Mercy
I was woken up by the rays of the sun, peeking through the white curtains, I smiled images of last night playing in my head, after that hot session of love making last night. Tom made us something to eat we were both tired yet full of life and anticipation of what we will do next, which was making love in our bed all night long, till I couldn’t open my legs, they were shaking.
“You awake, come downstairs Antony and Maria are waiting for you downstairs, said Tom walking by my side and peck my forehead, his eyes were smiling “ you look like you woke up early" I commented snuggling in his arms, “ I woke up 3 hours ago, lazy cat" I gasped and he laughed.

I saw disappointment, hurt, and anger flash through Tom's eyes. “here” he stretched out his hand with a brown envelope I took it with shaking hands, he looked at me one last time before he vacated the room, everyone’s eyes were in me disapprovingly. I opened the letter /dear Mercy I’m sorry I hurt you, if I didn’t become part of your life you wouldn’t go through what you went through, I realized that I didn’t love you enough when your husband jumped in to take a bullet for you when he believed you when I didn’t, he loves you with every fiber of his bones, I am leaving for good this time hopefully I will find me another you.

Mercy's povMy day was going well until some girl decided to sit beside me in my last class, she was so babbling as if she knows me, I did I'm what good at, avoided her, gave her the silent treatment, she did not seem to mind though, the more I gave her a cold shoulder the more chatty she was.I ended up losing my temper " don't you know how to interpret gestures?" I yelled at her which invited attention to us, she looked at me and smirked a little before mouthing " nice one dragon keep the fire coming".The lecturer asked if have a problem, I wanted to scream damn yes, please move the chatterbox next to me, but come to think of it the lecturer would not, I saw a slight smile playing on his lips when I lost my temper instead of being vexed he smiled, that didn't make sense to me.I rolled my eyes" he likes you" the Barbie doll next to me disturbed my peace once again, I breathe in slowly" do you ever get tired of talking " she chuckled.
