"Yes, Sapphire is pregnant."
But she had looked so nonchalant about it when she had told me that day. I could remember all too well the way her eyes held hostility towards me. Her mouth saying one thing and her body saying something entirely different.
"I'm lost. But you were so sure she wasn't pregnant earlier. What happened to that?"
"Relax Mr. E—"
"My name is Warren. How many times have I got to say that. I'm nothing like my father." I

Morowa.After my mini heart attack, Ocean sliced the rope which connected be to the bed. I cradled my wrists once again but real life this time. Not a dream. The heavy pain which shot up from my spine, spreading to every part of my body made sure of that.He turned away from me, went out of the room. The room. The room which I still couldn't see. Dang it! I would give anything to catch a little clear image of the blurry surrounding. Anything.Ocean came back and within seconds we were in a vehicle. A van perhaps? I couldn't really tell but the on entry into the vehicle I didn't have to lower my head or squeeze my body so it must be a van."We're here princess." He said and guided me until my legs were firmly planted on the hard concrete floor. Coarse, warm palms made contact with the back of my hands and an object was placed in my arms. I turn

SkyI wasn't expecting this. There they were. Yellow tape and all and yet nothing and no result. Well, in summary I was disappointed. With Devin playing with tooth pick in his mouth, we walk back to the hotel."So where to now?"Doesn't matter if I sounded like I didn't know what I was doing because I didn't. Morowa is missing and now the trip's been cancelled, meaning we would be going back to Florida and back to school IN Florida. This all leads to one thing. I was gonna be stuck there with no updates on her search whatsoever. I feel so useless right now."Hey handsome."Of all the things tha

He couldn't remember the last time he had pined over another female after she had left his life. He made sure to pull her against himself and nuzzle his head in the crook of her neck, taking deep whiffs of her scent. Her shoulders tensed and she turned away from the sandwich she was trying to pull together and her bright ginger brown eyes made even brighter due to the steady stream of sunlight from the windows behind them, to stare up into his fresh scrubbed face."Dario."His head lowered again, tickling her with his soft tresses of hair which weren't up in ponytail for a change and growled in response. He loved the way she said his name. Her African accent blessed her words making it sound like the finest word to his ears.

Morowa. I bit down on my lip while the water works continue. When exactly did my life boil down to this?The thick mist created a small weak blanket in front of me hiding the faces of the 'customers'. Everyone got in position with about three models a pole. The music drifted into my ears in a slow yet upbeat tune and the models started moving according to the music, twisting this way and that, making sure to make their 'goods' juggle with their movements. Everything in me screamed for me to move or at least try to imitate the models if I wanted to survive this but how could I even do what they wanted. How could I even. Urgh. These men were more than half my age and they kept raking their beady eyes over the goods. Quiet a repulsing sight. Why couldn't I just—"I want the black girl!"What? My head snapped forward away from the dark spac

Houses, People and small buildings hurtle past them as Dario clamped his foot down on the had pedal while Mary prayed silently to whatever forces in the skies. Please let them not do anything to her.She had no doubt that sad excuse of a father would do anything to pull her out of her hiding spot. She considered the man beside her from beneath her sable lashes. Thick locks of healthy hair managed to escape the tight ponytail framing his face. She had always had a thing for men with long hair. It was just by coincidence she had met him and they got together.An ear splitting screech resounded around the silent street when he promptly stepped in the brakes and they both came out of the car.The familiar building loomed over then menacingly like a shark with open teeth ready for it's meal but Mary needed to be strong if she wanted this all to go according to plan.

