Chapter Three: Confessions-My Story
Disclaimer: I do not own the covenant of any of the character except for anything original and my OC, Claire Ross
"Faith is confirmed by the heart, confessed by the tongue, and acted upon by the body"
I stared at Tyler. -What did he say? - "I'm afraid you won't understand Tyler nobody can." "Well I'll just listen so you can get it off your chest and feel better." "Okay where do I start?" "Start with whatever you like?" "Well I'm Claire Ross. I was born in Miami, Florida. I'm 21 years of age. My mother, father and I lived in a little apartment building that I love so much. The neighbors were so nice, and then dad loses his job and starts to drink excessively. He beats and abuses my mother and me. When her body couldn't take anymore she died with serve scars, her body unhealthy and badly treated. My father didn't stop his exploitation didn't stop…" A sob racked my body, I started trembling the tears contained in my so long was now coming down like heavy rain. He embraces me in his warm muscular arms. I feel safe. "H-H-He raped m-m-e Tyler. I was about to give birth to a child because of him at the age of sixteen. B-b-but I aborted the baby. I couldn't live with m-myself"
Tyler's POV
I looked at her stunned. -What did she say? He father raped her, impregnate her. Is this possible? So young- My expression varied from sad to sympathetic to angry to concern to confusion, I can't believe I felt all of that. Why did she just trust me? Why did she break down like she did? "Sorry about that Ty. I'm just I don't know I need someone to talk to…to start my new life over I came to this school to teach. But I have been having nightmares lately and I haven't been eating or sleeping well." She gave me a heartbreaking sigh. "Don't worry I'll try to help." I smiled reassuring her that everything was going to be okay and the smile on her face told me she believe me. "I would like to thank you; I know how about I make you dinner, say sevenish?" "Sure Claire." With that I leave to be reunited with my friends.
Reid's POV
-Did I hear right? - I had just heard the conversation between Tyler and Claire. She trusted him, she was going to cook him dinner. -Did he want to win? - My thoughts clouded my mind and judgment. I enter the classroom without thinking. To see a startle Mrs. Ross spins around and her orb grew ten times the size in utter shock or was it amazement. "Hey Miss Ross." "Hi Mr. Garwin, what can I help you with?" "Nothing I just wanted to talk and besides you can call me Reid." "Reid were u listening in on Tyler and my discussion" I shyly looked down. While a skeptical look was imprinted on Claire's face. "Yea I kinda did. I'm sorry" that was weird I apologized. "Reid is something wrong you don't seem yourself?" Before I could contemplate what to do, my body move forward…crashing my lips on the very soft very pouty and full lips of Miss Ross. It lasted only a second before she push gently off my chest her honey orbs look cast downward. -What had I just done? I mean I want to win the bet but why am I acting like this? -
Normal POV
- What is Reid thinking? - "I think you should leave Mr. Garwin" silence befell us but he didn't move to leave. "Why should I leave? Why didn't you tell Tyler leave? You trust him. What makes me different? You're cooking him dinner." "It's nothing to do with you Mr. Garwin, who I trust or who I make dinner for besides it's only a thank you" "Thank you for what? Please Baby Boy is just trying to get a head of the game by getting you to trust him." "What do you mean Mr.-" "Call me Reid" "What do you mean Reid?" "It's just a bet between Aaron Abbot, Ty and me to see who can get you into bed." A proud smirk graced his lips before the thoughts of his action caught up with him it fell. Silence. "Get out Reid!" My shouts were covered by the bell.
The day was over and I was heading to my abode to cook dinner. Reid's words had slice through me like knives. His words were they true? I had to confront Tyler for some reason I trust him and I can't begin to explain the safety I feel when he's around. The water plummet down the smooth length of my creamy milk white back, tresses fell limp in front my face, the steam encasing me. I scrubbed myself clean wishing nothing more than the day's events to disappear. After my bath, my body was adorned with a pair of black tight short pants, a green halter top and some flip flops were on my feet. I head to the kitchen to fix up the dinner I had plan my day still replaying in my head. I turn the radio on to clear my thoughts as Cute is what we aim for's song "Teasing to Please" filtered through the speaks.
And so typically
And so typically
Soft, set back and perfectly dropped
Tough and learn, and so perfectly taught
I am as he does
You are as she was
And that's because
And that's because
But you never try
But you never try
Cause conflict and make your top pick
Restitch my ripped jeans
And take the old ones
Take the old ones out back
Sew them tight at the seams please
I've got so many ripped knees, ripped knees
I'm selfish as selfish comes
You're giving me a run for my money
Honey
This is a hint that you take
And you pull and you find a way out of what you got yourself into
But when you try
But when you try to get out you'll never find
That most definitely I will be attracted to you
If you pick my left side
Because you know how we do, we do
I'm selfish as selfish comes
You're giving me a run for my money
Honey
Cause conflict and make your top pick
Restitch my ripped jeans
And take the old ones
Take the old ones out back
Sew them tight at the seams please
I've got so many ripped knees, ripped knees
I'm selfish as selfish comes
You're giving me a run for my money
I'm selfish as selfish comes
You're giving me a run for my money
Honey
I'm selfish as selfish comes
You're giving me a run for my money
Just has I finished making the lasagna and some rediscovered cherry cosmos the door bell chimed just on time. Seven on the dot. The song Practice Makes Perfect playing in the background.
So sweet I can hardly speak due to such trauma in my teeth
But your body langauge is telling me that you're worth the pain
So weak I can hardly keep, shaky legs holding up my feet
But your body language is telling me that I'm not to blame
"Hey Tyler."

Practice makes perfect sense
"Hey Claire. Can I come in?"
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
But practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense to me
"Sure. How silly of me?"
Wake up, first light hearing you calling out
For your criminal clothing that fled the scene upon being ripped free
Conversation ensued
And I wanna do so many things to you
Sip after sip, you insist you're a hit.
Sip after sip, yeah I swear I can feel it.
"Your apartment is amazing. Real homey and comfortable."

He smiles his charming smile and I melt like a puddle at his feet.
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done what a mother wouldn't want, what a mother wouldn't want in a son
"Thanks. Dinner is almost ready."

He sits himself by the table. I observe him from the kitchen in appreciation his brown tussle hair, his chocolate cesspools and his well toned body clad in a pair of blue Levi jeans, a black pullover and a quick sliver hoody.

I quickly dished out our dinner and placed them on the table along with the drinks. We ate in silence. When we decide to eat some of my homemade pineapple upside down cake we broke our silence. "Tyler I hope everything tasted good, I'm not very good at cooking." "Aveva un sapore meraviglioso. Mi sono divertito ed è stato tranquillo contento" "Wow impressionante io non so che ha parlato itanlian e vi ringrazio" Giggles filtered through the air. He smiled charming up at me his eyes held an excited glow. "Ci sono un sacco di cose che non sai di me Claire" He sent me a flirtatious wink. "Ty I've got to ask you something.." I seemed nervous but why. "Sure. What's the matter?" "Well after you left today Reid came to meet me, he told me he overheard our conversation and then he told me that you just wanted to get me to sleep with you, his words are lies right? Please tell me you didn't make the bet." My hearted pounded deeply in my chest. "Well there is a bet, but it's between Aaron and himself then they drag me in, I didn't agree to it but it seems they expect me to participate." He sound defeated as he sighed. My own chest had fallen. "Sapevo che non farà una cosa del genere non so come io sapevo, ma ho fatto. Sono certo che Tyler. Sto per farti vincere."
