Dimension Candy Novels & Stories

"This fruity one's too sweet, and the chocolate's too heavy. Maybe we should skip the candy for the favors?" Jade scrunched her brow. "We have to include candy. It's a Greenville thing." Helma gave a nonchalant shrug. "Your turn to taste-test then. I've tried like a dozen already." Jade's smile was soft. "I'm scared I'll pack on pounds if I overdo the sugar." At that, Helma, who was just licking some sticky sugar off her finger, shot her a mock-angry look. "And I won't?"

I ask, raising an eyebrow. He grins mischievously. "Screaming. I've been doing it in the bathroom so I don't scare you, Mom and Aunt Lila." "Oh wow," Ava deadpans. "So brave." Derrick ignores her and skips ahead, already lost in his own world of sugary funnel cakes and dizzying rides. "And after the roller coaster, I'm getting cotton candy. The blue one. 'Cause blue is the fastest flavor." "Fastest flavor?" I laugh. "That's not even a thing."

I guess I'll just have breakfast, I'm still kind of hungry. I could head over to Lizie's, but she's still probably asleep and hungover from last night and she's definitely covered in the arms of her lover, Garret. I could head over to Derone's, but I'm still pissed at him and he isn't much of a talker when I head over to his apartment, if you know what I mean. So, I opted for my favorite café. On my way to the café, my eye caught a banner that said 'coffee trailer.' I could use some fresh air with iced coffee and avocado toasts. I parked my car at the nearest convenience store and walked towards the coffee trailer.

He simply held his hand over his chest, gesturing silently that he was honored by the introduction. “He is mute,” she explained simply, and then, without pause, started cutting the long bundle of candy into neat pieces. Finally, Denise presented me with a selection of different candies and sweets arranged attractively on a platter. “This is Reid’s specialty; he is a candymaker, or more accurately, a sweets maker,” she chuckled warmly as she positioned herself on a stool beside me. I took a bite of one piece and realized immediately that it was delicious. It was not sickly sweet, yet it was completely addicting. “It is good,” I said, offering her a contented smile.

“You have to. You've got to get better because I am counting on you in the future.” After a moment without a response from Rivera, she added, “Okay?” Rivera bit her lower lip helplessly, not believing Candy’s words. After a minute, she sighed and picked up a macaron, then stretched it toward Candy. Candy made a face and shook her head. “Oh God, no. I've had enough of those.” Rivera looked at her, but Candy remained unwavering. After several minutes of a silent battle, Rivera retreated with a sigh and bit into the first snack.

I did not infact want any of it, save for the few mango flavored candy, oh and the sour patch packets, but I could not, in my right mind let her have all that sugar. “No way, I did all the work.” That much I could not argue with. Angie was leaning on the couch-not sitting- as she ate a bowl of gelato with ketchup. Urrgh. The horror. “Mummy screamed when she saw a chainsaw man.” Heidi promptly announced, Angie snorted. “Look at all the candy I got. I’m going to have so many cavities!” “first off, It was the terrifier and well…he was terrifying, second, that candy is gonna last you till you turn eighteen.” Heidi wasn’t even listening.

Chris said and took a bite from his own cotton candy. “See, it's edible, and it tastes great. It melts immediately it touches your tongue.” Chris said to Tanya. “Well….okay.” Tanya said and took a bite. Two seconds after taking a bite, her face brightened up with a big smile. “Wow. It tastes just like sugar mixed with honey, just that it dissolves quickly.” “See!! I told ya.” Chris said with a sense of achievement. “Quick. Quick. Go get some more.” Tanya said.

I’d just survived the ‘Public Display of Lip-lock Disaster’, and now I was about to play ‘Guess What the Man Who Could Kill Me in Six Seconds Doesn’t Know About Me’. Knox didn’t even pretend to refuse. He lounged back, one arm draped over the backrest, his gaze fixed on me. “Go ahead, Little Cherry. Make me curious.” He murmured, enough to make it sound like a fuckin’ dare. I shot him a narrow-eyed smile. “Alright. Something you don’t know about me…” I said putting on my best thoughtful face. “Hmm… here is one, when I was twelve, I got chased by a goose for stealing its bread.”

"What do you mean, disease?!" "Okay! Don't yell at me!" "I'm sorry Eboni, but-" "She got something called Fre-erasia, or…something like that." Fre-erasia? He repeated the word over and over trying to understand it. "Look, Candyman, Juicy's customers keep calling here asking for her and cussing us out. She going to lose her customer's if she ain't careful."

"Yes, it's time for me to kiss you." Pulling away... Merrigold took four steps away from him. "...not in public...what if someone...especially your father—" "Everyone knows exactly how we made our children, them seeing us kiss is merely close to nothing." Merrigold sighed looking around at the acres of land with huge stems of sugar cane surrounding them. The little gravel road in between, leading into the Cunningham Plantation. "I do not want you to leave..." "Why?" Austin teased.
