I had woken up to a strange yet familiar bedroom, I was still in a sleep haze but I grudgingly stood up from the bed, my head was banging as I struggled to make my way out of the room. I could hear noises coming from somewhere so I quietly followed the sound. I was eventually led to the kitchen by the noise and to my surprise there was a man standing there with his back to me, my head was so heavy and I couldn't see clearly which made telling who the man was hard, but instead of feeling any bit of fear I didn't.The man eventually turned, he must have felt my presence, I was shocked to see who it was."What am I doing here?" I asked, I don't remember anything that might have led me to sleep over his place, there was a gap missing from my memory."You don't remember last night?" he asked me and I could see the surprise in his eyes, and there was also something else I couldn't point to."What happened last night?" I asked him trying to remember what must have happened, seeing my confus
I've always felt like there was something missing in my life, I was alive but barely living. That ishow my life has always been and I couldn't do a single thing about it. Anyone would wonder whya young successful woman like myself would be facing such a circumstance, the only thingpeople see is the luxurious lifestyle, the expensive cars and special invitation to first classgatherings. They never see beyond that,they never see the girl who looks like she fits in but would rather beanywhere else, not caring about their mindless Conversations Such life style was never mything, but i didn't have a say in the matter not when you have someone like my Mother Shebrought me up to be the perfect girl for her standard, she practically choose all the schools iattended right from my pre-school till the university i graduated from. I was like a character inher book and she the author I just had to be that perfect daughter, even though sometimes itgets overwhelming, I had to stay strong.
As I drove by a particular place, the beauty of the place caught my eyes and before I knew it, Istopped driving, stopping the engine of the car, I got out of my car enjoying the beauty of theplace....as I leaned against the car closing my eyes and taking a deep breath of fresh air. Isuddenly wanted to explore more, just standing here and looking wasn't enough for me anymore, it was like a force was beckoning me into the woods, so with my car locked I made myway into the woods ready to explore what beauty lies deep in there. I just kept walking, when I heard a sound that gave me the fright of my life, only for me to turnseeing it was just a small squirrel looking at me up from the tree, "little squirrel you scared me," Isaid to the squirrel, not like it cared what I was saying. Laughing a little to myself I continue onmy way. Suddenly I realized that I was walking in the woods, it could have been a snake or spider, orworst a scorpion I would have encountered when that squirr
Jason Family is very important to me, I don't joke with them, so that's why I didn't make a singlecomplain or argue when my mom told me to take a few days off from work so we could havefamily bonding time. Not like she would even take no for an answer. I took four days off from work as I drove my family to our cabin in the woods, we quickly set upeverything we would be needing, my mom strictly warned us about taking any work related callsbecause we would be in deep shit, and we know better than to disobey her, that woman canbecome an erupting volcano when she is angry, I wouldn't want that on my head. I don't know where it came from but my little sister decided that we prepare a trap, because shebelieved that in this woods, we could find unicorns. I told her that she had been reading toomany fantasy novels, but she wouldn't let me be, so I had to do what she wanted for my ownpeace of mind. The first day we set the trap, early next morning we went to check for any sign ofa
I woke up to find myself in a strange room, i was wearing a blue shirt and not the clothes I waswearing yesterday, I don't even know where I was, I stood up from the bed but I felt discomfort,so I sat back down to compose myself before I finally got up feeling a little better. I think whatactually woke me up was the smell of food, the growling of my stomach agreed to that fact, so Imade my way out of the room. As I got out, I saw a small family gathered around a table having breakfast, I felt a little jealousybut I pushed it down rather quickly, it not like it their fault I had never had breakfast like this,such peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by people who loved and respected me. I had to announce my presence, so clearing my throat, I spoke " I don't mean to intrude, butplease where am I?" all eyes seemed to turn to me at the sound of my voice, I had been on thespot light many times, but this felt different, It was like this time there was no escape for me. A young girl sp
It's been days I heard from my mother, not like I actually wanted to hear from her, she might be crazy but she is still my mother, at one point my obedient side that always wants to listen to whatever mother say wanted to wake up, but I quickly pushed it down, I would not allow myself to be unhappy for the rest of my life just because I wanted my mom to happy by marrying the man she wants. No I won't do that.Another thing that had been a tenant in my head is one certain handsome man, everytime I close my eyes, it was his face that appeared, there wasn't a time he wasn't in my mind, I just met this guy, but my mind and body feels like I've known him for ages, I must be sick. Speaking of being sick, I think I need to visit the doctor, ever since I had the trap accident, I've been having frequent pains on my legs, sometimes I have to sit to stop the pain, I don't know why I've been so reluctant to go to the hospital, maybe I was waiting to get cripple first.I quickly made an appointme
Call her, don't call her, call her, don't call her, I have been repeating this for the past ten minutes. My relationship with my mother wasn't all that good, but that didn't mean I didn't care for her, I didn't want to visit her, it was just going to lead to another confrontation, one I wasn't ready for, another reason I was hesitating is because of my pride, I know the moment she sees my call she'll think her sweet little girl wants to make amends, she'll think I've come to my senses and want to do as she have commanded, which is never going to happen.Finally making up my mind, I decided to call her. She picked up on the third ring. I could tell she was also deciding whether to pick my call or not."I see you've come to your senses, meet me at home," just as I thought, she clearly thinks I called because I've decided to do what she wants,...."mom, I didn't call you because of what we discussed the other day, I am calling you as a daughter checking on her mother," I said to her and t
The man standing in front of me didn't look like someone I've met before, from his outfit you could tell he was wealthy, nice watch, nice shoes, clean shaven. I repeated my question again..."who are you?" "Excuse my manners, my name is Coal," he brought his hand towards me for a hand shake, Coal? I go through my brain to think of anywhere I've heard that name before, he still had his hand stretch before me, I come out of my thought taking his hand as I introduced myself..."Odessa," I said as I gave him a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes, he was a stranger standing in front of my door, or rather someone standing in front of my door who I didn't want to accept I was seeing. Am sure he knew I already figured out who he was, because the look in his eyes was proof enough. "We need to talk Odessa," he said indicating that I let him in because I still left him standing outside, I already knew what my answer would be to whatever he says, I won't marry him and that was final, I opened
