2021-08-13 05:26:39I opened the door and entered the house directly, heading to my room, which is upstairs. Threw my bags on the table and I laid down on the bed while patting Billy.
I took my diary and wrote
“I asked her out, and she was completely Janus-faced! What should I do? I don’t want to lose a Lover and a Best friend”
I closed the diary and pulled a comic from the shelf and started to read. That’s when Cory called me. It was lunchtime, and I went to eat.
At the dining table, I kept hearing my telephone chiming over and over again. But we all know, it’s a family code that all kinds of gadgets are strictly prohibited anywhere near the dining table In the Dining Room.
I tried to eat as quickly as I could so that I could go on to check out my phone. Few minutes, I went upstairs to check on my phone.
“Hey Davis, change of plans. I’m not going to granny’s”
it was Taylor on W******p's messages.
From that moment on, I knew that it was a “YES” to the date.
Then I replied, “sooooo Saturday is a deal?”
She replied, “Nah Not really, my schedule that day is Brutal! Can’t come I’m sorry”
I felt like the machine struck me with a Giant magnet so that I froze! I threw a phone on my bed and continued reading my comic book, that’s when an idea came:
“The heck did you expect her to reply, are you dumb? C’mon!. Now think like this: What if I stick to the plan on my side? She comes, it’s even better! She doesn’t come. How do you know that she won’t?”
I put my comic back on the shelf, and grabbed my game console, and played GTA
That day I played a game with a Jamaican dude, who played like crazy! He won so many times that he made me quit playing online!
Saturday Morning, I slept in as I knew I wasn’t going anywhere (I had forgotten). After breakfast, I went to arrange my bags for the next coming Monday I’d join the National University. But I remembered that I had decided to stick to the plan no matter what.
After lunch, I prepared myself. I put on a black suit, a plain white shirt, and a white Air Force (I hate suits and their companions tho! Like how do you put on those Long Oldman shoes)
I left home and took a taxi to the Camellia Restaurant. I managed to arrive at 14h20 so that I could wait hopelessly for her if she’d come!
I carried my phone with me to help me fight against boredom while I was going to wait for her. After five minutes, I ordered a drink and guess what! (Drum roll, please...) A milkshake! I just like Milkshakes, but I thought it would look so childish and not cool to suck milkshakes on a date!
So I ordered a Coca, with some ice cubes because it was so hot outside.
one minute (like really one) At 14h27 While it was browsing my Twitter page and drinking my Coca-Cola,
I heard a voice of a lady! “Is this seat taken?” She sounded like Siri!
“Oh yeah it is, I’m so sorry lady!” I answered without even looking at her.
That’s when the echoes returned in my head, and I recognized a familiar voice! At that moment the glass was on my lips sipping at the drink and I choked on my drink! I choked very awkwardly that coca was all over my white Shirt, dripping from my nose and spilled all over my phone!
“Wait a minute, are you kidding me?” I asked, shameful and gazing at her in awe!
She was giggling, with her hands on her mouth.
A bartender came and asked, “What can I offer to you, Ma’am?”
“Oh please! No ma’ams here, just miss. Um, I’m taking African coffee”
“Thank you, miss”
There was this awkward silence. I was lost staring at that beautiful lady sitting in front of me.
In our conversation earlier in upper secondary, I remember mentioning that when she’s wearing long clothes; it doesn’t look very impressive on her.
So she Might’ve taken it too seriously because she was wearing a minidress. Very unusual to her!
It was a tight Red minidress that had some gold chains on the hips, A black purse, and black heels. She was so gorgeous. In all the previous years, I had never seen her in shape like that. She looked very mature and neat.
“Gosh! I am so embarrassed right now!” I said, laughing nervously, but I managed to control myself.
“Nice suits, dave!”
“Ha! You have no idea how I looked a couple of minutes ago before I spilled my drink on them!” I said, bragging so that we could all get in the same mood.
“hahaha! I hate you, Dave”
“That makes two of Us, actually! I hate him too”
And she laughed so hard that time
“Well, jokes aside, but you look so Princess-y! I mean so beautiful.”
“well, thank you Dave”
(Then I covered my mouth with a hand like when you are telling a secret, then I Said:" except princesses wear very long dresses!") Then She threw some napkins at me.
I took a long sip of my drink, and I adjusted my shirt to give me some freedom. After unbuttoning the second button. I waited for her to finish drinking her coffee.
I said, “I knew you’d make it here!”
“Um, well, I don’t know why exactly. I’m just here!)
“Thank you for coming T “
We had an endless talk, full of touches of laughter. We were happy.
The sun was setting. At 16h she said” I think I can go home now. It’s getting late," she said, reaching her phone to check the time.
“Yeah sure, let’s go,” I said, reaching for my wallet to get the credit card. And suddenly it wasn’t there! “Uh-oh!” I gasped.

