The Pinnacle of Life Figuring Things Out
Jaimee went for a walk after seeing her beautiful cabin and everything that should have gone so right with Sean went so terribly wrong. She shook her head trying to figure out what she could have done differently. She loved Sean, why couldn't she show him right now? Why did things feel so difficult with him and so easy with Jack? She shrugged it off and kept walking. She needed to build her strength but more importantly, she needed to clear her head. Jaimee had a ready made family with Sean. It was perfect, and yet, she couldn’t stop thinking about Jack. Jack was rough, burly and inappropriate. He didn't care about other peoples feelings. But he cared about hers. Still he just swept in out of nowhere and created chaos. He was a maddening whirlwind, but he had still swept her up and she wasn't sure what she should do about it.Why? What was it about this man and his broad shoulders, six pack abs and all over muscular physique that kept drawing her in? Sean’s beautiful mocha complexion a
The Pinnacle of Life Man Power
Sean had just finished dinner when he heard a knock at the door. Jack, he thought. Why now? He didn’t need this shit right now. They didn’t need it. He went to open the door and his cell phone started ringing in his pocket. Talk about busy, and where the Hell was Jaimee? He answered his phone and the door at the same time.“Hello?” Sean said into the phone, seeing Jack at the door and wishing he would go away.Jack, thinking he was talking to him, said, “Hi, is Jaimee around?”“I’m not talking to you.” He said to Jack, but Devan, on the other side of the phone thought he was talking to him. “No Devan, I wasn’t talking to you. I mean I am talking to you. I’m not talking to Jack. Damn it. Jack's at the door looking for your mother. I’m not sure where she is. Last time I saw her she was in her masterpiece we built her. Jack give me a minute. Come in and have a seat or wait outside. Up to you, but I’m talking to Jaimee’s son and that takes priority.” After a few seconds silence, Sean conti
The Pinnacle of Life Not Out of the Woods
Jaimee was barely clinging to life. In her mind, she and Shiloh were walking together in a beautiful field. Shiloh was running ahead on heathy legs and running back, showing off, and Jaimee was laughing at him. “You certainly are happy, Shiloh! What’s the occasion?" But somehow, Jaimee knew it was bittersweet. Shiloh came back this time and knocked Jaimee flat on her back, licking her face. Jaimee laughed and cried at the same time, “Shiloh!” She wrapped her arms around his neck and held on for dear life. "I don’t want you to leave me." He licked tears from her cheek and howled a piercing cry to his ancestors. He would be joining them soon. For the first time in a long time, Jaimee felt no pain. She looked at her right hand and it was whole again. Tears of joy started streaming down her face. She knew if she followed Shiloh into the orchard grove there would be no returning to her home or family on earth. Still, the harmony she felt was unparalleled. She was holding the fur on Shiloh
The Pinnacle of Life Thinking Back
The tube in Jaimee’s chest had been removed. Though she was still getting better and had to be in the hospital a couple more weeks, she was able to communicate at peak performance. Sean was not used to her talking so much. He was a little glad when Bruce finally showed up at the hospital. Bruce, her assistant from work, had been anxiously awaiting his chance to see his friend, but she had been having one traumatic event after another. This was the first time they had laid eyes on one another since Baddie’s Burgers opening day and he truly missed his boss.“Girlfriend!” Jaimee and Bruce said to one another when their eyes met. That was their inside joke with each other since day one. Bruce was a tank and had known he was gay from 7-years-old.The day Jaimee met Bruce he was sitting in the park crying. The big lug was bawling like a baby and had two roses in his massive hand. Jaimee almost walked by, but something told her to stop and ask him if he was okay, if he needed any help.He lo
The Pinnacle of Life Baddie’s Burgers
Jaimee quickly hit the snooze button on the blaring alarm clock. Dread filled her heart, realizing she had to be ready for the HUGE promotional for work today. Although she didn’t work at Baddie’s Burger’s, she did work with the advertising firm who was trying to get their new campaign off and running. The only thing that kept her nerves from being a total wreck, was the fact that after today, she was going on an EPIC vacation. Heading to Nepal to climb Mount Everest would be the adventure of a lifetime! Many would not believe the adventures she had been on from looking at her. Though she had lost over 100 pounds from her highest weight, she was still overweight and didn't look like the adventurous type. Still, the obstacles she had overcome in her life made her want to explore the world and find new things to do. She would not let anything stop her! She'd had plenty of excitement. Work, eat, sleep, repeat was mundane enough. Life simply wasn’t worth living without new and unimaginab
The Pinnacle of Life Best of the Best
Winding the Velar down her driveway, she saw Sean’s Tahoe already sitting in its usual spot. Seeing this brought her peace. Sean made her comfortable in a way no man ever had. Though in the beginning, before they were both sober, things were a bit rocky. It took him going to jail for a final time and then both seeing the bigger picture for sobriety to prevail. It's a miracle for two people to get clean together, but they had surpassed their goals and made themselves a fantastic family. As she pulled up beside his vehicle, she looked at their home together. She loved their two-story log cabin with the tin roof and stone chimney. Sean was waiting for her on the swing that centered the wraparound porch. As she walked up the steps, the moonlight was shining on his glistening, muscled chest and arms. He was so sexy, but what drew her attention, what always drew her attention, was his alluring smile. All she wanted after the long day she had, was him to hold her and say how proud he was of
The Pinnacle of Life Photographs and Memories
Waking up refreshed and rejuvenated the next morning, with no alarm clock, was amazing. Jaimee’s body felt better than it had in months. She reached over to cuddle with Sean but he wasn’t in bed. No clothes on, she found her robe laying on the foot of the bed, wrapped it around and tied it at the waist. Walking downstairs she saw him sitting on the couch, looking through her photo albums. The books were old and ragged, but they still held fond memories. Memories of a time before drugs had ravaged her mind and body and stolen her soul. When she was still youthful and vibrant. Before relationships had been damaged beyond repair. Some days it was too much for her to remember, but today felt appropriate somehow and she was glad Sean felt at ease to look at her things without asking. After all, he knew ever little detail about her: the good, the bad and the ugly. He still loved her for who she was. Sometimes she wished they shared the same interests. He was a neat freak and she was sloppy
The Pinnacle of Life The Long Way
“Let’s take the back way so I can spend a little more time with you.” Sean said as he whipped the car down the side road. It wasn't a question. He was direct and to the point. Jaimee liked when he took command. “Oh sappy and sentimental Sean. I like it.” She teased. “You’re going to be gone two whole months, that deserves a little sentiment, don’t you think?” Sean’s eyes looked distant. She could tell he was upset that she was going to be gone so long, but he was trying to hide it from her. She had known him long enough to realize he didn't like to put on a face for anyone. Always the optimistic. She loved that about him more than anything. She remembered when they were still on drugs and he was living in his car, even during the dead of winter, he never complained about anything. His spirit was always fighting to see the best of every situation and, for the first time, she understood how his constant optimism would be great on her journeys. She wished he were going too. “I love ta
