"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.

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."

That Girl In Glasses Prologue.
Eighteen years earlier."I don't want to separate them Tom, " Mary cried with red puffy eyes."We have to." Came the cold reply. He never really loved this woman. The marriage was planned and he absolutely detested planned marriages.His parents just wanted their company to be partners and this was the only condition necessary."Okay," She replied while placing a kiss on the little bundle in her arms and handing it over.She knew better than to argue with him on such a matter although she couldn't stand the undescribable pain in her heart at having to separate her twins."Where are you going to keep her?" She asked as her milky chocolate brown eyes scanned his tired face.She truly was a beautiful woman. Her brown eyes shone up at him pleading for an answer. Her silky soft brown skin seemed to glow under the light.She wa

Present dayMorowa."Just choose something comfortable." I suggested without looking away from the book in my hands."That's the problem!" Val exclaimed throwing her arms up in frustration.I was in Val's room like any other day and today she's preparing for some date and she's totally paranoid over nothing.The guy she was going with would probably be going in a plain Tee shirt and denim pants and here she is fussing over the color of the dress she would wear and what type of dress.In all honesty, I'd pref
That Girl In Glasses 2. Pillows aren't alive are they?
Warren.My head hurt as I try opening my eyes. The soft yet harsh light coming from where I'm thinking is the sun tortures my eyelids.I try adjusting the pillow on my chest so I could take a shower when the pillow grumbles in it's sleep.I could feel my eyes pop out of their sockets. Wait. Pillows aren't alive are they?I notice the blonde hair of a human girl (not a pillow. Thank goodness) I slightly remember draped on my chest as she snuggled into my chest with her once red matte lipstick staining my chest as I adjusted her so I could get up.The girl who I now recognise as the girl from the bar yesterday night. I can't really remember her name but that's the least of my problems at the moment.I leave her on my king sized bed and head for my masters bedroom where I take a shower while trying to remember which bar I

Morowa.That day in Kampala where I had ate my first rolex. Not the watch. The local street food of Uganda.The street full of life at night. All the available clubs were open for business. People moving in all directions kind of like a confused ant colony but I knew they were anything but that.Manny booked an hotel close to the airport so I practically had to drag them out of their comfort zone."Okay okay, we'll come along only because we don't want to search for you when you get carried away." Manny had said this with a smile, happy that she could find some entertainment there too.The music was some
That Girl In Glasses 4. Because I'm not her type.
Devin.Her voice came out in a soft whisper beside me. "This is just breathtaking. I'm impressed."Hair dancing to the tune of the wind like a snake to an animal whisperer.With one of her eyes a hazel colour and the other the natural brown colour, she could easily be classed a freak of nature but that's not the case at all.People just don't understand that she is rare and you don't judge rare because of their conflicting eye colors. You accepted then because they were one in a million.I squeeze her smaller hand tighter, enjoying the warm heat she radiated.The beach was just a few feet below us as we stood at the rocky cliff. How we even got here is a mystery to me though."As am I." I replied without looking at the view which she was openly admiring.S

Morowa."Have I ever told you your eyes are to die for?" gushes Sky in a high pitched voice trying to imitate a crazy fan girl."You mean my eyes could kill people with shock?" I raised an eyebrow throwing my head back to laugh. I liked my reputation in school for one thing. No one judged me for anything and the normal gossiping only happens between Kris's circle which I'm sure Sky is part of but that's really not my business if I'm being honest with myself."You know I always wondered who your parents were because of your conflicting eye colors" he sighed as he placed his chin in his arms still in the fan girl act."My parents" I mumbled trying to conjure up any image of them but it's always a failed attempt seeing that I was too young when they passed. "They went to the sky

Warren."What do you think about the school trip?" Kris asked from beside me. She twirled one of her curls on her index finger."I think this trip is some opportunity for teachers to slack on the job." I said before looking at the front of the class and taking a glance at the door.Why is class always lacking the teacher until thirty minutes into first period? I'm lazy and all but that doesn't mean I don't want to learn."I heard there's even a whole tour on the tower." quipped in Vivian, one of Kris's friends in a way, even though she's not as mean or scandalous as Kris while looking at me from beneath her faux lashes."Yay." I said with enthusiasm as fake as her lashes. "What if—""Don't ruin our mood with your what ifs again." Ken cut me off from my other side."Besides, this trip could b

*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. Hard to believe that she really laid insi

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!" The phone bug into my face where I breathed down the mouthpiece praying nothing bad had happened.My hands dailed his number again, my fingers slipping in the wet screen from my sweaty palm. Nothing added up. Zhurah coughing and the line cutting off abruptly?

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
