James 1:19-20

"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. We are warned again in James to be slow to anger."

Lately I've been very fast to anger. With the whole marriage thing I've found myself neglecting some of the teachings I gathered as a Christian. I always tell myself that I should learn to accept God's will and I don't know if this is His will or not but I've been rejecting it, because of my own reasons. I might be married to Blake but I'm not in love with him and this doesn't mean I have to fall in love with him. It's just a minor setback that will be resolved tomorrow.

Closing my bible, I take a deep breath and I do feel like I'm ready to confront Blake. And no, I am not angry...confrontation does not mean quick to anger, or maybe it does but not with me right now.

Immediately, the front door opens and I sprint out of my bedroom and into the hallway.

  • Legally His   Chapter 66- Court Day

    I realised that yesterday I had zero self-control and I am aiming for that never to happen again. It was my second night in that house and that probably aroused some feelings that I could not ignore. It is all in the past and I have every intention of letting it stay there.Now back to the present, it's been thirty minutes since we've arrived into the courtroom and Mr Jeffrey is currently being the one addressed."Are you being honest that Mr and Mrs Parker-," my body instantly cringes at the last name I am now to bear, "did not have any knowledge about your suspension?""Yes, because of my decline in income I decided to receive the money from Mr Parker without him knowing about my suspension.""Alright. Thank you for your honesty Mr Jeffrey but the matter will be further investigated. With that being said Mrs Aria and Mr Blake, you both are still married to one another-"I turn to look at my mother and Bianca, my hands gripping tightly on my chair, their eyes share more than sympathy.

    It is finally “family” dinner time and I must say, the silence in the room has formed a huge haze. Bianca and mother keep on looking at one another then me, while the same keeps on happening between Blake and Tom. Father is only looking at Blake with admiration, he is probably thanking God for giving him such a son-in-law. Mirella, Brian and Thompson went to sleep, gracefully- this dinner would not have been to their liking.The air is cleared up by father when he starts speaking, "so, where will the two of you be staying?""Here." "My house." Blake and I say at the same time, respectfully so."I don't think moving is a great idea." My attention moves to Blake."If Mirella will be changing to the new school it's better if we live here." "I disagre-""But Aria, moving here will be a great idea! We miss you at work and you will be very much closest to me, you know how much I need the help." Bianca throws me a pleading look."And you need to start listening to your husband, that way you

    It is when sun rays invaded my room and with love, hit my skin that I realised how long I have been stuck staring at the ceiling. Blake's words had kept me awake all night. The words rang in my head from the moment I kissed Mirella goodbye as she left with Bianca and her family. That little girl is too excited about her new school with Thompson that she wanted to leave with them, I obviously could have said no but I trust Bianca and how could I have said no to that cute smile and eyes of hers. Those that remind me of her father. Standing up from my “sleeping” position, my hands run in my hair as once again his words occupy my space. For years I've prayed for such, a man willing to pray with his family. And God gave me that man in Blake but we separated, so it mattered but not as much. And now that we're here again...this is awakening something extremely strong. But I can't fall, I won't let myself.I kneel on the bed and put my hands together for a short personal prayer, " Lord, I tha

That is not good because I have to get my sign, how will I live happily if I don't know where I stan-"There you are!" Blake sneaks up on me, scaring half the daylight out of me."Would you please announce in a nicer way that you're entering the kitchen?" I pour milk in my cereal."Yeah yeah yeah...so did you have fun? Although I have to admit that I did not expect my first strip tease viewer to leave the call immediately and rudely so." He bites into the apple, his eyes bearing fruit to the mockery in his words."Well, I was not impressed." I open the cutlery cupboard shelve, looking for my favourite spoon."Oh rea

