EBONY
I came in to school the next day feeling back to my old self. Irene was finally getting in to her role (at last). The teacher was very pleased and even I was surprised, she was quicker at learning than the other sluts…but not by much.
By the end of the day I was painting the last of the background for the final act. If there was a few things thing I liked doing at school it was doing art, writing fanfics and music. So this made me feel relaxed and I soon forgot about Voltaire. I suddenly felt someone put their hands over my eyes. "You've missed a bit." I smirked and turned round with my eyes still covered. "I didn't think you'd be the cheeky type K-" He silenced me with a kiss and uncovered my eyes. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me."
"Same here." We agreed to both be mysterious and he watched me work. Irene and the other cast members were rehearsing their lines. I couldn't help but smirk when the slut started to fuck up on every line. It took an hour just for her to get through one scene without screwing up.
The drama teacher literally begged me to be Irene's understudy but I had to turn her down. For one thing I hated acting, another reason was a certain scene where Juliet would kiss Romeo. If I kissed anyone but Kai he would probably kill the boy and me in a second. Why would I want to kiss anyone but Kai anyway? I've got the best looking guy in the school. But I didn't choose him for his looks, I chose him because he and I just clicked when we were around each other. Now how many people can say that?
It was then I noticed Kai made me screw up the background with a snide comment from Irene. "I know you can't be a star like me but do try not to fuck up the background to bring attention to yourself." She tossed her hair in a seductive way over her shoulder; the boy playing Romeo couldn't take his eyes off her. But I held in a mile when I saw Max pretending to vomit in the bin. "Jealousy is pathetic Ebony."
"You should know all about jealousy Irene." She glared at me and walked away. I came over to Max and congratulated him on his bit of acting. "Did you see the way Romeo was drooling over her when it came to acting out the scenes?"
"I thought she was going to drown in it." I enjoyed Max's company when I needed my mood to be lightened. Kai was great to be with en all but he didn't really know how to make you happy like Max did. And right now I needed some Max therapy. I think Kai understood but still seemed a little annoyed when I preferred other people's company to his. He may've been able to hide it but I knew there was something wrong. But with Kai, it's better to let it slide than to bring attention to the little emotion he shows.
I remember being just like Kai when I first came here. But ever since he and I got together I allowed my friendlier side to come out…sometimes. "I have something to tell you." Kai said in a mysterious way that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention. Really, Kai can provoke such fear in me without even trying sometimes
Later I followed Kai to his car. We went to the beach and sat on a large bolder stretching out to sea. "What is it you want to tell me?"
"I found out why Voltaire gave you his blessing." He paused and looked unsure about continuing.
KAI
I knew Ebony's uncle was a touchy subject with her and I wished I hadn't opened my mouth. "Go on…what did you find out?" I felt like kicking myself but she had to know. "Your uncle left you some money when he died." Just like that Ebony's happy mood became sad in an instant. She looked away. "Oh."
"I'm sorry." She looked at me and shook her head. "Don't be, I'm glad I found this out from you. Hilary's mum would've taken forever to get to the point." Ebony did and impression of Hilary's mum trying to break the news to Ebony gently. "But the problem is she fucks it up royally sometimes. But why would Voltaire be interested in the money I'm getting, I mean it can't be enough to interest him-"
"£50,000,000." Ebony's eyes opened wide and her mouth dropped. "Unless your planning on having flies for dinner then I suggest you close your mouth." She glared at me whilst closing her mouth. "But he…I mean….no way!"
"Well that's what I was told." She looked at me questioningly. "That's not all is it?"
"Voltaire wants us to marry as soon as possible." Ebony looked sickened and glared at the sky as she lay back beside me. "The ultimate commitment? No fucking way! Fuck him! He has no control over my life and can kiss my ass. That money will never pass his hands! I'll make sure of it!"
"How?"
"I don't know! But I will!" I've never seen her more determined about anything before, it made her even more beautiful. I was proud to be with her. "Got it!"
EBONY
Kai lay back with his arms behind his head. His eyes were closed and no emotion was playing on his face again. He raised an eyebrow inquisitively. "If we are ever going to marry we can wait until that old git dies!"
"Can you wait that long?" I rolled my eyes before looking at him. "Can you?" He scowled in reply. "So it's agreed then?"
"Hmm." I took that as Kai's way of saying yes and layback down. We were there until nightfall before finally going home. Hilary was there with a letter for me. It had an official looking seal on it. "Open it, open it!" She cried looking very excited. I opened the envelope and read the letter very carefully. "So what's it say?"
"Dear Miss. Ebony Hokinowa
It is with great pleasure that I'm to inform you of your inheritance you shall receive on you next birthday. Your uncle was left £50,000,000 when he died. This was to be passed on to you as instructed.
From the holder of his will
Mr. Dickinson."
Hilary was speechless and her mother even more so. I just shrugged and went in to my room with the letter. 'Thanks for the heads up Kai.'
