CHAPTER XVIII
SCENE I
“Model for me, you wake up with an astonishing black male over your bed and all you can say Maaseiah is model for you. Come on Derry, I have a new Cologne coming out and you would be perfect,” making herself ready for breakfast in bed, the full tray, the hand and face wipes, this astonishing male waiter sitting on the edge of the bed. “Desrek,, a week, two at the most, two weeks, ah, nall I, ...four days of shooting top, at five hundred a day, five hundred a day? I could even name it after you, Desrek Chocolate. You’re serious, four days of shooting, five hundred a day, and my own cologne line? Well it’s my project, I can do with it what I want, so what say you? Desrek Chocolate," seeing how that sound rolling off of his amazing tongue, into a stand to his reflection in the mirror, right there stirring Tiffany's creative juices. “I would need you there no later than today by five, if not I’m to find someone else, of course, sure, how can I say no? By the way an Erica called, said it’s urgent, what you mean an Erica called? How did she even, I kinda called last night, left word you were here, left a contact. You what! Desrek! You know that they wouldn’t worry, telling Erica, damn it Derry you may as well called the New York Post.” {{{“Erica, Desrek said you called “Christian, is here. What you mean Christian is there? Your Christian, tall, dark, and devilishly mysterious and I'm in love, Erica, it’s too damn early in the morning for, he’s been here like 20. He’s in your office right now, ah my God" casting the cover off, leaping up, excited right into her dressing, did she watch Desrek Alum solemnly excuse himself. "You’re serious? Yes, as a Nicholas Coogan heart attack, cute, I’ll be there as quick as I can, don't let him leave. Tip got company already I see, that Sissy isn’t just company, oh, look again but very discreetly. Who is that? It’s Mr. Hike’s Peak himself, Mr. Artelon, here? And Sissy if I had the nerve I would go in there and convince him at being Dissuasions Frog Prince, Dissuasion has a Frog Prince, when the heck Erica did that happen? Ah just as Mr. steaming, dark and cryptic inquired of Tip, which Sissy remind me, so Ash was it the boss screwing up the assistant or the assistant screwing up the boss, or the both of you purposing to screw up Tiffany Ann, even Nicholas Edin? What on earth Miss, that's Mrs, okay, what Erica are you talking about? The photos, we now know they didn’t come from Miss Saurus fireplace, nor my deleted files, so that leave only you. It was my fault, I discovered double proofs in your camera, Merecal found both the article and the photos in my assignment drawer and we know the rest, double proofs. It happens, three days without pay? Make it seven Ash and I’ll see you and Merecal Monday. What in god’s name, Tip wouldn’t let me fire her, Ashleigh, and Merecal? You heard it Sissy from her own mouth, yeah but Ashleigh? Hear comes Tip, wow that was quick, yeah is he still here? Willing and waiting, so how I look? Is that a trick question? Ah Desrek Alum is taking up my rear, he agreed to the Desrek Chocolate ad, get him setup for me, dress and style shop, it's legendary already. Ah, and Erica, I need a mirror, like a wall mirror, right on it Tip, please god, make me a fly so I can sit on Tip’s wall, you is so insane, yeah Sissy, like you weren’t thinking, praying the same thing.”

SCENE II
“My god you are here.” coming right into a sensuous, most delectable hug of his feel good, smell good hug of his neck, heart, sweetly into his cheek. “I botched up the, you know, I know Christian you told me you didn’t want to see me again, ah god, I know, and I’m beloved so sorry for that, I know I hurt you, that I hurt myself, torn us apart the more. I was trying to say goodbye and it. Goodbye? Camilla and I Tifny are leaving, first to the Brightville Science Lab, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, it’s in California and after that we’re off to Jerusalem. To live Tifny, as in I won’t be coming back, not for a long time, that’s the farewell I really messed up. Jerusalem?” Easing fold arms, a just as foiled awareness backed into her desk of thinking matters were perhaps worse, either way she was losing Christian, either way. “That sound so permanent, I love her Tifny and I’ve chosen to spend what's left of this life with her, we just want to make a new go of it. So this Brightville Science Center?” Moving up to the coffee maker, thinking she’s to ready both of them a piping, cup but she being so anxious, so nervous, perhaps not. “What is it, did you want coffee? No, thanks, ah it’s one of the largest Scientific laboratories in the world, one Tifny specializing in every form of health related element globally. I’m to reconsider reconstruction surgery, Brightville will be my first stop, but you hate hospitals, seemingly Christian that would go even more paramount for surgery. Yes, that is true, then why would you? Of course I understand why, I mean is this really you or her, Camilla? Certainly Tifny I want a stab, no pundit intended, at a more normalized life, lived out of the shadows. Normal Christian? Just promise me you’re going to take care of yourself, only Christian if you promise me, you know you’re to be your most cautious, I've lost everything, you know this, I can't lose you as well. Look, I don’t mean to frighten you but there’s something dark, even dangerous stalking you, I’ve been seeing it, yes Maaseiah, since the very day Camilla walked back into my life. The reason Christian I remember that day is because Nicholas and I celebrated our three months anniversary, and I thought what a coincidence. The question now Tifny is, is it stalking me or Milla, and is that blackening the heart what took Becky from me? I Christian keep having this recurring vision, where I see children in the kingdom of heaven, having a hue, an ora like gold, running and playing, and being as happy as happy can ever be described, right under a huge, white spirling right into God's throne, staircase, that is what claimed your little Becky, the safest Christian tabernacle for our children, our loved ones ever, for eons to come. You is so amazing Maaseiah, what a phenomena imagery, that’s just it Christian, I don’t think it’s an imagery at all, I think it’s as real as you and I standing here and as phenomena as Jesus's Resurrection, to God, Heavens Promises. Walk with me to the elevator,” presenting himself that she’s to enfold her arm into his own, did she motion to Erica to take pictures, not only for business but for pleasure. "Pray for me Maaseiah that I’m even going to attempt this move without you at the helm, so does going to California mean you’re going to see Spirit and the others? Yes, that's a part of the plan as well, ironic, they're now in America with me as they've all wished, and I'm instead into Jerusalem, well, soon, anyway. Wow, Christian Cros remarried, onto reconstruction surgery and to a life, a family, in Jerusalem, so far away. Truly Maaseiah to walk by faith, still I’m to pretend Tifny through the entire ordeal, it is that you’re sitting at my right side, holding my hand, and petitioning God's throne in my stead, right? Tif-fa-ny!" Erica's covert effort to get them both too look her way, just a titillating shot at best, and she couldn't wait to see what Tip would do with them, all. "So beloved, if you feel the slightest, unguarded disturbance don’t be alarmed it’s only me praying you being safe my friend, really, really safe, and you Tifny, ah Maaseiah, you be this safe as well. I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I'm sorry, I can't, hey, hey, come here, it's okay, I don't want to say goodbye either, to be honest Christian, I know, it just doesn't feel right, set right, I feel it, but I guess we'll see huh? You my best friend ever, I guess we will, if you love me keep me in touch please, please Christian, don't make me come all the way to Jerusalem looking for you, you know I will, now that I do know, goodbye beloved, I can't, I'll just watch the elevator descend, saying farewell, godspeed.