Warren.Her fair hair bounced about her slender shoulders while she turned this way and that, pointing and saying something. I wasn't listening as usual and just tuned her out. “Warren!” I was pulled from my wandering thoughts when she shrieked from beside me causing me to cover my right ear. Noisy much.“What is it?”Her lips thinned. “You weren't listening.”“Of course I wasn't. You did drag me here against my will didn't you?”Her hair curtained her face when she suddenly avoided eye contact. “Yeah, that's what I thought.” I said and stuffed my hands in the pocket of my jeans. “Are you through now?”I had to get ready for the trip back to Florida cause the school had to cancel the whole thing. I knew nothing good would come out of this trip in the first place but no, everyone just had to assume it was my fear of airplane trips speaking. Note lo

Morowa.At least the man didn't really ‘touch’ me yet. I just wanted to get his scent off me. Beer, smoke and drugs. He even dared to rip my clothes of. Heat spread on every inch of my skin everytime the memory of the way I was in my birthday suit beneath that monster. Just at the last minute when he had almost taken my virginity, a woman who seemed to be my godsent, busted through the door, attacked him with a vase while I gathered my clothes and tried not to feel too embarrassed but who was I trying to deceive?Currently I was laying on a comfortable bed decorated with floral patterned sheets and cocooned in a faint lavender and Jasmine scent. This place was a home for sure and it must have belong to the woman who saved me. The woman who rescued me. Why had she referred to me as her daughter while she threatened the man?Determined on finding answers to my questions, I threw my legs over the edge of

Warren.Familiar buzzes of conversations mixed with the silent chattering of Crescent who seemed even more sweaty than I would ever be were the only sounds entertaining me.“She said yes, ” he continued, wiping his palms on his jeans. “I'm so nervous.”“Why are you so nervous?” I asked making sure to mask my growing anxiety. “I've seen the both of you. She's so into you so don't sweat it.”“You don't get it.” He said. “Imagine you were in my shoes and I literally pushed you in front of Valentina and it all went well and urgh.” He ran his fingers through his hair clearly frustrated.“You know what, forget it. “With that, we lapsed into a silence and I tried tuning out the constant buzz around us. We were about to take off again. At least I wasn't as nervous as the first time and I had my headset on with the volume on the highest p

I grabbed a handful of the sodden earth and sniffed it."I don't think ma would've liked to see you do that," Warren objected. I flicked him off and took another huge whiff of the scent.I heard grunting and after a few pants, felt a touch on my shoulder. His straight face came into view and the orange light behind him created a halo around his head. "You ready?""I'm sure this is what ma would've wanted." I breathed in and tried to relax my stiff shoulders when Warren picked up the ceramic vase.After he settled into the same kneeling position beside me and we just sat in silence. My mind strayed and I felt he did the same.I would never get over what she did. Not fully but I had that mutual understanding that she felt she was protecting us anyway she could. Admittedly not the best decision as this is where it had led us to; her on the other side and both of us hurting and shattered.

Wriggling my toes in the wet sand, I smiled up at the sun feeling like a kid at Christmas. My shades flipped over my eyes and I smiled at the redhead beside me. "You know, you don't have to be so grumpy on the beach.""Uh, yes I do," she said. "Someone has to be the adult here."I smirked and wrapped my hands around her, stopping further movement and eliciting a yelp from her. "Oh yeah?""Yeah." She bent her head to the side. An open invitation and how could I resist? I lowered my head and dropped a kiss on the curve where her neck met her shoulder earning a shiver in return."No need to get all touchy, people!" The shout made Val jerk in my grip and our heads collided at the sudden movement. "Let's try to keep what goes on in the bedroom, in the bedroom please!""Yeah, we have children in our midst so keep it light and PG." Devin backed her up and I could hear them snicker behind us.After our initial shyness after the graduation cere

*ONE MONTH LATER*Wild cheers tore through the field and caps flew in the air as our graduating set hugged each other with wide smiles plastered on their faces."Congratulations!" Warren crushed me into a hug threatening to cut off my blood circulation but I wouldn't have it any other way. "Told you we'd make it."The huge eagle of happiness and pure joy in my heart only allowed me to nod, smiling widely. Before I could say, Jack, Val snatched me away from his side and right into her tight hug. "Omg, we made it, Rowa!""Yes." I squealed with her as we both jumped multiple times while holding hands. "Now you can give my baby brother the kiss he's been dying for.""Shhh." She covered my mouth with her hands, her eyes wide. After peering over my shoulder, she tried to conceal the vivid blush on her cheeks. "Remember I'm taking things slow.""Slow, shmlow," I scoffed waving my hand as if throwing the idea away. "It's just one k

