Working was becoming a little bit stressful for Vanessa who was already in her second trimester yet with her usual body perfection she gained little weight. Her colleagues at work assisted in ways they could and that helped Vanessa a lot. A lot of customers liked her and gave her huge tips which Vanessa saved up for her baby. She was determined to keep the child despite her colleagues ' opinions. They had wanted her to have an abortion at the early stage but she had refused. Mrs Scarlet advised Vanessa to have the baby and then give it up for adoption but Vanessa wanted to raise the child herself. She knew it would cost her time, money and opportunities but she was willing to sacrifice her life for her babys'. It was a cool evening, Vanessa had just begun her afternoon shift attending to customers cheerfully. A young good-looking man in expensive-looking clothes came in. He took a seat close to the window overlooking the driveway and signalled to Clara a twenty-one-year-old girl who
Henry dropped off Hayley at her house and drove off with Joana. An hour later Henry was ringing Hayley's doorbell. Hayley invited him inside and poured him a drink. They stood on her balcony admiring the panoramic view from her house, the twinkling lights of Las Vegas by night a city so beautiful and intriguing. Henry couldn't take his eyes off her. He reached out pulled her close to him, took her oval face in his hands and stared into her soulful beautiful eyes. Lowering his head, he kissed her full on the lips. They kissed for a long time as the warm air washed over them. Hayley took Henry by the hand and led him inside the bedroom. Henry undressed her quickly. His eyes swept all over her sensuous body. Their bodies came together like magnets. He caressed her smooth body. Her skin felt so sensuous and velvety. His mouth was hot and greedy over hers. Hayley moaned softly. He scooped her in his hands and laid her on the bed. Henry began to suck her breasts. Covering them with his hands
Chris and Vanessa sat in the fourth row in the concert hall. They were a little bit early as there were still some empty seats around them. Vanessa sat quietly looking pretty in her outfit, the light blue ball cap polka-dotted with small white daises, a white tank top, tan chino shorts, and the turquoise-trimmed Keen Chris had given her as a gift. Chris couldn't take his eyes off her throughout the entire evening. Vanessa would smile whenever she caught Chris staring at her. After the recital, which they both enjoyed, they both got into Chris's red Aston Martin convertible with a white interior which set the red off, such as the car shouting "Look at me, I'm beautiful". Traffic was light as they headed towards Vanessa's apartment. They didn't talk much during the drive, which was unusual for them, as they both relaxed with their thoughts as tunes from one of the Little Big Town's albums painted lovely visions of other folks also enjoying life.Chris pulled up in the parking lot, got ou
Vanessa slammed her locker."Stupid combination," she mumbled.Jacqueline bounded up to her in the junior hallway. She sometimes reminded Vanessa of Hunter a spaniel Leonard her brother owned. She trembled with excitement over anything and kept chattering leaving Vanessa wishing she had magic to turn her into a toad like the wishing well."Guess what is happening tonight," Jacqueline shrieked.Vanessa rolled her eyes. She hated guesses but Jacqueline didn't care. She once told an introverted Vanessa that being quiet could make her get a mouth ulcer. "What?""Paige is having a party!" Jacqueline said and whopped loudly causing a few students to look their way."So?" Vanessa whispered."So?" Jacqueline repeated, her eyebrows drawn together. Vanessa stared at her navy blue deep-set eyes which had widened in surprise. Jacqueline loved parties. She loves music, festivals, concerts and just anything noisy. She was scrappy, fearless and had a smart mouth, unlike Vanessa who was shy and quie
"Bye," Jacqueline waved to Vanessa as she alighted from the school bus. Vanessa walked into her home. She was greeted by Hunter, Leonard's spaniel as usual. She walked into her room stopping briefly to look at the picture frame that hung on the wall. It was a picture they took as a family at her twelfth birthday party. She sighed as she walked into her room. She showered, changed into a jumper and walked into the kitchen. She quickly made some toast, grabbed a can of Pepsi and sat down to eat. She had planned to call Greg to ask him if he could drive her over to Paige's house.Her phone rang and she paused thinking it was Greg calling to ask if she was home already. It was her dad."Hi Dad," Vanessa said biting into her toast."Hey, sweetie. Umm...are you home?""Umm," she replied with her mouth full."Err...Listen you shouldn't wait up for me alright? I have some work to do so..."Vanessa quickly swallowed."I understand Dad," she said and then remembered the party. "Hey, Dad,""Yea
Greg broke off as suddenly as he kissed her. He felt stupid for making out with his best friend's sister. He hadn't expected to feel this way with a minor. He got into the car, started the engine and waited for her to get in. Vanessa stood astonished. Her skin was burning from his touch. All she could hear was her heartbeat. This was unbelievable. It was a dream come true. She had kissed the one and only Mr Gorgeous. She touched her lips which were swollen from that hot kiss. She was overjoyed. Vanessa turned to go get her bag but changed her mind and decided to get it tomorrow. She got into the car and Greg drove off. They didn't say anything to each other on the way home. In a few minutes, Greg pulled up at Vanessa's house. "Good night," Greg said."Good night," Vanessa whispered her voice trembling and got out of the car. Greg waited till she was in the house before driving off. Peter wasn't home yet so Vanessa screamed with joy immediately she got into the house. She ran to her
Leonard's death left his family devastated. Mia, Vanessa's mother was the most affected by Leonard's death. She had given up her job as a teacher to tend to him. She had read him newspapers, and books when his eyesight failed. She, Vanessa and Greg had taken turns holding his hands when he hallucinated. And when he died, Mia broke down mentally and physically. She couldn't eat or sleep. As a result, she became distant and frail. She was admitted to the hospital and in a few days she returned home. Soon the spells began all over again, she ate a little, talked to herself and would occasionally call Leonard in her sleep. She was taken back to the hospital where she spent many weeks. Leonard’s funeral was brief. It was attended by some of Vanessa’s relatives, family friends and all who knew Leonard. Mia was at the hospital and couldn’t attend the funeral. Greg had flown in from Las Vegas to attend the funeral. He was heartbroken. He looked at Vanessa as she wept profusely as she watched
Vanessa and Greg lay sprawled on the bed. Their bodies were almost liquid with released sensuality. Finally, Vanessa understood what the fuss was all about. She had heard sex stories but she and Jacqueline had never tried it. Jacqueline's reason was she had a strict Catholic upbringing and had promised her mother she would get married as a virgin while hers was she hadn't met someone she liked as much as she liked Greg to try it with. Greg lay thinking. Leonard suddenly came to his mind. Leonard had asked him to take care of his sister and he had made love to her. He had taken advantage of her in this moment of grief. How could he not resist her? Why did she make him feel this way? He hadn't meant to kiss her, to make love to her. And she was a virgin. In as much as he felt attracted to Vanessa she was off-limits. He had made a mistake and wouldn't let it happen again. And the best way to do that was to never see her in person again. Greg bounded out of bed and grabbed his shirt. Va
