"You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth."
William W. Purkey
I'm now standing in front of the waterfall with a blue neon lighting, illuminating the waterfall and making it a beautiful sight.
I feel a pair of strong arms around me and I almost pull away before I hear Rogue's voice from behind, "I wanted it simple but far from cheap."
I smile and glance up at him, "Mission accomplished Rogue, this is the simplest and yet luxurious place I've ever been to."
He leans down and takes my lips between his, "I'm glad you like it?" he says before moving me along with him into the restaurant.
As soon as we walk in, a tall, dark, probably mid-twenties waitress walks up to us and directs up to the reserved part of the restaurant which is an open air space in which the night sky is on full display
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."Marilyn MonroeThe elevator door opens to our floor and we step out of it, my hands tightly holding onto Rogue's arm and keeping step with him. He hasn't told me what he plans to do when we reach the room and we were busy fondling and playing with each other to even properly talk about it and now I think that that was not a good idea. I don't want to be the one asking and I feel he should tell me himself because the whole purpose of literally everything he's done today is to make me trust him more and maybe, just maybe I can do a little more of that."Your room or mine?" he asks as we get close to our doors."My room," I an
"It doesn’t matter if the guy is perfect or the girl is perfect, as long as they are perfect for each other."Sean (Good Will Hunting)The rest of our stay at Kano was as peaceful as it could have been, we were able to see the foundation of the school, the hospitals and the shelter being laid and assign the work over to the contractors before leaving, Mr Adewale, however, is expected to come and visit the site from time to time and see the progression as well as bring the Board Of Directors of my company feedback.Rogue and I are back to the way we used to be and I am now treating him as a business partner and every other former acquaintance and he has asked why I suddenly changed the way I was with him but I told him that what happened in Kano should stay in Kano and since we were no longer in Kano anymore there was no point in acting like we d
"Passion has overthrown tyrants and freed prisoners and slaves. Passion has brought justice where there was savagery. Passion has created freedom where there was nothing but fear. Passion has helped souls rise from the ashes of their horrible lives and build something better, stronger, more beautiful."AnonymousAfter arriving at the airport, Zander was already waiting to pick me up because when I called and told him about my arrival today, he said he would be the one to pick me up and not my driver who was initially supposed to.I was also very excited to see him standing outside in his purple sweater and skinny black jean trouser. His hair all loose and bouncing and there are beards on his face which surprised me. Nevertheless, I couldn't be too surprised I hadn't done a video call with him for almost a week now so I didn't know how he looked all the while we only talked. I walked up to him and threw my hands around his neck and I hugged him
"I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be."From My Uncle OswaldThe next month passed by with me hearing nothing from Rogue. He stopped calling after he congratulated me which lead me to admit that Zander was right; that Rogue was only calling to congratulate me. It was hard to admit it, painful even but I had to. Along with the fact that he has also moved on, but not back to his old playboy ways. I know this because I watch the entertainment news and his name has been extinct on there and I'm not stalking him either. Not like I expected anything much
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”~DumbledoreI'm barely awake when my door opens and Zander walks into my room and I begin to pull myself up to sit on the bed, he's wearing a black jacket on top of his white polo shirt and a black skinny jean that perfectly displays his long thinks legs."Rise and shine beautiful.""What do you want Zander?" I groan out grumpily, not in the mood to be making merry about the new day. It's Saturday and usually Saturday are meant for sleep in and being lazy especially if you're were in my shoes last night.After our rendezvous last night at the club, Havana and Zander were too drunk to drive and I was too exhausted to so Rogue offered to take us home, I wasn't surprised that he knew where I lived, I was surprised that he
"I love you. I love you desperately, violently, tenderly, completely. I want you in ways that I know you would find shocking. My love, you don't belong with a man like me. In the past, I've done things you wouldn't approve of, and I've done them ten times over. I have led a life of immoderate sin. As it turns out, I'm just as immoderate in love"AnonymousAll through the ride to Julian's home, we stayed silent and the only noise around us was from the music Darey's Love The Way You Are and then off to a bit of imagine dragons playing until we get to our destination, Julian's penthouse.Once at the gate, I wind down my mirror and stretch my hand out and press the notification button on the wall, and I can feel Rogue's heavy presence as well as eyes on me.Julian face appears on the small screen atta
"If only I could visit you as a foreigner goes into a new country, learn the language of you, wander past all borders into every private and secret place, I would stay forever. I would become a citizen of you."UnknownI follow him outside to Rogue who is looking at his wristwatch impatiently and tapping his feet to the ground restlessly. His eyes seem off and dull but light up immediately they see me coming. He stands up straight from the car and takes a step towards me."Are we going now?" He eagerly asks deeply looking into my eyes as though seeking answers.Julian barks out mocking laughter and I glare at him, making him back away from us to the door. "Julian asked us to stay for dinner.""Yes bro, I didn't think Alex was bringing anyone so I made for more than a one person's dish and I can't eat it all, you two should join." I t
