Chapter 7.
Bliss.
Sunday comes faster than I expected. Eden, Grace and I are buying popcorn and drinks for the movie we're watching. We decided to watch a movie first and then eat dinner after. Maybe we'll add something else later.
We pay for the drinks and popcorn and enter the theatre 'cause the movie is meant to start in less than an hour. We go in after showing our tickets to the usher at the door. There's no one in here except for the two people sitting together near the front.
We pick seats in the middle row because they're far from the A.C. The theatre is a bit cold. Thanfully the three of us expected that and brought sweaters. We're a tight knit trio. *Wink-Wink*. Get it? No? Ok.
'I think my body parts are about to freeze and fall off.' Eden grumbles and rubs her hands together beside me.
'It's not that cold.' Grace says while pulling on her sweater. Her act

Bliss. The Sun is setting - it looks like a big orange ball melting into the horizon and the sky is streaked with hues of purple-blues, oranges and fluffy clouds ~ I wonder what they feel like. Evenings like these remind me of sunsets spent in my Mama's salon. Which reminds me, I need to call her. The cool breeze flutters across my face from the open car window while my friends sing along to songs playing on the radio. I occasionally join in but my eyes unconsciously find their way back to the sky. I want to eat and watch the sun as it sets and I know it's cheesy but I like it. Sometimes I watch it by myself and it's so peaceful. 'Can we eat somewhere that has big windows?' I ask and lean in between the two front seats causing both of them to stop their singing fiasco. Eden replies without taking her eyes off the road. 'A lot of places have those. W

Josiah. I've been having ice-cream cravings since I watched food network last night. I love ice cream so much, I wish I could swim in it. Actually scratch that, I don't wanna die of hypothermia - It's not worth it and I'd have ice-cream stuck in places that it shouldn't be stuck in. Yuck. I haven't left my office since I got here even when it was my lunch break - I had food delivered to me. So many emails, phone calls, text messages... Who said making money was easy? I need a break. I walk into my assistant's office - which is attached to mine - to tell her I'm going out for a while. She shoos me away and tells me to be back on time for the meeting I have later. My employees greet me as I pass the general work area. The nearest ice-cream shop is within walking distance from my office so I don't have to drive. It's late afternoon and the sun is hot - perfect reason to get some ice-cream. The s

Bliss. I've been lying in bed since I woke up. The curtains let in a little morning light, although it's not bright yet. I pick up my phone to check the time and the screen light pretty much blinds me - 6:04am. I toss the phone somewhere beside me. I can't lie here forever...(which is sad) but I'd rather do things at my own pace instead of running around like a headless chicken because I'm late. Sometimes I still end up opening my salon late, even if I wake up early. I kiss my teeth and get up. I walk into my bathroom and stare at myself in the mirror above the sink. My face and eyes are puffy. I look like brown bread - delicious. I brush my teeth, doze off on the toilet contemplating the purpose of work, almost fall off it but I don't and I shower. I throw on a large button-up shirt and black trousers. I stare at my outfit in the full-length mirror... Should I wear a cuter shirt? What

Bliss. Some of my clothes lay on the floor in a pile and my wardrobe door is open. Nothing looks appealing enough to wear and I need to hurry up before Grace gets here because I told her I'm almost done getting ready and I'm still in a t-shirt! Do I have to wear a dress? And heels? Do I have to look hot? Damn it! I'm not trying to snag a man yet - The one I want won't be there. I just want to be comfortable. My inner musings are interrupted by a knock on the door. She's here already? As I walk to the front door, I hear her call my name and hard knocks assault my ears. Must she be so loud when it's this late? I open the door and there she is with her hands poised to knock again. I roll my eyes and drag her into my house. "You're noisy." She just smiles wide in reply. I'm about to flick her forehead when I see her outfit. She's wearing a rose gold halter backless dress that stops mid thigh and

Bliss. So the boys are drunk... No surprise there! and we decided it was time to go home. Nothing spectacular happened in the club, just usual drunken stuff. You know; Stumbling around, incoherent words and loud singing, Josiah calling me his wife, crying... Yeah! normal stuff. Nessa took Lee home, after much persuasion to leave Josiah with me. There's no way she can handle two drunk men. Grace drove Josiah and I to my house. He'll go back home in the morning. "Want me to stay with you?." Grace offers as we support Josiah up the stairs of my apartment. "Nah. I'm good. He's already sleepy so he won't be any trouble." I huff out in relief when we get to my door. I open it and we gently drop him on the couch and then I follow Grace back out to her car to make sure she's safe. I go back inside when she drives off. I open my door, switch on the l
Cinnamon Author's Note...
if you're seeing this, thank you for giving my book a try. I haven't updated this book since last year and I am truly truly sorry. I was unsure about which direction this book was going but I'm slowly figuring it out and trying to write it in a way I like. The chapters are disorganized, the storyline is not making sense. Everything needs to be rewritten and I'm trying to do that. Very slowly. Too slow. I don't know when I'll update but I just wanted to come on here and explain. I'm not sure anyone cares but I'll do better.

Bliss. "Thank you. I'll definitely come by again." The lady says on her way out. Noise from the busy street whooshes in through the open door. "You're welcome. Have a great day." I reply before the door closes. The floor is a mess - littered with hair and plastic packaging. I grab a broom and start sweeping. My stomach rumbles as I finish sweeping. My body requires her sustenance and she will not be denied. I go out to get food from a cute little restaurant down the block. I order to go since I can't leave the salon unattended for too long. I used to have people working with me but those weren't pleasant experiences so I work alone now. The sun feels warm against my skin but not in a sticky sweaty way. It's evening and the little shopping district lights up. People are going in and out of shops or just passing by. But I'm too hungry to take in the beautiful evening scenery, I speedwalk to my sal

After I let them in, we ate and washed the dishes. Our bellies full and our limbs like rubber, we were sprawled out on both couches in the living room. "Let's watch Ratatouille." Grace says from the single couch.I raise my brows at her. "Because we ate spaghetti?""Yes, indeed." She nods.Beside me, Josiah already has the remote in his grasp and is searching through Disney plus. 'Of course you're eager to watch it. You want to see your crush.' I smirk at him and use my left foot to poke his sides.He twists his body away from me. Wiggly little baby. 'Keep your foot away from me.' He laughs and swats my leg away."I don't have a crush on Colette. I just think she's cool.' He justifies."I didn't say it was Collette though. Did I?" I tease."But I knew that's who you were talking about." He says defensively. I smirk at him."I believe you Jojo. Don't mind Bliss." She coos at him."Thank you. You're such a good friend unlike somebody." He sniffs mischievously."Since I'm such a bad fr
