COLOURS OF THE DEVIL 36: ACE'S BIRTHDAY
APRIL 1ST, 2009ACE'S POVLike air-raid sirens, her screams pierced the early hours of dawn, resounding through the terraced house, jarring my tired body to awareness. My every thought was in high-definition as my ears registered her intermittent wails. In silent consternation; with skyrocketing heart rate and dilated pupils, I galloped towards the room across the hallway from mine.There, in the shadows, lay Pebbles thrashing through another one of her nightmares. The sweat, the screams, her furrowed brows. You would have expected that after 42 nights, I would be accustomed to seeing her like this, but still, my soul could not tolerate the pain.“No — please, don't take him from me — don't take my Ace from me." My heart stung as soon as my name tumbled from her lips.I switched the bedside lamp on, “Pebbles, wake up,” I tenderly caressed her face. It took little to pull her from her nightmares anymore. Her eyes instantly shot open, releasing the tears that had gathered behind her clos
COLOURS OF THE DEVIL 37: THE DICKSONS
PEBBLES' POVThe past couple of days had been chaos. Bradley had two therapists come by the house since I demanded a meeting with them. I wanted to see if I'd be comfortable enough to lay on a couch in their office, spilling all my secrets and fears. The first one was a Mr. Spencer. He was a regular-looking man around Bradley's age; he spoke friendly, and he even had the nice guy-next-door smile, but the moment he shook my hand, I noticed it in his eyes. That thing that men like Sinister and Harrison possess, that twisted desire and greed that if they did not get what they crave, they would snap and take it by any measures necessary. Bradley saw my discomfort, and he immediately bid Mr. Spencer farewell.Mr. Cromwell was a unique case, and believe me, I say case because that's what he was. His beady eyes and sweat-stained armpits painted a picture of an addict of some sort. At least that's what Bradley said after he left. The first thing Mr. Cromwell mentioned was medications to help
COLOURS OF THE DEVIL 38: DRAG ME TO HELL
PEBBLES' POV“Did you at least return the favour?” Evie was dying to know if I went down on Ace.“No, I wanted to, but his grandpa is always around,” I grumbled against the phone.“Hey, do you want to watch a movie?” Ace inquired, startling me. I didn't notice when he walked up. He was leaning against my door frame with his feet crossed at his ankles.“Sure, give me a minute. I've got Evie on the phone.”“OK, tell her I said hello," he chuckled.“She says hi back,” I told him. He gave me a wink, and then he sauntered to his room across the hall. My panties were soaked just by him winking at me. I wondered if he knew how much of an effect he had on my body. Everything about him turned me on. His sweaty body, his tattoos, the way he chewed his food, damn even the way he rubbed his nose and lips using the side of his thumb. I did not know how much longer I could live like this—the temptation was strong, all 6ft 3 inches of it. “I'll talk to you later, Evie.”“Wait, if he is as big as you
COLOURS OF THE DEVIL 39: OLD FLAMES
He caressed the surface of her right thigh, gently running butterfly kisses along her nape as he slammed into her from behind. It wasn't the first time he had fucked her, and it wouldn't be the last. He recalled how horny and wild she was in her prime, but as he moved his shaft in a circular motion, her 65-year-old cunt squeezed his manhood hungrily. He remembered how in love they'd been as youngsters, but her father made certain the love never blossomed. He arranged for her to wed another man; a man he had only seen in magazines until he rescued him from the thug who almost killed him a couple of months ago. It destroyed his heart when she left him 44 years ago. To his surprise, after the incident at the restaurant, her face was the first and only one he saw when he woke in the hospital the next morning. Apparently, seeing him bruised and beaten reignited the flame which they thought was burnt out a long time ago. They started an illicit affair a couple of weeks later. When he firs
COLOURS OF THE DEVIL 40: CRAZY LADY
PEBBLES' POV“Are you nervous?” Bradley inquired as he manoeuvred around vehicles on the roadway.I fired three therapists in the preceding two weeks. They had the credentials, the experiences, and the certificates of merits, but my gut kept telling me they weren't suitable for me. Bradley was so considerate and supportive. I adored him so much. Ace won the jackpot by having the best dad in the world — and grandpa, Thomas, was still there with us. He was quite the comedian. Occasionally I caught him staring at nothing in particular; it almost was like he zoned out, and I recognized a vast amount of trouble and sadness in his eyes. But as soon as he was yanked back to reality, he was his crazy fun self again. Bradley and Ace didn't seem to detect his pain, even Ace mentioned to me that his grandpa had never been that frivolous and outspoken. Bradley explained it was extremely refreshing to see his dad so free.But my woman's intuition told me that
COLOURS OF THE DEVIL 41: DOCTOR BLAKE NELSON
PEBBLES' POVI sat in the waiting area, glowering at the black-framed clock that was perched on the wall to my left. My eyes scrutinized the second hand, which seemed to taunt me by moving oh so slowly. I peeled my eyes away from the time, silently vowing to myself not to look at it anymore as it was only elevating my impatience—but who was I kidding? I fixed my hands on my knees to stop them from shaking every five seconds, with my eyes still glued to the face of the clock. I knew I told Bradley earlier that I wasn't nervous, but the moment I stepped through the bubblegum-pink door, my heart rate escalated. I worked my palms to collect the pellets of sweat from my forehead, and then I wiped them on my jeans. I then rested my palms once more on my trembling knees.The sound of a door creaking caught my awareness. My head spun so fast, I was positive my neck would be sore for days to come. A tall, slender lady in her mid-thirties half-stepped from the opened door. Her pretty green bug-
COLOURS OF THE DEVIL 42: MARY IS CHEATING ON ME
BRADLEY'S POV“So Sinister was engaged before he married Kathy?” I questioned Jimmy. His real name was Sinister Henry. He took the name Hemington when he wed his late wife.“Yes, he was engaged to some rich chick named Miranda Townsend.”“I wondered why they called off the wedding?” It seemed a little peculiar to me. The documents demonstrated Miranda was from Georgia, so whatever transpired between them must have been tremendous for Sinister to flee to Florida. “I am not certain, but records indicate Miranda had a child — a son, to be exact — so maybe she was cheating on Sinister.”“That's excellent info. Perhaps I could get in contact with them, so I can get some dirt on Sinister,” I grinned at Jimmy.“I’m afraid the child died. I have a copy of his death certificate here. As for Miranda, no one knows what happened to her,” he handed me the file.“What do you mean, no one knows what happened to her?”“My sources claim she was enjoying her engagement party. She was set to marry an A
COLOURS OF THE DEVIL 43: GRANDPA COCK-BLOCKER
PEBBLES' POVJUNE 13, 2009Summer came cruising along, bringing with her intense heat. I did not mind; I embraced the warmth. That was one factor I missed about Florida; its climate. “Good morning,” I greeted Thomas and Bradley. They were relaxing on the lawn.“Morning, Pebbs," Thomas smiled.“Morning, Pebbles," Bradley's face settled into a grimace. “What on earth are you wearing?”“It's a booty shorts.” “I can see that. But do you have another one that covers all of your booty?”Thomas and I laughed at Bradley's protectiveness.“OK, Dad. I'll go change," I said mockingly. “Perfect. Remember, Blake and I are leaving for the weekend. Will you guys be OK?”Bradley and Blake had been dating for over a month now. I found it awkward at first, but she didn't treat me like a patient outside our sessions or mention things to cause me discomfort. She was very professional, and I respected her for that. Ace and I still couldn't take the images of Bradley going down on her in the living room
