"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced."
-James Baldwin-
***
Vian waited for the man to show up to retrieve the gift and in the meantime she was busy people gazing and observing her surrounding, being in the present moment had always been quite calming for her. Instead of worrying to much about things she could not control she let her body be in the present moment. Though the serenity would not last long because soon enough she saw a familiar figure from afar.
It was none other than Carson and the history repeated itself. Actually no, she never had any moments with him like this but her initial instinct was to run away as fast as possible from where she was. Her feeling was telling her to go but her legs felt like they were glued to the table floor and by the time she was able to stand up he was already approaching her.
“Vian, I am glad I am finally able to meet you

"The interesting thing is why we're so desperate for this anesthetic against loneliness."-David Foster Wallace-***Carson laid down in his bed after he was done playing with the random prostitute he had hired to accompany him that night. The red haired woman had her arms wrapped around his chest while her face faced him. The woman had a smudged red lips on the side and slightly messed up hair, but it was the aftermath of their sex session which lasted for nearly an hour.“How do you like it?” She asked him as she trailed her nails across his chest in a seductive motion, subtly making an attempt to arouse him again. He turned to her and put on a fake smile as a response, barely saying a word, which was more his style. He enjoyed her performance but she was not enough for him. Nothing was really enough for him and he did not know why. No matter how many women he had sex with, it was never enough for him. Not because o

"It's a good idea always to do something relaxing prior to making an important decision in your life."-Paulo Coelho-***The best thing about going to a spa is how heightened your senses would be the minute you enter the space. From the scent of calming familiarity, blends of different floral or tea scented massage oils mixed with a bit of wood, the perfect placement of lighting at each corner and the soft, relaxing music which you could hear the minute you were there worked like magic to bring you in a mood of serenity. It was the best place to play with your senses.Though one could do spa at home, nothing could beat the experience at a real spa, unless you have a professional bringing home the spa into your house, which includes the interiors needed, for some people, at home spa actually meant at home spa.

What do you want to eat? Let’s go have dinner together.” She was hungry but she was not really feeling anything heavy. She thought about it for a second and listened to her gut.“I want to eat something light, maybe some salad. Can we go to a salad bar in town?”“Okay, my love. Let’s go and have some salad if that’s what you’re craving.” He drove the car to a salad bar at the heart of the city. Of course, they served more

For her, the family’s image was more important than how they members were feeling, she put no second thought before putting Vian’s life in danger just like that.He knew he would probably stir up some fire within the woman and he knew he was supposed to help Vian gain her favor but at this state he saw nothing good coming out from merely trying to impress her.