Deep and varying shades of the sun set set the dark brown of his eyes off , the warmth of his palm over mine a silent reassurance he didn't plan in going anywhere anytime soon. His silence said it all while he waited for me to sift through and try to solve the puzzle of emotions clashing against each other, demanding my attention in my mind."Who would've guessed it?"Even with my eyes concentrated on the miniature view of the city below us and the cars, lights, people, movements seemed to take slow motions but I knew they hurried but it made no difference from this distance, I noticed his head tip back and he drew in an audible breath.He didn't give me a response, silently urging me to continue. I sigh and found his hand giving it a small squeeze."Who would've thought my creep would turn out to be this annoying being beside me."That drew a silent chuckle from him and he tightened his hold in my hand. "True." He

Glistening and bouncing light off each other, both rectangular caskets stood beside each other. People gathered around a few feet away from them as we all bowed our heads waiting for the Reverend to say the final prayers.My eyes felt ran out of tears as I held unto my new brother's arm like a life line cause I felt the earth would shift from under me if I let go.I just met her and we hadn't even connected the way a mother and daughter should and this happened. Her eyes, similar to mine, shone in my mind as she smiled up, warding off the chill of the world around me."I'm so sorry.""My deepest condolences.""She was such a strong woman, unfortunate really.""Are you sure they're even really twins, what if the boy was adopted?""What an unusual pair."All whispers, good and bad were directed at us even as we paid our homage to our mother.

Ariana's voice came out loud in the void silence of my room as I searched for the blasted phone with my eyes closed, raining curses on the person calling me at this time of the night."Warren speaking." I rubbed my eyes still facing the ceiling."Hey son, your mother is having an episode of coughing and is spitting out her guts and we're in the way to the hospital right now, please meet us there beca—." He literally yelled threatening to destroy my ear drums while an engine revved in the background followed by coughs."Dario, the road!" Her warning drowned his voice before a the line dropped with silence."Dario!"

Different fragrances and colognes mingled and mixed together with the movements of men in suits and women in long or short evening gowns and huge bonnets perched on their heads.At the top of the stairs, her eyes searched the room hoping to meet the only people that mattered to her at the moment. A hand on her shoulder distracted her sight from the massive double doors left ajar with guest spilling in to the vast room to stare into his concerned gaze."They'll be here."Easier to say and harder to believe."I don't know, I'm not worried about Kovu, it's Kara." She glanced at the door again."You still haven't told then their real names have you?""They're not ready."He stepped behind her, nuzzling her before placing a kiss on it. She relaxed into the huge, warm man with a sigh.His head still lowered, he slid his hands over her hips pulling her into him to feel his ha

His head rested against my lap, a comfortable weight while I ran my singers through his thick locks. Who would've thought my creep would be this guy. This intelligent, beautiful, caring guy with the most enchanting eyes."Why are you looking at me like that?""Like how?""Intense." He sat up and faced me on the large couch. "Like I'm gonna vanish into thin air.""What if you do?"His laughter filled the room and I breathed in concentrating on the sound. He didn't get it. Everything that had happened up took this point and he still stood beside me laughing at my question. Might sound cheesy but I couldn't imagine another day without him. Like a drug, he became addictive. My addiction."I won't," he said with conviction. "And even if I did, I'd hold you so I won't disappear alone." "Great plan."We laughed at our little inside joke and I attempted to braid his hair but only came ha

Mary decided to throw a little party to celebrate her united family and maybe bring her children closer to her.No mater how much she demanded their attention, they always acted aloof around her. Of course they paid her the due respect she needed but she wanted more than that.Dario's hands twirled one thick strand of her hair while she was drowned in her thoughts."What is it Amour?" He asked after noticing her absentminded state. "If you don't want to throw the party, it's fine, we can cancel it.""No," she rushed out and bit on her lip. "That's not the case."He changed his position so he could squat in front of her. "Then what is it?"Mary sighed. She wasn't planning on spoiling his mood or anything but it was chewing in her insides and threatening to reduce hey to nothing is she didn't speak."It's just I can't help but feel like my children don't want to get closer to me."His wor