SCENE III
"Wow you're quiet tonight" peeping up to a sorrowful Erica Lynn from a sip of her glass "sorry girl, gotta lot on my mind" sitting with Ashleigh Michelle in their favorite night spot, "IMAGE. You know that fine car that's been in the parking garage for a couple weeks, and we all fell in love with it? Well it's gone, yea I know, well damn, do you know everything? No," quite tickled at Erica Lynn surprise, "it was Tony's car, your Tony? Umm, that make sense, we always thought it belonged to the guy who tried killing himself. Isn't that Tip? Yeah, who's that doll she's with? Girl that's Desrek Alum, you missed it, he started shooting Tip's Desrek Chocolate well you was on leave , he's quite good looking, hell he's gorgeous, his facial stubble so creative, sexy, and you Ash missed him without his shirt on. They look really good together, yeah Tip kidda been in love with him forever, it's been nearly two months, is Nicholas still holding a grudge? I'll be right back, Tip, god Erica, you scared me, don't creep up on me like that, I'm sorry, but what are you doing? What you mean what I’m doing? Why are you here? No, why are you here with him, Desrek? All get serious, we're just friends, we had lunch, talked about his cologne line and end up here. What about Nicholas? What about him? This Erica has nothing to do with Nicholas and just because Desrek Alum is my school crush, doesn't mean he returns the sentiment as intimately. So you guys haven't broken up? If Erica it’s any of your business Nicholas haven't spoken to me in nearly three months, left a message saying, suggesting we do that, go our own way, I quote him. You know how much he love you, no Erica, I don't, not anymore, authentic love is first forgiveness, humility in his original form, beyond sacrificial, and? And Erica Lynn, I don't want to talk about it, ok? Oh, here he come, well, have fun, thanks, I will. "Well? Well Ash I think there's definately trouble in paradise, I wouldn't Erica say trouble, just a switch of the draw, and a very exquisite one at that. Hey, don't do that, Nickie really love Tip, yeah and he has a good way Erica of showing it, this scandle thing, I remind you, that you caused, was serious, he could’ve been disbarred. Only do I have to remind you she had nothing to do with it, that punk probably won't, he's no punk, my gracious Ash! Oh excuse me, that breathtakingly beautiful hunk of super flesh, either way, he's not playing fair and that's Erica not love, not the miraculous you described Tips mom found and we're all searching for."

SCENE IV
“A thousand times May I’m sorry. I was tempted, I mean look at you, I desired to kiss you and I did, look, I know where the line is with you. I’ve always known, even May when we were children, come on, you like being here and I May like having you here,” raking silken strands of hers behind each ear to this breathtakingly beautiful temptress, this made temporarily insane Desrek Alum just had to taste. "I won’t make that mistake again I promise, maybe Dare, just maybe, this is asking for too much. Shhhh, just come here,” directing her that she’s to lay with him along the sofa, snack, watch tv, that it was all so innocent. "Come on, at least let me hold you until you’re asleep and then perhaps I can get some work done myself, your Erica gave me an assignment, no doubt working on making a few days of working, permanent. You’re sure about this?"Cuddling into his feel good, smell good, into this invincible creature called man friend stout, safe bosom, Desrek Alum was as yummy as he appeared. "Look, I know how you feel about this Nicholas Coogan character, I don’t like it, but I know, I respect it. Now isn’t this nice, it’s incredible, so you’re telling me in all this time Derry there’s no special someone? Yes May of course there is, you know how long it’s been since anyone beside you have regularly called me that, about as long May as it been since anyone beside you has called me Dare. Sleep,” smooching softly her literally edible hairline, temple, nose, keeping her close, dissolving her into him, such an indescribably special time. “You know it’s going to be a bestseller, what’s that? The cologne, I plan to present it like it’s a box of Chocolates, you smell so good, feel May so good, don’t pull back, please. I miss you, just want to be close to you, that’s all I swear, that’s all, I swear. l so need that right now, I know you do too, you were about to tell me about her, who really know May, I mean relationships, especially in the supposedly free world, are nothing less than this roller coasters ride of various love interest, right? Various kinds, always visited, the ride is always up and down with perilous twists and turns, sometime treacherous and sometimes extremely worthwhile and insightful, but a roller coaster no less. So what is there to really tell? Suppose you’re the one Desrek Alum that’s to change. What you mean? Ah don’t do that, don't play in my ear, May, I mean the way you are with me, that’s different May, yes, but Desrek Alum, why is that? Because you’re different, no because Derry you think I’m different, he broke the mold with you Maaseiah, you may as well face it, it’s just simply so. Sometimes May, whether we’re to believe or not, there is given to mankind on this earth one of a kind, that there’s to never be another, and Maaseiah you’re it, now pleaseeee, go to sleep, okay, okay, party pooper.”

SCENE V
"So how long you're gonna hold this blame against your girl, punish her so?" With a lovely Philip Mance joining. What is that? Tiffany, that is her name right, how long are you going to punish your relationship with her? What do you mean, punish? She have called you every day for a while now, right?” Setting his meal from the tray to the table, reading his napkin, his water and tea glass, "and you Nicko man refuse her, I don't know Phil how you know that, but that is my business Phil. It was you, you giving her the news, she knew only of this mishap when you called her, right? You know I thought you was the most unselfish person I'd met, now I know it is your ego that is more important, what does all this profit you Attorney Coogan if you lose her, huh? That the man I come to know and learn from, then you don't know me, you don’t know me Phil at all, we've been roommates for a few months and now you know me? Don't patronize me Phil please, that no more Nicko man, I know you no more, like Phil say, so you write her off like that, like one unworthy opponent, this girl you ever wanted, huh, huh? Look,” cutting sparkling eyes, a threatening fork like a sword at them both, you all don't know what the hell you're talking about, plus I don't need this from you, and you Bij man, you're faithful to yours from one of their arms to the other? We can have lunch, we won’t you guys discuss my personal life, what a pity, and here I, ah, we were thinking you Nicholas were perfect, hell we all did, but no wonder those numbers have fallen off, huh, is he actually human? I'm warning you Phil, stay out of it, you too Bij, what if some Nicko man happen to her, you know, you're here being the ass, they say, what then Mr. ah, smarty pants? Well, there goes my appetite," seeing Phil storming off as well, all the reminder he'd felled his task to grow up, come a man in ways he'd not learned from he and Stefanie's tragedy, and he and Tiffany's long, distance courtship. "What a damn fool, I know I'm going about this all wrong, I look in the mirror saying I want a reason, a wedge to fix between us, such cowardice, damn it, god have mercy, how will I ever face her now?"
...THAT GOETH DOWN SWEETLY...
