A Poisoned Mind

Chapter twenty three

Marvin’s POV:

Making my way home, I all I could think about was an old friend of mine... Her name is Mimi or Maryam, but I use to call her Mimi for short! I have known her since secondary school, and I always fancied her! But she never took an interest in me in more than a friend... Sometimes when I got home, I use to cry to my mum about how much I wanted her to be mine! When I got in to my home, I sighed as I looked at the phone; I made my way over to it before dialling a number.

(Your name)’s POV:

You had gone back up to your flat, but it was five minutes since you had come back up. The tears hadn’t stopped, if anything it seemed that they’d never stop!

Ten extra minutes were added on to the five minutes before, and you were laid out on the sofa, relaxed and happy. His hand softly stroking your hair, as your head was laid gently on his lap, making it a soft pillow “(Your name),” his soft voice spoke gently “yeah,” you replied as your eyes began to shut with the softness of his touch “you do know how sorry I am, right?” He asked like a small child making you smile “of course! And I’m sorry too,” you added “what for babe?” He asked sounding confused “for being a bitch and blaming everything on you,” you said quietly as you felt him smile, but you sat up. “Don’t leave me!” He begged as you went to get up, but he grabbed hold of your leg “Ast! I wanna go to the toilet,” “I don’t care... I don’t want you to leave me!” He pleaded as you giggled “Ast let me go... I’m gonna piss myself if you don’t,” “true,” he chuckled as he let you go as you ran over to the toilet in desperation for the loo “come straight back here though!” He called, just as you shut the door.

Walking back out of the toilet and over to the sofa, where Aston was still sitting grinning as he watched you walk over. “What you grinning about?” you asked cheekily, as you sat down next to him, as he winked “you,” he smiled as you smiled, but something happened making you press your lips softly on to his for a few moments, performing a gentle peck on the lips, but when you pulled away, you became shy “sorry...” “Shut up and kiss me,” he said huskily, as he laid over you, kissing you passionately, but one thing was leading to another. A few seconds had passed, and Aston started to strip you down “mm... No... Ast... No,” you mumbled between kisses, but he pulled away “why not?” He asked being upset “I’m not ready,” You frowned as he frowned “not ready for what?” He asked you softly as he looked deeply in to your eyes “you know... Sex,” you said feeling embarrassed “that’s why I’m here... To make you ready,” he said quietly “but I’m not feeling very well... I have had a heavy cold since June,” you frowned, but Aston sighed “I’m sorry, I would do it with you, but not right now,” you sighed, feeling slightly angry with yourself “okay babe,” he said quietly and slowly as he got himself up from you, and walked off over to the front door “Aston! Please don’t leave,” you called “I should be getting back anyway... It’s eleven,” he sighed, as you looked at the clock, but when you looked back at the spot where Aston was, he had disappeared.

JJ’s POV:

“Ah, come on babe!” I called to Nicole “coming!” She called back, “I wanna see what you’re wearing!” I called to her through the en suite door “yeah, just getting my heels on!” She called back. I and Nicole were going out for a meal. I hadn’t taken her out in almost a month; work was getting too much in the way, so to make it all up I promised that I’d take her out tonight! It’d be a good treat for her. After a more moments of waiting Nicole stepped out from the bathroom wearing a black with silver patterns on the flutter sleeve that elegantly fell down her right are, “Wow! You look stunning,” I gasped “thanks,” she giggled nervously. I hadn’t told anyone about this, but I and Nicole had been dating for about half a year and I was hoping to pop the question tonight. Aston had helped me a little bit on how to make it romantic and when to ask her the question; he told me to ask her when she is least expecting anything to happen! And I had the perfect restaurant, the perfect timing and the perfect ring!

We both made our way down to the restaurant and I had booked a table on the top part of the restaurant where you could see the whole of London lit up and much gosh did it look stunning! It would just compliment tonight, and hopefully how perfect everything was going to go... As time passed me and Nicole was looking out at the massive window, staring at all the beautiful lights, but I took a quick glimpse of her and it didn’t look like she was expecting anything “Nicole...” I started getting her attention “yeah,” “I wanna say, you are the most beautiful woman in the world! Every day I look forward to seeing you, and every morning I wake up I know you’ll be there and it makes me proud knowing that your mine... I wonder what our future holds, and I’m sure it’s gonna hold lots of wonderful things, so why shall we dream it and not live it?” As I asked that, I got up from my seat and crouched in front of her, and pulled out the black velvet box “Nicole... Baby... Will you marry me?” I asked her quietly as I pulled back the box lid to show the ring as she gasped at the sight of it, her hands covering her mouth as tears started to form in her crystal eyes “yes!” She squealed as I got up and hugged her. I was slightly surprised myself that she said yes! I slipped the ring on to her finger, as we both smiled and chuckled at each other, the waiters and waitresses clapping in the background, but I couldn’t contain my excitement no more. “Hold on, one second,” I said quietly to her as I walked over to the stairs and went half way down them “SHE SAID YES... SHE BLOODY SAID YES... I’M ENGAGED WHOO,” I shouted in the restaurant making Nicole giggle as the whole of the restaurant roared with cheers and claps, but then Nicole connected herself to my side...
