James' POV

(FOUR MONTHS LATER)

The 29th of June became a significant date ingrained in my head since last year. It was the day Calla's mum,Mrs Hannah Grayson passed away. I remember rushing back to Boston because I felt something shift in the universe after she took her last breath. I remember seeing her around in the faces of passerbys. I remember picking up the phone call from Julie that day and clawing my chest with my palm,like I wanted to stop the sudden rushed of ache and guilt I felt from keeping the secret of her cancer being terminal.

Today,and a year later, I was back in Boston with the same bitter taste in my mouth. Though,I was free from carrying all that weight of guilt,I couldn't help but carry the weight of Calla's burdened heart of missing her mother. I missed her too.

Aunty Kathy had made an organization for her sister's one year remembrance and art donations. Family and friends were gathered in Calla's house and the clouds in the sky darkened, threatening to pour do

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Ninety Six

    EPILOGUE The road is still wet from the rain that fell last night. James was driving the car with Calla in the shot gun seat and their five years old daughter, Anna in the back seat. Anna was singing a song that had been stuck in her head for days. James glenced at his wife and she chuckled at the Anna's wrong lyrics and off key tune."When are we gonna get there?" Calla asked."We'd be there soon." James assures her.They had spend most of the hours on the plane to Boston. It was the first time in five years since they decided to come back to this city. The bittersweet taste and nostalgic breeze of home brush their faces as the cold air came through the driver's window side of the car.James whined up the glass immediately,so Anna doesn't catch a cold. They were back to the place they had fallen for each other,the place the universe brought them together,the place where most of their stories unfolded. They were here to visit Calla's mother's grave. Today makes it ten years ago since

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Ninety Five

    Calla's POV I waited by the door, peeping through the hallway. No one was insight. I closed the door back and walked up to the mirror. Ginny had just stepped out to speak with the videographer. My wedding was starting soon and everyone was back bent trying to get everything in place. I was alone in my room as I let the makeup on my face settle. I looked at my wedding gown hung on the dresser door just by the mirror and I was thrown back to being twelve again,day dreaming of this day. My dress was a new collection of Halt Fashion line that Julie and I created. It was a masterpiece and it swelled every emotion in me,just looking at it.I looked into the mirror and cracked a smile. It was happening,I was getting married to James today. It seems just like yesterday I had walked into Ranault Wine office in Boston, excited for an interview that ended up changing the trajectory of Halt Fashion and my life. It's kinda funny how the young boy I thought was arrogant is now the only person i

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Ninety four

    James' POVI thought about this day for a very long time. I never thought I'd get married,which makes everything very paradoxical. When I was little and I'd see my parents go feral; my dad on my mum and my mum on herself-- in complete self-destruction. I knew I never wanted that for myself. So,I blocked every possibility. I'd self sabotage and wait for an end in very romantic relationship like I expected it to. Then,all my life changed when I met Calla. It still feels just like a dream. How did I get so drawn to her that I couldn't ignore my feelings?I remember our first fight in Paris and how I almost lost my mind or when we moved to different cities. With Calla,I couldn't lock that part of myself. I couldn't hide,everything she looked at me I felt naked. She saw every flaw I had,every scar,every trauma and she helped heal them. She loved me beyond the baggages of my family. And I loved her in ways I didn't think was possible.Today,we we're getting married. I stood in front of

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Ninety Three

    Calla's POV James have been acting weird since we left the house. He was more quiet and he looked lost in thought most of the time. It was probably because I bought up the bar from Boston. I should have been more sensitive. James and his family have been outcasts in Boston since the news of Mr Ranault murder surfaced on the news,since the trial and even after his death. James,his sister and his mother have been away from Boston ever since. I forgot how much life he had there before everything tore them apart.We were in the car driving to the movie place he spoke about. He was sweating and heating up a few minutes ago. Now,he just looked flustered. He didn't even turn to look at me until we got there.The place was some an open field in a golf course. There were blankets on the ground and cars parked around. We parked our car and walked closer to the place where people were. There was a big screen, and the only light around was the one coming from the projector to reflect on the sc

    Calla's POV Ginny and I were stuck in traffic after driving down to New Jersey to visit her cousin. She ended up getting a new braids there, leading to us staying longer than we should have. It was already getting late and just when we thought we made it to the road we were stuck of traffic."What do you think is causing this much traffic?" Ginny said frustratedly. She hits the horn on the stiring wheel and pushed her back to the seat. "I don't know...they were filling the potholes when we were coming..." I said tossing a gum in my mouth."At this time? I doubt." She sighed.I strained my eyes to look forward but I could only see cars not moving miles ahead. "Maybe an accident happened.""Ahh...shit." Ginny exclaimed.She pulled down the front mirror and was looking at her braids proudly. She glanced at me quickly before looking away. I guess she felt really bad for keeping us late,but for a moment I swear, I saw a crippling smirk on her face. Maybe she was just excited about her ne
