Bad boy's spec

Blood oath

Okay, pearl, just take it easy…. And besides who's that guy that drops you off every night?…….

I think i froze immediately i heard that…

Huh???…

I said who's that guy that drops you off every night?…

Oh… uhhmm it's a. ….a..… a friend, my friend from class. We are in the same class, we study together, and since i don't go with the school bus so, he … he's helping me out…..

Oh… that's good… that's so kind of him… why don't you bring him in for a cup of coffee, or probably tea..

Oh… is that necessary dad?…

It's not necessary tho, i just feel it's nice.. and i should get to know the only friend my precious pearl has…

You have a friend now? …. Mum called out from the dining table, she's setting the table, and i see Jason with her, he smiled on sighting me ...

Pearl ….. he ran to hug me.. i bend down to his height and wrap my hand around him.

Yes mum, i replied still hugging him…

Pearl, my new classmates were to clingy, especially when they got to know that daddy is a prince.. Jason whispered to me.

Okay pearl, go freshen up then come down for dinner..

Okay mum. Jason we will talk later, you are gonna tell me about those girls in your class and what they did okay,

He nod,

Okay Pearl.

I walked through the parlour, got to where mum is, pecked her and walk up to the stairs. I got to my room pull out my cloths, strode into the bathroom. Turn on the tap in the tub waited till it got filled up, put in two water bombs with honey scents then slide into it.. i placed my phone on the side of the tub, listening to Khalid: location.

I love the cold water, the way it feels on my body.… i breath in as the thought of Stephan creep into my mind.. do i really want him? Do i love him. By 27th i will be leaving to college. And i am sure he's going out of the country, i wonder how we are gonna be meeting, "well that's if you date him pearl. " my subconscious said to me… gosh i don't know when i will stop this trashy attitude. Talking and replying myself, well, it's actually nice since i am the only one hearing myself.. gosh am i even making sense.. .. my current music end, moving to the next on the list. Same Khalid: young dumb and broke...

Pearl… i heard my name from the room..

Hey. Jay.. am coming, am in the bathroom… i yelled back to him..

Okay, i will just wait..

Are you done eating?. What's for dinner?.

Mum prepare Rice and egg sauce.. and have not eaten mine yet. I wanna tell you over dinner..

I smiled.. okay, am about coming out, can you step out for a while?.

Oh.. okay, i will be in my room just call me when you are going downstairs.

Yes sir, … i heard his chuckled, then opening and closing of the door.

I stood up from the tub.. free out the water, got under the shower to wash out the bubbles on my body… took a towel, wrap it around my body then walked out…

---------------------------------------------

Jay!… i knocked on his door.. i heard the noise coming from his video game.. i guess they bought all of that when he went with mum to the mall for shopping..

Pearl hold on…am coming, just wanna pause my game….…

He walked out as he grab my hands with his small finger..

Pearl, are all girls clingy?. You know when we were with mummy, i was going to an all boys school…

Oh… i signed in realisation.. now i get why all this is new to him…

We got down the stairs to see Ace, mum and dad in the living room watching football,

Now you can eat with your sister.. mum said with a grin..

Yep … Jason replied with a genuine smile..

Pearl, he said he wanted to eat with you, dad helped me solve the puzzle after seeing how confuse i am with their short conversation.

Oh… well that's my brother for you… i love him the most..

We walked to the dining table with smile on Jason's face, he's so adorable

So Jay tell me about your new school.. i said as i dish out my portion and did the same for him, it was easy because he was sitting near me.. i added the egg sauce to our food and we began eating.

You know, my teacher gave us an assignment yesterday, asking us to draw our family tree to see if we are conversant with our family history, so me and mum did it together before you came back from school. And when i submit it today, they were really surprise even my teachers started giving me special treatment and during lunch. I and Jayden my only friend went to the cafeteria just to eat only to be the center of attention, every single person has heard. Especially when Ace and mum came to pick me today, and they saw him.. my female seniors were all drowlling.. When i even got back home and i took my phone, i notice that i have been added to my school watsapp group.. i was so frustrated.. it's really tiring don't they understand am just 9?.

My picture is trending like a virus.. i don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, i feel so insecure in such a place..

I chuckled.. you don't like all those royal luxury right?

Yeah.. i don't ... i makes me sick, although mummy likes it..

I furrows my brows. … you mean mum here or mum before?.… i asked him

Mum before.. he replied… Jason i understand you okay, i am going to take you along with me to school tomorrow, hope you don't mind us trekking to school?.

Nope… i don't. That's an opportunity i have been waiting for, i want to see how it feels to trek, i will get to see some places and other things have always wanted with a clearer view…

I felt something cold touched my feet..

Hey. Kitty, how has Ace been treating you huh?

I picked it up from.the floor, signalled to Jayson to pass me it's plate.. i pour out of my portion of food into it's plate, and passed it to her..

But mum gave a big portion to it earlier, Jason protests.. it's gonna get fat and lazy....

