BRYANI pull myself gently into Diana for a kiss, gentle not to take in the whole of her while we're directly outside her workplace. “Let's take this to mine.” I whisper in her ears as I nibble on them.“I concur.” She replies in a chuckle.The drive on the way to my house is unarguably the best ride I've had in my whole life. The car was almost never silent, it was filled with our laughter, or Diana's beautiful voice, or mine. And when the car was silent, it was filled with stolen gazes from both of us. When we finally get to my place, I turn off the car engine and drop my head back, tired. “Let's go.” I say as I turn to face Diana, who is looking at me adamantly. “Don't you want to get out?” I ask in a chuckle.“We're at your place.” She says, stating the obvious.“Yes Diana, we are.” I laugh and try to exit the car, but she pulls my arms back.“Diana, what the hell.” I'm really laughing now, but without clue of why I am. “You said: ‘Let's take this to mine.’ We're are your plac
DIANARemember how I said my life wasn't a bed of roses or lilies but after Bryan they started to line up? Yh, he probably just lined two or three up the past few hours.He not only said that he loves me, he helped me get over my past trauma, and he gave me the best sex I've ever had in my life. Who knew car sex could be that fun? After everything, we go inside for proper rest. I stare at the beauty of the house once again and become curious about the pictures on the wall.“Who are the children in the pictures on the wall?” I ask as I touch one of them. “This one looks like me, I like her. Who are they?”Bryan chuckles.“They are the children from the orphanage, funny you should point out that young girl you know, she has hair like yours and has a shockingly similar name to yours. Dane.”“Dane and Diana aren't alike, they just have the same first letters.” I say in a chuckle.Bryan smile at me as I move around, admiring every picture, each not even as beautiful as his smile to me. “
BRYAN“Take a test D. This could be anything, let's not jump into conclusions. I'm very certain you are not pregnant, I played safe Diana.”These are the words that find way out of my mouth in the very state I found myself in. Standing there, and not a single clue of what I would do, thoughts flying into my mind, and a single sentence bringing back tough memories I've tried hard to forget over a long period of time.I hate feeling this way, but I'm sure, there's no reason, she just can't be pregnant.Fuck me!“How are you just so sure that I'm not pregnant Bryan? I want to know. Because we had unprotected sex a number of times, I'm don't know how you're so sure.” Diana asks in a brittle voice.“I know what I'm capable of Diana, I_ I just_ Look, I took my precautionary measures. I'm sure you aren't.” I take in a deep breath, moving closer towards her and taking her hands into mine. “I don't want us to let this escalate Diana, it's as simple as taking a test and confirming before jumpin
DIANAMy eyes widen to the ray of sun piercing through my blinds.It's 8:06 in the morning, I'm supposed to be at work by 7am. I'm late, again. Shawn is going to kill me. I make my way for the bathroom as fast as I can and I go face first into the shelf in my working corner. This definitely is not the behavior of someone trying to get a promotion. I heave a sigh of frustration.Thankfully I only sustain a small bump on the side of my forehead. I must have metal for a skull.I make a mental note in my head to text my brother and inform him I'd be dropping by after work.I rinse my face and proceed to have my bath and board a cab to work.Shawn spots me.“Ah, Diana. Stuck in traffic again?”He asks, making his way towards me.That's a usual excuse for me to be fair, but the traffic in LA is not even child's play.“I'm sorry Shawn, I know you wouldn't believe me, but there were minor inconveniences.”“You're damn right I wouldn't, see me in my office by the close of work” I groan while m
BRYAN“Thank you Mr Fox, I appreciate it, even more so, the children appreciate it all, your efforts, love, time and the money.”I look up at Miss Kharity, smiling, as she expresses her gratitude for the gifts I just dropped off for the children at the orphanage.It isn't even part of my monthly donations, but I sure love to see the smiles on the faces of these children. The joy is inexplicably real. It's not that kind of joy you get from Cats, or Chicken and chips, or Thai noodles, or even Basmati rice. No doubt these are good but the feeling of joy only come when you're with them. The feeling of joy that comes when I'm with these children remain with me, that keeps me going.“You have to understand it's really no problem Miss K, I enjoy doing this. I'll be on my way now, I'm quite late” I say cheerfully.“Thank you so much, say thank you kids”.“Thank you Mr Bryaaan!” The children shout in unison and in joy.It makes me happy, and I laugh.“It's okay, Thanks everyone. Bye”.I make
DIANAI'm outside my work place when I realize I didn't leave my brother a text to let him know I'd be dropping by today. So I call him._“Hey Daniel”__“Hi, Diana?”_He always does that, call my name in question to confirm if it's really me on the phone, I don't know what for or why, but sometimes it just gets frustrating._“Expecting someone else?”__“Sorry, been long”__“It's been 3 days Daniel, I called you on Sunday”__“Rightttt, my bad. So what's up?”__“Making my way to your apartment. Except I don't know the way to your apartment, so I need directions”__“I thought you said Wednesday?”__“Well I'm a day early, are you going to give me directions or not Daniel?”__“Ugh yh, sorry, Admiralty high way, let the cab drop you at the LA Kindread Hospital. My apartment is just around the curb by the side of the hospital. Ask for Royalty Complex. I'm on the last floor, 12b. See ya”__“Thanks big bro”_I take his directions as specifically as I can and I finally make it to the elevator.
BRYANI wake up by a kick to my ankle. It's very bright, it's morning. “Dude wake up, can't believe you slept on the roof top” He says, laughing at my weird predicament.Tired and unable to think I ask, “What's the time?”“It's about 8am, there's no work today though, you can rest all you want man”“Ugh, I have to get back to my place” I say, very tired.I make it back into Mike's apartment and get my things, I don't even take a shower. The elevator ride down feels like forever, but I finally make it down. I walk back to the hospital and over to the parking lot where my car is parked, and I head home.On the way home I can't help but think of everything Mike said. And my thoughts lingers back to my mum.She was only 18 when she was married to my dad, and it was for his money, neither of them cared about building a strong foundation for their marriage. Dad wanted a woman to have sex with and bear him children, and Mum wanted a rich man to have children with. It worked out well for bo
DIANASnapping out of my thoughts, I pick up my bag and leave Daniel's house. I put the key under his mat, just as he instructed and I head for Lynn's house.Lynn is my best friend. The absolute best. We've known each other for what feels like an eternity but is actually just 3 years, she works at the coffee shop just next to the Media company, not that she needs it. Her family is wealthy, so she doesn't lack. She just wants to feel like she has her hands on something, according to her. I grabbed her attention when I kept getting coffee consistently for 2 weeks due to some issues with my parents at home.She was there to comfort me, and she's always been there since, so I find my way to the Hospital and take a cab to Lynn's from there. I punch in the code and walk into her apartment when I get there, something smells fire, not literally though.Lynn is cooking. She squeals in excitement on seeing me.“Hey D!”“Hey L!”We both let out a vivacious laughter.“I wasn't expecting you”. Sh
