Negotiations
Part 10
It's perfect. Kristy's birthday, and Marcus is a no show because he failed another science test. Not even one of the obligatory math fails, but science, which he passes about half the time. Kouki allows himself a snort, because it's worked out too well, especially with Sarah busy at work – which means it's just the two of them.
He's not even sorry for the girl he's going to send home in tears, because his mind is somewhere else. He's preparing his ice-cold dish of revenge – and Kristy is going to make some delicious ice-cream.
And it's so easy to make her crumble, make her cry. She's got a mouth to her, when he sets her off, but it's nothing and she runs, wailing. She trips and falls and he watches her, and she picks herself up and sets off again.
Bye bye, Kristy. And hello again Marcus.
