Twenty more minutes. Just twenty little minutes and I'm out of here. Liza thought as her body twisted in different acrobatic styles. It certainly wasn't helping her stomach the least bit especially after her encounter with Dean. He threatened to fire her yet again when next she went awry. Now, the population in the room had suddenly doubled from a couple of minutes ago, she knew too well that it wasn't as a result of more customers filing in--well if at all more really did come in what about the double tables and drinks, did they come in too? Liza's belly gurgled more and louder with time as a huge lump slowly began to build up to her buccal cavity. Her throat lurched, ready to empty it's suffocating contents but she managed to out smart it by posing into an erect pole stance. Delightfulness tickled her lips but that was just for as short a while as she could remember because nature could really not be cheated. Damn it
"God's a wonderful man, All of you will agree with me this God of ours doesn't take something good without something better in return," he beamed one of those contagious smiles he ever owned, "he is the way, the truth and the light. He keeps not a record of our sins. Can somebody say a big Amen to that?" "Amen," Came the congregational chorus. "You know, he knows the moves you have taken and the ones yet to come. He is waiting on you with arms wide open saying 'come onto me and have rest', he doesn't care about your past; abortions, fornications, drug abuse, just to name a few. Whatever it is, repentance is your key to him. God..." he trailed and closed his eyes for a moment. "Jesus! This man is just wonderful," Pastor Jones he was called. The altar was his home and the Bible he fed on. Zaphrina looked up at him with admiration and a little guilt blending as his words sipped into her soul; for a moment, she felt like he was referring to her all through.
"Mira called yesterday, she said she'd been trying to reach you all day to no avail," Kate said, keeping some leftover food into the refrigerator. "I told her you were probably too busy to pick up." "Yeah, I was. Messaged her immediately I saw her missed calls," she confirmed, wiping the last plate in hand. Mirabelle was the closest relative she was in touch with all the way from her paternal home town--Cameroon. Unlike her, Mira as she was preferably called, was married with two kids. A girl who was just a year older than she was. Zaphrina was just nine years old when her parents took her there. Immediately, she and Mira became inseparable. The only problem she had was communication. She knew nothing about french back then same was Mira with English, but as children are; quick to learn, eight months three weeks spent was more than enough to know every secret of the french language. The doorbell rang just in time, Zaphrina wiped her hands on a k
'Earliest hours of Monday' were his exact words to his dad on Saturday, so there he was in his private jet to France as early as seven. France wasn't much of a distance, But the approximated seven hours flight was enough to think about his encounter with this merging company. He hoped and rehoped his absent-mindedness wouldn't lead to a bigger mess in his company. The Renault company was one of the most reliable and strongest French car brand and working in partnership with them wasn't much of a bad idea though this case couldn't have idea classified under it but rather mistake. He turned to his P.A who had been standing beside him for the past eight minutes since he called him. "I'll be in France for just a couple of days, say two or three. I want my home tidy before my arrival, you know, butler, maids and all those. A maximum of sixteen maids will do. Do not recruit any from my parents home be it former or present neither should you let my mum chose t
The sun was overhead. She felt its diverging rays on her skin like million stabs, a glimpse at her wristwatch confirmed it as it read 12:01 noon. How time flies. A loud groan from her tummy etched a frown on her face whilst her hand rubbed it gently; Anticipation getting the best of her, She woke up as early as six for a job hunt that she hadn't had time to chew on the slightest edible thing around. Her eyes darted, making sure its loudness didn't pick awareness. Her mouth released a small puff of air in relief when no one did. Gotta ingest something, she thought. But not until I'm over this. Zaphrina was Currently standing in front of a grocery store where she mentally recited a short prayer. Hoping not to have a repetition of previous stores encounter. She clung her bag a little tighter than it already was before reaching for the glass door. Fortunately, there wasn't a population at the cashiers. She walked straight to a
The sound of her ringtone ghosted a dizzy groan out her lips but her eyes won't open. They were still sleep coated and resulted in her hand playing the role of her eyes with the help of her ears. Zaphrina outstretched her hand to the direction of the ringtone but tapped on an empty surface and then a book, now her lamp. Damn phone! "Hello..." Her gravelly voice dawdled immediately at the phones hold. "Will you get your ass off that bed and come help me prepare for a dinner date tonight?" "Aren't you aware of the time?" Her voice was now slowly but surely diving back into sleep like her eyes did. "I am, reason why I called." Her hand sluggishly directed the phone to a pair of barely opened eyes. Nothing reported clear to them before but the blurred figures at the top left of her screen were enough to hit her eyes open. 9...wait!! Perhaps her eyes were playing tricks on her. A couple of eye blinks got the fo
