Carla Rodriguez Hall.Location: New York Presbyterian Hospital.Seated in the doctor's office, for the hundredth time in one month, Richard held on to my hand in anticipation of the doctor's results.It had been over two minutes of waiting, but it felt like an eternity."Babe, why is she taking so long?" I tapped the heel of my velvet brown boyfriend shoe while I looked up at the modern classical wall clock."Patience honey, I have a good feeling about today. Today is our lucky day." He answered back in a high-pitched cocky voice."I pray so." I bit my bottom lip while my eyes wandered around the room.Suddenly the door creaked on the hinges as it opened then Doctor Sue confidently strolled in with a warm smile. She walked around her office desk with her stethoscope clasped in her hands."Good afternoon Mr and Mrs Hall, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, but you know these things take time." She comfortably sat down in her chair and then placed the stethoscope on her neatly arranged de
Carla Rodriguez Hall.Our drive home was longer than usual as I and Richard kept to ourselves in thought.The doctor's ugly words lingered in my mind as the cold autumn wind scratched my skin.Whom did I offend to receive such hush punishment from God? I heaved a long sigh while looking at the busy streets of New York."That doctor is just stupid and doesn't know what she is talking about." Richard finally dragged his hand on my thigh and squeezed gently as though his words would make me feel better… I glanced at his hand and did not realize that I was crying until a tear splashed on his arm."Oh honey, don't cry." He slowed down the speeding car and rubbed off the tears on my cheek without stopping the car. "God will bless us with a bundle of joy sooner than you know it." He smiled."But when?" More warm tears silently trickled down my cheeks as I sniffed up the little buggers trying to escape my nostrils."Soon honey." He said with a reassuring gaze." Don't worry, I will put a baby
Carla Rodriguez Hall.Location: Hudson Beach mini-mart.The next day was Saturday and that was our stock-up day. For both home and the clinic, we had to make sure we bought all that was needed for the coming week. Be it food, groceries, medicines, and any other medical equipment the vet needed, we had to do it all on that one day, because Saturday was considered to be a less busy day at the vet."Honey, did you see sister Margaret's new creasted gecko?" Richard chortled while picking up a huge sack of dog food and placing it in our trolley."No babe, I only saw her walking out of the clinic." I stared at him with an inquisitive stare. I worked as a secretary part-time at the clinic when it was overwhelmed by a shortage of staff."You should have seen it, honey." He pushed back his glasses on the top of his nose and took control of the trolley. "That pale-looking critter was begging for some sun rays to tan its body." His joke then made me laugh so hard I felt like I peed my pants a l
Carla Rodriguez Hall.With hesitant steps, I dragged myself into my beautifully decorated living room where my cruel mother inlaw stood in one of her many brightly colored mini pencil dresses which she thought really accented a figure she did not have…"Babe, what is going on here and who is she?" I raise a question in a shaky voice because my mother inlaw's presence intimidated me.The other younger woman who spoke ill of me wore leopard-printed leggings with one of those cheap white crop tops you find in second-hand clothing stores which showed her pierced belly button. On her white top, 'I FUCKED YOUR MAN, OOPS.' was written on it... How nasty and cheap of her to pick such an awful outfit, but that was non of my business to worry about.Her bright pink dyed greasy hair looked like she worked in the petroleum jelly industry."Richard, tell your wife to put some respect when she is referring to me." She said while chewing gum with her mouth wide open. The sound it made was very annoy
Ethan Black.Location: Black Eiffel Tower.I sat at the head of the boardroom, my fingers tapping with anticipation on the polished wooden table. It was a meeting I had been evading for weeks, ever since I had received the letter from the two company's top shareholders requesting my presence. Now, as I looked around the room, I could feel their eyes on me, watching and waiting for my response.It was a cold Saturday morning and much to my displeasure, I gave them an audience even though my head was pounding hard due to the partying I did last night with my fiance, Crystal Williams. I looked at my iPhone's screensaver to check the time, and my beautiful bride-to-be looked ravishing in her two-piece see-through bikini suit, which left nothing out of the imagination. I smirked triumphantly while I leaned into the brown leathered chair."Mr. Black, thank you for granting us your time this morning." Mr. Miller, one of the shareholders, said, "We've called this meeting today to discuss the
Ethan Black.Forty-five minutes later,Location; penthouse nestled atop central park Tower."Hey babe," Crystal said while giving me a once-over.My heart was pounding while I stood in front of my fiancé of three years, who was out here acting like everything was okay... when I had just read the tabloid article that accused her of cheating, and I couldn't believe the evidence they presented. Suddenly, my new puppy, Jungle, an English bulldog stormed into the living room and started chewing on my shoe."Jungle, heel." I snapped my fingers at him and he sat attentively looking adorable as usual. I smiled slightly before narrowing my eyes while I studied Crystal's body language and she appeared not to care about my arrival.She wore a pair of dark grey leggings, paired with a loose-fitting sweater and fuzzy white socks I got her for Christmas. She was lounging on the white sofa while watching a movie on my 75' screen TV.Crystal was a slender woman, with blonde hair, medium height, gree
Carla Rodriguez Hall.Location: Hudson Square,I walked up the five stairs, my body feeling numb even after being hit by a car a few minutes ago, but that was the least of my problems.My husband of five years got another woman pregnant!!! My mind could not move past that. I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience, and someone would wake me up and then say it was all an afternoon nightmare."Carla, who was that man?" Richard snapped while snatching my hand and squeezing me from behind."Awe Richard, you are hurting me," I said and yanked my hand off his grip. "That was Ethan Black, the richest man in New York." I sneered silently while rolling my eyes and continued to walk back into the house, much to my displeasure… Why did he pretend not to recognize the most featured sexy billionaire face in the state? I exhaled slowly with puffed-up cheeks."Ethan Black." He murmured viciously as though I was the one who cheated on him with Mr billionaire, who I was very much aware of hav
Richard Hall.Time: 09:34 AM. Saturday morning.Location: Mini Mart, buying some groceries for home and the vet clinic.After having not such a great day yesterday afternoon at the doctor's office, my selfish wife decided to tell her body to reject my sperm once again. I'm mortified to say the least, that she had started her period in a public restroom, much to my dismay, I helped clean her up and took her out of that place…If I were to be honest with you, I would say I'm not a fan of having kids but my mother says it's my duty as the only male child she bore to give her a grandson, so that my lineage may not die with me… hence I put up with my wife and my mother's shenanigans to keep everyone happy. But it was not until I got Carla back home did I receive a text from Karen, my side chick. But let's not call her that, let's simply call her the happy juice to my loins.Don't get me wrong, I loved Carla but she was just not the one for me anymore. She had become like an old car that n
