(Background song: Memories by Maroon 5)
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Gazing straight ahead, only half-aware of a world outside the claustrophobic comfort of the car, his hands stroking the wheel, the almost soundless changing of the gears, the pattern of traffic lights, it blinks red.
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
The light turned green.
The silver gray Mercedes S600 cruised down the freeway, travelling south.
There's a time that I remember
When I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever
And everything would stay the same
Ethan was sitting in the front passenger seat with so much soft leather around him that he could barely hear the 389 horsepower,6-liter engine...
Now my heart feel like December
When somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you
But I know I will one day, yeah
At eighty miles per hour the engine was only odling.
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, ay ay
But everything gon' be alright
Go on raise a glass and say, ay
Ethan could feel the power of the car, turning left to park at his favorite coffee shop that he could sight from afar.
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
His hands moved to the aux cord connecting his phone to his car to unplug but hesitated to discern the lyrics.
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
"Vroom...." Turning to park at his very own reserved spot, the engine gave a dying sound.
A tall man in baggy saggy clothes stepped out of a car that didn't benefit his looks.
His head down, walking towards a lonely table at the edge of the shop, close to a window that had the outermost view, totally reserved.
"Good morning sir" the familiar waitress smiling at him greets.
"Hmm..,just get me my usual" he said, not really in the mood for much chit-chat.
She immediately nodded and turned her back to leave, his eyes trail the way her hips moved from side to side.
Before he could let himself get any bored, she was already here with his favorite coffee, cappuccino to be precise.
"Thanks," he said nicely, raising his cup to take a sip, only for him to still feel the figure of this living female smiling lustly at him.
"Can I help you?" scandalizing in disgust.
"Oh.. not at all" she winked at him, biting her lower lips, she turned her back to walk away, faster than the other time, he admired her courage but he wasn't quite interested in flirtatious women.
His eyes blinked off her direction to watch the amazing view of beautiful creatures moving to get to each of their destinations, while he sips his hot coffee.
They looked so happy, different emotions played out on the street, some looked so in love, others sad, yes sad! just like him,he wonders what took their happiness,he wonders if they would find it, if they could find happiness again?.
"Greeeee..." the sound of the shop bell rang,the door swung open.
The sound of children's laughter and their tiny feet running inside the coffee shop, he could hear them struggle on who gets to sit first.
"Careful Ray! You're gonna hurt your sister" the sweet female voice warned.
Ethan was far too involved with the world, he didn't take his eyes off the people walking on the street.
"Hahahahaha... I know right, they can be headache sometimes but they are amazing" this time around,Ethan's eyes went wide, he looked like he had just seen a ghost, thousands of thoughts running through his head.
"I know that laughter, it can't be.. I thought she.. this can't be.."
His eyes turned to behold the woman he had waited for all these years,the only person he had loved, the one who took away his happiness.
He stood up to take a better look, just to be sure he wasn't dreaming,just as her brown big eyes caught his.
She was staring at him in confusion and total astray.
"Do I know you Mr?" Traducing Her question hit him like a thunderbolt.
"Nuella?"Baffled, He said almost out of breath.
"Uhhhm, sorry I think you've got the wrong person" but before she could utter more words, the little infant called upon her.
"Cecilia" The little boy of at least 10 years yelled her name.
"Coming Ray" looking at the little ones directions, signifying them to have patience, she turned back in his direction.
"I'll have to go Mr" she immediately turned her back to face him but hesitated at every step she took back to her kids.
"It was nice to meet you" she said from a distance, he wanted to say a lot at once, but the words were held up inside his throat and it choked him right there.
He couldn't believe what had just happened. Just some second ago, he was almost dying of happiness to see the one woman he wanted to see for five years, five whole years!.
"Kids" he wondered how come she has two.
"Why doesn't she recognize me?How come she has kids?How come she doesn't recognize me?." He felt something was totally off, he felt heart broken.
Sitting back on his seat, just to watch her leave with her kids, their eyes collided.
If he was ever healing from the death of his lover,this new wound would take more than five more years to heal.
"What if it wasn't her? Does she have a twin?, Was she a ghost?." His mind wondered even the more, maybe it was an illusion.
Here he was waiting for her to come back to him, and she had already moved on.
