“What do you think he is telling her?” Maria asked as we stood at a distance.We thought it best to give them a chance to talk this one out. We have done our best and will keep trying to make their relationship work, but with things like this one, they needed to deal with it between themselves.“I’m here with you, Maria.”“But you were in this situation before. Don’t forget you once had to tell me you had powers, and I had to leave most of my life with us running from things and people that wanted you dead,” she smiled as if to mock me.“The thing is, you loved me and you love me. I didn’t have to worry about a lot. I told you what I said and then things unfolded from there,” I wrapped a hand around her shoulders.“She also loves him. I’m sure they will be fine. Let’s give them a chance to work it out,” she spoke.We turned to walk away and give them more space, “she is his x-girlfriend Maria. X?” I emphasized.“Where the hell do you think you two are going?” Koko shouted. “So, when d
“Merry Christmas,” she spoke and kissed me as I rubbed my sleep from my eyes. “Boy, you slept. I have been here for some time now,” she added as she walked to open the windows in the room. “You need to be up, Jacob and Amanda have prepared something special for us,” she spoke and threw my clothes on the table.Finally opened my eyes and saw her in a long blue dress that swept the floor as she walked. Then her hair danced as it sat on top of her behind.Just smiled, noticing she was here with me now. I didn’t even notice the time she went, except for when she told me she was not coming for the night.“Merry Christmas, dear,” I walked over and wrapped my hands from behind. “I missed you,” I kissed her on the neck and her beautiful fragrance washed my nostrils, pulling me closer to her. “And my little boy,” I rubbed a hand on her stomach.“Justine, I needed to stay with her,” she turned and popped my nose. “I missed you too. I mean, who wouldn’t want to spend time with you,” she smiled.
I sat looking at Maria as she smiled and laughed while playing with kids at the NGO. It was glorious, and I was happy she was happy. She needed this child, she might have been wanting one for years now.After the play, we decided to stick around and see how everything pans out. To play with the kids and just get to know why Amanda and Jacob love the place very much.Looked to the side and saw Pit talking to Koko, she was still upset with him, but she was open to talking and she didn’t let that affect her part in the play. They both did great, actually.Since I couldn’t do anything about hearing whatever they were saying, I gave up and just sat there thinking to myself. I was the only one without someone to talk to or to play with. Only the little guy I was holding in my hands.He was about a year old and had enough weight for a child his age. With short black perfect hair.Smiled at him as he did the same. Then played with him for a while before giving him to the nanny.“Why are you s
“I know it was hard for you. But he will be fine,” Maria spoke as she got ready for bed.I just sat on the bed, looking straight ahead. “It is not about him being okay. I know Dream will rescue him. I mean, the woman will burn the whole kingdom if she has to.” I spoke with a forced smile.“Then why is my husband looking all grumpy and sad? What is making you look like that if not our first-born son Carl?” She asked, walking to me.“That he called me and I failed him. I know we talked about it and I’m okay with being here. I love it here. I’m just scared he will be upset with me and disappointed that I failed him,” I explained to her, choosing my words nicely so as not to make her upset again.She walked over and wrapped me in a hug as she sat next to me, “I know that. I know how much he means to you and believe me, he means the same to me. And thank you for not going. For staying with us. Also, Carl will be upset. Heck, he will come here even for that,” she smiled.He looked at her, “
Sat in the leaving room with Roland opposite me sitting next to Maria. While Pit and his grandparents sat on the other side.Well, just to make him chill with Pit, I had to call him and talk to him about it before he showed up here. And since he wanted to have an experience of a lifetime, he also came by flight with Vykalia.And I didn’t even understand what was happening to him. On the other hand, he left Dream on their wedding day, and here he was with his x wife.Was he doing all this for Carl?“Justine, we have reasons to believe you haven’t been doing okay here. We heard you have been wanting to go home when we allowed you two to come here because you need a break and because of that one,” Vykalia spoke.Well, me and her haven’t really had a heart to heart conversation like I have with Roland. She was just Carl’s mother to me and that was that.And the only reason she was still staying with me was because I wanted Carl to get to know her mother. Because I wanted him to experience
“Maria, I know your family has done so many things that would make you want not to forgive them. But I also know you. You have a heart of gold,” I told her as I took her upstairs because I needed to talk to her alone.The rest remained downstairs and Roland wanted to take a look at Pit’s grandparents. He said he doesn’t trust Pit that much. He needed to confirm something before allowing the man into our lives again.She just sat there, not even listening, I presume. I know how much she needed this, even when she didn’t want to acknowledge it. I saw the look in her eyes when Roland said her parents have been coming to apologize to her.“Maria,” I walked and sat next to her, holding her hands. “I know it hurts and believe me you I do feel the same. What they did to your sister and her unborn baby was bad. They treated me like crap, for God’s sake. But as Roland always says, we never give up on family,” I told her and wrapped her in a warm embrace.Then, after a while, she just began cry
“Roland, this is a new year, I need us to start on a fresh perspective, okay? No lies, no secrets. You need to tell me what is happening. As in now,” I told him, but he was looking down. Then I turned to Vykalia who was looking head up, “Vykalia, I know you and I have never had that heart to heart conversation, but I also know you know a lot of what happens in my life than I do myself, and whatever he is hiding from me you also know,” I told her.She looked at her husband as they sat on my bed. She rubbed his back soothingly, then leaned closer and whispered something to him.He looked up at me, but said nothing either ways. He tried to open up, but closed his mouth again. Failing to formulate any word.Was whatever they were hiding that too much for me to handle? They have told me pretty much far worse things than whatever they might be hiding. And Roland knows me enough not to his things from me for the sake that I will be scared or I can’t take it.“Roland, I will take whatever it
We stood in the midst of the person I was never expecting to see here. Well, I was thinking she was going to find us in one way or the other, but not so soon.She sat on the couch while the rest of us stood. I was more mesmerized by her courage and dedication. The audacity she had to come here knowing too well I was going to teach her a lesson.“Monica, what are you doing here? I thought we talked about all this. What do you want?” I asked, walking to her. “I felt pit for you and didn’t finish you when I had the chance. But I didn’t ask you to follow me and start bothering me again,” I told her and stood three feet from her.She just smiled, looking at Maria, “your close friend is your worst enemy. Now I believe,” she spoke and stood up. Then she walked a few paces away from us before turning to look at me. “That is not why I’m here, though. I didn’t appreciate the betrayal. But gave me more time to work on my art,” she began.I never knew she was powerful. She wasn’t, actually. The o
