True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful. ~Paul SweeneyAnthony"Where were you?" Charlotte huffed angrily walking up to me."Last I checked, I told you not to wait up." I responded and went into the bathroom taking a nice cold shower.When I got out, I went into my closet and put on my pyjamas bottoms before going back into the room that was lit by the moonlight emanating from the open curtains."Who is she?" Charlotte sighed."I beg your pardon?" I turned to face her."Her, who is she, what's her name?" She got up from the edge of the bed were she was seated and stood in front of me."What are you talking about?" I huffed not really in the mood to bicker."The woman you've been seeing.""Are you high or something." I felt her forehead but her temperature was normal. "Have you been smoking?""Of course not!" She snapped."You are bipolar." I rolled my eyes."Is she prettier than me?" Her frown deepened.I opened my mouth to respond but before anything could be said,
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. ~Ralph Waldo EmersonCharlotteMorning came and I pulled myself off the bathroom floor where I had spent the night. Groaning at the pounding headache I was experiencing, I took a look at myself in the mirror, with my hair that was now in its natural curls littering my face and big bags under my red swollen eyes I was a mess. The events of last night were still replaying on my mind and that made my eyes glossy with tears."It's time to move on Charlotte, just let him go." I told myself and took a few deep breaths.Taking a shower, I brushed my teeth, applied my makeup and dried my hair letting it rest in its natural curly state before going to my closet to pick an outfit that looked presentable.It was only Wednesday so I decided to wear cream pants and a white button down, I finished the outfit with black heels and a purse. Giving myself a last look in the mirror, I grabbed my things and went to the kitc
Build a dream and the dream will build you. ~Robert H. Schuller CharlotteEverything happened so fast, one minute I was backing away from Anthony and in the next he was kissing me roughly, my brain was just finding it difficult to digest everything. I tried to push him off but that only seemed to piss him off more, he grabbed my thighs placing my legs around his waist with one hand while the other wrapped around my throat. His actions made my lady bits clench and my panties dampen.I was so caught up with his that was slightly chocking me that I missed him untucking my shirt from my pants until he bit hard on my lower lip as though asking for entrance. I gladly opened my mouth and let his tongue devour me. The kiss became heated and intimate quicker than I thought, I was struggling to keep up with Anthony’s pace but tried my best to savor his the divine taste mouth.Breathless, I found the energy to push him away, but he wasn’t having it, I tugged at his thick loc
Build a dream and the dream will build you. ~Robert H. SchullerCharlotte"Chug! chug! chug! chug!" The girls cheered as I chugged down vodka as though it was water ignoring the burning on my throat."Fuck" I put the bottle on the counter unable to take any more."Wow!" The girls cheered."It's my turn." Taylor grabbed the bottle and put it to her lips while we cheered her on."Wooow!" She screamed handing the bottle to Riley who did the same.We had been drinking for a while now and judging from how much we had taken and none of us had started going crazy yet, I could tell we were highly tolerant to alcohol which was a great thing by the way."Men are stupid." Riley complained."Tell me about it." We all groaned.So turns out, all of us were having male drama."I hate the way they think we can always bend to their will and suck them off when the demand." Riley rolled her eyes."I know right, I hate the power they possess." Taylor groaned"Let's just forget about those useless stuck
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Accordingly, a 'genius' is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework. ~Thomas EdisonAnthony "Where the fuck is she!" I yelled at my men who were staring at me, fear evident in their eyes. "I swear if you don't bring her down here I'll blow all your brains out!"“Don calm down." Julio tried to calm me but that only fueled my anger.It had been a long week and the last thing I needed was to find Charlotte had gone missing when I got home. I had been dealing with a lot of unnecessary issues that would have not even occurred had everyone followed my instructions but as always, someone just had to make a mistake which only I could rectify and now I was paying for being away for so long."Shut the fuck up!" I growled at him. "How the hell can a girl sneak past all your grown asses, all of you, it’s just one girl for fucks sake!"“We are sorry Don.” One of the guards mumbled."Put Marcus o
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.~Thomas EdisonCharlotte"I snuck out, I'm sorry." I choked out while Anthony squeezed my throat making it difficult for me to take in oxygen."You snuck out." He repeated slowly."Yes, I'm sorry.""You will be sorry when I'm finished with you." He seethed tightening his grip on my throat."You are hurting me." My eyes becoming teary with each passing second. "Elio." I sobbed when he didn't let go.As if taken aback, he let go and took a step away from me.I brought my now red and swollen wrist up to my chest sobbing, it was throbbing badly and happened to be one of the four reasons I was now crying my eyes out, firstly, I felt like a dirty slut, secondly, I was afraid of what Anthony would do to me, I had never seen him so angry before and that petrified me. Thirdly, I felt like I had let him down and because of that, he would never like me again and lastly, I couldn't bottle up my emotions an
The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do. ~Thomas JeffersonCharlotte"Hey." I beamed when I saw Riley and Taylor who stood in the living room. Giving each of them a hug."Are you OK?" They asked worry written all over their faces."Yeah." I nodded. "What happened?" Taylor grabbed my gauze covered wrist."It's just a little bruises from Anthony holding them too tight." I assured them. "I'm fine really.""I'm so sorry." Riley sighed eyes filled with guilt. “This was all my fault.”"No it wasn’t, you didn’t have a gun pointed to my head forcing me to go with you. I snuck out on my own and these are the consequences, plus on the bright side I had fun." I smiled playfully pinching her cheeks."Kaleb!" I called and almost immediately he came. "Have someone serve the snacks I just made and bring it to the pool area." I told him."That's not-" He b
"We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated." ~ Maya Angelou-Charlotte-"Anthony." I stuttered swallowing the lump in my throat.“Hey princess.” He smiled stepping further into the room and shutting the door behind him. Judging from his smile, I took it that he had not heard my conversation with the girls with him as the main topic of discussion.“Guys I’ll speak to you later.” I spoke into the phone and hang up quickly before they could say anything that could make the situation awkward. I knew my friends and how blunt they could be sometimes, Ingrid especially, she had such a diahriour mouth sometimes.I internally groaned at the realization that they had overheard Anthony refer to me as princess, I knew for a fact they would tease about it me now. Pressing the power button and watching the screen go black, I placed my phone screen first on the table in front of me.“Yes.” I turned to face him again.“Who were you talking to?” He quizzed.“Ingrid and Paula.” I answ
