That evening after work Elsie quickly went to check on George, she wanted permission to go run an errand, but we both know she wanted to go for that meeting with the blackmailer, sounds awkward and stupid but after thinking deliberately about the whole thing she decided to rise to the occasion and face her own demons, nothing was going to happen if she just sat there and expected her problems to disappear. She was going to take the bull by the horns and snatch her peace back.

"Don't stay out late, you heard the conversation at the table" George said without making eye contact, it seemed as though he was going to be there for quite some time. To some extent she pitied and wanted to help, but you can't pour from an empty cup. The only way she could help him was if she didn't have problems of her own.

"Sure, I might be able to help tomorrow"

"You worry too much about me kiddo" he raised his gaze, "Too much to an extent my own son thinks you're trying to replace him"

    The blackmailer watched on as the leaking with confidence Elsie laughed to her last teeth. She went to her pocket and retrieved a beautiful white flowery handkerchief. "Sorry" she said wiping tears of joy from her face, joy because she was like a student who got to see the test before sitting for it. Everything was going on as Tom said it would, “I have no idea what you're talking about here. If you want some money work hard for it or you can beg""I didn't come here to be insulted. You forget you're here alone" he said going to his pocket, showed her a knife and she also remembered he mentioned something about them being a team. "Ooh, yeah that's right. I'm sorry but we are both wasting each other's time here. You're accusing me of something I didn't do""Don't act smart with me. You know what? Just got an idea""I hope it helps both of us stop wasting time" "No, you know the price tag had just gone up. Now I'll be asking for half a milli. You can afford it by selling jewelry alon

    All the Woodley’s except Lewis were enjoying a glass of milk in the parlor. It was a quarter to seven a bit late but you couldn't blame any of them who didn’t have a driver like Tom that knew how to beat the busy traffic. Surprisingly even George himself came in late, they found Elsie at home already helping the kids with homework, something none of them could do. It was one big happy family, and as the banter got more interesting, Joe stole Elsie away from the crowd. It had been long since the two of them had a chat, now that she knew him well she wasn't scared of facing him. But he was afraid of what she could bring on the table despite her calmness."What do you want Joe?""I come in peace" he said rising his arms in the air, a cool smile across his face that was not fooling her. She was well aware how quick he would have made it disappear. "What a joke? Last I checked you, me and peace can't co-exist""It's time to loosen up a little bit because we have a problem"It all sounded

    Tension could be felt in the room, Tom was frozen his hand behind his back, he had changed to his home clothes. A pair of khaki shorts and grey polo T-Shirt. He had no idea what was going on although he could tell that Lewis didn't look so happy. For a number of reasons really but one loud one was his presence there. Yet he was no stranger to Lewis, he knew how to handle him at all times."Should I come some other time?" Tom finally found the long-awaited coordination between his brain and his tongue. "What's going on here?" Lewis asked the most awkward but much expected question, neither Elsie nor Tom was surprised that he did ask that. And yeah, they knew what he was insinuating by such. His allegation would have held some water were it not for the fact that he was seeing her best friend."Nothing, don't make a big deal out of this. Tom is here to see me""See you? And you have the nerve to say he is here to see you and I'm the one who's supposed to leave!" His voice was high pitch

    Cub scorpion was not as fun as he expected it to be. After gobbling a couple of beers and having a cheap meaningless banter with his friend jimmy Frank asked Wade to leave. Him on the other hand was having fun despite the boring emotionless modern music blaring the speakers but since Frank was his boss wade had no option but to cut short his fun and drive them home. The city was lighting up in different neon and argon lights making it look shiny like a distant galaxy. Hundreds of cars hooting and going in different directions. Frank had his mind roaming far and wide but one particular thing was eating him up. How to tell Elsie that he wanted her for himself with no apologies. Like just walk up straight to her and let his lips and the warmth of his mouth do the talking. Then after the kiss hold her hand and let his heart melt as the words leave his mouth. Wade was thinking perhaps he wasn’t feeling okay or that conversation with his dad didn't go so well. Either way it was within his

    The Woodley’s were ready for work after a healthy delicious breakfast. All of them except Lewis who was both horny and angry having yet spent another night “all on his own” tossing on his massive bed. Being a lady’s man, he had vowed to never wank again...yeah again because he had wanked most of his life while trying to avoid women and focus on his goals especially in college where he was broke. But then he had money and could sleep with anyone he wanted. To him the society was to blame, the same society that had busy taught girls that a man was worthless without money wanted them to remain loyal after they finally managed to have a few coins to their name. Anyway, he could also not order for a hooker, one because it was going to be disrespectful to his dignity and that of the family and also, he couldn't tell who wanted to harm him or those that claimed to be related to him and two, now this one he should have seen it coming. He couldn't leave the compound late at night, his father'

    That day even the students could tell their instructor was having the best if not one of the best days of his life. The training was fun, no yelling and those deep personal speeches he used in them to remind them of why God gave them the gift of dancing and how they needed to use it to the maximum, his moves were flowless and perhaps he didn't realize this but they only practiced on love songs. It was evident the great Frank Tazz had his heart stolen by a sexy damsel because they knew he couldn't have settled for less.And all that begged one question, who one earth was she? They were however not in a hurry to know because he was going to tell them. Human beings are social creatures and most of the time we can't resist the urge to share the good things that are happening to us...that's why social media is full of happy pictures of people on vacations and trips abroad and rarely those that depict suffering or lack of enough."Am leaving early today.

    Yellow golden rays of the sun penetrated through the sheath of the alternating black and blue silk curtains, the melodies from birds outside and the fresh air hitting her nostrils woke up Elsie that morning. She slowly opened her eyes, lying on a king sized bed in the lonely fetus position with her elbows bracing her knee caps, under the white sheets with a net stand above it. Her husband was sound asleep behind her back. Between them a barrier of pillows. She exhaled lazily. Twenty three years of age and she was already stressed out, visible by the wrinkles and acne on her beautiful face, swelling under her eyelids. The Berlin wall of pillows was not always there. There was a time when the two slept cuddling each other. That was before he proposed and she agreed to move in with him. She sat up to have a good look at him. Lewis Woodley was looking handsome as usual, then there was that uncontrollable urge to touch him. Her hand moved but she froze not sure whether it was a good idea

    It was another fine Monday morning at the Woodley manor. Everyone was awake and active the children were preparing for school and the adults for work. Despite the small altercation with Lewis the Weekend had been great and it was not going to affect the vigor with which they were going to approach their various duties. Feeling left out was Lewis because whilst everyone was busy getting ready for work he was still in his pajamas looking on, he also felt jealous but again he had no one to blame except himself...not exactly what he thought. He blamed all of them. Anyway, on his way out to swim and sunbath the whole day, sleep was also on his schedule, he found Joe trying to help Andy get it together. Hilarious to him."You got this babe, this is just like any other office you've held. I can go with you if you like""No, I'll be good. They'll think am hiding behind you""Then tell me how I can help""You already believe in me, right? That's all I needed to hear""Go
