He caressed my face tenderly. “I don 't want you to feel uncomfortable in your own home. There is no reason for me to be here. It is better this way." I murmured sadly. Angrily, he pushed me down the carpet and between gritted teeth said, "You are not moving out today. There is no rush for you to move." He said and kissed me again ardently. Moving on top of me, he kissed me eagerly and before I could form a clear thought he was grabbing my breast, and he pulling my nipples painfully.

She waited a few moments, then slipped out after them, her heart beating so loudly that she felt instinctively that it must be audible to the people she was following. She stayed just far enough back that the curve of the corridor concealed her from sight, keeping her footfalls silent on the deck plating. For just an instant she sped up, just to see a glimpse of these people. She could see dark hair, and then, for just a moment, lavender skin. Fear was setting in. At least in the dark she had doubts

John yelled, “But what she said about you was ridiculous, baby. You don’t need her, you have me, and soon you will have two other little people to keep you company.” Vivica smiled and said, “I know. I can’t believe we will be having twins in two weeks.” “Yeah and after we have the twins maybe we can go on a vacation to the Bahamas.” Said John excited. Vivica shook her head and said, “Baby we can’t leave the country after the babies are born, but maybe in a couple of months we can go. When the

In the early evening back at home Consuelo was still pacing in front of the café window. Concerned for the safety of her only son, who had departed this morning wearing his sleepwear and robe. Her jaw fell open when on the sidewalk before her appeared Stella and Sol, with much audacity. Carrying up the path garment bags from a high end department store. Behind them was Dr. Edwards who had just pulled in after his long shift at work. He walked towards Stella who was standing in front of the door

“You only bring pain,” he said. Tripping, I place my hand on the bathroom door and rush inside. The door swings behind me as I rush to the stall. “We’re here to help,” I told him and he backed up into the wall. It wasn’t the flashlight he was afraid of, it was me. I lean on the stall door and look down at the floor. I breathe in and out trying to calm myself down. What is wrong with you, James? Why can’t you stop having these visions? My hand reaches for the toilet paper. Shaking, it rips a piece

I didn’t know what to expect when I opened the door, but when I did I just saw two people sitting in this sitting area that almost looked like a living room. They were both sitting on a couch about the size of a love seat, which was adjacent to another chair. They were both in a somewhat casual attire. My mother was dressed in jeans and a plain white t-shirt. My father was dressed in a striped polo shirt match with a pair of tan slacks. If you looked closely you could tell that my mother had been

It’s almost as if I am a consolation prize to far too many women who fall short of their romantic endeavors. Even the word prize may be a stretch as an appropriate name to represent this arrangement. I am more like a band aid for the broken rather than an actual reward. It seems as if there have always been women in my life that allow guys destroy them to the lowest denominator. The pattern – much to my dismay - is repeated over and over. Time after time they go through their separate dilemmas, and

I have to give the guys directions. No mistakes.
 Yes, but this plan needs me and you. We haven 't felt that rush in a long time. We have to bring Mondli closer. Don 't put everything we 've worked for so hard for on the line. 
 - Why do other cops take bribes, then? - Like you 've just said, our job is very difficult. That 's why sometimes you have to do certain things... so you can take care of your family. - MaMlambo and Mam 'Madlala fired me. - Are you sure about that? - I was

“Then what do you want me to do?” “Let me go.” “I don’t understand how running away will help save our marriage?” “Dr. Cannon told me I should find a purpose, something to occupy my time other than work. Renovating my family’s home would give me a purpose, a reason to get up every day. I will have something other than Kelly’s death to focus my attention on, and hopefully find a way to move forward. Then I can concentrate on our marriage.” “I wish I could go with you.” Casey lied, “I do too. I know

My Love, I can 't express to you how much fun I had with you this weekend or how much I am looking forward to our next adventure together. So I 'm at least going to make an attempt here to tell you how much this trip and this time with you mean to me. I loved everything about this trip...except maybe our late night detour in the Pisgah Forest Walmart. Even then I 'm just glad I was with you. I will definitely never forget that night or how unbelievably happy I was to see that tow truck. I 'm not
