You never forget the moment you experience something for the first time. In a way it plays a part in constructing aspects that become who you are. It can oftentimes determine what your life would be. I will never forget the first book I read, the first poem I wrote, the first time I left home alone nor the first time I felt the baby kick. No doubt there are more firsts waiting on some bridge for me to cross. It was only a matter of time before I would come across some firsts that would haunt me. By the time Lucien left I had already gone off to bed too tired to hear any more of the discussion. I was stuck in a euphoric state after Nicky told me he loved me but before I could say it back he scurried off. The next day had started off on a normal note. With us having breakfast together but unlike most days where he'd disappear for the rest of the day only to reappear out of thin air for dinner we had an appointment. It was exciting going to see the many features our child had acquired

All it took was the sound of clatter to ring throughout the air to disrupt my sleep. There has been so much I've seen that has lodged into my mind unable to be deleted or blocked. Sitting upright in the bed rubbing my eyes perplexed by what I heard I looked to the side to find a cold, empty space greeting me. After spending my part of the day with Aunt Elle I had tried to remain calm when he hadn't returned. As if sensing the concern he called assuring me that he was fine and that he would be home soon which at first had been sufficient enough but I wasn't so sure anymore. Staring at the clock on the bedside table, it was nearing four in the morning. When I heard another crash to the ground followed by a string of curses that flew out of the person's mouth I bolted out of bed once realization dawned upon me at who it could be. Throwing on a robe I did all I could to ignore the eerie feeling. I walked briskly across the room or at least as quick as my body would allow me to towards t

It all seemed to pass by in a blur. The days blended into one continuous foggy cloud I desperately sought a break from. Though no one wanted to bluntly say it there was tension brewing amongst the individuals whom we had to smile at. Nicky had been in another planet dealing with Damian and Lucien. With the truth out the call to bring the culprits to justice was high but what I didn't anticipate was how it came in the shape and form of me having a front row seat to it... The day began like any other with Fall upon us the weather was a lot more welcoming. I would have probably spent another day working with the team on the publishing process or spent the day with the ladies if it weren't for the fact Marcie was returning home. Considering I was about seven months along it was exciting having her back at a time when she would not only get back on track but be able to meet the baby. It was sweet watching Aunt Elle move around baking some treats for her child to munch on when she came ba

New York, how much you've shown to me will remain with me for as long as I live. You've proven to be an experienced lover whose only task it seems is to hurt yet keep us wanting more. With your bright lights your siren song lures travelers from afar with the promise to allow our imaginations to know no limit. You allowed us be greedy in your land filled with milk and honey. Yet there's a side to you, a side where you leave your lovers tossed out and spent on the streets with running mascara and a broken heel.

Posed with the question of what fuels most to be the way they are, Sonny remained routed in his spot silent. He looked away breaking the intense stare off only to blow out a harsh breath out of a stubborn side he's always had to not answer and instead said, "Shoot me." I had tried my best to just watch and be a spectator but even that wasn't enough. Something burst inside me when I saw Nicky's finger twitch against the trigger. Stepping out of the vehicle all eyes shifted onto me in confusion. The alarm flashed across Nicky's face before a frown emerged, "Go back in the car, Aaliyah," I froze in my pursuit to move towards him at the use of my full name coming out of his lips. It was one of the rare occasions he had ever used it but I quickly recovered my composure and replied, "And watch you kill him. No." "Just liste –" "No you listen!" I interjected widening my stance to stand my ground," Killing him won't fix anything." "She's right," Joseph replied stepping closer towards Nic

Death, on its own holds a daunting aspect that is inescapable for all humanity. We've tried to fight it off in any way such as through improving medicine, whereas others have given up the fight and have chosen to seek comfort in the afterlife.

How exactly can I put into words the cruel mistress that is life? Maybe if I tried to draw a picture and placed it on a paper for you, you'd grasp it but I really can't. I don't know if I ever would be able to when the constant bombs thrown are bound to destroy our world. Nicholas had given me the opportunity to walk away before but I had chosen to remain through thick and thin because that was what love involved. It wasn't always this beautiful thing, it could be messy, frustrating and bound to tempt you to pull your hair out. On the night of the meeting, it was nearing ten in the evening. For most of the time Nicky and I spent together on that dreadful day I struggled to relax. It didn't help that he was spending hours on end on the phone talking lowly in the corner or excused himself to go to another room to ensure I didn't hear. Nothing would stop me from getting worried. The child had been kicking a lot more than usual as if it could sense something was coming. The only thing

I came to realize no matter how many parenting books you read or videos you watch all that training nearly flies out the window when the child is about to arrive. The arrival came at what I could only describe as the worst possible time. I was panicking at the fact my amniotic sac had made a home for itself on the bed covers. Eva helped put on sweatpants and shoes. With her running around I truly wished the child had waited until the due date which was in two months instead of coming at a time where we were both losing our minds over Nicky. But as much as I did not want to stop worrying I had to focus on the fact my child needed me. Once Eva grabbed the hospital bag Nicky and I had prepared in case anything should happen, we bolted for the door. Marcie who had been in the living room with her father jumped to their feet once they were alerted of my predicament. With everyone yelling and looking alarmed I was trying to take deep calming breaths because I was the type of person who fe
