As I made something for Jamie to eat, my mind wandered to Xax. I have missed him alot. He's grown so much too. He is now looking way more broad than before that I'd love to sleep in his arms while I cuddle with him.
I smiled at the thought I was having but then the smile suddenly went off in the thin air when I remembered what he called me on saturday when he came to visit " kiddo".
He actually sees me as a kid and it very annoying he sees me as one although I acknowledge the fact that he's way older than I am but does it poses like any hindrance to the relationship I don't think so.
But then again, do what I think actually matter?
It's quite obvious that he doesn't feel the same way. The thought still made me unhappy.
I was about to carry the food to the sitting roo

She showed us some places in New York we've never seen before.Being new to town, it made me happy that we're sightseeing. But definitely not as happy as it made Jaimie.Jaime laughed and played through it all. He pointed at places and asked several questions which we answered patiently.Afterwards, our final stop was the restaurant where we ate."Momma, look at the stars up there, they look so beautiful. I want to go to the stars." Jaimie says excitedly, tapping me repeatedly on my lap, his other hand pointing at the sky."Yeah baby, the stars are really beautiful."

I was surprised that Jasamina is really good at it. "Heavens!" I exclaimed when she won again. She laughed uproariously, so happy. "I won you again!" She said so smugly. I gave her a mock glare. "It's because I've been going so easy on you. This time around, I'll forget that you're a woman." "Alriiiiiiiight. Give it your best shot." She giggled, eyeing the board. The game started again which went on for hours. The concentration was extensive. The silence in the house was comfortable. Only the ticking of the clock was heard. Jasamina won again and shrieked so excitedly. "Damn!" I groaned, glarin

I whispered the words that has hung in my mind for so long a time."Gods!" He was kissing me again and this time around, longer than the last time. He kissed me until my body felt heavy and wanting his. I leaned into him, trembling with my desire for him."Please, don't say those words again, honey. Never again....Anya, whatever you feel for me you might think it's love, maybe because you've not gone out a lot and met most men around your age or a little closer. Then, you will really know that you might have been crushing on me all these while....""No!" I whispered vehemently. "I know what I feel, Xazix, I've felt it for so long and I'm no longer a sixteen-year-old or eighteen-year-o

Then, I remember playing card and winning Tann repeatedly.I smiled at the memory. His face had been so animated when I won him several times.I remember feeling so tired and after taking my bath, I remember battling sleep. I must have fallen asleep while I waited for Tann to finish bathing."Good morning, Sunshine." Tann said with a smile from the doorway.I sat up on the bed and smiled sleepily. "I fell asleep last night.""That you did, honey. I didn't want to wake you up from sleep. I'm with little Jay at the sitting room and—""Momma momma!"

Afterwards, he took a deep breath, "I am....Vixenda's father."For a full minute, the information hung between us. In my head, I'll say it hit a wall and bounced back. I couldn't comprehend it immediately."Come again?" I groaned, all muscles in my body tautened.The man blinked slowly in sadness. "I'm Vixenda's father, Mark.""Alright, I'm done here. It was nice meeting you again, you vile old man." I said very softly, and turned towards the door."P-please, listen to me....."I swung around very fast. "There's nothing to listen to. Now, all these years might have passed, but there are some things that can never be forgotten. It took me years to get over the hate I feel for you and your daughter, but I see

Then, I remember the way he'd left me there all hanging with my pride in tatters, and I feel hurt.Never again. Never again will I do a thing like that again, offering myself up like that again. I, Anya Vixenda O'Connor, will never do something like that again!Since morning, I know I won't be able to face him. So,I left the house early in search of work. I would have gone home but I promised Uncle Mark that I'll stay until Sunday.

I got down and turned towards him.In the space of the minutes I stayed in his car, I learned a few things. He's thirty years old, and single. He only has his mother, his father died when he was just little. And he's interested in me.He smiled kindly. "It's no problem at all, Anya. Thank you for giving me your time. Can I take you out for dinner tomorrow?"I bit my lips. I wanted to tell him truthfully that I'm in love with someone else and I wouldn't be able to go out with him when my eyes caught the window of Xax's room and I saw him standing there with his arms crossed and looking down.He had a huge scowl on his face.I quickly averted my eyes and looked back on the man who was still
