A Contract With The Lesbian

Cecilia pov's

He turns to me and cleans the tears in my eyes when I asked him a question that made him freeze.

why do you dislike your parents?

He stares at me in shock and turns his back against me.

I went to the bed and sit down staring at his back. I guess he isn't ready to open up to me and I would wait I concluded ir my thoughts.

Sorry, I asked, it non of my business, I said when a knock came on the door. Immediately I stood up and open the door to see the maid with our meal.

“Come in, just drop it there and go," 1 instructed her and she did as I said before going out of the room.

Fredrick, just come let's have our meal I said to him, but when he didn't give me a response I went to stand in his front ar drag him with me.

We sat on the couch and began to eat our food silently when he broke the silence.

“I used to have an elder brother” he said and chuckled but I could feel the pains he felt from his voice.

He was the family favorite, my dad loved him, my mom loved him. Carl happens to be the only child who wanted anything to do with business, the perfect son, the one who got all the attention.

“But I was just like an outcast to the family, I wanted to be an artist, I just love how much I can design and create things from my imagination’, I love the fact that I could bring things back to life with my paint.

“I never got the support of my family and they were cold to me, the only person that supported my dreams was my grand and carl. But mom and dad wouldn't miss an opportunity to taunt me and show me how much they dislike what I do”. “Apart from my choice my dad especially hated the fact that I was weak and Carl he was so bold”.

“He sometimes punish me harshly for this or even lock me in the basement because I was weak and that wasn't the type heart expected from any Jago”.

“But no matter how he tried I still remain the same, just hating them until one day. When we were coming home from school, we encountered a terrible accident on the way and Carl died”.

“The pains and saddest in my heart was beyond me, I blame myself for it, if I hadn't distracted the driver by showing ther a butterfly I wanted to draw maybe then Carl would have been alive today’, maybe then he would still be with me now bu caused it.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“The pains in the eyes of my parents made me feel guilty, they mourn the death of Carl for days and it reminded me that was my mistake”.

“From then, I decided to be the man they wanted, the man Carl would have become, the man who would fulfill their wish, the favorite son they needed. So I stop everything that has to do with drawing, I became cold, ruthless, and hated them fa ruining my childhood".

“I became Fredrick Jago, but to date, I haven't forgiven them,” he said in conclusion as I was already in tears.

I quickly got up and hugged him tightly crying on his shoulders. He had a rough childhood and this has made him becom this cold. I can't believe this, I don't know what to say to make him feel better.

“Fredrick” I called and looked at him with sadness in my eyes but he flashed me a fake smile.

I want to take all that memories away from you, I want to replace every bit of those awuful moments with my love, my car my affection, and my presence I said to him and placed a kiss on my forehead.

He stood up from the couch and went to the window side backing me. He folded his arms and stares at the sky while I stood up and stare at him wondering what is going on in his mind.

You can't love me, Cecilia, because am too cold, I don't have any heart, and I can't love, don't you see that? He said to me still standing close to the window.

When he is sad then I became sad, I felt chills run down my spine, I become scared, what if 1 couldn't change him? What i he truly doesn't have any heart?. All these negative thoughts kept running through my mind. But I pushed them off, if he could open up to me then I am sure there is a heart somewhere I concluded in my thoughts.

Fredrick, I called and walked in front of him while he lifted his head looking at me. I could see the pains in his eyes

“I love you Fredrick and I know deep down somewhere you feel the same because you do have a heart," I said hugging hir before going to bed.

I climb the bed and used the duvet to cover myself, I don't know what made me say that to him but I hope he believes an sees the good in himself. Because am ready to show him that behind that arrogance and cold attitude there is a nice person there.

A few minutes later, I felt him climbed the bed and used the duvet to cover himself too. I turned in his direction and plac his hands on my waist while I rest my head close to his chest.

“Good night Fredrick," I said and drifted to sleep.

The next morning, I heard noises coming from downstairs, when I tured to check if Fredrick was on the bed I found out f wasn't sleeping beside me so I quickly tied my rope and walked out of the room following the noise until I landed outsid the house.

I saw them dragging luggage into the house and I wondered who else was joining the family.

I moved closer to have a better look at the person when she heard a familiar voice but I decided to push the thought awz I walked further outside the house and my eyes landed on someone I didn't imagine seeing.

“Betty,” I called lowly, shocked as I stumbled...
