Flashback

Fred came back home and stopped a distance from his house. He was drunk and could barely stay on his feet. He felt the dots of rain that started falling from the distant black sky and immediately he spit, then cursed for nothing in particular. He staggered a little more and almost dropped his bottle of beer. He let out another diatribe of insults but almost immediately realized that he was alone in the street, then he quietly matched to the door of his house.

At that time of the night, he thought the children were fast asleep but they were still awake and cheerfully playing in their beds. Their mother was somewhere in the house and she was preparing food for her husband, their stepfather. Fred's arrival was announced by the careless manner in which he barged in. His beer was spilling all over the floor and the smell of him was stale.

He saw her in the living room. She simply tried to avoid him and this enraged him. There was a look of disgust on his face and a moment later,

    Doctor AntoinetteBeauty, divine, an emblem of virtue and purity. Now in the mid-morning, the Cafeteria lights had overemphasized her loveliness, her hair, and her skin. Doctor Antoinette. She would choose to be called something else in any other place. Without the scrub, she could make any man melt because of her beauty. The only consolation she would have at the hospital was seeing Erick, her only brother, and Laura during her lunch break hours.On the 4th of October, her friend, and nurse, Isabella had gone missing. It had been three days now. Because of it, she would have to lie as good as she breathed and pretend her day wasn't as bad as it really was. Laura and Erick were waiting in the Cafeteria and she joined them there.“You are late, again. We've been waiting forever out here.....” Laura started.“Am sorry” she said as she sat down, she laid the coffee cups on the table and slid one gently to Erick, “I truly am. It's just that I've been getting a lot of work lately. I'll mak

    Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, in some criminal facility, the innocent nurse Isabella was being held captive. There was a man who was slowly dying in a bed because of the damage from a bullet wound. He had tubes down his throat and machines connected to his lifeline.“I cannot save him, am not qualified for this. He needs a doctor, not a nurse,” she protested against the man in the room.“Just keep him alive long enough for the doctor to get here”“I don't think I can do that either. He's lost a lot of blood. It'll be a miracle if he makes it through the night.”“I've got it handled. I've already sent someone to bring the doctor,” he said. He sat down in a chair across the bed with a file in his hands.“You mean to kidnap her,“ she corrected. “Listen, sir, Selena is my friend and I wouldn't want anything to happen to her.”“No one is going to hurt her,” he told her over the rim of the file, then drew his eyes back to the contents of the file. “ Doctor Selena Antoinette Grey.

    On the highway, in the ebbing light of the evening sun, a gruesome and pitiful picture had been painted. Against the light, a car was speeding but every other thing around it seemed so peaceful. One could almost imagine a song playing, soothingly in the background as the lurid sunset animated the face of the troubled driver in the moving car. If only the car could fly when she needed it.In moments like these, the mind rebels and let‟s you picture the one you love, leaving you, no longer to be there with you. And instantly you are robbed of the memories of their smile, the way they make you happy. All the while, Selena kept crying because of the morbid thoughts that plagued her mind. If she wasn't going to get to Laura and Erick in time, then she was going to lose them forever. She tried to call again, hoping that she wasn't too late.Her wet eyes flickered to the gas meter absently only to realize that the car would stop any minute. She was out of gas and........out of options. But t

    Selena woke up and she was wise enough to remain silent. On the other side of her bed, she could feel a woman, a captive just like her, Isabella. All around the room was a dull gloom and a quietness that could echo any attempt to escape. But before she did, she wanted so badly to embrace Isabella whom she was finally reunited. She couldn't piece together how the criminals managed to kidnap her and how she fitted in all this.A creaking door bludgeoned Selena‟s gaze there. A faint light came in with the opening door and a shadow was blocking part of it, a frame of a man. His eyes had at once revealed horrible savagery in them and she found herself wondering about the evil that was going to be done to her.“Why am I here ?”“My brother is in pain. He is dying-”“You should have taken him to the hospital if you cared about him”“Doctor, my men will get you all the equipment you need to save my brother. But not here. We will go someplace safer” he said, “We need to leave before the sun co

    The women were given separate rooms, against their will. Selena‟s had a colorful view through a clear transparent window. Everything in the room was covered in white. The bedding was silky white. The pillows where she would moan over the next several hours were snow white and furry.Shades of gray blended with the onset of a storm as misty clouds lanced into view, then thicker they grew out of form. Memories of her family yet again robbed her of sleep. How long were they going to keep her here?She tossed and turned in bed. Heart hammering against her chest. This was a terrible nightmare but she was fully awake. She got out of bed because of the thunder and lightning and walked to the window. Droplets of rain clung to the glass like teardrops. From down below, her eyes suddenly caught the display of muscle cars round about the fountain of water. The cars would make any other girl strip naked, but not her and she looked away. She hurried to the door. No one had the right to keep her aw

