The Powerful Dustin Rodriguez The dinner 1
Even after Alara tried to hide the worry in her eyes, she knew her mother could tell she was worried about something. Her mom could see her emotional current like it was lightning. She often guessed that was how she was always the eye of her storms, a little clarity and perspective could always do that.“Mom, stop staring like that. I really am okay.” She said to her mother.“Well I can tell okay, no matter how you try to hide it, I can always tell, ever since you were little. And you were so bad at hiding your emotions.” her mother said to her and Alara found out that she was laughing now.“Even Dustin makes that joke every once in a while too mom.” Alara said, grinning foolishly now.“When my Dad skipped out of our lives you became our mom. Not because you haven't always been our mom even when dad was around, but because you spent every waking hour earning enough money to pay the mortgage and buy groceries. Sometimes I think back to how I used to whine for the cool stuff other kids

The umbrella snapped closed, releasing a gravity defying plume of small droplets. Dustin pulled down his hood and shook his hair to gain some life back into his flattened locks.Alara hugged him as he came back. “Wow, you need to get yourself all dried up!” She exclaimed upon seeing him. They went up to her room together and got him changed. She had to get one of Paul's clothes so Dustin could get changed into it. Meanwhile, Mark had just come in. He was soaking wet but he just took off his coat and sat down. His mouth salivated as he saw the delicious looking meal that was presented before him.“Wow, all this for me? I must say that you are now very smart, miss Smith.” He said to Tania. “Just seat down already. This dinner is not for just you. We have a very important guest in our midst too.” She said, not looking nice and reserved at all. “The way you talk sometimes, it's scary. You know that, right? So tell me, why have you been waiting for me since then.” He asked her.“We were

Dustin walked in, and was already expecting the face that was there with him. “Hey what are you doing here now?” Dustin frowned at the face that was in front of him. Mark was looking so proud of himself now. “Have you not learnt your lesson yet? You mentioned and even confidently that you could get me out of here, so why are you here now? Have you suddenly changed your mind?” He frowned at mark, trying to understand the expression in his eyes.“I came here to remind you who the real boss is.” Mark said at last after studying him for a while. “Let me tell you something that you don't seem to know.” He said to Dustin and was glad that he listened. “You don't seem to know this, but I did a little research on you, and I have found out that you worn here. But I don't know exactly what you do here though, I don't need to know.” He said confidently and Dustin nearly shook his head for him.His lack of inquiry was what would be his doom. If only he had been very smart enough to study the his

Mark noticed that his phone had been ringing for a while now. He didn't want to pick it up but finally had no choice but to do so as people were beginning to stare at him and wondering why he was ignoring his calls.He did not mean for anyone to tag him as a weirdo. He frowned and picked up the call.“Why the hell have you been ignoring my calls! Huh, mark? What the hell is your problem? Or do you want to say that you don't have my money with you?” The person said angrily to mark.Mark rolled his eyes. “Of course I should have known that the only reason you would call me was only because of money. Well don't you worry yourself. I will take care of this, even before you will realize it. I told you that I have a deal to win, and once I do that, you will have your money already available for you! Now don't try to get me angry, Mr. Smith. I'm hanging up now.” He said and was about to hang up when he heard the man's screaming.“Hey, if you hang up and don't pay my money, I swear it that yo
The Powerful Dustin Rodriguez Truth
If I am a house, it is built of love, and the floor is my faith in who I am. Your cynicism ate away at the walls and hit the floor until one day it cracked. The perfect house everyone knew and loved fell completely. Recovery was the biggest challenge I have ever achieved, and only possible because I love my family, community and nature. I rebuilt my house, a brick at a time; I put in new floors and polished them to a homely brown. There are times I still find that there is a brick missing here and there, or perhaps the floor needs bringing back to a shine, but I made it.Nothing is ever free, is it, my love? Everything you ever give me is a debt, "remember who gave that to you, remember I did that for you." Every conversation is a subtle competition you are never prepared to loose, for even the smallest of infractions can bring on your anger. You take all the love I give you like it is your right to have it, and in return show only the most superficial of understanding. You dominate m