SCENE VI
“Ronda,” looking immediately into her watch, additionally into that wall clock, “did we have an appointment, no appointment Tif, I just wanted to talk, ok well make it quick I was on my way out. You and Derry are seeing a lot of each other I hear, ah yes, talk Ronda about getting straight to the point. What is this about? You of all people know Desrek and I are close friends,. Friends? Aren’t you spending nights at his place? Friends Ronda do that or did you forget? My god Tif, you and Deserk aren’t teenagers saving yourselves for marriage any more or have you realized the implications, or the complications of what you’re doing? Believe it or not Ronda it’s not like that, Derry and I talked just last night about lines that couldn’t or wouldn’t be crossed. Plus he has girls, two of them he doesn’t need me, Tif, do you really believe you could spend this manner of time at his place if that was true? It's all make believe, let me guess which two this time, Monique and Anjelica right? Look, I know it’s hard for you to understand but he’s just being a really good friend now. Deserk is still in love with you Tif, he’s still saving himself for you, saving himself, as in celibacy? I don’t understand, there was no signs of that when he first came, that’s Tif because he knew everything that was going on with you through me. But now with Nicholas out of town and that relationship being on the rocks, he thinks he has a chance. No,” still this head shaking, unimaginable form of denial, she couldn't be that wrong, that out left field about them, surely, Corronda was mistaken. "We’re just two friends being there for one another and that’s all, no Tif, he’s courting you. Think just for a moment, the breakfasts, the lunches, the dinners, how many nights Tif have you stayed at his place? Deserk is courting you, I know he’s being everything you need him to be and he’s pretty much taking what he can get but he isn’t just expecting more he want it all, all you offer Nicholas Coogan and more. How goddamn blind am I? It’s not blindness, he’s everything you need right now without the strings, the attachments, and he’s Ronda the, agreeing sacrificial lamb, right? You Tif said lines, like a borderline, how far have you guys gone? Ah not that far, a forbidden, stolen kiss, though he literally rocked me to sleep the few nights I was there, Tif, I know, it felt so good, but I was wrong, this is wrong, but I can’t Ron just drop him. Well that's my heads up, I’m gonna go, I know Tif you know what to do, yeah I got a feeling Nicholas is coming back, wedding bells and all, at least that's what he'll think, good and goodnight, yeah Ronda, thanks, sleep tight.”
...CAUSING THE LIPS OF THOSE WHICH ARE ASLEEP TO SPEAK..
SCENE VII
"Wait Tony, these are theater tickets to the Mphasis tonight, how fast can you get ready? A guy gave them to me as payment today, earth to Ash? Ah, I don't, ah have anything to wear to anything this extravagant, okay, we need to get to the center, and you Mrs. Decorte just read my mind, now come on, we have no time to waste. Erica Lynn is just gonna love this, like girls playing dress up, ah, by the way she ask me is your car for sale? I ask her why? Told her Tony she need to be trading the hot rod she has for a van, Mrs., married and soon to be with children, she thought that was so hilarious. You know we're not gonna want to go home after this show, right? Well babe let's, let Erica and crew doll us all up first and we'll spend the night after amazing at the Ritz Carlton into an amazing morning afterward, what, the Ritz Carlton? Yeah, that theater offer Ash, came with keys to a room, a night at the Ritz Carlton, all as spontaneous as all of that. Look at wifey, are you gonna cry? Yes, and don't mock me Tony, don't mock me, a moment like this Tony make me think I'm dreaming and I will, might wake up the nightmare I was in before you found me, us again. You could hold, what Ash, why you're, I was only gonna say, you could hold the steering wheel, while I pinch you and then kiss your boo, boo. You just keep your eyes on the road, ah my god it's gonna be like celebrating an anniversary, perfect timing Ash, that's exactly what we need. Ah man, hearing you say that make me look forward even more to tonight, we could skip the, bite your tongue, I can't babe but you're welcome, you is so bad, .and you love my bad, admit it Ash, there's no way you can have a ride like this and not be a bad boy, with a bad girl, right? A bad boy husband, don't forget that part, never again Mrs. Decorte, which remind me, when do you want to do it? When do I want do what? First Ash you got to promise you not gonna cry, how can I do that without you first asking me, children babe, when you want to try again? Ash, see," as one sniffing near to tears himself, those beginning to blur his driving, all the more decreasing her ability to contain herself, ..I'm pulling, ah, over, ...no, we don't have time, but I'm no longer on any prevention pills, ...are you telling me, ..I'm telling you Tony we can be expectant parents any and every time we enter into our marriage bed. Okay I just got really nervous, ..don't, you gonna make a great dad and we husband are gonna make perfect parents. So does the name Andrea mean anything to you? I been meaning Ash to ask, ..yes, it's your sister name. So I do have a sister? Yes, but you and she are, ah, ah, what? Estranged, how estranged? You sure you not gonna let it damper your spirit? The last I talk to Andrea about you, she said she wouldn't come to your funeral if you was dead and I shouldn't either, after your parents died, you guys went separate ways, you to your grandma and she to your uncle, not even Tony, the same city. My grandmother? I never met her, I just heard you mention her here and there, I asked Andrea to keep her informed, but, knowing how she felt, I never Tony should've trusted her. That's okay, we'll find her, my granny, that should help with my memories right, yeah I'm actually feeling emboldened, yeah we'll find her.
I AM MY BELOVED’S AND HIS DESIRE IS TOWARD ME...
SCENE VIII
“Are you sure May about this? I bet Ronda said something to you right, did you ask Tip, why? Ronda only made me realize you're looking for more than friendship, look, all I know is that I’m spending the most fantastic time I’m to imagine with the one person on this planet I love the most and so May is you. Who's to say that unless we’re congenital, that unless May we through intimate relations, that it’s impossible to help each other? Now hand me that bag right there, I’m tired May, I’m tired of people like Ronda telling me what isn’t right, what May isn’t allowed. I not only know what I’m doing but I’m satisfied with what I’m doing, well Dare, may god help me, because I don’t know, it’s all beginning to feel like a paradox, I had no ideal I had so much stuff here. ...Do you May think about Mike often? A Day doesn’t go by whereas I don’t wish I could bring him back somehow, not a single day. So is he and Nicholas that dissimilar? Where is this line of questioning Dare, coming from? Just, you know, well Mike not only loved life, but he really respected it as having a manner of control over him, it was like he knew this earth only has certain allowances and he was ready to spend them with me so to speak, you know, before the birth upon offer expired. Now Nicholas Edin, with him Derry nothing is in control of his destiny but he himself, he's very self aware. You know, all those good lies we're told from birth, in his world he is god, and he can spend this eternity he has created for himself as he wish and desire. He’s still not receiving your calls? Not only my calls but he’s refusing any manner of dealing with me, it's unbearable. Sissy is to say Sye is to say it’s not him, that it’s Macremore and Vance not wanting to jeopardize the Law suit they’re to have against Dissuasion Fashion Center, you know depending on a suitable retraction, but I’m not sure I agree with that. Now May tell me how playing by nature supposedly rule book, that getting and having all your supposedly Ducks in a roll have made plenty sense of either Michael or Nicholas? According to Ronda and I’m sure Derry the others, I’m being selfish, that I’m the ruin and you’re the sacrificial lamb and as soon as I'm fully medicated, you know. Even if that’s true since when does choosing to be a sacrificial lamb for those you love and trust a sin, if I’m not mistaken it’s not only encouraged by supreme Gods but commanded. You see,” at this delight of him, caressing his chocolate cheeks, stopping him, helping her get her things packed. “This is the side Derry, Ronda refuse to see, just when did no non-sense Deserk become so wise, especially about spiritual things? I guess you can say May when I actually start listening to you, I better get out of here, I have mandatory meetings I’m to get to. What is it Maaseiah you’re to think about us all? I think Derry you’re so special, that no one deserve you, especially not me, although Derry that isn’t my decision is it, isn't it god's? I have you, and don't you May ever forget it, I don't know for how long, but none of us know that, good day sweet knight, good day to you sweet princess, be safe, see you there later.”
