"Nathan and I have to date each other."

The air in the room suddenly became toxic and Doris began to cough plus, she was choking on her cola soda.

"Are you okay?" Nathan asked as he rushed to her.

She inhaled sharply like she actually had been suffocated by Camille's words. "Yeah I'm good… what!" She yelled out.

"Shushhh!" Camille exclaimed with a finger on her lips. "We can't let your fake sister Ronnie Anne know that we are having a private important discussion here!" She whispered a little on the top of her voice.

"Why would we date? No, why should we date?" Nathan asked as he sat next to Doris.

"We need her to go after a girl she feels is a threat to her." Camille explained still in a whisper like tone. "And we all know that for some reason, maybe because she is your wife, Doris isn't a threat to her."

"I know, stop saying it!" Doris exclaimed but in a soft hushed tone.

"But… that would make you bait." Nathan said immediately he added the maths.

"Yeah but—"

"--i'm not doing it." N

    Up in Nathan's room, Camille sat on his bed with the recorder in her hand while Nathan relaxed on the wall of the room. "Do you think this will be good enough to convince Doris about her so-called best friend?" She asked as she slightly waved the recorder in the air."It should, and what about the cops?" He asked as he folded his arms across his chest."It is a lead but it won't be enough, she didn't admit to doing anything incriminating or even that she is your stalker, only that she loves you which the police won't see as a threat." She returned it back into her pocket."I see your point.""Nathan!" A voice yelled out from outside the room."That's not Doris." Nathan said."Come here!" Camille instructed and Nathan climbed the bed and sat beside her. She placed her leg on his lap and wrapped her hands around his neck. "What are you waiting for? Hold my waist!" She whispered authoritatively. Even though he felt uncomfortable with his best friend all over him, he gently placed his ha

    "There's a lot of things you don't know about your father Camille." Camille's mother said to her in a cold tone, looking a bit sad and guilty.Camille had broken the promise she made to herself never to talk with the woman behind her misery, well most of it. She got dressed in a warm feathered jacket and blue jeans, a head warmer and a pair of snow boots even though it wasn't snowing yet, but it was very cold."Are you going to see your mother?" Nathan asked as he walked towards her with two cups of warm yet, smoking coffee. "Yeah." She smiled."For you." He handed her a cup."Thank you." She sipped from it and sighed as she felt the heat flow through her lungs."What changed your mind?""She wrote me a note." Nathan shot her with a 'really' look with an arched brow. She raised her cup to her mouth and took another sip from her coffee. "What? Why are you staring at me like that?""A note she wrote to you suddenly changed your mind? And tell me why did you read the note?""Ugh fine! Y

    Camille strode into the living room and just as she had expected, officer Micheal Reid was seated on the chair with a cup of warm coffee in his hand, constantly checking his watch and phone for the time.She walked into the room and he turned around, the instant he heard the sound of a shoe against the floor."Camille!" He said. He got on his feet and stared at her without uttering any more words and she just smiled awkwardly."So uh… what's up with you?""I'm uh… okay I guess, yeah I am okay.""Great.""Can the both of you please have your seat and discuss like the matured adults that you are?" Nathan said as he walked into the living room with a tray of snacks for the duo."Oh you really didn't have to stress yourself baking these!" Officer Reid said with a look of gratitude."You think I baked that? My wife did, to help you guys get along. What brings people together like baked chocolate- y goodies?""Uhm… I don't know, maybe a nice romantic stroll or having dinner at a fine restau

    The sound of her heels as it came in contact with the ground echoed through the restaurant. She stopped briefly scanning the room with her eyes and the sight of a blondie caught her attention, she continued towards the woman and stopped next to her. With a hand on her shoulder, she called out to her."Rachel!"The woman turned her head to look at her and she smiled at the sight of whom she saw, "Evelyn!"Rachel got up on her feet and they both exchanged pleasantries with a brief hug.Evelyn sat opposite her and placed her bag on the table, "it is so nice to see you." She said forcing a fake smile on her face."Same here, how are your kids?" Rachel asked with an obviously fake smile on her face."Splendid and yours?"Good thank you." Rachel replied smiling."I'm glad to hear that."Rachel sipped from her half empty glass of wine and Evelyn ordered herself a drink."So Evelyn.""Hmm?" Evelyn replied with her glass in her mouth."What about what we last discussed?" Rachel asked with a pl

