"Whether to say who had aged better, she would never tell. On a day where the heat had reached its peak and the afternoon had nothing left to offer, she would lay her cheek against my cool, dark surface, follow the grooves with a finger and count the nicks with each memory of how they came to be." Saying that quite out loud
"When she awoke in a cold sweat, the darkness fresh inside and outside her mind, I would talk to her, speak words of encouragement in that high, teetering voice of mines until she made it to other end of the hall and to her mother’s room. You’re almost there. You’re almost there. No one had ever grown closer to her than me, no one had ever come closer to feeling like home." I sighed, that was her favorite story line from the book "Memories" by Dim Leon, I remember
As the early morning birds sings,and I enjoy the melody, Maryam reached out toward the curtain and drew it aside in one strong motion. The light flooded in, bathing me in it's warm golds, revealing to me the colours it had brought to the world beyond my window pane, followed by the musty smell of old furniture."Gawd?"I said, really trying to avoid the smell."Good morning Mr Rolland"she said with a little bit of caution in her voice."How are you Maryam, it's too early to be up"I said, trying to make her leave me alone."No it's not, it's past twelve sir, you need to wake up" she said, I let out a loud groan, I was still laying down, trying to let my mind settle, then I managed to sit up.Maryam was busy picking up all my dirty clothes on the floor and making sure the room looked clean, she kept dusting the old chairs and trying to make them look alive."Wooof... Wooof!!!" She
"16 missed calls" I read out."12 voice message?" I knew I was in trouble."8 mails" I let out a short laugh.Driving round town was a beauty to behold, all the smell of old trees and dusty grounds was quite amazing I must appreciate.Entering a house in this neighbourhood after dark was a job for the spook-brigade, or rookies as they used to be known. We call them spooks in honour of what they may become before being promoted to a safer positionI was indeed back home before dinner that was prepared two hours ago, I saw Maryam already dozed off on the dinner table, and I didn't want to wake her up, I quietly shut the door behind me.At first glance I wanted to take her to her room and lay her down on her bed but at second thought I didn't want to be questioned why I wasn't home early.I quickly tiptoed upstairs, trying not to make a noise, just
"Maryam am sorry" I repeated a thousand times now."Okay fine, so I was thinking of going out tonight with you....?" I said, trying to catch her attention, I watched her angry face turn into a blooming flower."Really?" she asked excitedly."Yes.... Like a park or something" I said to her."Yes!!! Yes!!!" she seems pretty excited, well guess this was a good or should I say, a better way to get a woman talking."Alright then" I said turning my back to face her, I was on my way out to get some coffee."Don't be late this time for breakfast, there won't be a second chance!! " she said aloud."Okay Maryam, I won't," I said, turning to look at her, I drew a cross at the left side of my chest."I cross my heart" I told her.Immediately I entered my silver grey Mercedes S600, and drove

(Background song: Memories by Maroon 5)Here's to the ones that we gotCheers to the wish you were here but you're not'Cause the drinks bring back all the memoriesOf everything we've been throughGazing straight ahead, only half-aware of a world outside the claustrophobic comfort of the car, his hands stroking the wheel, the almost soundless changing of the gears, the pattern of traffic lights, it blinks red.To
Nuella's POVHe grabbed me by the waist, pulling me up close against his chest. His hand gently glided through my hair, as he looked at me in a way he had never looked at a girl before.My eyes were candles in that night, their light a spark of passion... desire. As a small but teasing smile crept upon my face, goosebumps lined my skin, not the kind that one gets in the cold, but the kind one gets when nothing else matters except right here, right now.I have every intention of punishing Ethan until his hand touches my face. The acceleration of my heart-rate has nothing to do with fear but everything to do with what my body really wants.I look away as if the outside world holds my attention, but after all this time he reads me like a book, eyes on my chest, my breathing rate duly noted.With a gentle finger he reorients my face so that he holds the gaze I didn't want to give him, stealin
"Grrr...grrr.." the Telecom phone rang, sitting up to pick."Hey beautiful" the handsome voice from the phone called out to me."Hey baby, where are you" I asked, quite eager to see him."Uhmmmm....am in the arms of another,guess what?" He asked, but am sure he knew I wasn't scared he was with another.(I mean he can't possibly do that to me,he can't do without me plus am the only one who can stand his crazy desire )."Who? Benedick!" I cursed and let a quick smile."Ohh..she's go...od, and.... Uhmmmm" was that a moan?, was he with another?."What the fuck is wrong with your voice?, Is she chocking you, or something?" I asked, mostly out of some kind of stupid jealousy that I didn't want to show."Really! Nuella.. are you seriously asking me that!" He let out a loud laugh.Ok now am safe."I thought you were with an
I slide down into the water, letting it block out the sounds around me.I wish the tub would expand so I could go swimming, like I used to on hot summer Sundays in the woods with my father. Those days were a special treat.Cold water seeps into my side and structured curves, stealing the heat from my soles just as fast as the wind steals from my face. My face is soaked, the drops coming together to run into my eyes and drip from my chin. My heat has run to my core to shelter and hoard the warmth that remains. For this long road, in this wintry storm, the frigid downpour and the icy puddles are my nemesis.I wanted the water pouring from the shower to wash away those thoughts, and clean my mind.My eyes shut and cleared up my head, almost falling asleep.I could feel a light trace on my skin,I knew that scent,I wanted to resist but my body knew what it wanted, my eyes slowly opened to behold his presence.