...COME, MY BELOVED...
SCENE IX
"I'm gonna tell moma, tell moma what? Jason is feeding the dog again dad, well let's not wake moma, she's sleeping, and you, you behave yourself young man. Tell a tail, pants on fire" licking his all right the both of you calm down, and that's Jason, liar, liar, pants on fire, ...where's moma? Let's not disturb mom, she's not feeling all that well, so we’re gonna be nice enough to let her sleep. What's this dad? You know what those are pancake, look funny but taste delicious , I want moma! Ok, ok, ok, but only if you promise to be nice and quite, you can go in and kiss her goodbye for the morning. What about lunch? Moma always fix ....why don't we do like the last time? You know you're a good dad, well thanks a lot Danny for the support, I really try, ...thanks dad. Are we Dad still having the party? It's your mother's birthday and we want to announce the baby, what's a baby?" With little Jason still fooling around with his lunch money pushed into his pocket "I told you a baby is someone smaller than yourself, a new addition to the family, right dad, Yes Daniel, like cousin Jeremy, did a mommy have cousin Jeremy? Yes, remember her name was Stephanie, and Jeremy come from her Jason about the same time you come from mommy ...and now Uncle and Aunt Sissy are parents, right again Daniel. You two get your things and we’ll kiss kiss momma, and dad the little baby bye? Yes Jason when you kiss mommy, you kiss the little baby too, .hun,” easing into the room expecting her to still be in bed, but was she closed into the bathroom instead. "Not now Brad ok, no honey the boys are here, I can't Brad, please, are you alright? Just a little sick at the stomach that's all, goodbye boys, have a good day. There now you boys go on, I'll kiss mommy for you, you don't want to miss your bus, bye dad, Danny, don't forget to hold your brother's hand and escort him to class, ..you better tell him to wait for me, he's always running off, Jason you wait for your brother now, you guys be good, be careful. Barb? are you sure you're alright?" Thinking he’s to notice droplets of blood on the floor was Bradford the mounting panic, "Barb, what’s going on in there, is this blood, I see? Something's wrong, something's wrong with the baby, I'm bleeding Brad, I need help, hurry, I need help!
...LET US GO FORTH INTO THE FIELD...
SCENE X
"You wanted to see me, Deserk Tip, is missing, what did you say to him? What do you mean missing? The last you saw him Tip what was said, please? Nothing in particular, I mean we decided perhaps we were getting a little too close for comfort, Desrek and I met at his place Thursday evening, I packed, we talked while I did, I explained I had to get to a screening session, that was, well Tif here it is Tuesday morning and no one has seen or heard from him since. Including you right? I just told, what happen to this letting him down or out easily, it wasn’t Ronda like, you see, I knew something like this was bound to happen, sometimes Tip you can be so wrapped into your own mess you can’t see anybody else's. Look I admitted I was a little naive about Desrek underlying purpose, as so you know he has always shrugged off my advances, but Deserk is a consenting adult Ronda, meaning all this will not be laid so easily at my door. Don't you mean Tip your swinging to revolving door? You think he was suicidal, Sole seems to think there's some deep mess going on with Derry and he's just not saying. Would he harm himself? “No, he was quite please with what we decided, and Desrek believe the same as I about suicide, it's not a blessed way out, but a curse, eternal damnation. Just what Tip did you two decide? That Ronda we will deal with our relationship as it please us, what are you trying to prove, that friends Tip of the opposite sex can actually be friends? I don't know what changed down the line somewhere, but right now, what Derry want from you, isn't friendship and what my god Ronda are you so afraid of, that Derry and I just might find something other than friendship? People get hurt around you Tif, even killed, I just don’t want Derry in something he can’t handle, people get hurt, isn't that just pitiful, you can't trust your best friend with your brother. You’re talking about yourself, about Mike, and O my god look at how Nicholas’ career is now spinning in the balance of uncertainty, all my freaking fought, right? Deserk is a big boy now Ronda, he isn’t the little boy you watched over when you was his sitter, he doesn't need you protecting him from monster Tiffany Ann, even Bella Mafia, Syefan Coogan would say. No, I'm not, thank god I’m not, Derry, my heaven where have you been? To France, and as you can see Ronda I’m fine, France, as in Paris? Yes, as in Maaseiah’s fiance Nicholas Coogan, Derry, don’t May be so alarmed, it’s not what you think, they call you that, Bella Mafia, really? But look, every time I saw you so hurt by these present events namely him, I felt so crippled, so May helpless, the one thing that’s to drag my heart down, way down. I mean somebody had to tell this guy he didn’t deserve you, that no man on this planet does, but regardless he May have you, hook, line and sinker. Dare please tell me you didn't do that, and if he’s foolish enough to lose you, to jeopardize the next best thing to paradise. I could tear your head off, who the hell you think you are meddling into my affairs? Your friend, and it was all worth it, you stay away from me, May, it was so worth it, worth it, what you mean worth it? I'll never forgive you for this. May, I was kidding, I didn't see him, I said somebody needed to tell him those things, and though I so wanted to be that person, I talked myself out of it. My military stratum, ah itinerary took me to Paris, to France, I didn't see him though I was tempted, but May, when I tell you what I saw, what I experienced, May, May please, don't, you wanna, what the hell, nobody can go to Paris now because Nicholas Coogan is there? You know that's not it, that was some trick, I was accusing her of hurting you Derry and perhaps destroying your future just as you walked into the door. Just what is it Ron with you and her, huh? You say you her friend but damn it if you act like it, if I was so sure it wasn't possible, I would say you're damn right envious of us having any type of an intimate relationship, just as May's dear O dad. It's wise of you that you didn't, why I would be jealous? Maybe sis you should stand in the mirror and ask yourself that question, I gonna find May, Ron, I love you, but I don't need this from you. Neither does Tip, she need us with her more now than ever, okay, I know what I'm doing and you just gonna have to trust me, "I'll see you at Sole's Wedding dinner, Ron, I hear you, see you at Sole's celebration dinner, my god, the only reason you come back, yeah, ah, see you then, love you Derry, love you too.!"
...LET US LODGE IN THE VILLAGES...
