"Yes please."CJ is on the phone."Postpone the meeting till next week.Something came up!" he says. "Tell the clients I'm busy and they'll have to wait till I come back... Good."CJ hangs up."You really don't have to be here," I mutter."Work is more important."CJ holds my hand and squeezes it. "You are more important."He puts back his hand around my shoulder and kisses the top of my head gently. I'm at a loss for words with all that's happening right now but I truly appreciate CJ being here for me when there's completely nobody.We are sitting on the hospital bench, waiting for the doctors.I lay my head on his chest, quiet, but wild sad thoughts running noisily through my mind.What if I lose my mom? I lost my biological nine years ago! And now I'm gonna lose my step-mom too? I mean, she's a won

I take the car keys from my handbag when I hear a soothing. "I thought you wouldn't like the car when I first bought it for you." I look sideways and I see mom. She's standing there, her smile sweet as ever. I grin at her broadly. "Ofcourse I like the car... You bought me on my birthday and it was everything I ever dreamed of." "You never said that when I was here..." That stings. "I loved... I love you mom," tears sting my eyes. "Please come back... I need you." She gets closer and she touches my cheek. I shut my eyes close and feel her warmth...Her love... I miss her... "I don't have to come back... I'll always be here. Watching over you." Tears stream down my eyes as I lift my hand to touch her but she vanishes. And I'm shaking. And crying. And my legs are wobbling. My hands are trembling and the key I was holding is down on th

It's Friday!!!!!I can't tell you just how much I have waited for this day. I even bought a pair of thigh-high black leather boots and a black leather jumpsuit that's exaggerating my butt a little bit.I look at myself one more time in the mirror.Hair. Check.Make-up. Check.Costume. Check.Now, what's left?Oh, some earrings and bangles. I take the accessories from my pink jewel box. I stare at the box and a wave of sadness engulfs me.I remember it like it was yesterday. Amira's first boyfriend had bought her a jewel box. And I was so envious that I used to steal it and hide it in my room just to watch it. I thought it was beautiful. Amira and I got into a fight every time she found it in my room after tirelessly searching the entire house. Mom learnt about this. And she bought both Amira and I pink jewel boxes. Amira sold hers to a friend. I kept mine. I wish I would have sold mine too... I wouldn't be thinking about

  TRENT   Her name was Lilith. The first girl I ever fell inlove with. She was Lilith. She was the most perfect little thing with blonde curls and a flawless skin with a fragile little body. In my mind, she was Snow White. My Snow White. The fairest of them all. We were both in the same class in kindergarten. I was six at the time and she was five. She was giggly and was friends with everyone. I was shy and an introvert. I couldn't approach her. I just used to sit at the back of the class and enjoy watching her like she was some interesting movie. I was fed up of the intense crush after a few months and finally decided to write her a letter. A love letter. It had a few words, four five words actually... "I LAV UUU, LILITH... CEDRIC." Then I sketched crooked drawings of

I'm seated at the table, next to Cedric. Jake and Nina are last to drag themselves lazily to the table. Jess is scowling at me, sitting right next to her husband.A middle-aged man by the name, Walter, is the chef and the one who set the table. According to Fidel, Walter and his family have worked for them even before he was born. Talk about loyalty.Walter has made fish and rice. The fish is so tantalizing that if I was just alone with CJ, I'd lick my fingers. But I'm with all these new people and I should have manners for the sake of CJ.Since Jess and I talked, I have been craving to put her on the spot. That's the only way I'll know if she was lying or not."Jess," I start. "Would you like to tell me what CJ told you he's planning to do to me?""What!" CJ is startled."Yea," I turn to CJ. "According to Jessica, you, are planning to do something to me."Jess interrupts. "I didn't say no such thing!"I smirk.
