Looking at the table Kaylee looked for a suitable lie. She could not say she woke up late if he didn't want to fire her.
"You see, i-em-she-eh-my- daughter-is-sick" she blurted out.
"you should have told me, I didn't know you had a child and beside your marital status says single"
" Well,I'm not married"
"Don't worry I understand"
"I have pain killers right here, take it and here's a bottle of water.

"Are you old enough to be here?" The 18-year-old asked, and Hailey laughed. "Yeah. Of course, look can we just have two light beers?" Hailey asked looking at the desserts. "Well, I'm supposed to id, but I don't get paid enough for this." He rolls his eyes sliding the beers over. "Enjoy!" He groans cleaning off the counter and assisting the next customer. We walk over to a small booth and sit down. Hailey slides the beers over to me and I open one. I start to lift it and then set it back on the table. "Um...

'You don't even know me,' He shrugged. 'I feel like I do.' 'True, I feel the same way. I don't know, like a pull... What was your name in highschool?' I asked with widened eyes. 'What school did you attend?' 'My name was RW, why?' My head swelled as images flashed in my head, no wonder I felt it. 'You are the jerk who got my drink doctored and raped me! You took my virginity!' ~~~ Kristal, a beautiful lady in her late thirties, a feminist and sharp mouthed peacock. Money was the least of her problem, power, she had her brother, cousin and friend to get that for her if she wanted. She was a hardworking woman, a blogger and a good friend.

Destined To Be Yours
"I have never done this before." he whispered while cupping her face. "Me too" she said looking at his eyes. "What? You... You have... I thought..." he stammered.

Trials & Tribulations | 18+
Every young girl dreams of becoming a princess someday, right? Wrong! That wasn't my dream- far from it! I dreamt of a day where, upon reaching my eighteenth birthday, I could finally escape my neglectful "parents" who only acknowledged me when it suited them. But all that changed when I learned my 'parents' had been arrested on drug charges, and an unknown side of my 'family' had been looking for me since before I had even been born. Enter Mr. Castellucci and his seven sons, and I quickly understood why Maria had never mentioned a previous marriage or her other 'children.' These men were not the dashing princes riding white horses; they were dark, imposing, and intimidating figures. And Mr. Castellucci was determined to take me back with him to his lavish home somewhere in Italy -so far from my comparatively uncomplicated life in New Haven, Connecticut - and begin building my new life there with them. Although wary that these men had a more nefarious and sinister reason for taking a sudden interest in me than being a 'long-lost family member', they were doing an excellent job of easing me into a false sense of security by treating me like their long-awaited 'Principessa'. Desperate for their love and approval, while struggling with my inadequacies and haunted past, I was naïvely unaware of their ruthless nature and sheer power. I did not realise the scope of their 'charm' until it was too late. Far too late. Until I was precisely where they wanted me: under their thumb and control, with no prospects of ever escaping them as Maria had done before me, I was nothing more than a bird locked in a gilded cage, that they had deviously led me to believe was the price of love and safety. Let it be said once and for all: The Italian mafia did not ask; they took what they deemed as theirs to take. And I was THEIRS. _______________ This is my dark, twisted take on the popular Mafia, Older Brothers/Younger Sister, and Lost/Found Daughter/Sister tropes.