SCENE XI
"There was Sye so much blood," not only could you feel their rather compassionate embracing, but you could here the power of it clashing upon one another, a hysterical Bradford Elan. "I’m sorry about this Brad, Sissy and I are here now, it’s gonna be alright. The baby is gone, say they couldn’t save them both, and, so, they saved Barb instead, but they almost lost her too. Still could lose, you look at me, Barb is going to make it, death has done it's bidding here, he will not take her as well. I don't know Sye what I would, ....you'll do nothing but believe god for her life, you hear me, you believe for her life. You remember dad after he lost mom, Brad, this is not that, ....what about Nickie? He need to, I talked to Nickie, he's going to get here as soon as he can, here!?" Meticulously swabbing his nose into a brush of a moist chin into a flashing, even more serious light with Nicholas having to come in from France. "That's what he said, now why don't we go into the chapel and pray for Barb, no, I don't want to leave her, I'm here, I'll come right after you if need be. The boys, somebody, Tip, she went after the boys, they should be here soon, Barb had just told me that if anything happen to her she want me to have the boys, well nothing is going to happen to her, right? Yeah, Barb gonna be alright, they couldn’t save the baby though, happen so fast, that's strange, how fast you know things go wrong, you know."
...LET US GET UP EARLY TO THE VINEYARD...
SCENE XII
"Who is she? That would be the fiance, 5'7,8, about 115 lbs, "yeah with a knock-out bod and hell the most beautiful streaked, brown hair ever, make you wonder what the doc see in, ouch Massey, damn it that hurt, I mean, see in her, as in inside her. That if Dr. Hymn is to marry her she's far beyond her outer appearance, right? I'm gonna get an ex-ray, and that's not Hymn's fiance, that's his wife, so be careful what you say, if this is permanent, I'm suing you." >>>"Erica, talk to me, come on baby you’re frightening me, it’s Barb. Okay, what about Barb? She almost died tonight, what! My god how? I don’t know Matt it just seem like every situation in that waiting area brought rushing back everything that happen to Mike, then Sye and all I could think was not again, please god not again. Barbara is in really good hands, I'm sure she'll be fine, she lost the baby Matt, and she bleed out near to death; again baby I’m so sorry, I don't think I want to be alone, shhhh I'm here now, shhhh, you’re with me now. You think you can get off early, like now? I’m sorry about all of this, Barb and the baby, but tonight babe is my night. You know you really frighten me, I know, I know Mat, but the only thing I could think about was getting to you. I love you too, but I have got to get back to work, I know, walk me to the waiting area, I can trust Matt you’re to leave as soon as possible, I’ll come to you as soon as is possible yes, you be safe, you as well Matt, Matt, I love you so much, ...love you too babe, I'm so sorry about this, get to you soon.”
...LET US SEE IF THE VINE FLOURISH...
SCENE XVIII
"Ah god Erica, shirt on, off, this stuff with Nicholas got me feeling so constricted about this now, calm down, we'll shoot Desrek doing both, go from there. That's one gorgeous black man Tip, he can keep his shirt off forever, I know, Erica, get in line, I been in love with Desrek Alum all my life. Okay, Salvage girl, move past the door as to leave your distant reflection in the mirror, now Desrek, bring the Desrek chocolate package into the mirror image. Then I want you to glance at this reflection along a rest of your weary head, eyes, closed into the mirror, you're so in love with them both, and that's guys my shot for today. Shoot it until we get it right, hey, I'm gonna take a restroom break, ah, I need you to let Desrek see these prints, ..huh? Yes, I want his advice, I just feel that, I caught him looking at his reflection before we come, so, okay, okay, you're Tip the professional here, thanks Erica. You guys can take a break, Wonder, Salvage and Desrek, I need the three of you in screening, come on you guys let's do this, we have less than a week before our next release. Hey, did you get Desrek making the walk of fame? I did but Tip, I got Christian as well, and you are not going to believe it, do you know how many people around here want to know about this? Then mystery walks in, who is he, where he come from Tip, where is he going, what is his relationship to the FPD ladies of New York Fashion? And who better Tip to do that article besides you? Still, I'm telling you what I caught on camera, it's miraculous great, can't wait to see it." >>>"May, you still in here? I'm not speaking to you, I said I'm sorry, did you see him, the guy I was with? I did briefly, yeah, ...that's him, that's the best friend, mentor, I was crying at a lost about the other night, you was right Dare, it wasn't as bad as I thought. You coming out of that stall? I'm hungry, let's get come lunch, I'll meet you at the elevators, hurry, I'm starving, ...Dare, here I come, okay, ...okay babe, okay." >>>"Good you're still here, I need someone else Sissy to look at this so I know I'm not crazy, I caught Mr. Artelon along the walk of fame coming and going, look, I don't understand Erica, that's not possible, are, whether or not it's him, yes. Look close, you can tell it's him, then look at the date, time, all Sosh. What the hell is going on? Erica! Ah I know, I ran those prints over and over, ...well what did Tip say? She haven't seen them, she just left to have lunch with Desrek, Erica, there has to be an explanation for this, which is why I ran them again and again. You keep, I'll get them to Tip as soon as she return, I name it Sissy before I saw this, then mystery walks in, ironic huh? Very and kinda spooky delicious,. But Erica, what the hell, is going on?
...WHETHER THE TENDER GRAPE APPEAR...
SCENE XIV
Erica, what you're telling me and what you're showing me is not possible, you see the date, time, all the same Erica as you, this is impossible, how the hell you get a picture of Christian and his scares are not there, exactly, how the hell is this possible, look at him, he's flawless? I don't know, but I ran them over and over, I can't Tip explain it, what's Erica so evenly odd, he was only here to tell me he's going under reconstruction surgery. Wha, what the hell? Fathom or, or Erica Lynn, to P. h. a. n. t. o. m, Look, I have an ideal, if you can get pictures of Christian before his accident, if we Tip can make that comparison and it's identical we truly do have a walk of Phantom. I can't believe it, I can't freaking believe it, well nor could Sissy and I, pictures of Christian, before his accident, I'm Erica gonna get on that, you gonna go with the Phantom of the Fashion Center or what? Oh my God, it's brilliant, serendipitously, but, your god, Tip, truly is awesome, our god, Erica, I keep telling you, our god, there's only One, all other invitations of godliness. {{[Hello, Spirit, it's good to hear your voice, I know, can't wait to see you again as well, I need to ask you a favor until then. I'm doing an article on Christian, haven't asked him, so it's our little secret, I need you to send me pictures of him, before his accident, I'll send you copies of the ones we made. Great, how soon could you get, yes, one day mail, perrrrfit, thank you Spirit so much, ok, Tifny, I'll get busy right now, love you, thanks again." >>>"Have you seen her? No Brad and I'm not going to, what is this about Nickie? Trust Brad, look don't start ok, I know Nickie, I know, but my baby brother is living and dying according to an order that tells him he's in control of his own life, hell destiny. Tell me Nickie, if we were in control do you think I would’ve chosen this fate for my wife and myself, you think we would even be in this hospital, waiting area right now? You never know man, that's all I'm saying Nickie, you never know when it's going to come, how it's going to come, which of your loved ones are next, you just know by a curse long, long ago, it's coming. I know I'm going to be sorry but what are you saying? I'm saying you are fooled if you allow things, anything, horrible things as this to go unsaid and undone between you and the woman you love, I don't want my brother to be fooled. Tiffany hurt me Brad man, really disappointed me, and I mean really hurt me. No Nickie, no, Tiffany didn't snap those shots, she didn't place them in that magazine, she didn't Nickie make sure they arrived in Paris France just in time to destroy you, have your position question, actually no one did, not intentionally. This Nickie is what your brother mean when he say don't be fooled into thinking you're in control, this is the woman Nickie you've wanted for all your eternity before you were even born. There's a part of me Brad that want to go to her and hold her and never, my god ever let her go, ever, and that is my forever heaven. Still, there is this part that is desperate to hate her the way this mishaps has hated me and caused me insurmountable pain and embarrassment, I know one is my relentless pride that is hard to kick against, the other my compassionate heart that is far easier to deny but with endless repercussions, as abandoning Tiffany. I see you've thought this thing through, well yes, many sleepless nights, even more since Tiffany is no longer singing me to sleep and I know exactly what I'm to do, good, that’s all I wanted to hear. Singing you to sleep, yeah, can she, sing? Ah, yeah, professionally if she want to, wow she never ceases to amazes, does she? I heard someone call her the gift that keeps on giving, I like that, I acquaint her with praying for Barb back there, explaining to God. Barb's blood was broken, ask Him to heal her blood, so Nickie, I like that amazing description."
