Devin.
There was one person and only one person who wore it. That one person I never got to reveal myself to. Never said hi. Why? All because I was afraid she wouldn't accept me? Thinking about it now, what a lame excuse. Fear of rejection.
The crushed white carbon bags only confirmed my suspicions. She was taken against her will. From the looks of it, she was caught unaware. I was sure she might have fought and tried to escape but whoever took her had carefully planned this all out.
How could a girl be kidnapped in a public place and no one came to her rescue? Maybe their silences were bought? It was quiet possible that they were threatened into silence. All this wondering wasn't bringing any good to the low ache at the back of my head.
It was artfully crafted but they also seemed dumb to me because right there on the walkway in broad daylight and
Warren.Mouths and rage held in thin check, the entire grade gathered around the reception area murmuring away about one thing or the other.It didn't take long before the view of the figures of Crescent, standing alongside Ken who swiped away at the screen of his phone absentmindedly. Kris and another cheerleader just stood off to the side, looking indifferent but making frequent eye contact in some form of silent communication. Others stood a bit away from the group which made them easy to spot. Mrs. Jean, clipboard clutched tightly in her port arms, called a name once in a while to get a response from the said student."So why did the teachers call for a head count?"Kris's head turned in my direction at the sound of my voice but quickly turned away to offer a small smile to her 'friend'.Ken's shoul
Morowa."Rise and shine sweetheart." Ocean pulled me out of my sleep.My eyes open to meet a straight face void of any emotion. Stormy eye with a faint shadow of what could have been a past full of happiness. A single scar running from the side of his left eyebrow almost to the corner of his mouth and face tanned like a cowboy."Are you ready for the next agenda on your list?""Just get me water please." I didn't bother acting angry because angry didn't even explain half of what I felt.I can see. How am I seeing without my glasses? Miracle? Oh, that can't be the miracle. What I needed was a path, a way to leave this place no matter how little, that was all I needed. A way. An opportunity.Ocean returned. I didn't realize he had even left. He crouched again and offered the glass of water to me. My eyes scan the glas
She trudged along the streets, her full figured frame attracted a lot of eyes but she merely flipped the looks off. Deep hues of pink, orange and red mixed together representing the beginning of the end of another day.She just hoped he was willing to see her. This meeting had been scheduled as a result of her own nerves which had gone haywire with the news she had gotten from her sources earlier today.With a rod straight back, she pushed the double glass doors and breezed into the company, making her way to the reception desk. Not a single pair of eyes had left her when she made her entry.That was the thing about this meeting she had been trying to avoid. Attention. Attention she didn't need.Standing at a few in
The small flames, appeared and disappeared with the click of the button in the little dangerous device in my palms. Just one little light was all it took before everything it touched came down in ashes. So small yet to powerful. "Yes, Sapphire is pregnant."But she had looked so nonchalant about it when she had told me that day. I could remember all too well the way her eyes held hostility towards me. Her mouth saying one thing and her body saying something entirely different."I'm lost. But you were so sure she wasn't pregnant earlier. What happened to that?""Relax Mr. E—""My name is Warren. How many times have I got to say that. I'm nothing like my father." I
Morowa.After my mini heart attack, Ocean sliced the rope which connected be to the bed. I cradled my wrists once again but real life this time. Not a dream. The heavy pain which shot up from my spine, spreading to every part of my body made sure of that.He turned away from me, went out of the room. The room. The room which I still couldn't see. Dang it! I would give anything to catch a little clear image of the blurry surrounding. Anything.Ocean came back and within seconds we were in a vehicle. A van perhaps? I couldn't really tell but the on entry into the vehicle I didn't have to lower my head or squeeze my body so it must be a van."We're here princess." He said and guided me until my legs were firmly planted on the hard concrete floor. Coarse, warm palms made contact with the back of my hands and an object was placed in my arms. I turn
SkyI wasn't expecting this. There they were. Yellow tape and all and yet nothing and no result. Well, in summary I was disappointed. With Devin playing with tooth pick in his mouth, we walk back to the hotel."So where to now?"Doesn't matter if I sounded like I didn't know what I was doing because I didn't. Morowa is missing and now the trip's been cancelled, meaning we would be going back to Florida and back to school IN Florida. This all leads to one thing. I was gonna be stuck there with no updates on her search whatsoever. I feel so useless right now."Hey handsome."Of all the things tha
He couldn't remember the last time he had pined over another female after she had left his life. He made sure to pull her against himself and nuzzle his head in the crook of her neck, taking deep whiffs of her scent. Her shoulders tensed and she turned away from the sandwich she was trying to pull together and her bright ginger brown eyes made even brighter due to the steady stream of sunlight from the windows behind them, to stare up into his fresh scrubbed face."Dario."His head lowered again, tickling her with his soft tresses of hair which weren't up in ponytail for a change and growled in response. He loved the way she said his name. Her African accent blessed her words making it sound like the finest word to his ears.
Morowa. I bit down on my lip while the water works continue. When exactly did my life boil down to this?The thick mist created a small weak blanket in front of me hiding the faces of the 'customers'. Everyone got in position with about three models a pole. The music drifted into my ears in a slow yet upbeat tune and the models started moving according to the music, twisting this way and that, making sure to make their 'goods' juggle with their movements. Everything in me screamed for me to move or at least try to imitate the models if I wanted to survive this but how could I even do what they wanted. How could I even. Urgh. These men were more than half my age and they kept raking their beady eyes over the goods. Quiet a repulsing sight. Why couldn't I just—"I want the black girl!"What? My head snapped forward away from the dark spac