"I want to kiss every soft place of you, make you blush and faint, pleasure you until you weep, and dry every tear with my lips. If you only knew how I crave the taste of you. I want to take you in my hands and mouth and feast on you. I want to drink wine and honey from you."Anonymous~I pick a bowl of homemade ice cream from the freezer for myself and Rogue and go to join him on the couch as we resume watching the dancing with the stars on TV, I got to realise that though a bit muscular, Rogue knows how's to move his body to good music and also has been a fan of the dancing with the stars since he can remember. Most nights we spend watching the streams of past dances and although I wasn't into it at first, I ended up developing a love for it and I'd lay on his chest and watch the dance and share a lot of happy moment with h
"Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation."~Samuel RichardsonThree weeks later"How much longer do I have to sit still?" Alex asks impatiently as Martha and George try to get her hair into a perfect curl as if that was even possible. Her hair is curly there's no such thing as perfect curl, at least not for her hair. She remembers, Sarah, her mom constantly having to battle with her hair every day of school when she was younger. It was painful almost every time she touched it, but she had to endure it if she wanted to look neat and pretty for school. As she got older the curls lessened and the pain she usually felt as a child left— or maybe she just got used to it.Her hair has never been the soft and perfect looking one, it was tou
"The pleasure of love is in loving; we are happier in the passion we feel than in the passion we inspire."~François de la RochefoucauldShe feels his touch over her lower lips down, her neck and further down her chest and his fingers find her nipples, delicately strumming it, making her moan and arches her pelvis up, silently telling him where her needs for him is much, but he pushes her back down on the bed and continues his torture on her nipple and she moans out.He watches as her lips part and her tongue lifts between them as she moans out and he knows she's loving being touched, he didn't want to ask anything, he wanted her to communicate to him what she was feeling like he had instructed her earlier.He moves to the other nipple and he stro
"When a woman submits to a man, it's the most precious gift she can give. Herself. Unreservedly. The man has to respect and honor that gift above all else. Even if he respects nothing else in the world, he must respect the woman in his care. It's his sworn duty to protect, honor and cherish his submissive. To take care of her and provide a safe haven. Someone who would put his own needs above his woman's is no man."~Maya BanksThey step towards their bed and Rogue tilts her head up and snakes his tongue into her delicious mouth, tasting the vanilla flavour of the ice cream she had before they left the restaurant and that mixed with the taste of her mouth drives him insane. He pushes her against the close by window and he takes his time to worship his mouth with his lips as well as her face.
"I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me." ~Tallulah Bankhead"Do you miss our scenes?" Rogue suddenly asks midway into their meal and Alex almosts chokes on the food in her mouth as a result of how blunt and unexpected his approach was."Rogue...""I'm sorry if this is taking you by surprise, one of the things about BDSM is talking and I want to know what your opinion is on us resuming our scenes after so long.""Can we have this talk later?" She asks with awkwardness voice and her eyes don't lie.He looks around left and right, "No, there is nothing wrong with talking about it now, no one i
"A marriage is a like a house. When a light bulb goes out, you do not go and buy a new house, you fix the light bulb."~Happy Wives ClubThird POVA week laterAlex is at the balcony staring at the stars when she hears the door closing and she turns around and sees Rogue step into the bedroom, he's been out working late again and though she has nothing against him, the fact that tomorrow is the day they both go shopping for what they will need for their wedding makes her think that he may be too tired for it.
“There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.”~Eckhart TolleWe enter into the building and as we approach the guard, wearing a black trouser and white short sleeve shirt with a badge he gets up and walks over to us,"Buenos dias (Good morning,)" he greets."Buenos dias (Good morning,)" we respond in unison."Estas buscando a alguien? (Are you looking for someone?)""Si, estoy aquí para ver al director de la prisión, señor Edwardo Fernanda. Dile que Rayyan Martin está aquí para verlo (Yes, I'm here to see the warden of the prison, Mr Edwardo Fernanda. Tell him Rayyan Martin is here to see him.)" I reply and he nods and goes away.I've not used the name R
"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward."~Steve MaraboliFlashback"I want to go home, I want my mommy! I don't want to be here anymore!" I cried out as Lorenzo got up from beside my bed to put on his clothes. My whole body was dead from what he just did to me and I could barely even move it. I was numb and aching and I could only speak and that was what I did. Tears rolled down my face and go into my ears."I told you before, your mommy left you and she's not coming back because she doesn't want you, no one wants you. Are you happy hearing that?" Lorenzo sneered wickedly."You're lying, you're a liar, you always have been! I don't believe a word you say!" I refused to believe
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross"Why are you up?" The sleepy voice of Alex calls out from across the room and I turn away from looking at the stars to see her scrunched up but beautiful face. "Come back to bed!" She calls out to me, raising her hand but it drops immediately from weakness and she lay back down in bed.I find myself smiling and I make my way over to the bed and I sit down beside her. "Why are you still up?" She asks with her level of concern high. "You can't sleep?" She adds."Yes, I couldn't sleep, gatita, but I'll be fine," I confessed to her and take her hand in mine."You won't be fine, sleep is important and without it,
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths."~Elisabeth Kübler-RossFlashbackThree months after meeting Lucas.The door opened and Lucas and I stepped into the hotel room, the trial just ended and I was found not guilty by the judge on the count of first-degree murder of my foster mother Audrey and after the verdict was made, Lucas offered to take me in as my guardian and when the court saw I didn't object they let me go with him. He informed me about the legal process of becoming my guardian and it involves papers works and most importantly my consent. I didn't have so much option or choice in the situation.Lucas