SCENE XV
“So what do you think? He could die you know, death could finish him, death Nadie is an automatic curse, your own niece, parents. Look, it’s just a series of surgeries, and whose Spirit to know about death, it has millions of ways to claim you? Yeah Niegl, but putting oneself in harms way make death's job that much easier, so that's what you think? I think it has Camilla written all over it, that again Christian is to risk it all for her, ...for her Nadia, as in his wife. This can’t Spirit, Nadia be only about her, don’t either of you think Christian want the opportunity to be normal? Ah come on Niegl, you’ve been here long enough to realize no one know what that is, but the supreme, certainly not us and certainly not a man as vulnerable as Christian. He’s taking a huge chance, and the way Nie he’s to suffer mentally, do we even want to imagine that? No doubt you two think this is my fault, having persuaded Camilla back? Spirit and I aren’t laying blame here, Christian has had to consider reconstruction surgery many times, so we’re simply concern for our brother. How about overly concern? ...Christian, we thought you left with Camilla, no she had business in town, didn’t need me along. Why weren’t you guys truthful with me from the beginning, I mean if you have concerns let’s iron them out right here and now. The question Christian is why, why now? Yeah and if Camilla wasn’t back would you still be doing this? Don’t get us wrong Christian, we want you to be happy, which is why if you gonna do this we're coming with, you know, if reconstruction surgery is that road then by all means travel it. But, if this is about making someone else, ..it’s my brother and sister, what I want, yes Milla being back has had some influence on this decision, she found the center. Deeply, I was already contemplating or imagining such a move, it’s just that with her I won’t be a lone guinea pig in some science lab. You appeared to, I know Nadia, at being so content, I’d come to terms with destiny’s choices for my life, learning or simply accepting she knew what was best. Although now it seems as though Milla and I both have been given a new chance, why not an overall manner of renovation, huh, why not? But I have only let you guys come as far as the California Brightville center, just think, a New face, back to Jerusalem to live, ...that’s another thing Christian, you always told us the promise land wouldn’t be fulfilled as promise until the Christ reign, that until then it’s just another pending graveyard. Thank you little brother for reminding me of that, although I think if Milla and I are to make a real go of it, the Artlelon property is nothing less than perfect without us in it. You’ve changed, you’re not the same Christian Cros we left behind only months ago, ...and is that Nadia so terrible, I mean if it’s a change for good? For Christian what you think is good, remember this isn’t the first time you thought making a life with Camilla was good as you say, suppose it's just isn’t meant to be? Only there’s no telling whose to die this time, that’s Spirit a cold, calculating way of looking at it but regardless of all your concerns and even your well wishes, it’s my decision to make and having said that I have packing to do, well, I guess we all do. Spirit? What? You hurt him, no, I frighten him, perhaps I even frighten some sense into him, I have my studying Nadia, well my packing and my studies, as so do you ....what little brother you always say about prayer? Ah, only Nadia it changes everything and sure enough Christian is in a fire sure need of it."
...THERE WILL I GIVE YOU MY LOVES...
SCENE XVI
"So how did it go? Bradford told me you went to see Tip, we said our goodbyes, I don't understand" easing vaughly sedated on a bed of Bradford’s guess room, apparent Nicholas was making an exit, getting his things together, off to Paris. "I thought you two were to make up, my god Nickie tell me you're not that cenical. Tiffany is an amazing woman, then Sye you can have her, cause I'm done, that isn't so hard is it? What is this Nickie actually about, those photographs or you actually thinking you can push every dear thing away and still live, still make a stand among the fallen? This Sye is about me making this life whatever I purpose and within that I purpose, I will have a woman, a wife Sye I can't trust in all things or I will not have a woman at all. This didn't happen Nickie on purpose, that thought alone is driving you crazy, yes, just like you and Stef right? This is not that Nickie, ah yeah, if people Sye gave a damn about other people more than themselves, perhaps that would be the difference. Tip's trust and love was shown, in that time she learned of those photos, time Nickie she knew they existed, she tossed them and burn them, even while Erica was crying. Then how Nickie about those blacken calling the kettle black, practicing that preached or promised, what about her, what about Tiffany Ann in all of this? Why Sye, you never liked Tiffany, never trusted her, so why are you defending her? How Nickie are you not? You persuaded her to love you, hell to wait unto an eternal marriage for you, and someone makes this, this mistake Nickie, because that's all it was Nickie, a mistake. Look I know you're hurt, I won't even claim I know how much, but Tiffany doesn't deserve this, she shouldn't lose you as well, not if you care, not if you're the difference. What do you mean? What baby bro, you hit your head, you got amnesia all of a sudden? Tiffany was lost, tremendously lost, hopeless and you, like a knight to a damsel in distress came and changed all of that, you made her believe in love and life again and I fear Nickie you've taken it because you know you gave it. I know what you're foolishly thinking, you rather see her hurting, well, congrats, she is hurt, only Nicke, all of us are, we’re all of us hurt by this, just how damn blind are you? I'm sorry for all the things gone bad, I'm sorry that I was the one inflicting that pain, I'm sorry about papa, about moma and Stef. That Nickie is all a part of growing up, into loved, lives of your own, Sissy almost lost me, but in a same, similar, cursive attempt, I almost lost her, unfair Nickie yes, unusual no. Tiffany is your greatest treasure, you must Nickie see that, the greatest treasure of us all, yeah Sye, for how freaking long? Who the hell knows, forever or for this very second but with her such limits with unknowing are worth it. Perhaps Sye you're right," visibly brushing at a tingling nostril along folding away socks and underwear, closing up said bag, finished, Syefan guessed. "Maybe I’m being a damn fool and need to call her or get to her right now but it’s all still Sye my decision, you right, so right. Come to think, Tiffany don't need anymore pain in her life, so if that's all Nickie you have to offer is pain, hopelessness, then maybe it's best you walk away, and just disregard all I said here. To be honest Sye, I hate myself for doing this to her, I've failed her so horribly, what a coward, why would she ever trust me again? Then don't Nickie intentionally fail, that’s all I’m saying, stop pricking yourself and prick instead this sizable unforgiveness, this hoarding sickly along regrets unadmittedly, it's cowardice Sye. I guess, call her, or even as you said go to her, tell her how you really feel. I’ve decided Sye, I’m not saying you haven’t touched on very important issues here and there, and how very wise, but I still think it’s better Tiffany and I go our separate ways, she has accepted that, well we have, so should you all. Ok, alright, I lean toward Nickie what's best for her, but if there’s nothing I’m to say to convince you what a mistake it is, but learning harshly is growing right? As I said, if facing her is more horrific Nickie than losing her, repeatedly tearing her heart out, then as painstaking as Christ's Cross for her, Tiffany is better off without you, safe flight Nickie, safe flight."