    The engine shuts down when we get to my house. I really cannot believe that I won't be waking up everyday in this house. It knows a lot of things than the closest people around me because they all happened through its lens. It shares the memories of Mirella's first walk, her first words, our bonding time, the heartbreaking nights for me and also, the things I wished to forget. Whenever it gets suffocating with Blake, I will drive back here and spend time with my house."Ms Aria!" The voice I will not be missing stops me on my tracks."Kimberly, how are you?" Almost everyone has neighbourhood teenagers that are full of disrespect and are always searching for drama in elder's business. Kimberly is unfortunately one of those teenagers."I'm great...you look stunning today." She smiles at me, for the first time."Thank you, is there anything you want? I have a lot of work to do today.""Really, like what?" "Uhm, like moving out." I point at the delivery truck just next to me."Oh, I am s

    "Mommy!" Mirella hugs my legs once I open the front door and walk in."Hey baby, how was your day? I want to hear everything about it." I pick her up and allow my nose to lead me to the aroma of deliciousness. "Hey Blake.""Oh, she can actually talk." Blake says, sprinkling the spices onto the meat."Daddy behave!" Mirella slips out of my hold and runs next to her dad. "Thank you." I wash my hands, "did everything arrive?""Yep, we can double check after supper.""I think I'll manage on my own." I maintain eye contact with him for a split second before looking away first. "You were about to tell me about your day.""Right! Thompson showed me my classes when we got to school. Then when they started, I was afraid until I remembered that I am not alone and that God is with me. So, I went in with confidence and made a friend! I honestly had a great time and the teachers were nice.""Tell her about your lunch break." "Shhhh." Mirella hits Blake's arm."What happened during lunch?""I-I ha

    The only sound audible in the room is of my nails tapping on the dinner table. The quietness just makes me even more anxious as the seat opposite mine remains unoccupied. I actually believed I would be laughing by now or be swept off my feet.But that is not the case which is why I am still lighting up my phone screen for the tenth time hoping to see something different. Yet once again, my heart drops as the time reads;20:15Fifteen minutes after the time Blake set, there still is no sign of him. There is not even one single text, not to talk about a call. If there were people in the room all they would see is a pretty lady dressed in a sophisticated black dress seated awkwardly in her chair, continuously staring at her phone for a sign. Maybe he will walk in any minute, it's human nature to be late20:45"Would you like to order anything Mrs?” The waiter asks me for the second time ever since my arrival."Uhm do you have juice?""No, we don't serve that here.""Okay...how about nona

  • Legally His   Chapter 77- Being honest

    "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

    I just wanna sleepppppp!I just wanna sleepppppp!I just wanna sleepppppp!Last night this time… mhm, I was honestly busy with Blake. The entire night and the fact that it is all different tonight is a bummer. I need the sweet kisses all over my face, sweet kisses all over my body but instead I am in my room all alone, struggling to still walk.My phone starts ringing and my heart jumps in joy hoping to see Blake’s caller ID but once the phone is in my hands, my smile drops. “Hello?”"Hey, is this Aria?" 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. My feet touch th

Let your Holy Spirit keep us safe, and may our hearts be open to your word all the time. Amen." "Amen." I say, before opening my eyes.Blake and I look at each other for a split second before I speak, “goodnight." "Goodnight gorgeous." He kisses my forehead, exiting my room.After Blake left me at the dance floor, I decided to make business too. Apparently, Bianca's company is well known so it was a smooth sailing. I'm really proud of my friend, she has done exceptionally good for herself. And also the employees have played a huge part. One thing I love mostly is how she couldn't believe it when I told her over the phone. Lady should start believing in herself and her company.However, getting back to the Blake situation...I'm sexually frustrated. I'm pretty sure people could smell the sexual tension in the air while we were dancing

    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. But the blue dress is amazing! The tiny beads are making me shine brighter that the disco lights. I face Blake and dah dah dah!!!! Our noses are touching. A second chance to another kissing moment, I am high on the clouds up for it. His fingers run down the line on my back, and I take penguin steps towards him then he lowers his head and,“Feels like we're on the edge right nowI wish that I could say I'm proudI'm sorry that I let you downI let you down-
