“Her name is Erika banks. She is actually a very influential woman, I mean I didn't know that before you know. Well, maybe Bianca was able to convince me a bit but–”

“where the hell is Bianca now? Huh?” Dustin said angrily.

“I know you hate her. I know she was a big influence in our misunderstandings but I can assure you that there's a reason for all of this. I know, try me.” she said. She looked a lot more at ease now as if she knew Dustin would already help her.

“Okay then. What's this reason huh?” Dustin said.

“Well Bianca said she has a big crush on you. She said she likes you! Can you imagine that?” she scoffed and waited for Dustin to say more. He said nothing and it made her frown. “What? Well, say something okay?”

“I don't have anything to say actually. I know that you're lying okay. What do you mean by that? Bianca hates the hell out of me and now you're saying she might have a crush on me?” He scoffed.

“I'm serious. She's only jealous that we're together. She tries to separa

    "This chocolate heart hasn't once melted because the world has been so cold; yet here you come with the warmth of spring and I feel the softening." Laura said as she made her way over to Dustin. He was still dazed a bit that she was around."What are you talking about?" he frowned at her."In mathematics, when we have functions with limits and we define our terms. Philosophical statements require such things for the same reasons as math. For instance, common words such as "love" have many meanings to many people. Additionally "love" comes in many forms, from the interpersonal, to community and global levels. Without this precision, a simple statement can be used in opposing arguments, thus confusing rather than elucidating the human reasoning.""And If I ever cross my heart... if I ever betray my heart and anger it... then I hope to die. For in this life my heart is my pure heaven-ward guide. To those I love, to the world I love, to my true life mission and path... I must be faithful,

She'd been asking for a necklace since forever, and he wasn't about to use his poverty as an excuse for him not to be able to take care of his lover."Here you go!" A fat man who was studying his cup of wine at the moment yelled out as he threw an envelope down on the floor. Ryan was a bit ashamed his boss had embarrassed him in the presence of everyone like that, but he said nothing and picked up the envelope. Quickly, he tore it open to check how much his boss had paid him this time.He had three jobs, but at the moment, he was doing his second job of the day at a busy restaurant.

    Conor had been asking where Dustin was that night. “Hey Vincent, am I right?” He said, waiting for the big guy to nudge him a nod. When he got his reply, he asked again, “have you seen Dustin? He has been literally no where to be found. I've asked everyone for him but they just dunno where he is.” He said, feeling desperate and frustrated at the same time.“Come with me, man. It's just that, he said be wanted to be alone.” Vincent said. “I mean I'm sure that what I'm doing right now would make Dustin literally tear me into pieces. But okay, let's go. Follow me now.” He said as he led him straight towards the hotel. There was a private way there that would just about hide Dustin from anyone if he wanted it even for ten days straight.“No one would even find him here. Wow that's crazy.” Conor said excitedly.

    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.

    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.

She purposely pointed fingers at Esther, stating that she had been less important just because she was going through some rough times.

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.

    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!

    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.

    "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