Kitty, Jason said you are gonna get fat and lazy… i said rubbing kitty's furs.. it's so cute and white… i love rubbing it's furs,

It's gonna come with me to oxford hope you are aware?…. I ask raising an eyebrow to jason..

Well, i guess i will have daddy get me my own pet, or i could get lucky tomorrow to see a stray cat as well, i don't mind having a puppy tho… you actually made me love pets, mummy said pets are dirty and they go around with germs all the time and they get clumsy at some point..

What! She said that?.. that's not true tho.

I knew…. she's a perfect liar, he whispered the last part…

Stop it Jason, she's your mum okay, i scolds..

Well, was my mum… Rebecca is my mummy now.. he shrugged. You know what Pearl, i was so anxious to leave, even before dad told us, or should i say me about you guys. I was so happy when i heard he has another secret family. I wanted to leave that day…. He smiled… i was troubling him to get in touch with you guys for months, it was really hard for him… based on the fact that he said he hasn't been with you guys since i was born, he felt so ashamed to even say hi, he came checking up on you guys for months.

I know Jason.. you see life is f****d…

Oh, pearl i caught you finally, you are dropping a bill… … he snapped his small left finger stretching the right palm forward…

Gosh, Jay… i whine… you know i love you right?.

Yeah, and i love you too… just drop the dollar bill already… you cursed..

Okay, okay, i pulled out my wallet from my back pocket.. checking out for a bill…

Jay would you take some coin?

Pearl don't be stingy.. i asked for a dollar bill and you want to give me something not up to it?.. Gosh..

I smiled… your accent is so pure and distinct. I removed a dollar bill from my wallet.

He smiled and collect the money from me…

Hey, what's with the money… did you swear?…. Ace called out to me..

Well i did actually…. Yes she did…

I and Jason said it together … we stare at each other then burst into laughter….

Are you guys mocking me?.. what did you guys talk about, am sure it has to do with me, that's why you are all cocky and suspicious and have been whispering to each other, what have you been planing..

Well… i smiled, turning to Jason, he had a mockery grin on… you see Ace, we are planning on kidnapping you and taking you to an underdeveloped country, somewhere in Africa..

I felt the chair pillow hit my head immediately i said that… oh s**t! Mum's is an African..

Pearl run… i heard as i see daddy holding mummy down, oh… i dragged Jason and we both ran up the stairs, in the process knocking of kitty and her plait of food…

I am gonna catch u pearl! You and Jason.. we heard her yelled.. and we bursted into laughter..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*milliseconds into second, seconds into minute, minutes into an hour, hours into day, days into week. And it was few days to my departure… i will be going to oxford in two days time.. how i am feeling, is just out of it.. i feel sad and at the same time am exited about this whole departure… i shouldn't feel sad, because i and Stephan are a thing now, i mean it's awkward right?. I just feel at ease with him. Although i don't really know how the word love is described.. but with what have read in novels and how both mum and dad had explain their love to us, i don't think what i and Stephan share is love, but mum said it starts somewhere, and that it's not immediately.. and she also doesn't believe in Love at first sight. Well i don't know what her reasons are and why she strongly believes that.. but that was what she said.. I remember the day Stephan came home, if you would remember, dad said he wants to see my only friend. I told Stephan the next day at school, he was so nervous he couldn't go out for lunch. He couldn't concentrate in class, i had to drag him to the basket ball court, and kissed him… it seemed the only thing i could do to help at that moment.. i tried talking him out of his nervous self, but instead he replied he was going to see the crowned prince and the last princess from Egypt. He checked himself through the side mirror all through our ride home, … chuckling… do you know he actually freed his driver that day… Ace being the naughty Ace i know, he stretched 100bucks to Stephan saying "Pearl how many times have i told you to always compensate the chauffeur?. Huh? ….. am really sorry for her behaviour." You need to see the looks on Stephan's face it was priceless, that i had to burst into laughter.. what the f**k Ace! … i replied him… he shrugged and was like do you know him? Isn't he the chauffeur?… i smiled… Ace… he's my boyfriend, stop the naughty attitude, didn't i tell you i was bringing Stephan today? .. Stephan am sorry, am really sorry for Ace behaviour, he's my naughty elder brother.. Ace meet Stephan. Stephan Nicholas. And Steph this is Ace, Ace summer.. *

Hey… why do you seem lost.... have you been listening.. pearl.

Yeah, i have… i smiled at him..

Okay what did i say last… he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Uhhhmm you said "last" i replied with a naughty smirk..

Okay, i get it, you wanna play....

You are too serious with whatever your were saying and you know me, i don't like being all serious and all. The only time i get serious is during Ma'am Pavitra's class. I don't even know why science student take history class i think that should be for those in the Arts…

The pearl, i know is always serious.. if she isn't how then does she A's almost all her courses?....

During exams, i cram up just to pass Steph, after the exam ask me anything and you can be sure i can't remember anything again..

Hmmm okay.. you've succeeded in diverting my attention away from what i was talking about..