....THE MANDRAKES GIVE A SMELL
SCENE XVII
"I'm telling you Sissy she stood there in that floor, at the sofa, just as he said what he said and left, so desolate, not moving, not living for a long while it seems. I have never in all my life seen anything like it, not even watching her suffer through Mike, it was as though Nicholas came in a grim reaper of some sort and ripped her heart out, spirit, soul..I tell you, he murdered her Sissy, just as if he’d pulled a trigger, shhhh, calm down," pulling as to hand an upset to tears Erica Lynn kleenexes, did a heartbroken to see, hear, Susan Faye need them well. "I sat there on the edge of the counter so wanting to help her until I ran to her but she wouldn't let me near her and she just stood there, crouched over in pain, her once Sosh golden eyes down and black as coal, I glanced away for a second, for only a second it seemed and she was gone, I didn't even hear the door, anything, she was just gone. Well Erica, apparently she's ok, she's at work, that doesn't Sissy mean she’s ok! I agree with you Erica, Nicholas really did a job on her this time, she's packing, what do you Ronda mean she's packing, packing Sissy, as in so long, see you later, goodbye, destination Jamaica. That bastard, that freaking bastard, I can imagined just what he said to her, I don't know what he said but as far as Tip is concern she's feeling all the pains and heartache as one who just married and divorced in only a few months times. What you mean, are you saying what I think you're saying? A bride in waiting, promised from birth, nall Ronda, that can't be, what about Mike and all that? It never happen, what you mean it never happen? It Erica never happen, then how in the hell could we not know that, Sosh? What do we really know Erica about a person's sex life? Ronda is right, beside what they tell us or what they allow us to believe, what do we know? Damn it, I could kick myself, I encouraged it, thought them perfect, you may as well Sissy kick all of us then, Sye told me how cruel Nickie can be but I couldn't believe it, wouldn't believe it, that bastard, it’s just as Sye said. So Tip say where she's going or you're guessing? I don't think Erica she even knows, away from here, from, this, him, there must be something we can do, hell say, to let her know there’s no place like home, like us, that we Ronda are it. There may not Erica be anything you or I, or even you Sissy can say or do but I know one person she just might listen to, you mean your brother Deserk, I’ve seen them together, she really seems to trust him. I’ll get right on it ladies and keep you posted. What if Erica I told you that Tip wasn’t the only one in she and Nicholas' relationship saving themselves for marriage? Then Sissy that could only leave Nicholas, my god that would explain why he’s so shy, even Erica why he’s so unforgiving regarding those photos. You do Sissy know how extremely rare that is, impossible this days and time, that both of them were celibate until they surrendered to one the other, that, ah, that night caught in awesome imaging. But wouldn’t that Sissy give credence to how important this relationship is to Nicholas, how he like Tip can’t write something so sacred off so easily? Indeed Erica it would, and is it that final ace in the hole so to speak left to play, I don’t think they’re out of the game at all. Who you calling? Tip, see if she want to go to lunch, or lunch shopping , talk, I don’t know Erica, I don't know, it's just something beside this feeling of helplessness, okay, let's hope she's better with you than she was with me."
...It All Seem Broken Now...
Scene XVIII
"Hello, I hope it's okay Tip that I visit, yeah Sye, come right in, I was about to take a break anyway, plus I love getting visits from my near to brother in laws. Nicholas is lost Tip, cursed in likeness and I come to beg you that you pardon anything that doesn't make sense coming out of his mouth. I know that's harsh, you know he's here right? Yes," as one as to sniff, brush at, along a clearing of her throat at the emotional breakup she and Nicholas had and how brutal. "Ah yeah, he come visiting alright, when I talked to him last, you know Tip what he told me? He'd been so terrible with you, he was now too embarrassed, as in too proud to admit to you how gravely he failed you, the both of you, saying it's easier to just walk away. He was filled, oozing up of this unconfessed regret, that by his unforgiveness, which is not an act of love but of aggression against love, and how could he Tip ever face it, face you down? Nickie's lamentations of madness. Then," as to brush her golden cheeks, into her neck, golden tears away, fit, dampen, golden strands behind her ear, over her golden shoulders. "That is Sye some admittance, as long as he's besieged in that manner he has nothing to offer but, but pain Tip, this I told him, even chaos his own heart, now Sye ours. What do you want me to do, you just explained Sye why Nicholas is like an unapproachable blizzard of confusion, what, what can I do? Love him regardless, which mean Tip don't abandoned him, not just yet, Nicholas told Brad he know he should find you, hold you Tiffany and never, ever let you go, ever, never, his words exact. Yet, when he come to find you, he portray himself a destructive, ruining pride, he's lost, he's double minded and mistrusting, again lost. I know he hurt you just now, I know he's lost in a blizzard of confusion as you said, ripped your heart and tore you Tip in ways there's no way you want to endure that ever again. I know love, I know, but he won't turn to god, he won't take our advice, he won't come to you, that can only mean, his knees Sye are broken, he's at a point of no return. That's what my mom said of my dad and after what he just did to Mike, he is yet to recover, the only way Tip to endure an emotional blizzard the heart, blood? The whole armor of God, Sye, which Tip you are, some Sye say, but look, Nicholas is my husband for life, I know this, I Sye by every beat of all hearts this planet believe this. So does Nicholas, he's not Sye just fighting me, he's fighting a divine destiny, he's in his own garden of gethsemane, flesh weak, and he alone can make that choice. That mean only by righteous prayers Sye can we then help direct his assigned path, I was Sye on a 21 day fast, not sharing myself so lightly, Nicholas is my husband. I will have him back, I was enduring my hardest time of it, soon I heard a voice, is he worth this, is he worth all this pain and agony? I Sye thought briefly and I said, I love him, love is worth this, ah god Tiffany, no, no, I'm alright, King Solomon Sye, the wisest man ever, compared all of this to death and dying, so without shedding of blood, without suffering and dying, who then Syefan Erin can fall in love, right? Right, yes, you're right, thanks ah sister, can I get a hug, a reassuring hug, love too, I need one as well, group hug everybody, everybody better come and get some, group hug, everybody!" And they did, Syefan Erin had not seen or heard anything the like, they come until Tip's office space was filled, so amazing grace, beyond description, unforgettable. "Ah my gracious to life what fun, ahhh, god Tip, Sissy, you in here? I am, we don't miss out around here Sye on group hugs, Erica over here, Wren, here, Ash, here, Tony as well, Wonder here, Vince over here, Merecal here, Tynan over here," they all sound off, tickled one by one. Then Syefan Erin knew something divinely miraculous was happening and not in a million years could he explain it, not even try. "What fun you guys, what amazing fun, all right, back to work, yeah, yeah, we have a magazine to get out, so thank you guys, yeah, you welcome, .and thank you, me and Mr. Coogan really needed that, thanks Tip, you welcome Sye, Sissy. Tip, I have errands, so I'll see you guys later, as usual babe, be careful, you Sye better not let Nicholas hear you call me that, ah I'm, no Sye, just funning. See, I won't let him call me babe, it is totally forbidden, actually I literally fist, fought him about it, ah, yeah, I think he told me about that, bye you guys. Sissy, what the hell just happen? I know Sye, I know, you know she just been on a 21 day fast to win Nicholas back, that angels or spirits talk with her? No Sye, but I know Tiffany Ann and what happen in her office just now? You ready? I wanna to see Barb before we return, yeah, sure, this place is remarkable, ...and she Sye, as you just experienced, make and keep it all this way, remarkable.