“Well, I don't trust this person. We should get rid of him anyway!” Dustin was saying angrily to Alara. “Every emotion is okay, helpful in the right situation. The dark emotions are like salt, just a pinch adds flavour, yet too much ruins the entire dish. Envy can be motivation to better the self, when combined with being a good sport and wanting what is best for others, it can bring positive results.” Alara began to say in proverbs and it hurt Dustin's ears so much. He didn't want to head that at all.“Well as much as I would love to agree with you, I know that you are right, Dustin, but Tim and I go a long way. I think I know why he is like this.” Alara said now and was surprised that Dustin had been listening. She went on, “have I told you why the two of us go a long way?” She asked and waited for him to talk. For a moment, she could have sworn she had imagined him shaking his head in denial, and she almost smiled at that thought.Dustin frowned but he knew he wanted to hear Alara

"Well, what can I say? I'm honored." Dustin said. He watched Tim laughed.Tim glared at Dustin, eyeing him mischievously,"I mean, I see you're all dressed up. Did you borrow this outfit to come look for a job?" "I suddenly don't feel oblige to answer your questions, Tim." Dustin rolled his eyes.This brought a smirk to Tim's face. "How rude of you. You'll need my help, and here you are spewing nonsense.""Me? Need your help? And why is that?" "Isn't it obvious? I am Tim, CEO of tims motors! I am a king."He replied proudly."King? More like a pauper." Dustin found himself muttering out loud."What did you say??" "I said your suit is cheap. Now get out of my sight." Tim chuckled. "I see you've come to Matyrs. For what? To beg for another cleaning job? Well let me tell you this. I work here, and we don't employ filths! So get lost.""You won't be the one to send me packing, thank goodness you're not my boss." Dustin replied."Yet. I'll be your boss soon, and I'll get you fired immed

New thing
Dustin tried to calm his wife down. He realized that she had been truly angered by Esther sudden behavior for wanting to create a grand wedding for Tom and not her. It was truly devastating and he couldn't deny that. "Alara?" He called out to her, knocking gently on the door. His voice remained as warm as early spring, as if her heart beat so steadily even though she took a different view from him. She simply said this was her way of doing things. He could see her balk at first, so accustomed he was the to ways of Alara and her fiery temper. He was different, because he absorbed things and then responded more than reacted, dampened situations rather than adding to the flames. And so before he knew it everything was happy again, it was love all around instead of the bickering he was so accustomed to. It was a sense of calm he grew to love.And he would be teaching it to his wife now. "This path of life is challenge enough," he began to say. Dustin remembered a little of what his moth

Lies
On this cloudy morning there are growing patches of blue, the sort of hue that is soft and bright at the same time. Though beneath the sheet of cloud is a grey that deepens to steel, the leading edge is a brilliant white, as if it is the pages of a new book ready for any curious eye. So, on this day that could bring rain or sunshine, I'm hoping for both, for the chance of a rainbow and to feel so much more because the day is blessed with clouds.Light grew steadily outside until the curtains glowed just the same as stained glass. Kevin stuck his head behind the fabric to survey what the day might bring. The road was slick with water, though the puddles remained quite still, no hint of rain still falling. Above the clouds were still grey but without the denseness of yesterday, allowing patches of blue to form.In good moods a writer may paint words that are fine wine and soft music; words that contain more healing medicine than all the drugs created by man. They are clear water over ro

Time
Paul set out to visit Dustin that day, and as he arrived their doorstep, he decided to make a phone call to his sister so she wouldn't say he came in unaware. The phone rang a few times and she still hadn't picked up. When he learned to soothe his impatient self, the rewards were significant. His focus improved, and his relationships became more mellow, and everything in his day worked that little bit better. It made all the difference. Over time he saw others learning from him, relaxing, and the vibe of his family took a turn for the better. She still wasn't picking up for whatever reasons. Finally at the last ring, she picked up. "Yes, Paul ? What do you want?" Asked her voice in a quite impatient manner, like she had been in a hurry. "Where are you to be hurrying me like that?" He asked, wondering why his sister was using that manner to refer to him. Then it hit him. She didn't really like him as well as her husband, and he certainly couldn't blame them at all. He probably would

The Queens
Esther was with her other queens, and they had nearly ended their meeting. She listened carefully to Regina's silly talks about how she was powerful and well respected. She purposely pointed fingers at Esther, stating that she had been less important just because she was going through some rough times. Esther was silent all through the time because she didn't even bother to pay attention to their silly talks. All she could focus her kind was on her family. She realized that her family had been falling apart slowly. He husband had been acting strangely towards her for reasons she couldn't even explain. But then, she hoped it had been for a great cause. She couldn't even put her mind on that for long. Then there was the issue with her daughter and then with her enemies, Fernando and ezra. alara wasn't safe at all.