    “What did you expect, that my past could be as good as yours?” he screamed at her.“I don't care. It's none of my business. You can sleep with anyone you want, ”“You don't get to say that. You don't know what I've been through-”“Is that supposed to justify you sleeping with a hundred women?” she snapped back. “Oh, so you do care after all?”“Am not doing this with you,” she warned in a calmer tone. “Just get out of my room or do you prefer to take away my privacy too as you have done my life?” He glowered at her. “You are going to regret this”“What more can you possibly do to ruin my life mister?” she opposed.“From what I gathered, you had a deplorable life and I just saved you from it.” “Did your little files tell you that?” she mocked with eyes of contempt.“Yes, I've got files on you and everyone else if that's what you want to hear,” he told her, “And I don't have you here by choice. My brother is dying, that's the only reason you have to save your purpose-”“Then what happ

    LIFE AT THE ESTATE *. *. *. *. *.Isabella watched from the corner of her eyes. They had both chosen this one spot for the past few days. Looking into her eyes at this moment, she could see a glimmer of peace as the evening sunlight exaggerated her face and the soothing wind brushed a few strands of hair out of fashion.“Are you alright ?” Isabella asked finally.“Yes, everything‟s fine.” It didn't matter how hard she tried to conceal it, Selena still felt estranged from this world. But she would find a little peace of mind in this timely aura of the evening light. Here she could see over the trees, into the sunset, and savor the memories of home. Beads of clouds looped through the sky in a breathtaking display and the two women, falling headlong in love with the scene, would gaze fixedly in silence.“It‟s not so bad out here”“No, it‟s not” Selena agreed, still in oneness with the aura.“I mean out here, in the estate” Selena gave her a pensive look.“I know we are being held here ag

    A heavy thud somewhere in the room woke her up. Selena could feel two strong arms pressing her down in bed. She opened her eyes and there he was, Matthew Fernandez, the first love of her life. He had a grey hood over his head, covering his face but she could never mistake that malevolent grin for anyone‟s in the whole world. His oversized hand moved up to her face and covered her mouth and nose.Gasping, she kicked her legs desperately but the bedding blocked such movement. She scratched and clawed as much as she could but he was too strong for her. As he leaned in closer to her face, a hellish fear took over her and she could do nothing but wait as his stubbed face came in contact with hers. He breathed in the smell of her before licking her temple, making her moan silently.When he pressed hard enough to block her breathing completely, she woke up frantically in bed. A nightmare. She could feel sweat dripping from her cheek. Why did she dream of him, now, at such a late hour of the

    It was dark outside and cold, to say the least. A few cars would pass him by time and again. The only safe place he could go to was a couple of miles away. Now that his cover was blown, he needed to be careful.Beams of bright light cleared the road from behind him. At this time of the night, he was the only one walking. The car behind him slowed down until stopping right in front of him. An unfamiliar vehicle. The window rolled down and there she was again.“For a guy who’s a criminal, you’re not very hard to find”He leaned in through the window, catching a better look at the Detective. “Maybe I wanted to be found by you.”“ Why would you want me to find you Maximus ?” “You’re the only one I know here”A few more cars passed them by as they stood there.“This place is dangerous” she reminded. “Do you have a place to stay ?”“Yes, my warehouse is a few minutes walk from here”“Well, I certainly cannot let you walk there. And I can’t let you sleep in a warehouse either. I have to keep

    A few more hours went by. It had stopped raining and the curtains dangled and swayed gently from the cold wind making its way through the window.Selena was resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeats. He would run his hand down her bare back gently and picture something more than this passing moment. He could feel the warmth of her whole body on him and he relished this feeling.“Can I ask you a question?” she began quietly. ”Go ahead”“Promise you won’t get mad”“I already don’t like where this is going” he confessed.She pushed up to look at him directly. “I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important, please........” “Okay, fine, you can ask”She breathed. “Where is your brother? I am only asking because I know he has also been through a lot”He took his time to say, “My brother left the country a few days ago. He promised to never come back”She cringed inside. Space and time were not what the brothers needed right now. Being apart was just going to break them further from each o

    Steady footsteps echoed outside the door. The sound of imminent danger was almost muffled by the falling rain. A spear of lightning lit the sky and a shadow from the front door crept in uninvited.Don slunk out of the sheets with his gun drawn. His eyes were a bit sore from a heavy sleep. It was now four in the morning. Heart pounding in his chest, he reached for the door, swung it hard, and almost opened fire on........Selena! His hands jerked back to hide the gun. He took in the rest of her wet and trembling body, accompanied by the fear of nearly being shot at.“Selena?”“Am sorry, I didn’t mean to come unannounced, but I figured you wouldn’t have met me had I asked....”“What are you doing here, especially this time of the night ?” “I wanted to-”“No, actually, don’t mind that. How did you find me”“I’ve spent a month with the most elusive crime lord in all of Colombia, don’t you think I know a few tricks by now?”He immediately pulled her inside, “Come on in, and I'm sure it's Du

