"Mirella Johnson Parker!" The principal calls out my daughter's name and I clap my hands in happiness as I see my joy walk up the stairs towards the teacher.

Today marks the happiest day of my life, my daughter's graduation. And no, not her high school nor university graduation, it's actually her kindergarten graduation. One might think it's not that important but for me it is. Seeing your child achieve something no matter how small is not only the best feeling ever but it’s incredible! And I will not trade this moment for anything. In fact, nothing can ruin this mome-

"Look at our precious daughter go." Blake whispers into my ear, eyes not moving from her, "she looks just like you." His brown eyes shift from her and bore into my soul.

When I signed the divorce papers five years ago I thought my journey with Blake ended there. Boy was I wrong. For me to no longer be Mrs Parker, the process took nearly two whole years. Within those years I had people questioning my decision till the po

    We are in the second month of a new year and Mirella had already started elementary school which is nice. And not only that but I have resumed taking photographs and uploading them on the internet. I get money from them and I am proud to say that business is good. I really cannot complain except for the fact that I've not laid my eyes on Jack in these two months. To say I miss our little encounter will be an understatement but I have to move on. Which is why I'm on a dating site and hoping to meet the one. Bianca and mom are the ones that introduced me to these dating sites even after the tantrums I did."You can't keep on denying everyone!" Bianca screams, her hands in the air in frustration."Well I can't accept everyone!" I scream back and move from my laptop which is sitting on the kitchen's table. "I just haven't found the person I see worthy of going on a date with." "You're talking as if you're going to date the guy on the spot. Aria, you haven't kissed anyone for close to fi

    Today, the sun is extremely happy. It's burning out here and there is zero signs of clouds. How I wish right now I was extremely happy. Today I have to ask Blake to take Mirella to his house for three nights, starting tonight. And I am no fool but I do know how this might end, bad. He is obviously going to ask me why because I had previously asked to have Mirella the whole week and now I have to tell him otherwise. Mother and Bianca said that I do not know the benefits of a divorce- keeping my love and personal life to myself. Which is true because somehow, someway my personal life is Blake's personal life."As always be good at school, mommy loves you." I fix Mirella's school skirt and kiss her forehead. "Now go to the living room and watch tv for a little bit, mommy has to talk to daddy.""But my favorite Dj is playing and I want to listen to her in the car!" Mirella looks at me with pleading eyes, one thing I cannot turn down but Blake can, so I look at him for help.He sighs and

    "He did what!?" Bianca screams over the phone causing me to hold mine away from my ear."You heard right." I place the phone back to my ear and pick the right fruits to purchase at the store. "And Mirella just had to make things worse for me.""Well, what Blake did was kinda hot.""Really Bianca? After all that I told you the first thing you say is that what he did was hot...I need a new friend." "No you don't, I am here to give you good advice. Remember that Blake is hot, so almost everything he does is hot!""We are talking about an ex I am over-" I stop in my tracks and think my statement through, "an ex I am 75% over." "I think you're not 75% over him.""100% over him? Got it, I do need you in my life." I smile as Bianca sighs and mutters a lot of nonsense."Are you ready for your date?" She asks, changing our topic- which I'm grateful for."Yes, I am.""Do you know what you're going to wear?""Yes I do. I am thinking my white dress which reaches my knees and is-""Strapless. Ye

That is so cool but stay away from anything that is hot or sharp. Got it?""Yep, where are you?""I am on a date but don't tell daddy.""Why?" She tries to raise her eyebrow which is cute."Because it is a surprise and daddy doesn't like surprises. Now please ask him if you could sleep there tonight.""Okay," Mirella nods her head and turns around, "daddy! Mommy said that I sho-""No! Mirella look at me." I cut her mid sentence, my face already red. "Ask him as if it's your idea. He will agree if you are the one that asks him saying that you want to sleep over. Can you do that?""Yes.""Good girl and remember, this is a top top secret mission. I love you.""I love you too." She kisses the laptop screen and I kiss my phone screen."Well, aren't you deceiving."

    Standing in my living room shirtless is Blake with a towel wrapped around him. My mouth opens like a fish out of water needing the droplets of water descending from his neck down to his chest. My eyes move with one drop as it reaches the towel and my lips run dry. I involuntarily take in his toned body and the well developed abs. His v-line is wow, very appealing to the eyes."Take a picture, it lasts longer." Blake smiles at me as I continue to stare in disbelief on how a half naked man can still be this hot."W-what are y-you...why are you naked in my living room!" I cover my eyes after I had taken in everything, Dumb? I know! That doesn't stop me from doing it."I can take off my towel and show you naked." Blake's voice turns seductive and teasing.My hands fall off my eyes and behold I witness his hands playing with his towel as if he is about to let it fall to the ground. Acting impulsively I run to him and hold tight to his towel. "Gotcha." Blake whispers into my ear and softly

