Yours, Never Again

Victor’s pov

Eloise didn’t speak to me after dinner yesterday. I don’t know why she got cranky with me. I went to her room after David gave me an earful on how to treat women, but she didn’t answer when I knocked on her door last night. I wore my lucky top and matching cargo pants today with the hope that I and Eloise talk things out.

I came out of my room, the hallway was silent but I could hear soft groans coming from Eloise’s room. Nobody heard her because our rooms were at the extreme end of the hallway. What on earth is wrong with her? She sounds like she’s hurt. I ran into her room and I saw her curled up in a ball, her hand clutched to her stomach.

I knelt down close to her and I saw bloodstains on her pyjamas pants. Must be her period. I hugged her and patted her back, she wrapped her hands around me. Aww. “Victor, can you get me some tampons from one of the girls?” She managed to say. I picked up my to text my sister.

“Hey, come up to Eloise’s room with some tampons and she seems to be in pain, bring painkillers or something that can fix it,”

“Okay, bruv. You owe me one,”

How on earth do I owe her? I didn’t text her back. “Sorry baby, I asked her to bring you painkillers too,” I continued to rub Eloise’s back and she hugged me tightly. I used my second hand to massage her scalp, she already weaved her hair into cornrows and she soon fell asleep. What is taking Victoria so long?

Victoria came in after 10 minutes. “It took you 10 minutes to bring all these things up,”

“That’s not my fault man, no one had painkillers, I had to run down to the mini-mart.” She dropped the paper that contained what she got. I check through it and I saw something that looked like a water bottle.

“Why did you buy a godamn water bottle?”

“Does that look like a godamn water bottle? It is a water bag, a hot water bag. Idiot.” She yelled.

“You are going to wake her up”I warned her not wanting her to wake or startle Eloise.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I am awake already,” She released herself from my grip and she stood up then she picked up the paper bag Victoria brought in. “Thank you for getting me this Victoria, can you two excuse me? I would like to change.”

“Okay baby girl,” Victoria said and she pulled me out of the room.

“Why did you pull me out?”

“She needs her girl time dummy, go change your pants, they are stained,” I went to my room to change my pants. Tch, she only thanked Victoria and she totally ignored me. Women.

Eloise’s pov

“We get to pick up our partners?” I asked David.

“Yeah,”

“Your game suggestion is lame,” Victoria commented.

“It is not. Let me explain, gather around guys.” Everyone gathered around David. “Jackpot is played on teams of two, before the game we get to fix signals up with our partners. Secret signals. You use the signals to notify that have collected four of a kind. You should come up with fake signals to mislead your opponents, that’s usually the highlight of the game.”

“Who doesn’t know how to play jackpot?” Pia asked everyone and none signified. “In the absence of no one we should begin the game, I will team up with Martins.”

“I will team up with Chan,” I quickly added.

“Victor you are with me. We are going to teach them how it is done,” Victoria said to her brother. She is a bundle of joy.

“I am sticking to my boyfriend,” She said as she clutched Anderson’s arm and he blushed. Cute love.

“I am with David I guess,” Faith said.

“David, can we switch partners?” Victor asked his best friend. He is now partners with Faith. We started the game after we set our signals with our partner. We sat on the floor in the lounge. We were to pass the passing card clockwise.

Victor sat beside me, I didn’t know why I yelled at him at the table last night. I was probably irritable because of my period. Speaking of the period, I stained his pants with my blood. I could not say anything to Victor because I was embarrassed. I should have packed my bag myself. Tory was not aware that my cycle changed. The rate at which I get embarrassed is alarming.

The game went on, and Victoria and David already scored a point, I am trying to score a point with my partner. I collected four of a kind of card but Victor beat me to signal to my partner by telling me jackpot. I lost my opportunity and this went on till the end of the game. The major rule of the game was to maintain silence so we could not talk during the game unless it was time to s. Victoria and David won the game

“You were bullying El throughout the game,” Anderson defended me, that surprised me, I did not even realize it. That mf.

“He was reading your cards by passing you a particular kind of card,” Victoria explained to me.

“I didn’t even realize,” I laughed and the others joined me. “I am feeling sleepy, need to rest up,” I announced to them.

I went to my room to rest a bit I was feeling tired. I ordered a box of chocolate I was craving. I woke when I felt a head on my boobs and hands around my waist, I opened my eyes and I saw it was Victor. The chocolate I ordered was by my bedstead. I guess he brought it up for me and paid for it. I hugged him back. Suddenly I remembered what he did to me while we were playing jackpot I tightened my grip on him.

“David, you are choking me. Why is your chest so soft?” He grabbed my boobs thinking it was David’s chest and I pushed him off the bed. He realized he touched boobs not a man’s chest so he was awake. He winced in pain.

“I am sorry,” We said at the same time. “You can lie down on the bed if you want, I am just sensitive and my breasts are sore from period effects, sorry for pushing you off.” He climbed the bed leaving a huge gap between us.
