Shadows of the Past CONFLICTING THOUGHTS
EMILYI didn’t get to ask him anything else because he disappeared. I was still enjoying this seafood cooked simply deliciously. No matter how hard I tried at home, it would never turn out like theirs. I couldn’t find the secret to cooking them like that myself. I cooked whatever I wanted in my spare time, and this dish was my favorite. I was so happy when I saw this restaurant had a band. The music, the wine and the food made everything special. I just hoped Mike loved dancing and would invite me, as I loved dancing. My chances with Kevin were slim because he hated music, or so I thought.“It’s not the place for painful memories,” I scolded myself in my thoughts.I tasted the cold wine the waiter brought us even though Mike had left for a little while. As I sipped from the glass, I heard the strains of a love song. My mouth got caressed by a sweet taste and a special music spoiled my hearing. The wine and that melody blended perfectly, transporting me to a world I had never seen
Shadows of the Past NOT NOW, CARLA!
MIKEWhen I walked into the restaurant, everyone was giving me positive signs. Everyone was smiling and was happy for me. I went to the place where I was playing with the band. I was the second guitarist in a band that had been established for a couple of years. The lead singer of the band was a professional with years of experience behind him. He started his band after the previous one broke up. With the help of their manager, they turned out a great band. The vocalist saw great potential in me, but they couldn’t accept me as a full member. I never knew the reasons, but I always suspected it was because of their manager.When the band was absent, I was the one to fill in for them, under the orders of the restaurant manager. He was a soulful man who was always there when I needed him. He told me I was like a child to him. When the accident happened, he felt that only music was going to keep me alive after my wife died. He kept me with him and helped me get into this band. When I wa
Shadows of the Past DREAMS, HOPES, DESIRES
EMILYDreams, hopes, desires, look how they all flew away on the wind over the sea and were blown far away from me. Once again, I fell for it. I believed love existed; I believed in purity, sincerity, and what did I get? God, I was gullible again and now my heart is again torn into a thousand pieces. If before I went out to dinner with him I got excited now disappointment has taken hold of me. A positive outlook for the future was out of the question, as I felt the world had fallen apart. This depression again caught me in the same trap set from which I could not escape. I felt like I was in a deep abyss from which there was no escape.When I saw him here, I wished I had chased him away, only I promised myself I would change. Once I stepped onto this new land, I promised a change was coming. The old bad and immature habits had to be banished, and I did. No fuss! I should have behaved as badly as I could because it humiliated me, but I didn’t. I sat in my seat and gathered what littl
Shadows of the Past SO, HE WAS RIGHT?
EMILY“What are you doing my dear? How’s life by the sea?” Olivia asked me. “Here we are dying of heat. Honestly, you wouldn’t want to be here.”“I’m fine, Olivia,” I replied in as normal a tone as possible.“Hey what’s wrong with you? You sound sad.” “I’m fine, really.”“Hey, who do you think you’re kidding? I know something upset you. I know you. Tell me what happened to you. Don’t make me get on the first plane out here and check you out. You know I can do it.”“Fine! Calm down! I’ll tell you.” I paused for a moment while I took a deep breath to build up my courage, then continued, “Olivia, I think I’m in love.”“Wow! That’s great. Why are you sad? You’re not still thinking about that jerk, are you? If you’d let me, then I’d have told him a thing or two. ““No, God forbid! I’m not thinking about Kevin. Let him be happy with his mistress. I’m in love with Mike.”“Great! I’m really glad.” There was a brief pause and then she asked me seriously. “What does he say? He’s a great guy wh
Shadows of the Past HATE AND DESIRE
MIKE“What did you cook? What are we going to serve?” “Surprise! I won’t tell you until we get home.”The longer I stayed around her, the stronger I felt the dancing butterflies in my stomach. My heart was pounding and my breathing was labored. On the way, I was as attentive to the road as possible, but I was still glancing at her. She was gorgeous in whatever she wore. It was clear that I had fallen madly in love with this woman I once considered an enemy and knew nothing about. All I knew was that she was suffering, but nothing more. I wondered if I was crazy; to have fallen in love with the woman I considered an enemy was immoral.For the first time, I wasn’t interested in a woman’s past, which was strange for me too. When I met Mary, I was so curious about her past. I wanted to know all about her. What kind of woman she was, where she came from, what family she had, what she liked... everything. I even asked some friends what they thought of her, which I later found embarrassin
Shadows of the Past THAT BASTARD AGAIN!
EMILYA hotter kiss than this I’ve never had. There was a mad struggle inside me between the conscience that wanted to bring me to raw reality and the hormones that were totally out of control. His body seemed to boil with the mad desire to kiss every nook and cranny of my body. The look in his eyes gave me such assurance, his eyes burned with a fiery glow and an insane passion to make me his.I could feel the heat from the thrill of passion rising to my head like a mist clouding my thoughts and forcing me to think only of the wet hotness of his mouth and his body tense with desire. My mind went crazy, and all I wanted was to have touched his naked body and the manhood I felt growing. My hormones were unraveling one by one forcing me to react to all the advances Mike was making on me. Although an inner voice was screaming louder and louder, warning me of the danger that might come, I couldn’t listen to anything because at that moment I was determined to have let myself be carried a
Shadows of the Past GAME OF DESTINY
EMILYI wish he had released me from the hold he had me in. Already the panic was getting worse and my mind was foggy from all the events. There were so many questions playing dangerously in my brain that I could feel myself slowly losing consciousness, something I didn’t want around that man.“What have I got to do with you and your mischief? Do I have proof that you cheated on me? Go away now and leave me alone. Give me the divorce of your own free will or you will suffer the consequences,” I told him in a more lost voice. He laughed and let me go. My hands were already aching. I wished I had such strength that I could have picked him up and forced him out myself, but it wasn’t possible. “I’m not going anywhere, baby.”“Kevin, leave or I’ll call the police.”“You won’t dare. I’m your husband. No one believes that I, such a loving husband, would hurt you. People will laugh at you and not at me. You have no more proof that I’ve cheated on you.”“You are no longer my husband. I’m sur
Shadows of the Past MY PLACE OF HEART
MIKEI went to the cemetery where I usually found my inner self and calmed down. It was where I always found the answers to questions and made the best decisions. I didn’t know how I drove there. If no police car was following me, it meant it was relatively okay.I sat down on the bench in front of the cross and stayed that way for a good few minutes. The weather was gorgeous. The sun was in the sky in all its glory and was spreading its hot rays over the unbroken expanse, giving everyone a great deal of excitement. “Why did you let me fall in love with that woman? You knew it was her. Why didn’t you tell me? How could life be so cruel and steal you both away from me, and now I fall in love with my fiercest enemy? I fell in love with the very one who took our happiness with no remorse.” Tears streamed down my cheeks. Though I wished I had held back my tears, because it was not very becoming for a man to cry, I honestly couldn’t and gave my emotions free rein.“It was her, wasn’t it?