    I am thirty minutes late to pick up Mirella and surprisingly parents are still here. Don't get me wrong, not so many parents fetch their children early but there is like almost every mother here and mostly from Mirella's class."Is everything alright?" I enter the class and when the teacher's eyes fall on me her face falls."Oh, Aria. Are you the one fetching Mirella today?""Yes and for the whole week, Mirella's father is out of town." I smile at her but I get an opposite response from her than I expected."Well, that is a bummer. Ladies! Blake isn't coming, I guess you might as well go." She goes back to her table while most ladies in the room groan and leave."That was...weird." I take Mirella's hand and walk out, "how are you darling?""Good! We learned a lot of things but I miss daddy.""I'm sure he misses you too, like everyone." I say the last part lowly when thinking about what just happened."Aria?" Jack voice calls behind me.Smiling, I turn around and my heart skips a beat.

    "Growing up, I did not feel good looking. No matter how much I had tried to compliment myself, my insecurities got me to my knees. People always reassured me that I was handsome but I did not see what they so saw so I did not bother to date anyone. I was not willing to make another human being suffer. I wanted to fix myself up and become close to this hot thing I am today. I was eighteen when I was let out of the shell and became exposed to the public eye. People were crazy over me and I was all over magazines being called handsome. My good looks made people believe I was a heartthrob not knowing I was a virgin at that time. But the attention made me feel like I was ready to give relationships a try. “I did not know how hard it will be because of my brother. All of my serious relationships went downhill because of Steven. Relationship in and out I will find him in bed with my girlfriends," he laughs to himself as I stare with pity, "I stopped pursuing serious relationships and decided

The caller on the end of the line asks.The voice sounds a little bit familiar but I cannot wrap my fingers around it. I know without a doubt that it is not Steven so, who is it?"Yes, may I ask whom this is?” I remove the pillows on my bed, getting ready to sleep. I do not really want to beat around the bush with my current state."Mike.""Mike...Mike...oh Mike!” And it finally clicks…how does he have my numbers again, “how are you?""I'm great, I am so glad that you still remember

    I think I should not have allowed myself to be led by lust. Why? Because I am not over Blake instead I'm...I'm deeply in love with him again. It was so stupid of me to believe that I will get over him by sleeping with him after I had pointed out that when you engage in sexual acts with someone the two of you become one. I'm one again with Blake and in my case, that is not a good thing.Groaning at my stupidity I hold on tight to the duvet, looking at Blake who is peacefully sleeping. My mind trails back to when our hands intertwined during our love making, that was the end of me yesterday…it is even continuing to be the end of me now.I sure have to give it to Blake, this boy is very calculative, which I dumbly forgot about. He reminded me of things I had forgotten with just one night. The things he knew would work to his favor...why did I believe that I would fall out of love with him again?I sit up straight, wondering how I am to escape the hole I dug up for myself.

    Shopping is part of those things I love with most of my heart. Shopping with Blake...that is another story."No!" Blake says immediately when the fitting room door opens."Well, I love it." I spin around to give him the full view."A-ah. No ways." He pushes me into the fitting room, then closes the door. "Every male eye is going to be on you. Look how the dress is shaping every curve on your body. Then the back...your back is exposed!" He turns my back on the mirror and I turn to look at it.He is right, my back is on full display.

My hands become sweaty, my heart starts beating a new tone I am not familiar with as my legs wobble more than a jelly. I feel like a teenager who is about to receive her first kiss. And just like my first, my world is fired up when his lips meet mine. In just mere seconds I have been consumed into an alien feeling. One that I want to experience over and over again, without any break whatsoever.Blake slowly pulls back after the small kiss, but still remains close to me. His breath hitting my lips, making me crave more of them.I open my eyes when he drops his head on my shoulder, "w-why did you stop?" I bluntly ask, saddened by the ending of what I was loving."Because one kiss would never be enough." He whispers enough for me to hear. "Aria I want to devour your lips countless times." My arms find balance on his neck when he grips my thighs, placing me on the table. "I'm just thinking if escaping rehab is w

Whoever on the internet suggested that to fully get over someone I should write a list of the things I hate about them was totally wrong! I can't use the fact that he used to be a player because that is using his past against him. I wouldn't like it if someone used my past against and I am trying to move it.Ripping the paper from my notebook and shredding it into pieces, I sit back into my chair. It's been five days that I've not had an encounter with Blake which I'm grateful for. The only reason is because he is finalising the whole business move since we have moved back here and he is taking over the company here. The workload is a lot and he comes back very late and leaves very early. We do spend time together but it's when we pray and when he talks to Mirella and I'm surprisingly there.
