Michan' Point of View:
I felt his gentle warm arm behind my back and clasping onto my waist. What was up with him, why would he do so, I could not understand. The unfortunate part of it was, I could not lash out at him for this because many people were there. Why would I ashame him now when I did what I did earlier in church to save him from disgrace. More unfortunate, my boyfriend; my kind understanding boyfriend was watching me from a well decorated round table at the extreme end corner. What would he think of this, I thought to myself.
Involuntarily, I glanced to his direction and caught the sadness in those black kind orbs.I tried moving away from Ginn but his grip became tighter earning a hard glare from me. "Just a little more Bes!" his address to me shocked me momentarily. He just called me 'Bes'. He spoke without looking my way and then turned cautiously and locked hi limpid crystal eyes with my grey gorgeous eyes. For the first time, I felt unfamiliar sensations in the pit of my tummy while my fragile heart flipped.
'Why did he look at me with this unfamiliar emotions? Was it admiration and a plead? What's happening? This must stop immediately! My consciousness flooded with questions.
"Will you please-remain-like this for-just-a little more-while?" He seemed to be spelling out his request but why would he want me to be like this. I could not put a finger to his reason. "Why? This is all an act anyway. We don't need to make them believe because sooner or later, they will find out when you get her (Kristine) back. So why?" I pronounced out my confusion.
The next song played shocked me as though it was an answer. I hated te way the song made me feel. It was Taylor Swift's 'You belong with Me'. And then the whole playlist proved to be annoying and horrible as well for me; JB's Let me Love You, August Alsina's I Need You.
Half an hour later,i walked to Davis' side. "Hey Babe! I'm sorry." He walked to me and led me to a blind spot from the guests and the others. His embrace was warm and demanding. He missed me for sure and his insecurity was sure evident. I felt horrible for making him feel this way when all he did was love me unconditionally. What should I do now, was my confusion play script. If only Danie was here, she would be able to know what to do. But she is not here, she is abroad with her new boyfriend on her dad' business.
Why am I helping someone who never considered me important and worthy of trust? Why am I driving in Magma for someone who chose Kristine his girlfriend over us his friends. My mind was fuddled in turmoil.
....Flashback...
"Ginn, believe me! We would never do anything to come between your love no matter how much we don't like her. We're your friends. For Christ's sake, listen to us. Think about it. Between us and her, who would prefer the other side out of your life? Ginn you know it in you. Don't you?" Michan spoke out in between uncontrolled sobs. "I don't." Ginn answered in bitterness shattering Michan's heart to pieces. Danielle looked at Michan and felt even more disgusted with Kristine.
Kristine had managed to use Michan's phone to tarnish her (Kristine) own name and connected it to Ginn to frame it to fit as though Mich and Danie wanted the two to break up.
"Nice play Kristine!" Is all Danielle was able to speak out through gritted teeth. She pulled Michan away but she didn't budge. "Danie, am not leaving Ginn before he understands me." Michan spoke pitifully. Danielle backed at her with the boiling anger within her. "Then stay here for the rest of your life because he will never understand you! As long as that wicked soul is still with him, he will never understand you." Danielle made to walk away but few steps away she heard a tight slap behind her. On turning, her blood boiled with anger. It was a scene of Kristine having slapped Michan. Now they had crossed the line and her limit of patience was destroyed.
In few steady long strides, Danielle was back to the scene with rage completed evident. "How dare you?" She screamed making all the students rooted in their positions. The speed she used to slap Kristine back and forth was fascinating. She made sure three slaps landed on each cheek simultaneously. Everyone, Mich and Ginn inclusive, was stunned. "Do. NOT. Play. With fire! Never hurt my Best friend again neither laying your filthy fingers on her. You know it, messing with me is a complete losing game for all around you. You mess with her, you mess with me. So keep your games to yourself. I can use all my power and money to destroy you if you temper with her, that's a promise. Keep your trophy (Ginn) this time 'cause there won't be another time to win." She stressed the word 'trophy' while looking at Ginn.
Danielle pulled Michan away and made sure to hit Ginn verbally. "Ginn, you have lost a gem and I mean a true gem. Keep the stone as the diamond slips away. I hope you never try to come near us in the near future so as to keep peace. You know why? Anyone no matter who, if they hurt Mich, I deal with them so I do not want to deal with you. So keep your limits. Are you curious why I'll not do anything this time? It's because she deserves trust from some people so since they don't rust her, I will let this slide." With those warnings, they departed leaving a large group of students still staring at the hurt Kristine.
As soon as they reached the restricted park-like area-their fun place -Michan let out her stifled sobs and later on they both went to the farm house and spent the night there after eating ice cream.
Unbeknownst to Michan, Danielle ordered her youth team of computer experts to take down the posts and news alongside comments of what had transpired at campus. Everyone, Michan inclusive and Kristine exclusive, wondered who had the power to erase the whole scandal social media blogs.
...End of flash back....
Remembering the betrayal, I hugged Davis tight and just dived into the moment. "Davis you know I love you, right?" He did not answer but let go of me and crushed his lips on mine pulling me into a demanding kiss that spoke more than I asked. After minutes of our hot kiss which I did not reciprocate with the same passion, he looked at me with the sad black eyes and spoke a statement that made me more guilty.
"I am sorry Mich. Babe I could not control myself anymore when I just witnessed you being kissed by him (Ginn) in church. After these years of dating, we never ever shared a mouth-kiss only cheek-kiss but what hurts is that he had your first kiss." Davis blubbered out everything with hurt evident in his tone and voice. "But why Mich? Why? Why couldn't you just turn and let him kiss the cheek? Anyways did you love the way he kisses more than I? Tell me!" He yelled the last two words.
I could not believe his words, I was shocked. The next moment I did not answer him and he crushed his lips on mine. But this time it was fiercer and I did not like it. I tried to break free but was too weak compared to him. I wondered to myself why I did not like his first kiss either and this second one, oh how I dreaded it. But why, I loved this guy and he loved me too even more.
I felt myself give up even though it was clear I distasted it. The next moment I felt Davis' lips leave mine forcefully by another person. In the tumult, I saw a hard blow meet Davis' well chiseled jaw and then a pair of strong gentle arms held me.
