Dexter (POV)A few weeks ago, on the flight home from the majestic mountains. I spent the entire time on the plane writing songs for my new album."My Dance With You." Inspired by Taesha Tran, I signed smiling.One song after another pours out of me like hot lava. Beautiful melodies came from my perfectionism, and every detail I wrote from it's inception to its conclusion came from heartfelt feelings. Each lyric I jotted down embodied my experience with Taesha for those four beautiful days and nights.The album was about her making me feel pure and alive. I couldn't hear the sound of music without thinking of Taesha. All my thoughts of Taesha became poetic lyrics. 'She was such a beautiful, free-spirited, independent soul.'Taesha inspired feelings within me without us having sexual contact. 'It seems Impossible!' I thought. But that's when I knew I had become a changed man, a different man, a better man because of a woman of quality. It came time to go into the studio to record my a

I toss the phone on my king-size bed as I prepare to get dressed for a party I was the least interested in attending. I promise you, if Riley weren't family, I wouldn't go tonight to this event. I wanted to call Taesha tonight, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. When I do call her, I don't want anything to interfere. I'm going to make sure my schedule is all clear. So I stand in my walk-in closet, trying to figure out what to wear. Everything is already color-coordinated. My stylist has the closet organized with black items to my left and gray clothing to my right. The pinstripe white and gray shirts are in one section, and my ties come in shades of blues, reds, golds, and multi-colors. That way, it wouldn't matter which one I picked. It all will match superbly. But tonight, I'm not going to wear a tie that would require me to put on a suit. So, I pick something else to wear from the casual section in my closet. "Humm, what to wear?" I tap my finger on my chin. Then, I begin

Candance sat there shaking her head. At the same time, Dexter expressed what has been sitting in his heart for ten years."I don't like to have to repeat things of the past, and I was willing to let by gone be by gone, but you showed up here asking me to give you another chance. So you must have forgotten. I told you something that I have never shared with anyone. Remember Candance, that conversation?"She hung her head, nodding yes. Dexter went on to recant word for word that conversation that night for her. "What is it, Dexter? You can share anything with me. I love you with all my heart." "I know. That's why I'm opening up to you. Uhmm, my secret is I have a rare and complicated form of color blindness." "Oh my God! What does that mean? You can't see any colors at all?" "Well, as I grew up, the amount of color I can see diminished over the years. By the time I'd turned four, I couldn't see anything in color anymore." "Candance, you became very quiet that night, like you

Taesha's (POV)I knew how getting involved with another culture worked. My family probably won't be as accepting this time around after dealing with Sean's craziness. After what he and his family had put my family and me through. I sighed. How can I forget that we were two different races? His sky-blue eyes alone should have been enough of a reminder. There's just something special about that man. Dexter truly makes me forget everything important. I returned to work, trying not to think about Dexter, a guy who would never leave my heart because of his kindness. Looking back, the separation and long distance are far more challenging and painful than I thought they would be, as it had only been a short time. How could I become so attached? It's not making any sense what's so ever!One evening while at home alone, I decided to close the shop early and come home and relax and rest. I lay there on my couch watching TV late that evening. I wore a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt with my ha

Taesha couldn’t believe it was fall season already. Pleasant days and cool nights. It was two months of waiting to hear something from Dexter. The last few weeks before the two months ended was the most anticipated time for Taesha because it was time to receive and follow Dexter's explicit instructions, which she had been mentally preparing to implement for months.She and Cameron lived off that video. But, at first, Cameron was skeptical about telling her friend what she thought about this guy. “Taesha, what do you know about this guy? You only spent four days with him.”“True, but it was four days and nights for 24 hours. The night we stayed up, we discussed everything from A to Z. I feel I know him enough to follow his instructions. He’s not going to ask me to do something ridiculous. So stop worrying about me. He’s a level-headed person.”Finally, Cameron gave up and waited for the instruction to decide whether Taesha should comply. ~~~Late one evening, Taesha came home from wo
