“So you’re a lesbian and how did your father take it?”They were still in the kitchen cooking the meal and Josephine took off her jacket showing off all her tattoos, “not well since he didn’t know I was a lesbian till I was 20 and that’s when he sent me to Korea,”She put the meatballs on fire, “and why did he send you to Korea?..., did he think it will help in some way,”“Yeah, I thought it will help me come back to my senses but I didn’t,”“Oh no?”“Yeah,”They laughed.“So tell me about when you first found out about your sexuality,”She grimaced, “don’t go there, I don’t want to remember it,”“Uhn…tell me, I promise to give you more meatballs,”Josephine smiled giving in and nodded, “Okay, I’ll tell you,”She sat by the counter.“I was around fifteen when I first found out my sexuality and it was with my best friend who didn’t see me in the same light so… we stopped being friends,”“Oh, shit,”“Yeah, that’s what I thought too until I met Andrea in college. She was this bright beau
Jaxon sipped the cup of coffee he had bought that afternoon as he looked through documents in the restaurant that was Starbucks café. He paused in his drink.He had a lot on his mind that he didn’t want to think about but he just had to. There was the fact that his uncle had been disturbing him every day, paying a visit to the company as if to gauge the extent of their work and that was stressing him out.Then there was also the fact of his wife. He had slept with her and now he was ignoring her for no reason if he asked him. Just that he didn’t want to let that feeling or emotion happen between them. He loved Erin and there was nothing that was going to change.If only he hadn’t written that ridiculous note on her bra. Yes, he remembered it and he was going to blame it on the hangover. He hadn’t been thinking when he did that and had just acted out on impulse because of how cute he could remember she was when she was flustered.He sighed placing his hands on his head, he was an idiot
Alva woke up the next morning feeling a start of headache in her head and sat up on the bed wincing. She had a lot on her mind, a lot, and didn’t know what to do with it.First, there was the trance that had felt quite surreal and was now playing in her mind making her wonder if it was time to see her therapist.She remembered that the therapist had advised her to come to her later when she was all grown up and able to accept the trauma that happened to her years ago and she was ready.According to her, the subconscious of her mind was the only thing keeping her away from that memory and it could only be her acceptance that would bring it out.She sighed.There was also the fact that she had had her outburst with Jaxon making things awkward and had not paid him any attention ever since, she wondered if that was the right decision.She just couldn’t fathom that she had probably fallen for him and was now vulnerable to his actions.She sighed packed up her hair and stood, she would just
Josephine sat in front of the office desk cracking her fingers as she sat down and turned on the computer. Jaxon stood beside her watching and becoming curious, “what exactly are you doing?”“Checking a theory, by the way, do you run a system whereby your computer controls all the other computers in the company?”“Yes, it was recently installed to help me ascertain the websites well and monitor the bandwidth,s”“Thought as much,”“What do you mean?”Her fingers started clicking on the keyboard ignoring him and he became even more curious. He would have never thought to ask his sister when the problem first started but now that she was here tapping the keyboard, he knew she could find the cause.He sighed, “You’re quite good…”“Yeah, it’s what I do,”“So let me in on what you’re doing, what are you doing?”“I want to be sure it’s what I think before I let you in, so stop being curious,”“Fine, I’ll wait,”He went to his couch sitting by the desk until she was done and she called him, “
Jaxon wrapped his arms around Erin’s waist that evening as they kissed in the corner of the kitchen and he ignored the phone that was ringing on the counter “you’re so beautiful,”She smirked drawing him to her lips, “I know right,”“You’re being proud,”“Whatever,”They kissed each other passionately touching their bodies and he ripped the shirt off her.“Jeez, you didn’t have to do that,”He smirked and bent his head to kiss her neck only for the phone to start ringing again, “Fuck who could it be?”He groaned removing his hands from her waist and picked up the call to cuss the person out.“Where are you right now?”He gasped at the familiar tone, “dad?”“I said where are you right now?”“I’m uh...I’m doing something somewhere,”“Well stop doing whatever you’re doing and come over to the house now with Silas, I mean now and I won’t wait long for either of you,”He cut the call making Jaxon concerned, “why could he have called?”“Is it urgent?”He nodded to Erin who had asked the que
It didn’t get better the next day it worsened to some extent making Alva groan on the chair she sat on. She sighed.“What is it now?”She faced Jessie who sat beside her, “uhn?”“Why are you sighing so much and you’ve held your stomach since you got here, is something wrong?”“No, not really, I’m just tired and have been having cramps since yesterday, I think I need a little rest,”“Are you sure?”“Yes,”“Then wait for me to clear up this arrangement I’m doing, we would go home together and have a rest then okay?”“Sure, take your time,”She nodded and left for her assistant who stood in the corner taking notes.“Have you taken the measurements of the corners?” Jessie asked and the assistant nodded showing her the notes.Alva on the other hand laid her head on the table to take a little nap and took in the decorations of the area where Jessie was holding her next event planning. It was a wedding reception and she had to say the decorations were going fine.She brought out her phone to
He approached the bed after she had left and watched Alva sleep in a fitful position. He wondered what could have made her sick, possibly not his action right?He shook his head, that was not it.He looked at the towel that was spread over her head and loosened his tie, he had his work cut out for him alright.But he didn’t know how serious it was until he took the towel from her head, it was steaming hot, “What the…”He dipped his finger into the water and found it to be hot too, “wow,” He quickly poured the water and got another one from the bathroom adding blocks that he found beside the bed.He wondered if she was always this sick or just this hot when running a temperature. He dipped the towel and squeezed it placing it on her head.She moaned at the coldness and tossed on the bed. She looked so fitful sleeping on the bed but after a few changes of the towel, she turned peaceful and he went downstairs to get something to eat.He was starving and needed something to replenish afte
Silas thumbed through the detailed document the marketing and strategies manager had placed before him that afternoon and looked up, “So this is the layout of the plan, right?”“Yes sir,”“Could you summarize it a bit?”“Yes sir, so this first part is basically talking about using the media and other social influences to get the message that we are back on our feet out into the public, we plan to use television stations and billboards and that’s pretty much it. The next part is talking about rewarding our outstanding clients and giving out discounts to them on the purchase of Mbps. Also, the number of bandwidths sold to tier 2s would be increased to increase sales in the long run,”“Hmm, how much do you think would take care of that?”“To give a detailed demonstration on the plan, we would need about 1 million dollars for starters and maybe more in the long run,”“Okay, I’ll present your ideas to Mr. Jaxon when he comes and you can get started then, you know we need his final approval
