Something here wasn’t right. Who was this man standing with the love of his life? Don could feel a murderous evil breeding inside of him towards this unknown person, standing, gazing fixedly, at his Selena. Did he just witness this stranger kiss her? Did he also just see her kiss him back with unmistakable clarity? Something here was all wrong. It was dark and cold with the moonlight illuminating the tableau.Selena was kissing him barely five minutes ago. Kissing him as if forgetful of her former self. She had passionately allowed herself to be possessed by this stranger’s arms, her lips to be invaded by his with ease, her breasts to be molested and her....... derrieres to be caressed in so many intense ways. Maybe this was no mere stranger but a secret lover to her. Her intimate moaning could be heard in the dark even from where Don had stood. He could hear the sound of their lips unsticking for quick rests and again continuing to reconnect into oneness. And all the while Don watche

“What do you want me to do?”“I want you to come with me. I want you to go away with me for a few days”“Okay, I’ll go anywhere with you.”She looked up into his eyes, studying him. He only told her to get into the car, telling her that he was going to drive this time.“Where are we going?”“Some place that is going to make me forget,” he said. He put his hand gently over hers, forcing a smile. She had no idea what extent he was willing to reach to make herself feel better.As they settled in the car, the sun came up, its luminous outline like burning embers. Its light scattered across the plain, shedding color over every shadow.When they began driving, she did nothing but condemn herself in her seat in that untimely stolen moment. She would say no word to him until he was ready to even look at her. Quietly she rested in her seat and closed her eyes momentarily. He turned to her briefly, watching as she embraced herself when the air around them got cold. At length she opened her eyes

It was still raining outside when Isabella opened her eyes. She was still alone in bed, aching. As she sat up, shivering from the cold, there was the thought of him. He needed her and she needed to lay aside her feelings as a nurse for him.She managed to pull herself from bed and walked to his room. He wasn’t there. He was gone, just like a few nights before. Panicking, she ran up and down the stairs looking for him. He was gone, perhaps to look for his brother or maybe he had come back to normal and searched for Selena.Panicking a little more with each passing minute, she decided to explore his room one final time, this time she was tempted to take a peak through the window.There he was. Standing in the rain with his arms spread like it was a beautiful sunny day. Her heart shot out immediately. He still wasn’t in his right state of mind.She stormed out of the room, down the stairs, through the front door, and took no time to jump into the rain. He was still just standing there.“

Isabella ripped that one page from her diary. This was her only moment. She was finally going to confess. She willed herself out of the room. There was no time like the present.If she was going to fail to tell him her heart’s desire, then she was simply going to hand him that piece of paper. In her paper she said,‘I have never known happiness. I have never seen the sun’s bright rays of light. Even at the night, my heart has never been moved by the moonlight and the stars. To me they were nothing but rocks, burning millions of miles away. But then in my deepest darkest moment, I met you.In my lonely moments, I saw you. You have filled my heart with love, like a thief you have stolen my heart and hid it in a place only you can find.Don’t you now consider yourself to be selfish? How can you understand this feeling if I do not yet exist in your lonely world?But now, because you are the reason, I can watch the sun as it rises from its sleep, I stay up late at night some days and make

DANDELIONS*. *. *. *. *“Hi Laura, it’s me, Selena.” She could hear her voice bouncing back from the walls on the other end of the line. There was heavy breathing on the phone.“Selena?” the wavering voice broke through. “Is that you ?” “Yes Lu, it’s me” she answered, holding back the tears.“But...........how.........I thought you were......dead” She breathed, now crying. “Let’s not do this over the phone. Meet me at the play Park in one hour. Bring Erick with you.”“Uuuum, okay.........we will be there” she promised, still in shock.The Play Park was a large green field of irregular plains. A dozen deliberate trees held a few spots to offer to relieve shelter to the couples that flocked here from the library across the street. The state museum stood eastward, overlooking the lucent lawn and satiating atmosphere.Selena came here as quickly as she could, and stood anxiously for a moment in the open as she searched for them.It had been so long since she saw Erick and Laura, her fami