The knife in his chest had dug many holes
Nuella's POVHe grabbed me by the waist, pulling me up close against his chest. His hand gently glided through my hair, as he looked at me in a way he had never looked at a girl before.My eyes were candles in that night, their light a spark of passion... desire. As a small but teasing smile crept upon my face, goosebumps lined my skin, not the kind that one gets in the cold, but the kind one gets when nothing else matters except right here, right now.I have every intention of punishing Ethan until his hand touches my face. The acceleration of my heart-rate has nothing to do with fear but everything to do with what my body really wants.I look away as if the outside world holds my attention, but after all this time he reads me like a book, eyes on my chest, my breathing rate duly noted.With a gentle finger he reorients my face so that he holds the gaze I didn't want to give him, stealin
"Grrr...grrr.." the Telecom phone rang, sitting up to pick."Hey beautiful" the handsome voice from the phone called out to me."Hey baby, where are you" I asked, quite eager to see him."Uhmmmm....am in the arms of another,guess what?" He asked, but am sure he knew I wasn't scared he was with another.(I mean he can't possibly do that to me,he can't do without me plus am the only one who can stand his crazy desire )."Who? Benedick!" I cursed and let a quick smile."Ohh..she's go...od, and.... Uhmmmm" was that a moan?, was he with another?."What the fuck is wrong with your voice?, Is she chocking you, or something?" I asked, mostly out of some kind of stupid jealousy that I didn't want to show."Really! Nuella.. are you seriously asking me that!" He let out a loud laugh.Ok now am safe."I thought you were with an
I slide down into the water, letting it block out the sounds around me.I wish the tub would expand so I could go swimming, like I used to on hot summer Sundays in the woods with my father. Those days were a special treat.Cold water seeps into my side and structured curves, stealing the heat from my soles just as fast as the wind steals from my face. My face is soaked, the drops coming together to run into my eyes and drip from my chin. My heat has run to my core to shelter and hoard the warmth that remains. For this long road, in this wintry storm, the frigid downpour and the icy puddles are my nemesis.I wanted the water pouring from the shower to wash away those thoughts, and clean my mind.My eyes shut and cleared up my head, almost falling asleep.I could feel a light trace on my skin,I knew that scent,I wanted to resist but my body knew what it wanted, my eyes slowly opened to behold his presence.
I wake the way Queens wake, just the same. We are all blessed with the same time, the same experience of consciousness. My eyes greet the dayshine, my heart and lungs expand. There are times that I feel that I must have been so blessed to live the same day over and over, even though I age, not like I was that old.For those first few moments are so identical. At first there are the dreams, then the sense of welcoming a new day, the anticipation of whatever comes.Slowly and reluctantly, I uncover my face. I blink, close my eyes, and blink again. Streaks of sunlight penetrate the window and blind me. I sat up, dragged my feet off the bed, I noticed the bed was lighter behind me.Where the hell did you go so early?.Rub my knuckles onto my eyes. I stretch my arms above my head and yawn. I watch my legs dangle above the off-white polyester carpet."Good morning, ma'am" Canada, the maid walking in
Agrrr..." The thunderstorm began to rain, I immediately felt a soft kiss on my temples."Good morning angel" the voice of Ethan waking me up, good gracious!, You had better get a good excuse for not coming back home to me and keeping me worried all through the night."Am sorry baby, I couldn't make it home yesterday.." he stopped."Uhmmmm? Go ahead and explain to me why your goddamn phone was off the whole damn time huh?" I stopped to catch my breath"And why the hack, Mark wasn't taking my calls and for once returning them back huh!, ohhh...! you better have a good one to say Ethan, you better do!" I stood up really furious this time, all my life, I have never been this mad at Ethan,like I felt right nowIt was more of a mixture of care and anger, my emotions were really ready to boil a water dry."Calm down Nuella, I told Mark not too cause we were in the middle of somet
Ethan A Rolland.The youngest drug Lord of all time,the fearless leader of the greatest Mafia Lords, the CEO of E_Rides, the owner of the biggest real estate and housing in Toronto, British Columbia and Montreal.Wherever you can think of in the world, Ethan had a business organization there, you can call him "Global".He was a man of few words,and trust me you do not want to hear him speak much, he was ruthless,well... So they said,I've never seen him, uhmmmm!.... Maybe I have, once or twice in a club...... Ok! Ok!.I've seen him in the stripper's lounge.Yes! Yes! I know, I wasn't much of a goody girl.You know the part I said let's skip the "how I met Sarah" part, that's because we were both strippers.We we
Life was more beautiful than ever.Ethan was making me live the best of my life,maybe for the maintime.Sarah already left to be with her parents, I miss her so much, Ethan has shown himself to be always gentle but I don't know why he's keeping me here, I didn't expect him to be a gentleman.Days went on, and I became more curious. What the fuck I was here for?.At first,I thought maybe he wanted a private dance and a good fuck, but it's been a month and for the sweet pussy of Maria, this motherfucker haven't touched me or said he wants anything to do with me.I guess i was here to eat large, and get fat. HahahahahaI was beginning to get bored from all the drama of the day that turns into weeks and steps into months.I confronted him but he wasn't always in the best of moods, he left the
My heart melted but yet I froze, I have Anyways, he seems different,he looked more handsome,did he shave?, "You look so attractive, I feel like falling on the ground but I want you to catch me before my weight hits the ground" my head practically saying those words to me, funny right?.I stood in front of him so speechless, my eyes refusing to blink, so i don't miss any moment."I hate to repeat myself" his voice brought me out of my shadows."Really" I pose into my super lady style."Move out of my garden" he said in a tone I couldn't really read, is he just saying it in a normal way or is he angry?.Does he mean those words?, Well he should as we tell me to fucking leave his mansion, am sick of here already, but I wouldn't let what he said get to me, I plan to get back to him, oh yes! I wanted him to get
