Taesha sat there worried, looking at Dexter's mother crying while waiting on her to tell her what Dexter hadn't. Recognizing Mrs. Lee was getting more and more emotional. Almost to the point of pleading with Taesha to give her son up and set him free and asking Taesha repeatedly. "Walk away. I want to spare you any pain. "Pain? From what?" Taesha knew he was hiding something, and now she was about to find out. Taesha sat there motioning her head, saying no. No, this is not taking place and couldn't be real."Look, Taesha, you're a beautiful girl, but you know what my husband will tell you if he has to deal with this. No, you don't know what he will say. "Can't you find a nice man of your nationality and ethnicity? Let my son do the same, and you both can be happy. Why put yourselves through so much difficulty and pain?"Taesha, out of respect, sat there listening to the unkind agonizing, and outright offensive words that Mrs. Lee spoke. Taesha sat there trying to contain herself, mot
The minute Riley and Taesha went their separate ways, Riley picked up his cell phone and called Dexter. I need to give my Cuz a heads-up of what auntie and uncle are up to."Hey, where were you while your girlfriend was getting pounced on by your parents?" "What do you mean?" "I just left auntie's house, and Taesha was walking out of the door on the brink of tears." "What?!" First of all, Dexter couldn't believe what his ears were hearing. He pressed his index fingers against his temples, trying to slow down the ensuing pain of anger. It took him a second to grasp what his cousin said."She didn't tell me what aunt and uncle had said to her, but I could only imagine it wasn't good.""I'm leaving the eye doctor right now.""I thought you told me that you had stopped seeing your eye doctors." "That's correct, I came here for my mom, so I could prove to her my being able to see nothing to do with these doctors or any trial medicine that they have been giving me over the years. I hope
Dexter arrived at his mother and father's house unannounced for the first time in a long time. Then, finally, he spoke in a normal tone."Mother, is my father here? I need to speak to you both." "Come in, Dexter. How are you doing? Yes, your father is in his office. How did the doctor's appointment go?" "I prefer to talk to you together." Pamela looked surprised at her son's demeanor. "Okay, let's go to his office. What is it? Does it have something to do with my conversation with Taesha?" Dexter didn't answer, but his mother said. "You know I did that for your protection." Dexter taps on his father's closed office door. "Come in and have a seat.""Look, I'm going to get straight to it. I'm getting married to Taesha Tran with or without your approval. So whatever you have planned with Candance Coldwell, you can cancel that because I'm not in agreement." Dexter said with his eyes narrowed at his father."I don't understand. I was nice enough to let you off the hook by letting you
Dexter sat in his car, relieved that he got it all out and off his chest. Then, he picks up his phone to make two critical calls. “Riley, it’s done.” “Wow! Good for you, man! So what’s your next step?” “Freedom to live my life!” “Alright then. I wish you and Taesha the best. Keep me posted.” “Will do. Hey Riley, thanks for everything and always being there.” “We have each other’s back. Call me.”“I have so much to take care of, but I’ll call you.”~~~~~Meanwhile, Taesha all evening had been processing what Dexter had revealed to her about his eye condition. “I was the first person he had ever seen correctly!? No, that’s impossible! But he wouldn’t lie to me. But what was it about me that affected his sight?” Taesha ponders over that question at least a million times.“We need to discuss every step in detail. I got to figure it out. Then, I can trace the details of the first night we met and see if I can get any clues.”Since Taesha enjoyed chemistry, delving into and investiga
Taesha woke up a six in the morning and began packing. She had only slept about three hours, too excited to sleep any longer. In two hours, she was ready to leave Alaska. She was sitting on the sofa dressed in a beautiful sweater outfit.It was a deep rust color cashmere snug turtleneck sweater. With a slightly lighter wrap-around fitted skirt that was about two inches are so above her knees. The three-piece ensemble had a matching maxi-length sweater with a hood attached to it. Taesha finished the outfit with her knee-length suede deep rust stiletto high-heel boots.Taesha's make-up was done beautifully, and her wavy black long hair was combed off her face as it hung down her back. Each side of her hair was tapered back, exposing her hanging light rust and cream tassel earrings that matched the long clustered pearls and dark rust necklace.She double-checked to ensure she had on the necklace that Dexter gave her under her turtleneck sweater. Even though it wasn't exposed, it hasn't
"I've been meaning to ask you this, where are we going?""You know I like surprises, and I know you don't. But I have one question for you. Do you trust me explicitly?"Dexter asked Taesha, "Yes," It just made him vocalize his feelings for her. Then, turning to face her even more, he says, singing in a sultry voice. "If you only believe what you see, you will never find love. One hundred percent guarantees never show the way. The poets agree nothing heals a blind passion, but as soon as you are willing to leap, it saves the day. We've climbed out to the edge of this mountain called loved, and if we jump off together, hold on. Then surprise cause, we rise and light the sky as we fly through the air with no care of the ground below because we know that we know. Sometimes the seeds we sow are like the wildest flowers suddenly blossom and grow in an unexpected place, but only God can bestow love and all its powers, and he has been planting them here right before our faces.We stand l