"This should be enough to complete Lola and Lorna's tuition fee." Liza carefully deposited the flaxen envelope on her mother's bed. It was still very early in the morning when Liza had decided on letting her mum know about the money Zoe and Co had gifted her after six hours of mind battles on whether to let her know or not, fear of the lady inquiring on its Genesis. Her mum immediately made her way to the neatly arranged bed where Liza sat. The lady flipped open the object and her eyes came in contact with dollar bills. They widened at the immediate sight and began fluctuating from the envelope to her daughter. "How much is in here and where is this from?" The lady poured. "Three thousands." Liza said flatly, trying to wave away the latter question, but knowing her mum too well, she would insist on the question she was trying to avoid. "It's a token from friends and co workers. You know...to keep me alive while I search for a new job." She answered an
She woke up to the first two seconds into the intolerant noisiness of her alarm and stopped it without the slightest hesitation. It was only five-thirty in the morning; Enough time to tidy up and relax over a cup of hot chocolate before embarking on a long journey. She made sure to round up in quietness not wanting to disturb her mum. She had breakfast while standing, her light brown eyes focused on nothing but the kitchen window, she gently sipped the hot brown liquid inside her favorite white mug as she watched the sunrise like a baby, painting the once black sky into a bright blue one with little to no clouds roaming it, however, some birds flew from one tree to the other chirping and chanting their mind soothing melodies. Nature was indeed wonderful. She snapped out of her reverie as she heard a door creak. Her mum must be awake already. Just a couple of hours left to report to work on time, Zaphrina hurriedly wished her mum a good d
Zag: Hey guys, so...as you can all read from the title, this is I, going to render the Woods a little visit. Hopefully they're all home...*knocks and waits* oh, someone's coming. Marley: Zag, what a surprise. Come on in. Zaph: *exiting the kitchen* Who's at-- Zag! How're you? Zag: I'm good, I'm good. So...are you guys busy or something? 'Cuz I'll really need forty minutes or so, of your time. Zaph: Oh, we ain't. Just finished with the kitchen. Zag: Great! As you both know, I wrote a book on you and eh, most of my readers requested an interview with you guys. Hope you cool with that? Marley: Sure. Zaph: Oh wow, are we already this popular? Zag: Ok, so, first question...from Lathi555. "Marley, what was your first impression of Zaphrina?" Marley: Oh! Well...Lioness. Yeah, I felt like she was ready to rip me limb from limb right at that lobby. Zaph: *grins* you were being such a jerk that's why. Zag:
Pls this is strictly for those who have no worries reading sex scenes. Contents here are explicit. "Finally put Ace to sleep?" Marley questioned his exhausted wife as she walked in and made her way to the vanity mirror. "After the night struggle? Yes, I did," she wiped off her makeup. "By the way, thanks for putting Beth back to sleep, don't know how I would've handled the situation without you." Marley set aside his laptop, walked to his wife and gently massaged her shoulders, "Anything for you, baby panda." he smirked at their reflection in the mirror and from the look on his wife's face, she seemed as excited as he was. "Kinky." "Am I?" Zaphrina smiled back as she quit the chair she earlier occupied, causing Marley to pull her waist to his bulging crotch. She dropped her head backward with a pleasurable moan and quiver. "...Or you just got a dirty mind." She said nothing else to him besides a moan sipping b
Inspired by Jacob Lee - I belong to you. The doors to the church finally broke open drowning away Marley's paranoia and anxiety; Earlier that morning he had been disturbingly antsy to see his bride that he had lost a wink of sleep all night. Josh, his best man urged him to do so to no avail--he just couldn't understand--while Ken simply promised to support him whenever his body decided to turn against him as side effect. Marley tried several times to steal a peek at his bride but her mum wouldn't let him, in fact, she warned him it was bad luck to do so. So, he had to bear with the suspense until now that she walked down the aisle of St. Martin's Cathedral looking enticingly gorgeous, Stunning, in her white tiny diamond glittering wedding robe. She took corresponding steps to the piano's melody with Neville's left arm engulfed in her right arm. A bead of sweat slid down his temple and Josh who was
"It is done like this," Mira said, taking the hand grinding machine from Zaphrina. "Tu vois?" you see? But Zaphrina only whimpered whilst touching her tummy in response. "What?...Mon Dieu!" she exclaimed, eyes wide at Zaphrina's wet legs. In a matter of minutes, in pains and cries, Zaphrina was rushed to the Buea Regional Hospital. ..••.. "It's Buea, somewhere...in Cameroon. Checkpoint if I'm not mistaken." "What are you saying?" Marley had decided to face his mum again after four months. The only reason he did so was because of peer pressure from siblings and his dad. Apparently, they told him she was dying and needed to set eyes on him but he only took that as an excuse for him to see the woman. To say he wasn't surprised that his mum hadn't recovered from the so-called stress would be an understatement. But he went anyway because he missed her. "You wished to know her whereabouts didn't you?"