The Anatomy of Wind: Beware! May I say a word, please?
“Hey, what’s wrong? Wait a minute, I know that look,” she said, looking at me. “um, I think I forgot something” “like a credit card?” She said, completely confident. “I think so” “Fear not, for miss T will save the day!” she said posing like a superhero! I sighed in relief and laughed “saying oh! No save me, save me!” mimicking someone in trouble, which made both of us crack a smile. Normally she was extroverted, unlike me, but by hanging out a lot, she ended up being infected by my secret introvercy. Like me, when she’s around unfamiliar company, you might think that she’s deaf or something. But she’s not exactly l

I found it difficult to sleep after what happened. Frankly, I expected her to say "I love you too" or "I'm not interested" (which she couldn't) but now that she thanked me, I was in a dilemma, not sure which side she was on. After one sleepless hour, I turned on the internet again and streamed some white noise music to help me to fall asleep. After like one minute still struggling with sleeping, my phone woke me up with a message. "Hey, I love you too. I have loved you since the beginning, but I was waiting for you to take the first step. Good night Davis"
Last Updated : 2021-08-16The Anatomy of Wind: Beware! Who am I? I'm a Jackson.
Before going to bed, I took my diary and wrote down a quote from Lise Kiberwa's poetry collection called "Wind", Completely for no reason at all!: >>Like the wind, I don't want to belong anywhere. Just like the wind, I want to be felt but not seen. Like the wind, I want to both strengthen and extinguish the wildfire. Like the wind, I want to stress some poor old lady gently sweeping her compound by bringing all the dirt she's been removing. Although I want to be like the wind, my vulnerable heart needs a home.<< That night, we chatted about that day and how her adopted parents are my real parents. she was totally stunned but I can tell that she already knew ab

The next Friday, I watched over my sister and Taylor while my parents went to work. I also changed my names across all my social media platforms, from Dave Robinson to Davis Depp Jackson. My parents would come back in the evening, and we would watch animated movies together. Me, Dinah and mummy, we like animated movies, but Taylor and Daddy don’t. They just like hanging out with the family during movie time. Saturday, my parents invited all the family to my welcoming party, majority of them who didn’t even know me. I met my cousins, my uncles and my aunts; they told me that I had no Grandparents because they had died many years ago.

She drove me to the metropolis and after saying goodbyes she headed back home and I proceeded to the agency responsible for trainees. Because I was the top in my class, I became so popular on the board that I started to make money by working along with actual engineers. Operating engines, repairing hibernation pods, repairing and designing 3D printers, and all sorts of mechanical and technological development were my specialty, plus I had knowledge about programming and geography so I wasn’t treated like a trainee but a normal scientist. ASB had a mission to go to space on ISS in the next two months, so they thought that it would be a good idea if they added a program of

After not being able to identify what’s wrong with pumps physically, we ran the full diagnosis of the captain’s deck to see whether it was system glitches. Everything seemed normal, but the progress was stuck on 87%. That's when I told Tom that we can copy the system data to my drive to study them later. In the process, we managed to pass all restrictions by using a Magnetic fields generating device to override the systems because the normal procedures required Admin’s Authority, and it was against laws to have a copy of the project like that on your computer. &nbs

Aboard the STEED 7, we were 25 crew and a Robot. Everyone, including me, had piloting skills just in case. Well, I have to admit that my skills were more Virtual Reality based. In real life, I never sat in a pilot's cabin flying a ship, but theoretically, I was a co-pilot. Machines double-checked the ship for every single criterion and they allowed us to board the spaceship. After wearing space suits and strap in, the Automated voice came from the cockpit saying that we had 10 seconds counting down. All others except the pilot and his co-pilot were sitting in the main fuselage, with our seat belts on chatting. "Initiating detaching procedures" that

All 23 crew members were murdered or transformed into beasts. There was only the Robot left so I tried to drive it so fast but because it would raise the dirt, attracting attention to it, I activated the vacuum shield over it and flew it back to the STEED 7.It was a frightening experience to lose 23 members at the same time in front of your eyes, the captain and I were crying, not knowing what was next. We opened the door to the garage and let the Robot in.Those creatures saw the lights on our ship and rushed toward us. The captain quickly turned on the Vacuum shield over the ship and everything became invisible to the creatures. After few seconds he received orders of aborting the mission and heading back to the ISS.He launched the ship off the planet and he set course back home. I went to check the samples brought by the Robot, but I didn't touch anything, neither was I in the same room with the Robot.Just used grass room

