His Prize

…5 years agoThe building looked similar to ours , the difference were the toys found on the lawn next to the front porch and the dog sleeping beside the front door. Father never let us adopt a pet, he always told us that they constituted as nuisance, I always wanted a cat , a small pet to love , on our 1st year anniversary, Brian, my boyfriend then ,got one for me, father wouldn’t just give in. He later had to return it .I walked anxiously towards the door, the dog lifted its head , barked and laid down back. I made a sigh of relief as I knocked .No answer. I knocked harder fortunately, a pretty girl opened. “ Hello, can I help you?” She questioned with a smile on her face while I stared at her features.My heart raced and my palms became sweaty when I noticed the birthmark at her shoulder blade . I had one , Stan had one. Father always boasted about the natural identification mark , God had somehow bestowed on his lineage.“Hey, are you alright?” I heard“Yh “ I whispered.“I

My hands roamed his arms at different intervals. He felt so masculine. I had never been with someone with such a strong energy before.At the end of our dancing and grinding. I’m pretty sure I felt it move . Being with him sparked something in me and I loved the feeling.“ Come with me?” He askedI rose my head from his chest to look into his eyes“ let’s have a seat” he continued. I didn’t even realize that I had been standing for a whileI nodded in approval as he led me through the crowd till we reached a quieter part of the club.He looked at the bouncer standing up front , who made a signal and the door at our front opened.He directed me in as the door closed behind us.“ I thought we could use some privacy “ he stated as he poured me a drink.The place was actually secluded. I didn’t want to ask questions but I needed to know Paris was at least safe. I wasn’t even sure I was safe .“ You could talk to me you know?” I heard . He had relaxed on the counter at my side .“ I came h

The same black car. Just a longer version parked in front of my home.It was already gaining attention. I was very irritated at this point, cause I had finally managed to forget that incident with the weird lady.Every fancy black car seemed suspicious to me ever since that day .“ Bye mom, bye Stan” I said as I rushed out for my 8am shiftI ignored the car and walked quickly on my way to the bus stop.The car drove quietly and slowly at my side.I pretended to not notice but it was irritating.With a huff and annoyance I waited for the bus while the car parked close to the bus stop.Stepping into the bus , I greeted the driver and paid quickly to grab a seat at the back but all were occupied so I sat closer to the door and put on my headset.The black car drove at the side of the bus, close enough for me to notice it.Whosoever the driver was , he or she was a creep. I thought to myself.I ignored the car once again and closed my eyes , focusing on the music.The honk of the car sta

I was already running late for my afternoon shift. I hurriedly walked into the bakery shop expecting the usual buzz of customers scrambling for their orders.It was too calm in the shop for a Wednesday afternoon.I walked past the counter into the bakery.“ Hey, what’s going on?” I asked Greg. He was in charge of coffee making.“ I honestly have no idea“ . He replied,“ Where is everyone?” I asked again.“ Came in and met the shop scanty” he continued as he kneaded the dough at his front. That was weird.“Thanks” I said as I headed for the boss’ office.I knocked thrice and entered when I heard his voice.“ Hello” I said as I watched him peer at me from his spectacles.“ Sophia, what’s the matter?” He asked me.“ That’s what I came to ask you“ I said to him as he looked at me with a confused expression.“ The shop is scanty“ I continued.“ Ahhh. Yes . You probably didn’t get the memo “he stated.“What memo?” I questioned.“ The shop has a new owner“ he stated with a smile.“ Since when

“What’s the occasion?” I asked with a laugh as I stepped into her room with caution.“Sophie!” She shrieked happily as she rushed to hug me.“Hey” I said as I wrapped my arms around her tall frame.“I didn’t know you were coming “ she said as she pulled away from the hug.“Me too” I said with a sad smile.“Are you okay?, tell me what’s wrong” she said as she directed me to a free spot on her bed.“I will, when you let me know why your room is in this manner “ I said with a smile as she let out a laugh.“You should see the dressing room. I’m so indecisive Sophie “ she said as she stood to lead me into her dressing room.“Tell me something I don’t know “ I remarked with a chuckle.“James asked me out” she said with excitement on her face.I was excited for her.“That’s so good. You guys look good together “I said with a smile.“I know. I don’t know what to wear though “ she said as her lips formed a thin line.“Help me, please” she she begged with her hands together.“Of course” I said
