Blind in love

 

*Part 14*

 

 

I stood by the bedroom door carrying a Lamp. Simon entered the room. I put the lamp back.

 

Simon:(Crying)Stop Nancy.

 

It was my first time seeing Simon crying. I dropped the knife.

 

Nancy: I just wanted to hurt them like they hurt me.

 

Simon:(Hugging Nancy)You are going to get arrested.

 

Nancy: It’s fine I don’t care. My life is over anyway.

 

Simon uncuffed Sizwe. Simon walked me home.

 

Simon:( Giving me his jacket)Put this on

 

I took it.

 

Simon: Nancy I am sorry for what they did to you. God will deal with them

 

I just kept quiet.

 

Simon:Talk to me.

 

Nancy: About what?I’m going crazy here. I go around scratching peo…

 

He kissed me deeply. The warmth of his lips enticed me.

 

Simon:I love you okay

 

Nancy:I love you too.

 

He gave me the warmest hug when we arrived. I went home and took a bath.

 

Simon called me.

 

Simon:Hey do you feel better now?

 

Nancy:Yeah

 

Simon:Sizwe and Kristen agreed not to lay charges.

 

Nancy:Ok

 

Simon:You better sleep we will speak tomorrow.

 

Nancy:I’m suspended didn’t your girlfriend tell you?

 

Simon:About Thando can we speak tomorrow?

 

I hang up. Fact is I love Simon so much. The next day I went to the park and I saw Thando and Kristen. He looked better. I called Simon to come to the park. He arrived and saw them kissing.

 

Simon:(Shouting)Thando!

 

She looked at us and approached us.

 

Thando:I can explain

 

Simon:Go on

 

Thando:He kissed me.

 

Simon:Why didn’t you pull back?

 

I left them arguing and I went to speak to Kristen. He looked scared.

 

Nancy: Kristen please forgive me for what I did yesterday

 

Kristen:(looking down)I’m sorry for raping you. I was just trying to fit in Sizwe’s

 

squad.

 

Nancy:(Smiling)Friends?

 

Kristen: Friends

 

I was so glad that he forgave me. We watched as they argued.

 

Simon:It’s fine I love someone else anyway

 

Thando:You will not break up with me. I will break up with you first. It’s over. Simon:(Picking Nancy up) I’m single now do you wanna go out on a wheelbarrow picnic?

 

Sizwe approached