    The air suddenly seemed hazardous to Rachel as she struggled to breathed in, she didn't know what to expect from an unpredictable woman as Evelyn.She choked on her own saliva as she tried to gulp it down.Evelyn smiled warmly, "I accept.""Wait what?" Rachel asked with her eyes widened."I think I can make it work.""Really!" Rachel squealed with joy.Evelyn nodded affirmatively with a smile."Oh thank you, I promise you, you won't regret this.""I'm putting my trust in you. Thank you for choosing my Owen." Evelyn smirked."Oh come on, who else would make a good match for my darling daughter if not Owen.""Oh! you flatter me-" Evelyn chuckled softly, "-i'm happy to hear we are both on the same page, parents who wants what's best for their children.""Definitely! We're both good parents for sure.""And your daughter is on the same page as us too right?""Oh definitely, she's all Owen's."Evelyn chuckled, "great, let's order something."

Rachel thanked her smiling."Oh it's nothing, thank you for having dinner with me. I'll call you when I have my answer." Evelyn replied with a warm smile on her face."Oh okay, please think about it well.""Good night Rachel." She said as she picked her phone from the table."Bills on you next time okay?" Evelyn said jokingly."Haha, definitely." Rachel replied faking a laugh."Oh I was only joking with you."Both women exchanged fake laughters before Evelyn walked away from their table leaving Rachel and her rage alone.Rachel went home to her daughter in rage, she explained how egoistic Evelyn portrayed herself and Mitchel tried to calm her down

He prepared himself a light dinner with a glass of milk to help him sleep better.While he was eating, Doris walked into the dining room and he went to meet her halfway."Hey, you're up." He said as he placed a light kiss on her head."Yeah, needed a glass of water.""I didn't want to wake you when I got back."Nathan got a glass and filled it till it was half empty with water and handed it to Doris to drink."Thanks.""Is any body home?""My mom went out and Owen is in his room."

    He glanced at his watch and frowned. He was late. He picked up the pace, almost running in an attempt to beat time. He had promised his lady that he would be on time and now he was running late.He finally got to the main road and took his place at the bus stop. After waiting for almost two minutes– two extra wasted minutes of his time– a taxi arrived and after a brief negotiation, they were on their way.His phone rang out from his coat pocket and he already knew who would be calling. "I know, I know, this isn't what I planned either. I'm sorry.""You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago!" She complained over the phone."I am really, truly sorry honey. I'll be there in three minutes… five minutes top.""Get here in two minutes!""I'm in a taxi, I'll be there soon." After he hung up, he noticed the cab driver staring at him through the mirror.

    Frost grew over the windows even as the duvet kept her warm. Isla watched the ice-crystals grow for a while, allowing her brain to be empty, content to exist and be. The morning would bring the beauty of the ice for sure, that crunch under boot and the bold greeting cold air brings. Yet between now and watching her breaths rise as new white-puffed clouds there will be a very cold night. The kind that only stops at the doors of the well-made houses. The cold weather that seeped through any thin cloth to drain the soul, instead feeds the soul of those well wrapped in warm layers of well insulated fabrics.It was the same type of coldness that reached into one's bones, as if their heart were a door left wide open to the icy wind, slamming only to open again. The only thing to do would be to keep moving, keep heading toward home and the steady warmth of the hearth. There was a lot on her mind that night. And she even tried her best to get Nathan off her mind. She wouldn't just stop thinki

