“I do miss him,” I said, licking the mint chocolate chip ice cream off the top of my lip. I was chilling in my house for the weekend, preparing to leave later in the evening to visit my parents. We shared Sunday dinner together, talking about anything and everything. Our recent family talks revolved around Jenny’s wedding, and it was exhilarating to think of her as a bride.“Has he reached out since then?” Rita asked. We were on Skype, catching up on each other’s lives as we did every month. Rita had gotten the chance to join Britain’s best fashion designers board, and she was to stay in Knightsbridge until their first project was done. I lived in Britain through her stories, which were not as fun as she had hoped since she was drowning in work most of the time.“Mm-mmh!” I shook my head, letting the ice cream melt in my mouth before swallowing. Rita was inquiring about Terrence who had left Atlanta to go back to Britain. He was on a search for his biological parents, and as much as i

“When do you think you and Lucas will make things right?” Aunt May asked, her voice stern and final as she spoke to Charlotte who was bending over her garden of daphne. She looked up for a brief moment as if tuning her ears to Aunt May’s words before she avoided her gaze again.“Hmm, I don’t know. I don’t think about it.”“Darling, you can’t keep hurting yourself just because of your pride.” Charlotte looked at Aunt May, her face furrowing in fake hurt as if the words falling on her ears were new and painful for her. “It will only leave you with regret once you let go of him again. And I do not wish to see you sad again for another ten years, my sweet girl.”“Oh, Aunt May!” Charlotte cried out, closing the distance between her and Aunt May who was pruning her vegetables in the left corner of her garden. Winter had left most of her garden pale as only the daphne bloomed, coloring the right corner of her garden as the rest of it only had green plants to show.“Listen, child. The only re

I dashed into the house, swinging the door behind me as I walked over to where her body lay. My gaze seemed to miss everyone else in the room, only landing on her face. It was hard to tell how cold her skin felt as she still looked as radiant as she always did.She was covered from neck to toe in her colorful blanket, which she knitted with so much grace as if she was preparing to hold onto it as she took her last breath.“She asked me to come, and I was late. If only I had come earlier as she begged me to, she would not have died alone.” I cursed out, tears leaving my eyes as my heart swelled with anger and regret. I was speaking to no one in particular, my gaze remaining glued on my grandmother’s body.My knees felt weak, pushing me to the floor as my face fell on the couch next to her arm. I cried loudly, asking Aunt May to forgive me for being late. I knew she was deaf to my apologies, but all I wished for at the moment was for her to raise her cane and whoop me for my stubbornnes

MAY ANDREA BENJAMIN14TH APRIL 1923 – 19TH SEPTEMBER, 2015LOVING MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, AND FRIEND.‘We shall meet again, in the place where flowers never die.’Aunt May’s ashes were carried quietly in a heart-shaped ceramic urn that bore a colorful polish on the surface, as colorful as the life she had lived. The ceremony was attended by the Manning family and also the Wilsons too who had flown from New York to support Lucas.No one was dressed in black attire as the funeral was held to celebrate Aunt May’s life instead of mourning her death. Lucas and Charlotte held hands throughout the entire cremation ceremony, looking like the most adorable couple in all of Atlanta.Lucas Benjamin carried the ashes all the way back to Aunt May’s house, holding the urn close to his chest to feel Aunt May’s embrace one last time. He had not shed any more tears in the past three days since her death, wearing a stern look on his face all through.He tried shedding off the blame that clung to his skin,

It had been a week since Aunt May’s ashes were scattered in her garden, and everyone was slowly and reluctantly getting back to their daily lives. I could still feel her void around me, but I knew I had to move on with my life as she would have wished.Her absence mostly hit me at work when I craved to hear her advice on something but could not reach her. Still, I lived. I visited her garden whenever the pain got overbearing, but recently, my visits to her had been full of joy and peace.“I finally made up with Lucas,” I told her, weeding out on her farm as I enjoyed the cool weather. Winter was fading, and spring made her flowers blossom brighter than I had ever seen them. “He and I are back to being friends,” I giggled as I remembered the last kiss we had shared back at the airport when he left for New York. I was sure Aunt May knew I was lying when I called us friends.“He said he will be back for me.” I lifted the batch of weeds off the ground and emptied them into the bin outside

“I have to say, I am quite offended Lotte!” I said as I watched her undress. I had traveled to Atlanta to spend some time with her as the office was a bit more settled into the new quarter. I sat leaning on the headboard of her bed, my arms locked in front of my chest, ogling her naked body.My eyes darted from the floor to her legs as she stood near the bathroom, wrapping her body in a thin towel. We were yet to be intimate, and unlike all the women I had been with in my life, I was ready to wait for her. For all eternity if asked.“Hey, I’m sorry!” she cried out. ”I already told you, we did not know he was going to be there. It was a surprise to everyone.” She got inside her bathroom. I stood up from my position in the bed, walked inside after her, and sitting on the bathroom counter.“Oh Lotte, you don’t need to protect my feelings,” I joked, enjoying the look on her face when she was flustered. The shower was walled with translucent glass that allowed me to enjoy the sight of her

“Tell me what you need me to do, and I will be happy to,” Lucas whispered in her ear, causing a blush to form on her cheeks as the sound of his voice. She had always wanted a man to take charge in her bed, and she had dreamt about that man multiple times.She had heard his voice before, felt his touch on her skin, and seen his frame on top of her. And as he looked at Lucas – filled with desire in his eyes, touching her with tenderness and care, talking dirty to her but still loving her right – she knew the man whose face she had not been able to see before. And she loved him more with her in her bed rather than in her dreams.“Make love to me, Lucas,” she said to him.And he did. Every night.And in the morning, he would wake up and stay by her side as they prepared breakfast together. She made omelets and fried the sausages as he squeezed the juice and made the coffee. She washed the dishes as he dried them from the rack to the cupboards.She dusted the windows while he vacuumed the

Lucas and I arrived at the house earlier than Jenny and Anthony. Our dinners turned out to be an extended family affair and I was falling in love with every moment we shared. The relationship between our parents was also blossoming into something beautiful, and it was a sight to behold.Through these dinners, we got a glimpse of their love story before us, and now, gawking at them as they held hands and shared kisses unashamedly before us, it was an imagination worth perceiving.“Oh, son! Good to see you again.” My father stood up from his seat to greet Lucas with a father-son embrace. I could tell it was still overwhelming for him to receive that sort of affection, and as much as he often denied it, his eyes filled with water whenever he was addressed as a son.“My dear, your young husband is here!” he called out for my mother who came rushing from the kitchen. I laughed as I watched her promenade towards Lucas, her arms wide spread for a hug. She had a kitchen towel on her shoulder,