    DANDELIONS*. *. *. *. *“Hi Laura, it’s me, Selena.” She could hear her voice bouncing back from the walls on the other end of the line. There was heavy breathing on the phone.“Selena?” the wavering voice broke through. “Is that you ?” “Yes Lu, it’s me” she answered, holding back the tears.“But...........how.........I thought you were......dead” She breathed, now crying. “Let’s not do this over the phone. Meet me at the play Park in one hour. Bring Erick with you.”“Uuuum, okay.........we will be there” she promised, still in shock.The Play Park was a large green field of irregular plains. A dozen deliberate trees held a few spots to offer to relieve shelter to the couples that flocked here from the library across the street. The state museum stood eastward, overlooking the lucent lawn and satiating atmosphere.Selena came here as quickly as she could, and stood anxiously for a moment in the open as she searched for them.It had been so long since she saw Erick and Laura, her fami

    “I love you” she began“Don’t .......please don’t. Not now”“I need to tell you this. You have to believe me”He only pushed passed her and walked to the front door.“This is all my fault” she moaned, catching his attention with the desperate attempt. “I know that all this is happening because of me.”He didn’t stop at the sound of her voice. He eventually exited the room but she quickly followed him and again she said, “Please Don, this is my fault. You can punish me if you want. I know I deserve it but please let me take her to the hospital. I am going to come back.”“Your words mean nothing to me. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to trust a word from your mouth. You say one thing and do the other. You claim you feel nothing for my brother but you scream his name when I make love to you.”“Am sorry Don I am. Maybe I haven’t

    Isabella ripped that one page from her diary. This was her only moment. She was finally going to confess. She willed herself out of the room. There was no time like the present.If she was going to fail to tell him her heart’s desire, then she was simply going to hand him that piece of paper. In her paper she said,‘I have never known happiness. I have never seen the sun’s bright rays of light. Even at the night, my heart has never been moved by the moonlight and the stars. To me they were nothing but rocks, burning millions of miles away. But then in my deepest darkest moment, I met you.In my lonely moments, I saw you. You have filled my heart with love, like a thief you have stolen my heart and hid it in a place only you can find.Don’t you now consider yourself to be selfish? How can you understand this feeling if I do not yet exist in your lonely world?But now, because you are the reason, I can watch the sun as it rises from its sleep, I stay up late at night some days and make

    In a few hours, it began showering with a beastly cold wind menacing the outside world as if the atmosphere was giving way to an age of ice. The fever had weakened her to the utmost. She could only think of her diary as a means to escape her current state of mind. In her diary, she told him all the things she couldn’t say to him in person. Then again she remembered that if he still wasn’t in his right state of mind, then she would pretend to be Selena and tell him all the things written in her diary.Suddenly she could heard footsteps down the corridor and she wills herself out of bed. Her body is weak and there is pain throbbing in her temple from the fever. The moment she made it out of the room, she could see Maximus making his way to the front door. She hurries behind him and trudges down the stairs. She stops for a quick breath, coughs, and tries to drive off the dizziness in her eyes. She manages to get to the door and there he is, standing on the edge of the porch, staring int

    It was still raining outside when Isabella opened her eyes. She was still alone in bed, aching. As she sat up, shivering from the cold, there was the thought of him. He needed her and she needed to lay aside her feelings as a nurse for him.She managed to pull herself from bed and walked to his room. He wasn’t there. He was gone, just like a few nights before. Panicking, she ran up and down the stairs looking for him. He was gone, perhaps to look for his brother or maybe he had come back to normal and searched for Selena.Panicking a little more with each passing minute, she decided to explore his room one final time, this time she was tempted to take a peak through the window.There he was. Standing in the rain with his arms spread like it was a beautiful sunny day. Her heart shot out immediately. He still wasn’t in his right state of mind.She stormed out of the room, down the stairs, through the front door, and took no time to jump into the rain. He was still just standing there.“

    “Do you want me to hurt you?” “Yes........”“Do you want me to own you tonight?” She said nothing.“Are you drunk?” “No.......”“You are breaking the rules. I am going to have to punish you for that.” He slid the glass of wine from her side of the table, gathering her full attention.“Do you want me to make love to you?”“Yes..........” She squirmed in her stool, next to him but she ended up framing her thighs fully when her dress moved higher.Immediately he touched her there and she almost protested but her hands stopped mid-way, remembering how much she ached to have him inside of her. As his hands continued deeper, she let out a breathless moan, pinching her legs together and locking him in.“You’ll have to let my hand go, I haven’t gotten to the best part yet”She covered her face, now embarrassed but eventually obeyed. He stopped and withdrew.He thought for a moment and then decided to lead her somewhere.“Come with me,” he said. “The night has just begun. Slowly he guided he
