I woke up the next morning to find the bed empty. I went to the sitting room. Solo was already dressed and he was drinking coffee.“Hey baby, why are you dressed so early?." I asked him." Mr Kurtis called. He's going to have a meeting with us today. He wants us to be there earlier today. “" Okay.... When will you be back?. “" In the afternoon. “" Good bye. “ I told him and he dropped his cup on the table." I love you sweetie, take care of Kai and yourself.“ He told me. I watched him leave.I went to the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and I had my bath. I was still dressing up when I heard the knock on the door. Did Solo leave anything in the house that he should have carried. I tied a towel around my chest. I went to the door, I undid the locks and then I turned the door open, standing there was Kurtis. He walked past me.“Jeez, Solo just left, what if you met him here."“I saw his car leave, I knew he just left, I was outside."“ For how long?." I asked him.“N
Once again I was making lunch while Kurtis spoke to Solo. To keep my mind away from what was happening, I decided to bury myself in poems, poems that nobody had heard.'I know but I don't want to believe, that there is no such thing as love, I know it's true that love dosent exist but If believing in it is being foolish, then I want to be foolish, if being foolish is being happy, then I want to be foolish it's not everytime in your life that you have to be wise, sometimes you know what happens next, so why not close your eyes and fall blindly into love even though it comes with heartbreak(s), at least you were once happy, at least you were once foolish. ''I have the mind of a ninety year old but the heart of a three year old, I love desperately and I care quietly, I miss calmly and I wait patiently, I want truly and I think fastly, I think deeply, I listen, I understand truly, I judge with reasons, I'm calm, my heart is stupid, my mind is mature, I won't compare myself to a lonely fl
It was late afternoon already.“You're my mother..." I whispered to myself, I figured that if I wanted anybody to hear me, I had to speak louder but I couldn't find my voice. “My mother's name was Bridgette, was it her you gave... Was I the baby?." I asked her..., My mother, my real mother. Looking at her I didn't know what to say, we all didn't know what to say. We all looked ashen and spooked. I wasn't the only heir after all, I was the child of a lovely affair. Something in me spurred, gave life to light. She was my mother... I felt as if I was another person entirely, I didn't feel like my name was Darwinson Charleston Andersons.... No, I didn't feel like I had a name but I felt that I had a past a, strong past and there was a strong love that brought be to the world... Not the strange type Bridgette and Anderson had, finally I could call them by their first names... I whispered it out “Bridgette Andersons and Anderson Cooper Andersons." It sounded good to my ears. Noa is
It was morning. I woke up a little after dawn. I went out for a run and when I got back, everybody was already up. We were in my house in New York... All of us. My mum, my little brother, my elder brother Kai, my lovely Ará and me... All of us. “Good morning." I said to my mum.“Where's Ará?." I asked nobody in particular.“She's preparing breakfast." Kai said. I headed for the kitchen.I saw here there, handling some pots.“Good morning." I said to her walking into the kitchen.“Good morning." She said Smiling. “I woke up and I didn't see you, I figured you must have gone out for a run." " I did. “" Why don't you join me in making breakfast.“" Are you sure you don't want to have a cook or maybe just a house keeper and the house keeper can employ people to come and do some stuff. ““Remember what happened with Rosé..., Remember?." " I remember. ““ I don't want something like that to repeat itself and plus, I'm able to do these stuff on my own. We can just call peopl
My name is Darwin Andersons and I'm twenty three, I'm the only son of the Andersons family and the only heir to the family's riches. Since the time I was born all I've ever experienced was wealth and abundance, nothing less than that, and the advice I give to my close friends is this; nothing is better than having money and spending it, it can be on anything, women, cars…anything, but spend it.I enter into my office and I see Mark waiting for me, he was smiling.“Good morning." He said.“Good morning, why are you smiling at me like that, Mark?."“Guess…"“You know I'm not good at guessing."“Okay, we just employed Lisa George."“Who's that?."“You got to be fucking with me right now man."“I'm serious, I don't know who Lisa is."“She's like the hotest girl you'll ever see in your life, she looks like she's a low key stripper of some sorts but she's actually not, like she's professional, in an unprofessional way….“" That's enough, now, can I see her?.“" Sure, I could ring her desk
My dad was a calm and intelligent man, so wise that you could almost see the intelligence behind his eyes, something I had gotten from him, something I am very grateful for. But, staring at him now, the intelligence behind his eyes had disappeared and it was replaced with total confusion.“We're good, everything's good." He said wiping his sweaty forehead. It was obvious that things weren't good, I wasn't stupid, it made me angry to know that they were lying to me, his demeanor confirmed that, truly, something was going on between them, and it wasn't shallow.“I could as well tell you now." He said after a short while."Tell me what?.“ I asked him.“ What is happening to our family, son."" What is happening to our family?.“" It was something I did many years ago.“" Okay…tell me."“Years ago, a few months before you were born into our family, we were living in New York and your mum was about to have you. “ He said and paused, I watched him look through the window before he tu
I layed on my bed and stared at the ceiling, I stared at the ceiling but I wasn't seeing the ceiling. I was reminiscing about what my dad had told me earlier. I was trying to piece the puzzle to get a vivid picture, my dad had cheated on my mum and he got a pregnancy case out of his affair, the only thing to save the marriage was to leave the waitress and her unborn baby, just leave them and go down to Florida, raise me and then come up to Detroit and it was all my mum's idea.How unfair was that?.All these while I had a brother, and I was raised alone, in a giant house, amongst maids and artifacts…and they claimed they loved me and I had believed them, they lied to me, told me I was special, I was the only son, the only one to succeed the family and all it's riches.I tried to put a face to Hensley, how would he look like, talk like, how would he act like…. surely he would want his revenge.I hated competitions, I'm always the best, I didn't need to have to be in competition with h
“ I was born only two years after you and you think at the age of two, your parents would be dumb enough to tell me about it, huh?.“ He made a valid point.“Then, when did you hear about Hensley.““ome years ago, auntie mentioned it to me.““y mum mentioned it to you and you said that I was your true friend, I told you everything Mark.““ I told you the things you deserved to know.““The lies, I deserved to know the lies.“ Mark had started to talk but I put my hand up to stop him. I couldn't hear anything other thing that he had to say, I couldn't stand him.“No more, I don't want to hear any more from you Mark, leave my house."“It's fine, I'll leave, but, we have to do something about Hensley and we'll do it with or without you, have a nice day, Darwinson."" Have a nice day, too, Mark.“ I could hear the icy edge of my voice, it scared even me. I watched the colour leave his face and he turned around briskly, my cousin was walking out of the door and it was as if I was only
