James' POV

This isn't how I wanted this to play out. My mother was a much better person in contract to my father but it's hard to look at her now that I'm grown and not get mad at her contribution to my suffering and abuse from my father as a child. I remember when I was much younger when they'd have an argument and my father will torture me as a result to hurt my mother, because we had the same face.

I just couldn't talk to her,now I was angry. And I was mad and I was sad that she never did anything to stop the monster from hiding under my bed. She never said anything on days when my father kicked me for not standing up straight. For how she stayed with him and begged at his feet when she should had walked away from him.

How did he so perfectly turned my beautiful mother to a shadow of herself?

I tied to hold it together but every part of want to stop and disappear. To ease every mark,scar and flame that made me. Was it even worth it to had gone through all that,to have my innocence

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Forty Nine

    Calla's POV On the first weekend in New York,my stomach had stopped growling from home sickness. Ginny invited me for dinner at Pizza restaurant Julie talked about and it turned out they didn't only serve pizza there. In fact,the restaurant was very 90's themed with different cultural themes.I couldn't tell if it was cultural appropriation to sell in this capitalist market or if it was just cultural appropriation since New York was filled with people from different cultural backgrounds.I couldn't quite wrap my head around the name though."I thought this was an Italian restaurant?" I finally asked Ginny after we settled down in one of the boots."It isn't..." Ginny said."But...but,the name's Squisito Pizza but there wearing Japanese robes and, there's a whole lot of other cultural cuisine here.""Well..yeah..." She said, completely she zoned out of our conversation as her eyes gazed behind my ears."Ginny..." a tall dark man with long wavy hair approached us. He wore a Japanese ro

    James' POV The worst thing that has ever happened to me, happened. And it happened the day I found out about my Father's multiple murder and corruption. My whole world fell apart,the vail of things completely disappeared and the mist about my reality cleared completely.I thought wearing a nose mask will take all the attention off me but that didn't help as much as I thought it would. I mean, shouldn't that be a good thing considering I was protecting my health and the health of other people, from any pandemic or airborne diseases out there. No,that wasn't the case,the stares stated out as subtle glences then I watched the security whisper amongst themselves like I was some type of terrorist or wanted criminal. I bow my head in anticipation because I knew they would come up to me.And they did. "Sir,can I see your ID?" One of the security officers walked up to me while I waited in the waiting lounge for my plane to call passengers to check in."I'm sorry is something wrong?" I asked

    Calla's POV "You should check out the pizza place down the street." Julie said. I gasped out. "There's a pizza place down the street?""Yeah,they make one of the best pizza in Harlem."I chuckled."Alright, I'd do that.""Have fun, explore,go out and learn the place. You have this week to rest so you better use it well." Julie said.Julie grew up in New Jersey but growing up she shuffled around New York as well,so it only made sense she decided to open her branch here in New York. She had friends and family members here,I didn't know anyone so it really isn't as easy as she made it sound. Besides,I was in one of the biggest city in the world,no one ever gets use to a big city not even those that grew up there."Okay..." I agreed. Stuff like this,you can't really win with Julie."Okay...I'd call you later. I have a meeting." She says. My coffee reached boiling point and the whistle sound screamed from the kitchen."Alright."The line went off and I rushed to pour myself a cup of coffe

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Forty Six

    James' POV A bright light beams from my phone lit through the darkness of my apartment. I rolled over to my side and looked at screen with Calla's name on it. I got up immediately and ran to the light switch. Surprisingly,I didn't trip over anything. I turned it on swiftly and the bright light viciously shined in my apartment. My phone kept vibrating in my hand as I tried to get comported as I cringed at my dramatic breakdown a few hours ago. I struggle to tighten the grip on my phone without being too clumsy and dropping it. Then,I clicked accepted video call.My heart jumped in my chest as her beautiful face appears on the rectangle box in my hand. It s crazy how much of someone you can feel just be seeing them through your screen.Of course,it isn't the same as touching her in real time,but I was grateful for technology and whoever the fuck thought about creating this. It was brilliant-- exceptionally brilliant."Hi." She greeted with a toothy grin that could only melt me ways uni

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Forty Five

    Calla's POV I landed in New York a little after 4pm and I was escorted to my apartment by a guy Julie hired. I got to my apartment and it was located on the fifth floor of the building. It was already furnished and it had a pretty balcony and a fire escape. All this couldn't replace the pounding ache and loneliness I felt.My fingers gently rubbed the bracelet James gave me earlier. I was broken and in a new city I had never been before. I didn't know what to do so I just sat there,like a furniture as I tied to blend into the scripts of my new reality."Oh God!...did I make a mistake?" Is thought out loud. I dreaded this part and I knew this thought will run through my mind. What if I gave up on James to chase dust? I shiver as my mind rewinds on our interaction at the airport. He acted so nonchalant,and I felt he was truly letting me go but at the same time, everything was so contradictory because his eyes were scared to meet mine. It's just us. James and I were always going to be

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Forty Four

    James' POVI got myself twisted in the threads of comments concerning my father's case. People's opinion had never gotten to me in the past but I felt torn reading the hateful comments about my family because of my father's murderous and evil decisions. A comment claimed that Vinora and I did drugs and help sell it for our father. That wasn't true,why will they write awful stuff like that? Perhaps,I should have expected it. Society is cruel to the outcast and those around them. Apart from my father who deserves everything worst,did we really deserve this hate? Maybe,they are right,we should have known and we should have stopped him earlier from ruining so many people's lives.I didn't realize Calla walked into the living room until she grabbed my phone from my hands. I rolled over on the couch to get a proper view of her as she walked around and stood in front of me."You're not reading the comments again are you?" She rolled her eyes in disapproval.I threw my head back in frustrati
