new place,new friends

Always there love

Brytal was having a sweet dream. Jorgeen was holding her as he kissed her lips. He slowly touched her hair. He nuzzled his nose in her neck..
"Brytal sleepyhead. Wake up"
He kissed her eyelids.
She slowly opened her eyes and realized it was not a dream. Jorgeen was beside her with a day old beard.
"Where am I?"
She was not believing this was real.
"At Diam's. They already left. I have already had coffee. I didn't want to wake you."
She stretched and yawned.
"Your phone is ringing."
He picked it and talked for a while. His face turned ashen.
"What is wrong?"she asked him.
"A detective I hired has found Kelloma. She is at the county hospital."

Early March morning, Brytal stirred soup.
She covered it so that it would shimmer.
Jeremy (Mellon) moaned softly from his place at the sofa.
Kellon shifted the 'ugali' in the pot.
They waited as the food cooked and they packed it in dishes.
It was already 12pm. She prayed that Chrystal would have given Matterd the file. Chrystal was covering for her.
She was going to visit Kelloma.
On the Sunday they had found her she had confessed that she had been in an accident. She had planned to run away with Mannox (her current man) and leave Jeremy (her son ;she had also told them the name) behind.
Jorgeen had not forgiven her for leaving a six month baby with him.
Kelloma had dissolved in a torrent of tears and they were forced to end their visit.
It was only after a week that they had realized that Kelloma might not be able to care for her son due to her extensive injuries and messy finances.
Kelloma did not get well along at first. The visits ended in shouting.
They were forced to get along for the sake of Jeremy.
Today she got in her car and drove to the hospital.
Today Kelloma was teary. She had bitter regret for leaving her son behind.
"I have to tell you something. " Brytal hesitated."....Jorgeen and I are a couple now."
Kelloma sniffed.
"I already know. He told me. I am not planning to come between the two of you."
"I thought you being his baby mama...."
"He doesn't love me. Does he?"

At the ranch Karie was busy. She sighed and rubbed her aching back. The wedding had to be perfect.
She counted the last of the dishes and rested for a while.
In the afternoon her mother,who had first reconciled with family ,was taking her shopping for a wedding dress. The one she had chosen earlier did not fit now and her mother did not like it. Too much lace. As if lace was not the main attraction. She consoled herself with a bridal magazine.
Brent walked in.
"Hi darling. Lunch ready yet?"
"Wait here with me. I want to talk to you. Oh here comes lunch."
A servant girl walked in with a tray of dishes and started placing them on the dining table.
"Darling? I want to join college after the wedding. How do you feel about it?"
"Is your mother filling your head with ideas dear? What about the baby?"
"It's me dear. I want to take a certificate in secretarial course. I want to make something of myself. To be a wife you can be proud of. Just three months. Maybe add something later?"
"Karie? Sometimes you baffle me. Well I will not say no if it makes you happy but you have to promise to take care of yourself during this your adventure. Now give me a kiss."
He pulled her close and kissed her softly on the mouth.
Her also kissed her protruding belly.
"Daddy loves you son. Now let's go eat lunch."
The oven pinged.
"And dessert is just on time."