They hugged and waved goodbye to all their guest and family. Taesha turns to Dexter. "so where do we go from here?" The look in her brown eyes looked charcoal with an expression he had never seen before until now.The goosebumps on her exposed arms aren't from the temperature. No, it's from the heat in Dexter's touch on her arms."I have a place not too far from here." He whispers against her ear sending fire through her veins."Let's go." She says.Once they entered the limo, passion unfolded quickly. Taesha tells the driver, "Can we have some privacy?" Dexter looks at his wife with a glint of surprise but filled with happiness. But when she snaked her legs over Dexter's lap and planted this hot kiss upon his lips. His and her desire for one another quickly unravels in the limo.Dexter's heart is racing! He hesitates for a few seconds, looking at Taesha. Her long black curls surrounded her face, showing off all the perfect features he had come to love. Her narrow chin, high cheeks, s
Dexter smiles, replying, "this is my first time, but not in the way your thinking." She says, walking up to him, not even hesitating. She is a beautiful contradiction of purity, and naughty all rolled into this perfect little woman as Taesha grabs his belt, buckled, and begins to undo his pants from around his waist. "Oh, you have no idea what I'm thinking. If I'm your first Dex, that's even better." She kisses his stomach and lets her heated tongue follow that trace of fine black hair down his abdomen. "Mmm, starting here and now, you are my first and last Tae," Dexter says as his deep groans and heavy breathing fill the room.His heart is wild in his chest, and his head is swimming with passion while Taesha makes love to him then and there. Dexter's head falls back in ecstasy. He has had girls do things to his body, trying to prove something to him. But this was different. It felt different. Her touch, unlike any other, filled him with fire that felt like he was about to be cons
Dexter thought about how it would pain him if he lost his Gamma. His family wasn't perfect, but he loved them. To lose his grandmother would be a significant loss in his life too. He held Taesha in his arms as they lay in bed and cried together. Then, they took a flight to Taesha's home for the funeral, and he served as one of the pallbearers for funeral. Unfortunately, they all had come together on such a sad occasion, but Dexter met even more of Taesha's family. She showed him pictures of her Chinese father, and Dexter could see the resemblance. He loved his mother-in-law. Taesha's Chinese father couldn't appreciate what he had in this woman, Taesha's dear mother. Dexter thought maybe Taesha’s father let the idea that she was black and he was Asian and how the outside world constantly tries to look down on interracial couples. Too bad her parents could find that kind of love they had for one another.~~~~Several weeks back at home and into their routine. Taesha realized her period
"Taesha! Taesha!" "What, boy? What's wrong with you?" She asked, turning to look at him, concerned by his panicked voice as he entered the kitchen, huffing, and puffing."Baby, are you sick?" Dexter asked breathlessly."No, why would you think that? Wait! So you do know what you did?" She looked at him suspiciously."I don't know what I did. Did I do something, Tae? You just freaked me out! Whew! It's good you're not sick. So what is it that I supposedly did to you without knowing I did it?" Dexter asked with a sigh of relief. Taesha swallowed hard. "Don't be sarcastic! You got me pregnant!... I think...!" "Pregnant?" Dexter chuckled. "No way. Did I get you pregnant?” He asked excitedly. “No, did we get each other pregnant?" He pointed at her continuing. "Sorry, I didn't get that memo." Dexter laughed."Don't laugh. Dexter, did you knot me up on purpose? Look at those eyes. Yes, you did! I've been trying not to think that you would do something like that, but you did! Ooh!" She
The honeymoon phase was filled with steamy nights at their home in the mountains. It appeared every two weeks, Dexter's sight would diminish and return to total darkness. But waking up blind wasn't as frightful now because he knew the capacity of one glass of Taesha’s homemade wine could do for his sight. Dexter, of course, was grateful for this breakthrough. Any breakthrough that could give him the sight he's always longed for, and he wanted Taesha to seriously consider sharing it with the masses of color-blind and legally blind people. But she was afraid of all the responsibility. Taesha was content, knowing it helped him; she didn’t want fame or notoriety. Even though she did want to help people, she had to figure out how to do it without drawing too much attention to herself. Taesha couldn't believe how one horrible night stranded on the side of the road turned into this dreamland life. But, then, she was a married woman. To a wealthy, handsome man name Lee Dexter, who were many