The Anatomy of Wind: Beware! Green parrot everywhere
I don't know if I was still listening to what she was saying verbally, but one thing for sure, I was instead watching everything she said Visually! I could see her eating raw meat, with her fingers dripping blood while she licked them, yuck! That was disgusting. Inside my mind there was a loud audience, everyone giving their own suggestions about what I must do. I came to realize that all those nonsensical nightmares with Arachne-like women were actually true. That also explained the spidey Humanoid we saw lurking in pictures taken by the cameraman during the previous wedding proposal. After saying so, she stood up and walked toward me staring directly into my pupils, I could feel like staring directly into my soul. Even though I was afraid as heck, I resisted and let h

Mid-party, I also saw that parrot still hanging on the chandelier. That time I decided to ask mummy how she managed to be a fan of birds. “Hey mum, congratulations!” “oh thanks son. I’m the one supposed to be congratulating you” “no mum, I’m not referring to the marriage thingy” “What do you mean?” “I’m glad that you finally managed to get a parrot pet” “heck no, I own no birds. You know I’m allergic to their feathers right?” “Then what about that parrot on the chandelier?” “where? I see no parrots”
The Anatomy of Wind: Beware! Déclaration
A week later, as we agreed with both of our parents, it was the day that we were going to visit them. A Vibrant Saturday, everything seems disoriented. I didn’t expect a busy weekend like that, actually, Saturdays were the quietest of the week because the majority of our neighbors were home, but then, it was the Loudest one! The machines were whirling everywhere, peeking through the Needle-sized hole on my Welding helmet, I saw a monkey delivering packages to our address! Walking cars honking, cows driving trucks at insane speed, I even saw a Lady with half of a human and another half of a spider! She seemed familiar but I was in a hurry to catch my flight which was already in the sky. Then I saw a large pair of Scissors cutting strings attached to my arms, legs, and head!“babe……Babe….. Davis?” a steady voice of Taylor called.
The Anatomy of Wind: Beware! Surprise!!!
Six months later, It was my payday. It's a kind of Company routine that after a payday, almost all employees are given a week-off, then the Trainees or students in internships take over almost all of the work with few actual employees acting as supervisors. Well, it sounds crazy but that’s how we worked. Meanwhile, Taylor was unemployed but paid by the ministry of defense for some reasons I don’t know! Maybe it's compensation for doing experiments on an unwilling subject or something. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ Although Taylor was Cold-blooded when it came to Romantic issues, I loved her in the way she was. She allowed me to love her and accepted what I was offering. Frankly, that was enough, all-in-all she was So beautiful. That time I was ready to risk it all (well, not that RISK
The Anatomy of Wind: Beware! Permanent Loss
I spent the night without closing my eyes, watching over Corry, as she laid on the hospital bed, not talking. Her eyes were moving under her eyelids like when you’re dreaming, but she couldn’t move a muscle. I took my phone and read her a book. After a few minutes, her eyes stopped moving. I realized that she might be sleeping, so I stopped reading and laid down on the couch inside her bedroom. Before sleeping, I called Taylor. She told me that everything was okay, that she was coming to the hospital the next day. I also called my Parents (not the adopted ones) and it seemed like they did not have any idea of what was going on in the hospital. My mother told me that she was going to come to the hospital with Dina the day after. The night lasted fo

Sunday evening, the sun was fading away, illuminating the sky with it's beautiful Orange hue. Outside, Taylor and I were reading a book together, admiring the sky and breathing cooler air outside. Obviously, it was a beautiful evening and a nice moment to be, especially with a Partner. Everything seemed to be Normal, Until unexpected happened. My phone rang, and I picked it "Hello?... Hello… hello I can hear you," That was me trying to hear and figure out why Ms. Robinson, my adopted mother, was not speaking to me. After a short moment, about 40 seconds, I hung up and called her back. "hello?" I said "Hi Dave, it's me," answered my adopted sister Brittney. "aaawn! How are you, Babe?" I said smiling "I'm fine" she answered "Where is mommy?" I asked "at the hospital!" she said.

After that Survey, the next few days went downhill! Because we knew what makes each other feel loved, we tried to do it. In my perspective, it was an easy-going Experience because I already had that Romantic experience in me. Or rather compared to her!.Taylor tried all her best to take care of me and show me love in every possible way she could. One day she surprised me with an unexpected Gesture! It was Saturday, I was home because on weekends we don't work. She went to the store nearby to buy groceries and she bought me candy! Well, I'm too grown up to be eating candies, but the Audacity of her buying some candies for me made me fall for her surprise! That made me feel loved and happy for her.The next day I sent her an email, I called it "When love turns into addiction" which read:°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Coming back from the mission, I found out that Taylor was working with the National Defense force. They arranged training to train them so that they could hire every student from the third year, because there had been terrorist attacks on their base, and they ended up killing all Engineers in their laboratory. During their training, we had a fixed time for talking. In the morning before going to work I’d call her, and then in the evening after work. Everything followed a typical pattern until one day it all changed! One morning I called her as usual, and we
