eighteen.

The alarm clock buzzed as El shot up in his sleep. Looking around as it was almost daytime, he rubbed his eyes and look over at Margaret who was sleeping like an angel.

He would never get tired of looking at that beautiful face.

Today was a new day and that also mean him resuming his job finding. He threw the covers off of him as he got up, stretched, and thank God before entering his bathroom to get ready.

Jogging down the steps, El grabbed his jacket from the coat rack and put it on as he zipped half way up.

"You won't stop until you get it, huh?"
El swiftly turn around at the sound of his sister's voice.

She leaned against the wall, next to living room as she folded her arms across her chest and smiled.

"I'm proud of you."
She reminded him.

El smiled and blushed.
Those words made him feel special.
"Thanks sis, I pray that someone would accept me."

Bunny nodded.
"I will be in agreement with you."

El walked over to his sister as he gave her tight hug. She patted his back.

"I love you, Bunny."
El told his sister before letting go and exiting out of the house.

At the Marriott in downtown, James's eyes open to the sound of moaning. He looked over at Sylvia who was stirring in her sleep. She looked to be having a bad dream.

While they were out all night, having fun, James and Sylvia reclined at the hotel since the two weren't ready to go home. He got the money from saving up. He has been helping around the house and outside of the house.

He really want to show Sylvia that he appreciates her.

James sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him as she calmed down.

Whenever she has bad dreams, he would do this to her. It was the only way.

He kissed her forehead and sang a song as he continues to comfort her.

"It's ok, I got you."
He whispered.

It was going to be journey for her to recover but he promised that he will never leave her side.

"Thanks."
El left out of the burger joint as he sighed and walked to his car.

This has to be the fifth job that turned him down. He thought he was qualified but the boss thought otherwise.

He got in his car and sat there as he looked at the ceiling. Moments later, he started up his car and drove to the music store.

Pulling up, he parked his car and unbuckled his seatbelt as he open up his door then got out.

Entering, he stuffed his hands in his pocket as he made his way to the front desk. A Caucasian girl who looked to be around his age was sitting on the counter as she was flipping through a magazine.
