It had been several months since they celebrated their first anniversary, and they had a fabulous wedding with family and friends. For their honeymoon, though unusual, they took a trip to Hawaii with Tippa’s family, the Wilsons. They had worked hard in their business, and now they needed time away. They needed a moment to listen with their eyes closed to enjoy the sound and feel the morning sea breeze. All the family had their own private bungalows. Ross and Tippa lay cuddled, nestled, snuggled in one another's arms, surrounded by beauty and all these beautiful exotic flowers. Now that Ross has taken her away to this special place called "Pleasure Paradise," it's filled with lots of sun and sand, stars that twinkle, a moon that winks, and an ocean that makes the sounds of love! Those feelings shared by both of them brought two heartbeats together, culminating in a steamy night of romance and love! Ross lays there in bed with his eyes closed, before long he opens them and instantly
Ross found the strength to stand up first, stretching his long body. Tippa ran approving eyes over his thighs, Capital C's backside, powerful shoulders, and chest. It moved her to walk up behind him and take him in her arms around his waist. "I want you to know I love you with all my heart, soul, mind, and body." Ross turned, brushing his lips over the edge of her soft cheek and whispering in her ear, "You are my everything, and I will never forget all the wonderful memories we are making together." The next morning, everyone smiled brightly as the sun greeted them. They packed while some hummed and others whistled, expressing joy about this vacation. Everyone exits their bungalows with their luggage at the same time. The family smiled, chatting away as they walked down the boardwalk to the Pleasure Paradise resort to check out. They laughed and talked about all the fun things they experienced. Ricky talks about zipping into the mountains Julia excitedly talks about all the water
"Dear, when will you utter some words or say something?" she asked, looking at him nervously."I will say something. Can you be patient, baby? I told you I’m not much of a prayer and want to get it right. Now, let's bow our heads and give me your hand. Dear almighty one, the supreme creator and maker of life. The source of life. You have all the power in the heavens and on the earth. You know how much Tippa and I want to start a family.We love each other with all our hearts and want to give this love to our offspring, progeny. But if it's not time, give us the strength to accept that and continue to try for happiness, but most of all, don't let us lose the love and joy we have for one another. Amen." His prayer moved Tippa so much that she kissed him in the mouth. "That was touching, sweetie. You need to pray for our family more often. I’m sure God heard that prayer." "Thanks, I was nervous. My grandmother taught me to pray. She always used to tell me to talk to God from the heart
Elise looks at them and then walks into the dining room, shaking her head as she sits at the table. Tippa whispers. “How am I doing?” she asks Ross.“You are doing great, but don’t let her push you. She’s bossy, but you are the boss of this house. You got that?” “Yes, bossman, I got it. I’ll kill her with kindness.”“If that doesn’t work, put her in her place.”“So, how was the drive here?”"What did you ask?" Ross chuckles. "I asked, how was your drive to Vermont?" ****"Oh, I didn't drive myself here. I had my driver bring me to Vermont. So the trip was good. ""Mom, why didn't you fly instead of making your driver come this far only to have to turn right back around?"Well, um...that’s interesting, the way you think. Isn't that what I'm paying him to do?" "You are paying him to work, not slave for you, mother. You don't have to take advantage of your employees that way.""Okay, dinner is served," Tippa calls out from the kitchen as she brings an Elise plate to the table."List
Since the beginning of the pandemic, it was reported today on the news as Ross, Tippa, and Elise attentively observed the newscaster's words. "Today is the first day that no one is believed to have died of the disease in New York City. Now, city officials allow outdoor dining in all restaurants that were once strictly takeout. New York City beaches are reopened—great news for parents with school-age children. Elementary public school students will be returning to class for in-person learning. Visits will also resume at nursing homes. Broadway is back! The first Broadway musical will reopen. Everyone got emotional over the good news they heard. New Yorkers will still be required to wear masks in several settings, including on the subway and in taxis, but you can feel the heartbeat of New York City again."Wow! I'm so happy things are finally returning to normal," Ross says. Well, ladies, I have paperwork to do. If anyone needs me, I will be in my office."“Tippa, can I have a word wit
It was a day in September, a day that Tippa will never forget. She had been warned, and you know what they say when you don’t heed warnings: A hard head makes for a very soft and sore behind. Tippa Wilson had no idea how far her fiancé’s parents would go to stop her from marrying their son. She and her family had been threatened. They have caused Tippa to lose her job. She was offered bribes of a large sum of money to end their engagement and disappear. But she never imagined they would go even further on the wedding day. “I was surprised and happy at first when I realized it was my fiancé’s mother at my apartment door. She came unannounced, and of course, I was nervous. I wasn’t appropriately dressed for her visit. I wore jeans and a T-shirt, and my hair was a mess; I tried to quickly make myself look presentable with no success. So, I reluctantly invited her in. You could feel her air of importance. I knew I was being judged, as she hesitated to step across the door sill as if I
Tippa’s move from her home city, New Orleans, to the Big Apple was bittersweet. Having to sell her family's house, car, and furniture was all very challenging and has been difficult. It's just so much stuff her parents have accumulated in a marriage of 25 years. But eventually, everything falls into place. Tippa finally got a buyer for the house; she never imagined she would get so emotional about selling the house. It's been her only home for over 20 years. Finally, she realizes that it's no longer going to be hers in two weeks, as she sits at the table with tears in her eyes. So, she packed her bags and moved to a place where she had family. To cheer herself up, Tippa thought. “I’ve always been fascinated with the Big Apple.” But things weren't quite how she had imagined they would be. Her family was fantastic. Living with her dad's brother, her uncle and auntie, and cousins Julia and Ricky, they were very welcoming and supportive. But admittedly, it was different from where she
The young man was a breathing, walking, stunning attraction, and very real, "I sure hope I see him again," Tippa uttered snickering.But time went by, and Tippa had drawn the conclusion she would never see the guy again. People weren’t very friendly they barely spoke to one another. Outside of Ms. Lauren, she was the only nice, polite person, and you could hardly call her friendly. It was tough because people are usually drawn to Tippa’s bubbly personality and friendliness. In the two months she has been here, not one person has been friendly; they all are polite, and that’s it. Tippa thought it was the saddest thing she’d ever seen but the pay was, as Ms. Lauren had stated, very good. And in just another month Tippa will be moving to her own apartment not too far from her job. It was a Friday evening and Tippa had worked overtime preparing to leave the third floor in the building. Students were leaving the campus, it was around 6 pm. The backstory to the second encounter:It was a
