The Last Room
The Last Room It is a sunny spring Friday morning when Nancy, a young woman in her 20’s decided to leave the big city and move back to her hometown, Kingstown. Nancy has history in Kingstown and wanted to reconnect with her friends and family. As Nancy thought about the return to Kingstown, she considered an older house at the corner of Wesley Ave. A one-story home with a charming front porch. Knowing that it would be a lot of work to make it home, Nancy decided to buy it and fix it up herself.

My Albatross
I “So, are you a foodie?” He asked, smirking as he took a sip of his whiskey. His appearance is quaint. He’s dressed up for today, wearing a red button down and dress pants. I’ve been on a date almost every day this week, and most guys have dressed pretty casually. He’s uptight; I can tell. I feel bad almost; my outfit is shit really. I should have worn a dress, but you know, hindsight is 20-20. I’m not sure what he meant by that. Am I a foodie? Does he mean do I like cooking, or does it mean if I like food? Who doesn’t like food? Someone who doesn’t like food might as well not like air. It’s just plain weird. His condescending smirk suggests that the question had a double meaning. I think he knows that it is a common question, but he’s probably said it to suggest I might not look how he thought I would. I replied, “Well, kind of… but not really. I’m good at cooking so I guess…it’s hard to dislike food if it tastes really good.” I gave an inviting smile, hiding that I found that question insulting. Why would he ask that... do I seem fat to you? I know we met on the internet but come on! Have some decency. You’re not so great yourself! At least please try to hide your inner thoughts for goodness sake.

A Late Bloomer Part 3
I was in transitional housing waiting on my apartment to be finished. Before that, I was sleeping in my car after losing my job. All this was after Tara. I had moved so many times before so I was ready to call somewhere home finally. I had a cousin nearby and all because of him, I met her. I met Chelle at the end of what was the most difficult and confusing time in my life. She was on time but at the same time, she wasn't. I wasn't ready for anyone else to fall in love with me or vice versa. I had just really let the shit go with Tara. I still do not regret meeting Chelle tho til this day. Let's find out why shall we?

our own weird
My dates don’t go as planned. I am an older man in the dating scene so I tend to get dates that are well interesting. One such date I am glad to reflect was very interesting. She wanted to drive herself to the restaurant so I thought "ok" she is independent so I also drove to the restaurant. I go in and find she had picked a table. I went over to see a woman that I did not recognize. She was still nice looking and sweet but heavy just to be nice. All the pictures I had seen where from 10 years ago. But I was a heavy dude myself I was not going to complain about something I have problems with myself. I give the waitress an order for 2 glasses of Merlot.

Cursed!
Looking back, i started dating earlier than i should have, earlier than i wanted to and it got in the way of things that used to be important to me. I lost my virginity when i was 15 yrs young (thought i was so mature and grown up) and it was honestly one of the most horrible memories i have. It was with a skinny, tanned guy that i had chased for weeks and thought he was gorgeous. I remember thinking that if that’s what sex is, i never want to have sex again. HAHA ohhh the wisdom of a 15 yr old.

An Embarrassing Moment Turned Out Okay
As women we are taught that we can not fart in front of our loved ones. That we are not allowed to pass gas even though it is a very natural and healthy thing to do . It is something that every single person on this planet does. There is not one person that can say that they do not fart, not one person can say ,"oh I have never let out gas before. " That is a lie because if you are alive you have passed gas.

Love Me Like This
He’s sat across from me. Of course this is the expected thing to do. In times like these. Proper I think it’s called. Proper, or pleasant, and not overly forward, sure. But, how can it be? Now there’s only one thing to save me from undisturbed eye contact with this new and uncertain human: refuge in the glass of wine I will order to set between us.

Check Please!
Emily wasn’t the seductive beauty that she always saw in her sisters and often comparted herself too. She had more natural beauty, at least that’s how her mom described it. Emily was tall but not too tall, she was thin but not too thin, she was outgoing but not obnoxious. She was pretty but not beautiful… at least that’s how she would describe it. She had brown hair, but she always wanted blonde hair. She bought sexy business clothes but never wore them. She owned and collected a few dozen pair of Prada and Monolo Blahnik heels. Sadly, the only time they touched her feet was right before she set them on a shelf, for a life of forever loneliness of shoes perched in her closet from that point on.

Family
I was driving as a job, actually loved this experience because I met so many different variations of people. One night I picked up this man, as I was picking him up I said to him, "You can ride up in the front if you would like. He replied, "Yes I would like that." I had picked up so many men, not a thought crossed my mind about it. As we were chatting on this 15-minute drive to his destination, I was amazed at how much chemistry we had. He had such a great sense of humor, I had not laughed with happiness in so long. It felt great. As I looked at the GPS the ride was coming to an end, I didn't want it to end but I was not brave enough to say anything either. We continued laughing as I was pulling up to his house my mind was racing through ideas to see him again. I had it, once we said our goodbyes before I ended the Uber. I sent a message saying "Phone number"?Hoping he got it. I went home and told my children that I had met an amazing man tonight that caught my attention. I told them "This is my guy". He is who I want. I had an incredible feeling about this. I wait for hours for a phone call. But received nothing that night. The next morning I will never forget 8 a.m. The phone was ringing, I never answered my phone in the morning or when I was half asleep. I answered It was him I was so excited. I woke my children up to tell them he called. I had a date and this felt so incredible, this was my guy, I never have felt this way. They say when you know; you just know. Two months into this relationship we were sitting outside on the front porch. He told me many of the obstacles that were in front of him. I took a deep breath wondering if I was strong enough for those obstacles. We went to bed that night and that was all I could think about. Can I handle this? I decided yes, I cared for him as I have never cared for anyone before. We had challenges for the next year, but I always said "We get the bad out of the way and the rest would be a breeze" Little did I know the following year was going to be my hardest, As I felt everything was finally coming together when we were sitting in the bedroom one night after all the obstacles we made it through, he was my best friend, love, my hope, and my happiness. He said to me "I need to go and I need to be by myself for a while, My own place". accepted all of these challenges, and I still stand beside him and respect his choice. I have no regrets. I hope he sees all of the things I have accepted and how much I love him. He gave not only me but my children the best two years we could ask for, I wait for this to be another obstacle to overcome. As we all sit here patiently and wait for him to come back home. Through all of these drawbacks and problems, I still see how much he has helped me and my family progress and we see how important he is and how he has helped us all become better people. We want him to overcome this obstacle and so we can be a family and finally see how much we have impacted each other's lives and how important one another is to each other. Throughout all of these drawbacks, I see how important he is to us and how he has shaped our family into the people we are today. How that has made us better people and in the end, I have no regrets. We want him to come back after this and finish what we started together.