inspired by Passenger- let her go. •You only know your lover when you let her go. And you let her go.• 'Are you offering me these contacts? I think you need them more than I do.' 'A sip won't kill now, will it? ' 'You really do have nice eyes. How often do you conceal them?' 'What if there's a link...what if...what she wanted was have a child with you?' 'A stripper...she's a stripper. She might utter one or two things which will ruin my reputation.' 'How much do you cherish your reputation?' 'I really have to tell you something...its urgent. I'm not just...Zaphrina.' 'There's nothing more between the stripper and me since that night.' 'What if you are that someone's special person?' 'Liza, wait!' 'No, I am sorry. Let me help you.' In came the thoughts, each with its events. How blind. Just how blind had he been? Liza had been on the tip of his nose all along. That day, Marley dedicated his body to his room, rereading the letter and comparing the thousand dollars check w
Somewhere in the depths of emptiness, he heard the beeping sounds of a machine, like those he usually heard in hospitals. Marley fought to ignore it to no success so he tried to open his eyes to decipher the origin of the nagging sound but it was almost impossible to break his lids open. "Look, his finger shook," he heard a soft female voice say. "Are you sure?" "I swear it did—there it goes again." "Right. Go call the doctor. Quick!" The voices to his ears were so distant yet, the words were figurable. Where was he? Marley in a second attempt to open his lids saw before him a surly sky of white. Then came an unbearable pulsing of his head. He grunted. The doctor, he presumed, rushed in and instantly patted random parts of his chest with his stethoscope. What I'm I doing here? With his eyes void of emotion and plastered to the ceiling, Marley struggled to shut down the incessant pulsing in order to reminisce the series of event which had led him to such an unpleasant atmosphe
She had finished packing her luggage in tears and hopes of Marley sticking to the rendezvous the next day. She then drove straight to the kitchen with an envelope in hand. To what extent can evil prevail? "I guess everything is ready?" her mum quizzed. "You're really sure you want to go ahead with this?" She twisted her mouth doubtfully, "Well, it depends." "Ah hah!" Kate exclaimed in confirmation. "What on if I may ask?" "Tomorrow's atmosphere after seven am: If he blooms acknowledgment and positive feedback then, I will stay but if not, I'm afraid I'll really have to leave the country." "I pray it's positive. I really don't want you to leave," Zaphrina smiled, "Here, I saved some money to sustain you while I'm gone." "You're being pessimistic." "You needed to see how much anger blazed in his being. I would be lying if I said I have high expectations of him showing up."
Chapter inspired by Janet Devlin (cover)-- Wicked games. It's been two days since his world had stopped spinning. Marley had refused to see the sun. Just two days ago, he was broken to the marrow, so close to death that even Lauren had noticed when he had come to see Louisa. The latter was his comfort during those times until she had decided to leave for the main residence the previous day. His wedding was due in two days and he had decided to go ahead with it as it pleased she who wished for it. It appeared her mind had been made up on deserting him for reasons he couldn't quite understand but thinking about it for past days: if she turned down his offer to give her ten times more money than his mum did, that should simply prove there were more reasons for her actions than just the money. And the reason no doubt was one his mum probably knew? Marley pressed hard on his temples. They hurt so much from brainstorming nonstop. He never thought he'll ever wish for something like
I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you. Take me back to the night we met. Inspired by Lord Huron- the night we met. He hadn't gone as far as switching on his computer for the past three hours. He wanted to see no one--not even his best friends, receive no call be it from the most important of his clients or whoever despite the fact that he was slumped in his business site. Marley was delighted though not entirely: knowing Louisa was safe and sound and had finally made up her mind on forgetting the scoundrel who found pleasure in jumbling her heart with rocks, on the other hand, his heart burned whenever he thought about Zaphrina and the words she had mumbled to him. He sighed in frustration. Earlier that morning, he had tried calling her again yet no change, the act which almost had him smacking his new phone against the wall. Marley collected his coat from the back of his chair, prepared to depart; He was expecting Lauren home in less than four hours to see Lou
