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
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. He decided to ease the tension a little. "I was told of your names before you arrived." dustinsaid, and he could see the calmness in their eyes as they each have a sigh of relief. Ezra bro
"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
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. And she felt like a terrible mother for not being able to do anything about that. There was always something to do. She would gain power no matter the cost. What she needed
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
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
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
"Can you just be sensible for once in your life!" a young man not more than a year older than Dustin yelled at him.He couldn't do anything right again. Being a cleaner in that restaurant had brought nothing but stains on him everywhere he went. People never respected him, but he didn't mind. All thanks to his boss too, Michael, who always embarrassed him everywhere he saw him.A year ago, his wish was granted to him. He got married to a beautiful woman, Laura and he had been content with that. Yes, he was poor and needed money, which was why he was hardworking and tried all his best. Dustin was a graduate with a great result, but finding a good job had just been too hard. "I'm sorry sir." He quickly apologized to his boss. "It's just that, I need this money, and you'll remove it from my salary! If only you could give me a small loan sir, I would really like that.""Useless man! Did you not hear of the crises our restaurant is facing? How can you still ask me such a ridiculous requ
