The Small Fish In A Big Pond

Chapter One

Without confidence you are twice defeated in the race of life - Marcus Mosiah Garvey.

I stood there looking at myself in the full length mirror for a couple of minutes,it felt like a couple of minutes at least,until the clock chimed.
" Oh my goodness,I'm going to be late!" I exclaimed. I gathered my items and began my regular checklist.
" Keys?" I questioned myself and for a brief moment I searched for my keys until A las it was in my reach. I went like this for the other few items on my imaginary list. Finally I rushed through the threshold of my glass door and hurried into my new 2015 Audii those four circles of pure happiness. As I sped down Highway fifteen my phone went off,I ignored it and dived into deep thoughts.
" What are these people gonna be like?" My inner goddess beamed at me and the questions kept popping up over and over until my mind was completely off the interview. Thirty minutes later I arrived at the Saint Marki hospital. I took a deep breath to calm my jittery nerves and attempted to straighten my res dress as I slipped on my matching red stilettos. I grabbed my handbag and exited the car,after which I tried restraining my loose tendrils of hair.
As I entered the lobby of hospital all eyes were on me and the people made slight whispers to the person near them. Enthusiastically I told them good morning." Bursting inside knowing I am the topic of hour I briskly walked up to the receptionist counter. Before I could open my mouth I was shot a hot blue gaze. " Doctor McIntire isn't in at the moment to perform your skin discolouration surgery." She said to me with scorn. " What," I spat at her needing to know what this woman meant. " I see you black people don't really read well,I said the doctor isn't here to make your skin light as mine." She mused to me slowly.
" I understood quite well the first time ma'am,I just needed to hear you repeat it,and for your information I'm not here to change my colour. I'm buying this hospital which means you'll be out of a job quite soon." I threw my words at her with so much disgust it was almost tangible. She gasped and her eyes almost popped out of her white little head. I laughed to myself. Filled with pride and joy I strutted through the lobby knowing all these white people are under my control. I'm the total opposite of these people,most of them had a set future but I had to make mine,and work for everything. So these whites don't intimidate me because I'm outnumbered by them,after all I'm used to being different. I am the small fish in the big pond. I then gracefully made my way to a chair anxiously waiting on Mr.Hills.
" I might need to replace these with some cushiony ones,after all this is a hospital not a prison." My inner voice spoke. A minute later I was approached by a fairly tall light skinned man dressed in a full black suit with a sky blue polka dotted tie that highlighted his glistening sapphire eyes. His lips looked like deep pink roses moistened from the morning dew. He had dark black shiny hair that was cut short and a was laid smoothly hiding a bit of his forehead. " Good Morning. You must be Miss.Smith." He said with a pleasant smile.
" Good Morning. Yes I am Mr.Hills." I replied returning a pleasant smile.
" This way Ms.Smith," he said gesturing to the direction which he came from a few seconds ago.

Here's a bit of it:

He placed his hands around my waist and drew me to him. I gasped at his action and looked deep into his sea blue eyes. "Say You Love Me" he said softly looking back into my eyes. " I'm sorry I just can't ! " she exclaimed trying to release herself from his firm grip. "Why I won't do what he did I Love You Jordanni" he whispered seductively behind the back of her neck. Her body shivered with excitement. " How do I know you won't,he said the same thing" her voice trembled as a single tear drop fell down her plumpy cheek. " Don't cry babe,I'd NEVER do that to you,I Love You With All My Heart Babe. I cannot go one day without thinking of you,every second of the day. If anyone hurt you I'd go to prison for you because I know you will be here still waiting for you me" he said with much conviction. "Really ?" She inquired with her eyes full of tear. "Yes baby," he said planting a kiss on her lips. He then gently shoved her on the bed and used his cherry lips to explore her...