I pouted… i want to eat Stephan…

Pearl, don't you wanna hear it?.. it's important.. i am serious…

*Presently, am in Stephan's house. Or should i say we are in stephan's house, in his room, we actually sneaked in, not wanting his Dad to see me.. we jumped in through the window to the guest room downstairs, sneaked out of the room, then walked through the stairs only to be caught red handed by his dad. Who called out to Stephan from the living room and we froze only to rush inside his room laughing so loud. His dad came banging the door and we just stare at ourselves waiting till he got tired, which he actually did. Although, not without threatening to call the police and Stephan signed. When we had his foot step we bursted into laughter the second time...

Okay tell me Stephan, i want to hear it.

Pearl, i don't want you to go, at the same time i want you to go, i am gonna miss you.. i don't wanna be away from you.. have grown to love you so much.. pearl please.. what can i do to help myself.

Stephan, i understand how you feel, i feel the same too. Seriously i don't wanna go, and i also which to go..

So what we gonna do now?

I seriously don't know.seriously, it really confusing. Stephan.

Pearl, promise me you would love me, you would always do, and nobody else, promise me am the only one in your life?

Stephan… why are you asking all these? I stared at him with wide eyes.

I can't be fighting to keep myself from other girls at the same time trying to keep you from other guys, i don't want someone else, it's you i want. I wanna spend my good and bad time with you, i want you to be the only girl i will kiss. Pearl, i want you to be my first everything. Please can you assure that for me?.

Stephan you are making me scared. You are talking like you are gonna die the next minute. I don't like dis Steph…

Pearl, hope you understand what it means to love, you were my first love, my first kiss. I want it to continue, i don't want to share anything with someone else.

You mean s*x? …. Can we possibly do that? No, i can't assure you with s*x, but i want you to trust me.. i will keep my decision and stand by my promises, just do your part.

'

You telling me you will stand by your promise isn't enough. I want an agreement between us.

Aren't we making an agreement?

We are, but am dealing with one of the member of the royal family, which happens to be my first, since the royal family is involve anything can be changed at any time.. but am sure the royal family understand the important of of oaths in an agreement, especially blood oath.

What!! You want take an oath with you?… not just any oath, but blood oath… where are you from?. The nineties huh?. I can't do that.. what if i was r***d, what if you fall out of love, and u meet someone else. I will be stranded. Sulking over a lost love? No, Stephan i am not making any oath with you.. let love leads, wherever it leads us to then am fine with it... you should to…

Pearl, do you love me at all, ? I wanna be faithful for you. I am going to France for college, we have lots of miles separating us apart, oath would make us bonded together, no matter the distance. Please let's do this for the sake of our love, our heart beat for each other Pearl..

Stephan, blood oath is pretty much, it's not something one can just wake up one morning and decide to make.. i don't think i am ready to do such..

There would be condition. Pearl, a condition would be attached to it.. i swear, it's a simple one..

Hmmm. Still it's not proper..

I know but please.. he held my hands… please pearl.

Okay, let me hear it.

We can break such covenant, only if we fall out of love, and we both must be present to break it, since we were together when making it..

Gosh Stephan, i don't know why all this is necessary... i am getting scared.

He brought out a new blade, drag out my palm. Drew the blade on my palm while i shriek in pain. He did the same for himself, i felt i shouldn't do dis, he joined our hands together where the cut was made.

Repeat after me pearl..

Okay… i was scared. I hope i don't regret this.

I Stephan Nicholas, would love and cherish you. No matter whatever situation i find myself.

I Pearl Summer, would love and ch. Che. Cherish y. You *i was shuttering* no matter the… *i swallowed* the situation i find myself.

I promise to remain faithful, as long as this oath isn't broken..

I promise to *i was sweating under the A.C already* remain faithful, as long as this oath isn't broken.

we will live together as one, you will bear my kids if this oath isn't broken.

*i gasp* he stared at me.. he wants to marry me?..

We will live together as one, and i will bear our kids if this oath isn't broken..

To break this oath, we will sit right here together, facing each others and cut ourselves to spill out blood so as to break the oath.

*i was amused with the condition he set… like right here?.. what if this house get demolished..*

Hey.. he tapped me..

Stephan, it should compulsorily be here, anywhere we can meet we will sit together like this and break it.

Okay, To break this oath, we will sit, facing each other, anywhere in the world and cut ourselves to spill out blood so as to break the oath.

To break this oath, we will sit, facing each other, anywhere in the world and cut ourselves to spill out blood so as to break the oath.... i repeated it

Till death do us part as long as this oath is still standing and not yet broken..

Till death do us part as long as this oath is still standing and not yet broken.. i repeated.. he took my hands which was already sticking to his blood, he licked out my blood… *like what the f**k, is he a vampire?*

He stretched out his hands to my lips urging me to lick up with my hands still in his mouth..

I love you Pearl Summer.

I love you Stephan Nicholas.

I hope i did not just make the worst mistake of my life….. i hope i don't regret this.

He released my hands, and pull my face to him, he kissed me..
