AN AWKWARD MOMENT Maven woke up with a jolt, eyes staring at the alarm clock. It was exactly 6:00 a.m., as usual. Maven didn't have to look at the clock to know it was time for her to wake up for the day. She would always get the urge to wake up once it's 6 a.m and this has always been exact and accurate, except on weekends when she deliberately decides to sleep in bed for a while.She pushed the comforter off her body and slid out of bed. She laid the pillows perfectly aligned and carefully on the bed, the shelves pulled tight, and her pink comforter was folded just the right way. Maven gave herself a firm nod when she saw she had done the job perfectly this time.She scurried over to my bathroom for the next to get a good wash as it was a necessary part of her morning ritual. She could never miss it; she brushed my teeth, washed my face, and showered afterwards. She quickly looked out for her outfit, the same one she had put together the previous night and got quickly dressed
STRANGE THINGS HAPPENThomas looked at Mave for a while and smiled.You've been smiling for quite some time. What do you deem to be so good with you?” Maven asked Thomas before taking the juice in her mouth. “Well I am just happy to have you around that's all”. Thimas answered and drummed his finger on the table. Well, well ,well. So this is where I manage. The salary isn't much but I am glad I can raise some stipends from it”. Thomas said happily. “Yes. I know. I can see all that happiness in your face and you seem not to have any problems at all” Thomas looked at her and smiled. They spoke for another hour and then she told him she would like to take her leave.“It's fine. You can always call if you need to talk”. He told her.“Thank you Thomas. And u am sorry for the waybi spoke to you the last time. I should have allowed mom throw you out of the house like that” She said to Thomas with a sorry look.“ all that is in the past now. I am happy here and I will get paid at the end o
THE HEALER IS HERE“Thomas, you look strange”. Grandpa said, looking at his son. Thomas looked like a demi god and his eyes glowed a special kind of green. “I am Thomas Al Thani the last healer of my tribe” Thomas spoke with much audacity and strength. He grabbed his grandpa's will hand and held him up.Sir Rufus Al Thani rises and walks”. He spoke with order. Pa. Al Thani didn't comprehend a thing that was happening to him but all he could see was that his legs had something like fire revolving in a spiral form. He is shocked to see that he would stand on his own.“That's it, pop. You can walk and take the steps”. Thomas was still in the high realm when he gave his grandfather all of these orders. Grandpa Al Thani obeyed all and did just as he had instructed. Grandpa lifted his legs little by little and began to move.“Can walk. I can walk”. Grandpa said with a very loud voice. By the time Thomas was done with releasing all the powers he became very weak and fell on the ground. H
THE JOY OF A FATHER Thomas and grandpa Rufus drove through the city singing grandpa's favorite old time country song together. Grandpa is shocked that Thomas knows a good number of the songs on the album. “My grandfather, I mean my other grandpa taught me a couple of them and I am so glad he did” Thomas said with excitement in his voice. He held the steering tight and drove the car like a professional. “Where did you learn how to drive, boy?” Grandpa Al Thani asked him in a very calm tone as usual. He has never had a loud voice except that he is angry at someone or at something not done at the appropriate time. “Well, I can’t really say I went on any driving lessons. It all happened in a single night and I am as shocked as you are”. Thomas grinned and then shot a playful wink at grandpa with his tongue sticking out. “What do you mean? Boy you confused as hell”. Grandpa laughed shortly then suddenly became serious again. “Well, my grandma almost died so I stole a neighbor's car
GETTING A CASINODays had passed, I couldn't not stop thinking about the grey wolf. I passed out as soon as I saw it and I had no idea what happened. By the time I woke up, it was gone. The only evidence was the broken window which I covered with a dark material from the attic.Every time I went out, I got disgusted cold looks from people and I cried everyday. I couldn't undo what had been done already even if I tried telling people I was innocent. One even threw rotten eggs at me the other day. “Leave my presence, betrayer, you should be banished.” The lady said to me,Grace’s last visit kept replaying in my head “ you'll always be beneath me.” I was never in a competition with her. I'd always made sure she tagged along with Thomas and I whenever we went out. “Was that where I went wrong?” I asked myself. It was all too much.For the past few days,I felt so uneasy like something bad was coming my way. Sighing I looked up at the ceiling “mom,dad, if you can hear me, please get me out
GET OUTThomas sent his men to go check the place. That morning Sabastian stood before his father in their large living room dressed in a very expensive suit. Mr. Garcia cleared his throat with his bola hat on his head.“Sabastian, you haven’t said anything reasonable at this point. That property is very important to us at this time and the environment is what would help us make sales. The investors are ready to pay in huge amounts of money so we can begin construction but I need to her from you. What was the last?“Like I said father everything is in place once you give me the money I shall make payments today, we would make that casino the talk of town and believe me when I say it’s in a very serene environment. A virgin land not too far from the city on the island. See”. He brought out the picture and showed it to his father.“I like it. For once you have made me proud son. The Garcia pharmaceuticals will finally have someone to replace me”. The old man began to cough after his las
CAUGHT IN ACTSabastian can not fathom what had just happened to him. He looked back at the men who had just thrown him out of the magnificent building he was just about to pay for.He couldn't protest because he and his friend had been outnumbered.“What are you still waiting for?” Sniper barked the words at Nathan who was still standing in awe and confusion with his mouth gaping towards his frustrated friend and back at the men in black south and sun shades. He sighed heavily, hurrying to meet up with his partner in crime.“Hey Sabastian, what just happened? He asked with his hands.spread open like one waiting to receive something from above. Sabastain had a look of disappointment in his eyes. “My enemy is at work here. You saw what just happened Nathan stopped pretending. I have been sidelined by only who knows but I promise you I will get to the root of this. I can not take such embarrassment. It might be the Barnardos trying to play a quick one on me but I shall tell them that
DISBELIEF We are going through a really hard time and all you can say is you will and fix it? Grandma’s tone was harsh and concealed anger in it. Maven has been frustrated since the last time she had been told that all the companies are withdrawing. The moment she was done with grandma on the phone she raised her head to see her office door open without a single knock and there was the arrogant Mr. Thompson.“What the heck are you doing here?’ Maven asked with a frown on her face and the anger within her came like an Adrenalin speed surging through her nerves.“Mr. Thompson you have done enough, I bet you are here to sign the deal puff as well, I don’t care about the forty percent cancellation fee anymore, and you can have everything”. Maven kept whining but Mr. Thompson pulled out the chair before him and sat down.“That is not why I am here Ms. Taylor, I think you should hear me out.” He said scratching his head with his hand.“What do you want then and why are you comfortably seat
