The convent was his safe haven. For Jerald, running away from the web of lies of his parents and not fully understanding why they had to do it but the pains from having been lied to clouded his vision and made him leave home. ************** Amari had lived most of her life in the convent and wondered what lies beyond the horizon of the church walls, longing for the outside but caving herself in the church until he came and within the spurs of the moment, showed her what it means to love and be loved back. *********** It's against the doctrine that a reverend sister is falling in love with a man who ought to become a priest, it was counted as the Devil's will and not of God.
View MoreIt all occured on a cold night, she was wearing a long red dress. Carrying it was the most difficult thing even when she was drunk. The door of the lift opened with a ding and she got out, with one hand she slided her hair behind her ear and took slow steps in the corridor and looked for her room number, desperately looking at the closed doors. Then she remembered and took out the card from her purse. She was feeling dizzy. She read the number on it and started walking towards the door which faced her left. She turned the door knob and it was already open! She entered.
It was a big dark room, lights were off or maybe it was on purpose. She instantly took her heels off and threw them on the floor at once as she could not bear the pain anymore. Without observing the surrounding she went to bathroom. She was feeling nauseated and vomited in the toilet until she felt light. Then she went under the shower and tried to unzip her dress. The zip was on back side and it was a great deal to lean her hands on back and unzip it. It was taking a lot of time and she was tired of trying. She was feeling sleepy. And suddenly she put her right hand on the wall to balance herself, and the warm shower's button got pressed, water started to pour on her slim body.
"Ahhh" she ached.
She wanted to go on bed and lie but she was all wet and couldn't help her dress to get off. Water still pouring, she sat under the shower on floor. Her back touched the wall behind and she relaxed herself under warm water. She closed her eyes, and her smokey makeup, all smudged started to flow down her cheekbones. Her face was all a mess with the flowing makeup, but her fair skin, perfectly shaped lavish lips, cheekbones and long curled lashes couldn't help to hide her beauty. Even in this situation she was looking perfectly attractive to seduce a man. In minutes she felt unconscious and slept.
In morning, as she woke up she found herself on bed, naked under the covers. She became startled and looked around. It wasn't her room.
"Where am I?" First question popped in her mind.
She realized that it was still dark in room as the curtains hadn't been pulled out yet. She started to remember that last night maybe she entered the wrong room. Busy in her deep thoughts, a tall young man wearing a bathrobe appeared from the bathroom. She couldn't see his face clearly as it was dark, but his eyes were sparkling. To her shock, she couldn't believe that there was a man in her room? Or she was in the man's room? Her eyes constantly glaring at the unusual figure which just appeared from the bathroom, and realizing that she was naked too. Slowly it started to make sense to her, but she couldn't dare asking the unknown figure or say something from her mouth. She was in state of shock. Her constant glaring and eyes filled with all sort of questions made him uncomfortable. He exchanged eyes with her and started to move towards his cupboard. Her eyes following him.
"You ended in my room last night" a heavy bold voice came from him.
"Go to bathroom, change your clothes and leave the room immediately" it sounded like an order.
In state of curiousness, she stood carrying the rug to cover her body and went to the bathroom. She took a heavy shower, blaming herself and thinking about the situation she was in. Nothing came up in her mind, she took the bathrobe from the cabinet and after wearing entered the room. He was wearing a grey suit, all dressed up, busy wearing the watch. She looked at him once again, room was filled with damp light as the half curtain besides the bed had been pulled out. No doubt he was a handsome mature man, in his early 30's with grey eyes.
"Can I have some clothes?" Her voice echoed in the dark room.
It made him turn and look at her. She was very nervous and dared to speak. He opened the door of his last cupboard and took out a white shirt and blue pants. He came up to her, a little distance between them, and handed clothes to her. She couldn't lift her eyes up with shame, and her ears were red. He observed her for a couple of seconds and finally said,
"your dress is in the bathroom cabinet, it's dry cleaned and your other belongings are on that table" pointed towards the small table located near the door.
"Take your all belongings and leave the room now, don't leave anything behind" he said in a cold voice.
She instantly ran to the bathroom and changed the clothes as fast as she could, and took out the dress from the side cabinet. She returned holding the dress in her left hand, he was doing his breakfast on the dinner table located opposite to the bed with a small kitchen nearby too. He didn't look at her and ignored her presence completely. She went towards to table he told before, and found her shoes, wore them, took her purse and was about to leave when a question stopped her footsteps.
"I need to know before I leave or I'll keep regretting afterwards" she thought to herself. And putting up her all courage, she turned around and saw him. He was still busy, eating.
"What happened between us last night?" She asked lightly. It made him look up at her immediately and they exchanged eyes once again.
Amari.Moving out from the dormitory to the staff quarters after sister Agatha left wasn't quite an easy task, although Aunt Marie and her friends had helped her. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and breathed out heavily, yawning, standing in front of the empty fireplace, hands on her waist and accessing the work she had done in the living room, it was great to her taste, the center rug, army green and furry like, a center table, a flower vase of purple hibiscuses were on it, the settees were arranged, a sofa on the opposite side of the room backing the small dining room and kitchen, the armchair was facing the fireplace above the television stands and the other sofa was backing the way to the room.Amari smiled knowing how much effort she had put into her life and working in the convent, she had been here since she was seventeen, Aunty Marie's words ringing in her ears,“You have a lot waiting for you outside the convent,
Amari.There was a short knock on the door, Amari yawned and lazily got out of bed, she reached the door and didn't bother to ask who the person was, only her two closest friends, Georgina and Bethany would disturb her sleep at this odd hour."What is it this time?" She asked as she opened the door."I haven't seen you in a while, what's the problem?" Georgina whispered entering the dorm room and sitting on her bed."Nothing is up, I have been busy with teaching adults." Amari answered rolling her eyes."I told ya but you wouldn't listen." Bethany said, hissing."Calm down Bethany. I just wanted to confirm." Georgina said. "So you'll be moving to the staff quarters?" She asked."Yes." Amari yawned "later today, I'v
AmariThe convent was the best place ever to be, for Amari. Being in God's presence and basking in his everlasting love and grace was the greatest feeling for her.Ever since she had brought herself here to St. Agnes catholic convent, that peace of mind she begged and toiled for, she found it here, clapping her hands together with the rosary in between her palms and praying to God, singing in her soprano voice felt so angelic and made her feel as if she were one of the angels in heaven singing 'Hallelujah to the most high.'All that she wanted was to be happy, to have had a happy fun filled teen life, she wanted to know the feeling of going to parties, proms, theme park but those enjoyment came crashing down on her like a waterfall.What happens when you come back from school to meet police cars and family members in front of your home, only to rush inside the house to meet your parents slaughtered i