Careless or Careful?"I don't know why but It's in the music, books you read, and some movies. I decided if I found the one, and I did, I would treat you with the utmost love and dignity. Out in a world, it's full of lust, Taesha. It's all about pure selfishness. My music is successful because I write what women need and want to hear. But women are very complex creatures, emotional and all. I've seen countless women willing to do a lot to get a man, win his love, money, and sometimes his body. Observing, being alone, I've learned much from females.""You mean you used the females for business purposes?""That's not fair. I've never taken advantage of anyone.""What am I? Some experiment for you to examine and use?" She stepped away. "No, never! I'm trying to say that, for the first time, you were the first girl I couldn't read or figure out, and you certainly have never been willing to do whatever I wanted you to do, and you were careless about my wealth. And when it comes to my body
Laying in bed, Taesha couldn't immediately dismiss her strong thoughts and urges. Instead, she felt a rush of excitement come over her, knowing how Dexter felt about her. Glancing at the clock, Taesha realized her day would start in the next two and half hours. She knew she had to get control of herself to go to sleep. When the alarm went off, to her surprise, she rose full of energy, not the least bit tired. Taesha took a hot shower, threw on her robe, and took her hair down.She was stating to herself. ' Wow! I feel so revived and alive now that I've talked to my baby.'Taesha opened her kitchen window to let in the fresh air, and listening to the birds sing added to her joy. Then, opening her closet door, she looks for something to wear.She pulled out her white linen suit. The skirt was a high waist fitted skirt that came just above the knees that had the open face gold zipper on the thigh. Next, Taesha put on her soft yellow silk tank top sheer blouse with the jacket with open g
When they had to awaken this second time during this same day, it was late afternoon. Taesha says, turning to look at one of the most handsome men on earth and his seductive smile. She mumbled to herself, "he's my husband." So many unanswered questions, but one mainly resided in a secret place in her heart.She put a big smile on her face. "So get up lazy, boy." Taesha pulls him by the arm out of bed. His hand found her waist and gently dragged her back to bed so she could lie beside him again. "Baby, we got to eat," she said, snickering."I know I got to feed my baby."It's very early in the marriage, and Taesha can see Dexter enjoys being with her, and if it wasn't love, it indeed felt like the real thing. She watching leave the bed, walking his lean muscular nude body across the room. Taesha ran approving eyes over his slim hips and muscled thighs, those powerful shoulders, "Mm...he was gloriously built," she uttered, licking her lips. Taesha couldn't remember when she was so exc
After an hour of talking, Dexter was still in complete darkness. The wine did not affect his eyes. Nevertheless, they both were heavily disappointed in the results. "I'm going to bed, Taesha," Dexter says, pulling the cover-up over his shoulders and turning his back to her in bed. Tears fell from his eyes as a mass of confused feelings entered his heart. "Baby, I'm sorry, but I never thought I had anything to do with your eyesight." "It's okay. Good night Tae." "Are you upset with me?" "No," "Then don't turn your back on me." "Taesha, I'm trying to go to sleep. Can you do the same?" "What? No! You are upset with me, and I don't like it!" "I'm not upset, but if you keep nagging me, I will be!" "Nagging you! I don't believe my ears! I'm trying to console you! I know you are disappointed that it didn't work! But don't turn your back to me as if it's my fault!" "God! won't you stop talking! I don't want to talk right now! Are your ears stopped up!" Dexter says, getting out of b
“Thanks, my love, for picking out my outfit. I can do the rest from here.”Dexter slipped on a pair of light brown skinny-leg pants with a deep royal gold thick sweater. He grabbed a lightweight gold scarf with guitar designs throughout the scarf. He brushed his hair in the direction he always did. Taesha had already sprayed his cologne on his clothes. He sat down while slipping into his shoes, grabbing his leather brown jacket and sunglasses as he left the bedroom.Once she selected his clothing, then she picked out her own. ‘So this is what it would be like with him completely blind for the rest of our lives.’ She never imagined herself being married to a man that was blind. She worried about them being an interracial couple and how others would treat them. But she never in millions of years thought she would be married to a man who couldn’t see. Taesha silently continued to pray his sight even if only what he had before with the ash gray would return. Then, she got dressed, took h
The following day, Taesha kisses her husband, stroking his handsome face while running her fingers through his dark hair. The gentle caresses of her fingers stir Dexter awake. Unfortunately, his sense of timing was off because he had stayed awake most of the night. But Dexter's heavy lids finally opened, then he closed them again, asking groggily. "Is it still nighttime, my love?" She smiles, thinking he is joking. "Baby, yesterday is officially over. I know you wish it could last on and on. But a new day has arrived. Look, Dex, the sun is shining brightly."Fear gripped his heart as he opened his eyes again, and it was pitch black! Dexter rubbed his eyes, reopening them only to be once again to be faced with darkness. Taesha sees the anguish on his handsome face. "Baby, what's wrong?" "Taesha, I can't see! I can't see anything!" "What do you mean? Are you seeing in ash gray again?" "No, I'm blind! I can't see at all!" "You have not been this way before, unable to see at all!