    Evelyn met with Regina that day. Not for anything else besides their main discussion. She had purposely visited Regina and had the meeting scheduled at her house. She loved being a wedding guest. It's as if rockets have been lit beneath the soul. There is such love right out in the open. Everyone feels free to let their happy flags fly. Cynics are silent at last. Birdsong becomes the music of the quiet reflections. Souls are united. To have an invitation to such an event is a blessing indeed.She saw the woman from afar, shivering in fear. Fear of what though? Well perhaps it was because the head of the Queens was right at her house! She gave a satisfying grin at the moment and continued with her discussion. "Well, so you see why it is important for us to meet up?" She said, a satisfying smile working its way over to her cheeks. Her face had been plastered with bright heavy makeup. Again. Just on purpose. She ignored Regina's shivering and continued. "So we can discuss the wedding

    Nathan is alone, thinking about his life when Doris enters. She tries to confront him, but he just wasn't buying. He was terrified of a whole lot of things. The emotion of our reunion sealed as a perfect photograph in my soul.He had felt so very angry. He'd felt so deeply bloody angry with the universe, with God. Yet that is so unfair. Everything he had struggled for is exactly what he asked to do. He had en route to achieve what he set out to achieve. The pain that was to come with it, the brutal brutal suffering of his soul was necessary. There was no other way to learn what he had learned. The anger is because he want to be with her. He want to be with you so much but he had to keep his own counsel, his own direction with only the influence of the divine ether that came to the artist. Artists would get that. They've felt what he felt. But there must come a time, a day, a moment when he would get to say he'd done what he set out to do. He really hoped so. Because that was when we g

"You're welcome."She walked in with a small bag in her hand."Here let me help you.""Oh no it's fine, I got it." She replied smiling."I don't like the idea of inconveniencing you in this way."Tori had insisted on following Nathan home after he dropped her at her place. She claims she couldn't leave him alone and let depression take over him."Mr Anakin, I'd like you to know that I have no secret agenda behind this, I just want to make sure you're okay by all times." Tori explained."Why are you saying that? I know you have no hidden agenda Tori.""Then let me be with you in such a crucial time sir… as a confidant." She said with so much sincerity in her tone.Nathan sighed, "as you wish."Now they were together in the apartment, Tori had insisted on preparing dinner but he plainly refused, he still had his mind on Doris and he wondered what kind of things the abductors would be

    The door of the station pushed open and barging into the room was Evelyn with the other important women of Ettavile as her minions.Her heels made loud noises as she strolled confidently into the D.P.O's office."Ma'am you can't go in there." A police officer stopped her."My daughter has been kidnapped and I know who did it so move!" She yelled at him, pushing him away from the entrance.Inside the office was Nathan and Tori who had rushed back to the station after their conversation with Evelyn."I know who the culprit is! Which station is it?"

    They had no other option than to meet Doris and her husband. The gang stole Drew from us a piece at a time. Every week they pushed him slightly further until not only did he have no morals, he thought that way of thinking was a desirable freedom. His family, we who truly loved him, became his enemy. He looked at us like we were vile to him. Then one day I found him shaking in his bedroom, crying like the sun had been stolen from the sky, his hands slick with another's blood. That's the last time I ever saw the real Drew, in that moment of remorse. After that he sunk so low into his new m.o. that no-one got close unless they were bringing news of the next gang order.Nobody joins a gang without being a lost soul first. No-one goes to a monster for guidance unless it's their only option. Yet I can't underestimate this gang boy, however young he is. Until the head of any serpent is removed, you ignore the body at your peril. Given his youth he is perhaps more reachable than an older boy

    Owen has nothing, he talks to his wife. He called his mother, they agree to beg Nathan and Doris. Incels, if women were robots then you could push their buttons and make them dispense sex in the way a coffee machine gives coffee. They aren't robots, or fem-iods, or foids, but people. Your hatred of women shows up in who you are, thus at an instinctive level, below the conscious brain, women will fear you. This fear is there to protect them from having sex with a man who does not love them. Women are people. Their "sex" is a form of bonding with the one they are in love with, male or female. People also tend to love a person who loves themselves, who is at ease with who they are. So maybe work on yourself? Build empathy instead of entitlement and hate? Personally, I only have sex with a guy when I love him. Not a robot.The "Incel" according to the Oxford Dick-tionary of "we know everything about you assholes who hide behind fake names and avatars," is short for "Incompetent Celibates
