“So you’re saying this is all a con, Remy,” Jerry said, shaking the sleep from his head. “You bought me in as your CFO said you needed a trusted man in your corner. I’ve been in the dark ever since. What’s going on?”


“Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Waterman Sterling Investments is financially sound or my name isn’t Regis Sterling. I just need you to do one perfectly normal favor. These things...

You Broke Me First

I watched you fall for another girl,

The girl you said “Was just a friend,”

And I can sit here and say “You’re stupid,”

But that wouldn’t entirely be true.


You knew better but yet, she was all you wanted, you didn’t want the one who cares, who loves, you wanted the one that’d just disappear within time.


I was supposed to be your forever, the one you’d call at any point of time, the one you’...

Is What My Mother Said To My Father

For his memory was never that stellar

Remembering little things from a decade ago

But not a minute ago

He’s the smartest dumb person I know

She’d say

Or the dumbest smart person I know

She could never decide

For he was not unintelligent

Far from it

But she’d always say it

Albeit as a joke

Laced with a hint of worry

For he was a bit young to have his memory going

But we’d all laugh

For what else?...

Botched Job

“I can’t believe that fucking worked!”


They gasped for air, adrenaline pulsing through their veins.


“You are the smartest kind of stupid, Lay.”


“Thanks!” She replied beaming.


“But NEVER — again.”


“Why,” Lay complained. “I liked it!”


“Of course you did. But I am not going to hide in a garbage bin, EVER, again.”


Lay snickered at them.


“I have banana peel in my hair! How the hell are you not...

Truce

What I want in love

Is a mind of growth

Honed to the click and clacks

Of misunderstandings groan


What I need in love

Is a heart so bright

That shines and laughs

And awakens the dullest dye


What I hope for love

Is a peace of mind

The days serene

and nights gettin in


What it is in love

Is a fight for truce

Creation from rapport...

The kind of woman a man loved

As a woman I was always faced with the burden of a million things; often contradictions of each other


I was told to be confident, because that was what men found attractive but humble as not to bruise a man’s ego.


I was told to be pretty, because that’s where my worth lied, but not to care too much about my appearance as that made me self absorbed, and men did not like women who weren’t giving...

Knowledge

In an embarrassing recollection of a very trying time in my life I think back to the moment in my apartment and the moment when I was so upset and angry with myself that I had walked down the hallway and hit myself on the head seven time and called myself stupid while I did it, no one else needed to call me stupid or dense though I had heard from the world plenty of times that very sentiment, I ha...

Runaways

My twin and I are nothing alike. And yet when he purposed the idea of running away, I instantly agreed. Aunt Jenna is only ever nice when her boyfriend comes over, and it’s a different dude each time. I guess we’re both fed up with her pretending like she’s our real aunt, or like she’s not getting paid for taking care of us, or that she doesn’t use the money for her own good. Tonight’s the night w...

Escape Room

“This isn’t going to get us anywhere,” Talia says, looking at the map in her hands.

Tavin smiles at her from his lounging position on the couch.

“Your doing great, Tal,” he says, scrolling on his phone. Talia rolls her eyes. She just keeps thinking to her self that he’s just not participating because he could never figure out an escape room like this.

“Aren’t you even going to help?” She compla...

Scenes From An Italian Restaurant

She was head to toe gorgeous. Her skin golden and her teeth glowing. How the hell am I on a date with someone like this?


“So what will you be ordering?” the waiter says as he looks to my date. “I’ll have the tortellini.” she says at the dimly lit Italian restaurant. We’re separated by a circular table with a white cloth, but somehow I just feel so close. I scamper to look at the menu. Spaghetti? ...
