“Well, when I returned home, Vincent had gotten drunk and shoveled my aunt Natalie with bottles. It was an unpleasant surprise to find her head open and full of blood… “Suddenly, I felt her hug me tightly.
“Sorry, Josh...”
“Thanks...”
I felt lighter. After talking with Marcy, despite everything, it was not a bad girl. We were talking for a few hours, and she told me a little about her life in school. Her mother had thought of enrolling her in an all-boys school.
It happened to have just changed the administration, and she was starting to be a coeducational school. Still, what was her surprise? She was the only girl who signed up that year.
As on more than one occasion, she had to fight with other boys who, in one way or another, had always tried to overstep with her.
I couldn’t help but laugh, and she hadn’t been so amused. Yes, after that, she hit my shoulder. I couldn’t move it f
My aunt was still the same, she had not gotten any improvement, and she was still in a coma prostrated in that bed. I really wish I could heal her somehow, but no one had that kind of power. I really felt horrible those days, but Marcy’s company helped me a lot to surpass it.It was Sunday. I got up at 6am. As usual, I followed my usual ritual, got up, made my bed, brushed my teeth, bathed in cold water, and then had breakfast. Always in the same order as a kind of ritual. Today was a special day.I was supposed to meet Marcy at the downtown mall to watch a movie.But first, as usual, I would go see Natalie.When I got to that room, I could see how Natalie was prostrated in that bed, with her eyes closed. Unfortunately for me, as usual, already three weeks passed, and she still didn’t open her eyes. I couldn’t help but think that she was the only thing that was left to me. She was the only person in my family alive. Vincent and Maria dea
Upon returning to the hospital, I talk to Nati, explained the situation to her, and agreed with me. She wouldn’t mind taking a brat with her, and she said as she laughed.“But maybe you should talk to her.”“Maybe I should... but right now, I really don’t want to.”“I understand, but before you make any decision, take your time to think about it. I still have some more time here. The doctor still wants to do me a who knows what of the head, so use that time to reflect.”I just smiled, walked over to her, and gave her a kiss on her forehead.As I left the hospital, I could see Marcy waiting, anxious with her blank stare.“Josh...” When I saw her I only felt sadness, while I saw how her eyes were red, I noticed that she had been crying for a long time.“Hello,” I said without encouragement. I wanted to do so many things. I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry, but at t
It is 2:30 pm on Wednesday. Diana Turquoise is sited in her office clearing up her tasks for the day. Her phone rings, and she is summoned to the office of the General Manager. Diana has been working at clean Chilies Company for the last five years since her graduation. ‘’Come in, Miss Turquoise,” John said. ''Thank you, sir,” Diana responds. Mr. John then asks Diana to sit on the chair opposite him. ''as you know, there have been ongoing promotions in the company over the last two months, and I am aware that you also interviewed for a promotion. Due to the high cost in terms of salary increment involved when it comes to promotion, I would like to let you know that very few qualified for promotions. Many factors were put into consideration before settling on the exactly qualified personnel."John said. Diana felt her heart stop racing. In the 5 years, she had worked at the company, she was known to be very thorough and dedicated at her work. Sh
''My name is Jacob. Your friend here tells me you twisted your ankle and would like a massage,'' the man said in a husky voice. ‘’ I do,’’ Diana replied. ''Why have I never known about this spa? Your services are top-notch. If I had people to recommend, I would,'' Diana says to Jacop. He goes on doing his work as if he didn’t hear her prompting Diana to question him once again. ''Well, it is because you never have interests in other people. I know it sounds weird, but I have had from the grapevine that you rarely interact with your coworkers outside work. With such an attitude, you cannot know about what happens around you, ''Jacop whispers into her ears. ‘’I see. If interacting with other people means getting to discuss others behind their back, I do not want any part of it. Thank you,’’ Diana sarcastically replies. ''It doesn't matter. You now know this place, and you can come by anytime for our services. I will give you my bus
Diana wakes up to a ringing phone from an unknown number. She is furious because she can’t remember giving anyone her phone number. Besides, who dares call one at two o’clock unless it is an emergency? She disconnects the call and goes back to sleep. She sleeps soundly till six a.m., when her alarm rings. At work, she remembers she had something to find out and doesn't feel settled throughout the day. At lunch, she goes to the spa to find out if Jacop is around, and to her relief, he is. She calls him aside and asks what has been bothering her. Despite herself, she admits that the guy is handsome, and it really might be possible that she was blinded by her desire to get intimate. ''Yes, we had sex. After that, I drove you home. How comes you do not remember anything? 'Jacop said. ''It was literally the best night I had in such a long time, and I even called you to request another hookup today, but you hanged up on me.'' Diana could not bel
"Who is Diana?' Tom questioned absent-mindedly. ‘’The lady I massaged a while ago after her accident. Who works at Clean Chillies and confronted me some time back thinking I had drugged her so as to take advantage of her, ’Jacop answers. ‘’Bro! Are you sure this isn’t about the good sex you enjoyed? How many times have you said you have fallen in love with a lady only to leave her days or weeks later? I don’t think someone like you really can fall in love and before you break another lady’s heart in the name of love, please leave her alone. ’Tom says. ''You don't understand. I really love her and am sure she might be feeling the same way. The problem is that I am assuming she feels the same. How do I know if she really is or if I am paranoid, 'Jacop replies. Tom shrugs his shoulders and answers that her body language might give him the answers he needs or, better still, just questioning Diana will help. Jacop mumbles a thank you and starts pla
On Monday at work, Diana arrives but is still troubled about her confrontation with Jess. She and Jacop didn't discuss the issue, and she is sure she wasn't fair in shutting out Jacop, but she couldn't help but do it. Jess hadn't tried calling her yet, and she isn't sure if she is giving her space to calm down or what. At ten, she hears a knock on her door. She asks the person to come in and is surprised to see Sanders. Since the day of her promotion, they haven't met, and she is sure he's coming to her office isn't a good sign. ''Please sit down, Sanders. How can I help you?'' she asks, staring at her desktop. ''Thank you, Diana. I actually came to apologize for last time. It wasn't fair of me to take out my job frustrations at you when you were only trying to help when I had asked for help. I have carefully thought about what you said, and it's true. I am planning to turn a new leaf. 'He said. Beep. Beep. Diana receives two messages, and after openi
''You aren't going to die soon, mom. I know the doctors will do their best to help you. 'Jess says, and Diana nods.They spend the whole day walking around their small hometown, and Diana tells them that she has to get to work the next day and that she will come back soon to see them.Jess promises to bring her husband Nick and son Felix the next time, and Diana says she will talk with Jacop and know whether he is up to come with her on her next family visit.''That will be a full family reunion, 'Maggie says, closing one of her eyes in pain, something none of her daughters realizes.''Okay, Jess and mom. Take care of yourselves. I will take my leave now, 'Diana says, kissing both of them on the cheeks goodbye.She drives to Jacop’s home and finds him making dinner.''Hello love, you didn't tell me you were coming back. I would have prepared your favorite dish. 'Jacop says, hugging her.''No problem. It was a surprise. I missed
