I woke up in the morning drawing a blank. For a moment I couldn't remember what happened the night before. 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—"

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.

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.

His little voice was so loud in the air. The sound of Tann's deep laughter followed."Uncle Tann, give Jaimie his Superman!" I shouted from the bedroom, taking another cloth from the pile and folding it tentatively before dropping it with the folded clothes."Momma said you should give it! Uncle Taaaaaaannn!""I'm not giving it. Not until you agree to take your bath.""But I don't want to bathe now. I want in the evening! Allow little Jay to play, uncle Tann!"

I've never seen my friend so tired before."What is it, Mark-man?" I'd asked.He didn't say a thing. Instead, he locked the door immediately he entered. That was almost four hours ago and it's nightfall now.Anya has avoided me all day and she'll be going back to her house tomorrow. She'd arranged my dinner in the dinning table, but she never came out of her room since then.Now, I came downstairs from my room to watch football in the sitting room.

"More than I've ever wanted anything else in my life." Even Dale.The crucial, but fleeting thought was driven from my mind as Tann touched the secret part of me.Gently, he opened my legs and found the sensitive core of my need. I know I was growing moist and soft under his touch and the knowledge of my uninhibited response made me retreat for an instant.My quick, sizzling reaction to Tann was a little unnerving. I've never reacted that way to Dale or anyone, ever."What's the matter, honey?" He continued to stroke me, waiting for me to relax again. "Don't be afraid. I know it's been a long time but I won't hurt you. I'd never hurt you."

Tann was still sleeping beside me, I stared at him so dreamily and a smile stretched my lips.I really did it! I really did!Tann and I had been together all night, he's absolutely insatiable, I thought with an inner smile. I would have thought that all this was a dream if not for the sweet dull ache I feel now. Sore but deliciously so.I lost counts of how many times we reached for each other, it was so beautiful. I didn't know how we made it to the bed but we must have, because that's where we are now.It's barely dawn and everyone was still sleeping. Gingerly, I let myself down from the bed and entered the bathroom. With luck on my side, I can finish breakfast before the men wakes up. And I mean Tanner and Jaimie.

His father was staring at us pitifully and his mother was swiping tears from her eyes."I'm so sorry for this...." I whispered from the ground, my voice hoarse from crying.They all shook their heads at the same time. Obviously speechless."So, it's you, Mina." Tann's mother finally whispered, sniffling.

My voice came out a shaky whisper as I stood up.She looked like she aged ten years in the past five years. She had none of her jeweleries on her body, her hair wasn't braided or styled, there was no fancy cloth on her body.She stared at me with recognition. She stared at me with pain in her eyes.Suddenly, her eyes watered.

He rushed forward and wrapped his little hands around the old man's neck.I was surprised when Freddy's eyes watered as he hugged Jaimie back. I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling so happy that they accepted my son, it brought tears to my eyes.Afterwards, the old man finally straightened to his full height and stared at me beside Tann, a smile on his face."Father, here's Jasamina.

My body was drawn taut with the need to move but instead, I kissed her wet brows, down to her cheeks.Seconds later, she whimpered and went lax under me, making relief to course through me. I pulled back and stroked into her gently.A heavy groan escaped my lips because I found heaven, and it was more than I've ever expected. I took leisure strokes until she sighed breathily.Then, I stretched out on top of her, taking her hands into mine and pinning it above her head.

Her fingernails biting my hand, clutching at it.My hips moved to the musical sound of the night. Steady, rough pumps

With her little boy wrapped hidden under her breast, her body bruised, roaming the streets of New York city, sleeping in an uncompleted building.The tears flew down my cheeks because that girl truly survived. Seeing this, I know, I truly did survive. Maybe....just maybe...it's time for this Jasamina to finally embrace eternal happiness. Because I worked for it. I suffered for it. I deserve it."Yes."