"Well, we don't have a head queen so technically, I'm speaking on behalf of her." "Well I don't agree. Until we have a head queen, you don't have the right to strip me off my membership." She said, still standing strong on her word. She was terrified on the inside of course! But she would not show her weaknesses. Regina frowned. "Well until then. But for now, being the owner of my house I say this to you. Get out of my house!" She ordered and more laughter grew wild again. Esther couldn't help but feel nothing but shame. But she wouldn't be waking away just like that. She strode over to Regina then stood face to face with her. "You're going to regret this Regina. In fact, all of you will regret this. I will make an attendance of everyone of you in this room. Regina, Dana, camera woman Anna, Rachel, Danielle, in fact all of you. And I remember vividly of the faces in the room here. I know all of you. Mark my words, you will regret this." And with that, she stomped out sitting the do

The Smiths
Alara and her husband had been expecting the peculiar twain, Ezra Alonzo and Trevor, his son in law. Why they had been asking for an audience with Dustin , he didn't know. All he knew was that they were up to no good. Finally, they arrived and he led them to the living room. He had told Alara to remain inside because his instincts had been right. They only wanted to scan around to check everywhere, and most importantly, they wanted to find out what his wife knew. He was almost certain that they would try to find out a little too much and he didn't know how, so for that reason, he had asked that his wife remained inside. "Welcome Mr Ezra Alonzo and Trevor." dustinsaid, and this brought both faces to exchange awkward stares. dustinknew they were probably wondering how he had known their names.

Message
For the first time in weeks, Mindy made her way over to Dustin again, and she couldn't even explain how exactly she was feeling. For one reason, she was angry. Very frustrated that he was still married to his goddamn wife! She loved him and would always do. And yet, not even for once had he reciprocated her feelings. Heaving in a deep sigh, she advanced forward to make a knock on the door. "Don't worry, Mindy. Breath it in," and with that, she made a knock on the door. It hadn't been a loud bang, rather barely more than a slight knock, but almost immediately, the door had flung wide open. "Oh God, you're back..." He was standing before her, staring like he had been day dreaming, probably wondering what the fuck she had been doing at his footstep. "Oh I thought you were someone else," he said so apologetically. That frustrated her even more. He had probably been excited thinking that she was his dear wife! She had better not show her true emotions to avoid failing on the first day o

The breakup
"This relationship, Dustin, should be a relation-ship, or a kinship - something that makes us family. I want it to be something that unites our friends, our relations, and not become as a boat cast adrift away from those we know and love. What is good builds up goodness, heals and includes others. What is good is a benefit to us and our community, to the world. It is how we let this love for one another spill out, make a light for others to share. So, my love, hoist the sail; we're homeward bound.""Wait you just thought of saying something as compelling as this to me because what?" He said to her, half shocked. She only smiled back, her eyes and dimples crinkling as she did. Alara was very beautiful although she never seemed to listen to him whenever he made mention of it to her. "Thank you a lot for the comforting words. I won't forget. You know," but he stopped then grinned as he thought of what to say and he knew already that she might have not been too impressed. "But then, e

Her job
"Sir, I have done as you've asked. What is your plan now?" Mindy asked as she saw Dustin talking to himself. She sat with him. He didn't even do as if someone was there, just minding his own business and calculating now and what he would do to his rival. Sometimes she always wondered what it was that was truly going on in that mind of his, but she knew he was very smart and full of advices and plans. And she was always so glad that she was now on their team.Business had to ask themselves if they were exploiting the population or uplifting them, especially in relation to the young and if not, it failed. For what is psychological maturity other than learning how to make wise choices to protect others? The glorification of greed was as a golden tricycle being pedalled in circles at the end of a cul-de-sac... yet believing itself a fancy car shooting into the far horizon. Greed is always the product of a brain with underdevelopment of its more highly evolved features. But there he was