... AND AT OUR GATES ARE ALL MANNERS OF PLEASANT FRUITS... SCENE XIX
-“I brought Chocolates” witnessed as one rushing to a door knocking obviously hoping it was a returning, apologetic Nicholas Edin, and not off to France yet believing in celebrative hearts.
“You better be glad you did or else there would be no getting in here, Ron told me how well packed you were. So where are we off too in such a hurry? You know right after Mike died I knew, you knew what? That none of this Derry was going to work, that there was this something, I don’t know as clear as day and just as illusive. That's life right? Tell me Dare, what does it mean when the heavenly host tell you a day is to come whereas you’re not to want for nothing, even upon visitations there, they can't wait to be on the earth where you are. Wouldn’t it have been easier to simply say since you love me so much a day is coming whereas you’re going to suffer mightily and die? I even told Sye some stuff, Nicholas brother, I know Sye, well, District Attorney, Syefan Coogan, yeah well you should've seen his face. I mean aren’t we Derry talking about paradise on earth, that single one we’re all dying to get to and can only be realized by the seed of Jesse? Actually May I believe in paradise on earth and the son of Jesse as you say, will bring it to us, yeah well when you find it please inform me. Actually May, her name was Monique, we were to name our first son Deserk Jr. and our first daughter Angelic, hence Angelica. I’d taken a leave this particular day,” standing with his back to the wall at telling his deepest, darkest, most harrowing secret. “I’d visited and placed an order at the local jewelry store months in advance, the May most stunning engagement ring. I’d meet Monique, Moe, for short, only nine months prior, she was still in basic training, but was now a little more advanced. We met May and hit it right off. I’m not just being condescending when I say she really remind me of you, not your beauty per say, but who can compare to that, right? No, it was Moe's heart, she had the most genuine heart, the kind May you could trust for life you know, loved and I’d not been able to feel that way about anyone, but, ah, you know. They’re on the mantle behind you, tissues, thank you. Anyway, I was only a few minutes from the base when I received word, ah, something had gone horribly wrong at basic that day, that someone had fallen, broken their neck in three places. Dare, ah God please don't tell me that. you know those feelings you get when you hear something like that and you just know it’s your loved one. Well May for some reason I didn’t get that message, I didn’t have a clue until I got into my place, cut on the news and there it was. A tragic accident claiming one of America's hopefuls, a gross negligence had caused one cadet's life, a Felicity Monique Bradshaw, leaving two others injured. You want to know May what was the weirdest, most eerie thing of all? Being at her place, seeing how or imaging her last hours here on earth, how she’d laid out that particular day with complete hope in a tomorrow that didn’t come. Desrek, no!” Springing up, off was this, this heinous admission simply something that had to be, if he break the ice here with her, telling others, well he hoped. "Let me Maaseiah do this, I haven’t done this with anyone, let me at least do it with you. Of course being in the military, and having gone on some pretty dangerous, deadly missions, seeing many of my fellow Marines maimed and killed. Then there's May, what I had to endure with Ronda, but I’ve never felt pain, I don’t know an agonizing bewilderment, a, hollowness. There’s no way Deserk you’re to describe it, there are no words in mankind’s varied vocabularies that’s to give explicit clearance to what you felt. This terror in its purest form, and it's steeping, stripping, gnawing helplessness, Jesus Psalms 22 cross of unspeakable affliction to mental abandonment. I was packing seemingly only moments later, I was leaving May, like you I was headed home to Jamaica, to momma I guess. You know, just before I was detoured to here, I hate May thinking of it this way but you and Ronda’s tragic ordeal kinda saved me, steered me a better sense of aware of it, I don’t know, reiterated some perspective I guess. I just don’t know why her, and May whether our plans to marry and like so produce a family was that targeting her so vulgarly, so violently, you know? Yes Dare, what if she’d never meet you, or Mike, I, did our foolish, selfish ways, even rebellious marriage beds cause them their lives? Yeah, I do know, sadly, truly I know, anyway, that May, everything Moe and I planned was my, even our attempt at paradise on earth, only strayed a bit from his plan I guess. Do you Dare mock me? Ah, is that Maaseiah Adonai what tearing myself to pieces was, just now? Thanks, Dare, that you’re to find me worthy, thanks May, that you’re finally this close, this reachable, touchable. So, look, enjoy your chocolate, thanks, still Desrek, I think you should tell Ronda, even Soledad, they know it's something with you, Ron said it, they just can't put their finger on it exactly. Like I said, enjoy and please don't leave without saying, you know, okay, please love trust me better than that. I promise, better yet, why don't you come too, aren't we both Dare, gone around in a circle, coasting it misty, maze tragically, bound for Jamaica together? Actually May, I'm just here to talk you into staying, family love and need you right here, don't want to even imagine being anywhere without you, so think about all that flawless temptress, and I'll be here in the morning in time for breakfast, oh, and your answer!"
...WHICH I HAVE LAID UP FOR THEE...
SCENE XX
"I Don't understand Spirit, what am I looking at here? Look, the date, the time, that Tifny is there, then I ask still brother, what is this? This can't be possible, but this is, it not fixed, it from person Erka, like that, ..no, no, that's not," overcome with aching, burning emotions but what he was seeing, what Spirit was saying, he couldn't believe they were fooling him this way. "Mill, Mill my god you gotta see this, what my, this, Tifny and Erica, her photo friend send this, I don't understand, exactly, they doctored a photo? No, sis Milla, no doctor, come from photo like that, may I? That's, that's, you're saying Spirit this is real? Yes, Tifny sent it, shocked as can be, Erka camera too, shocked, there are pictures here Nadia they took while Christian was at the center the other day, he have no scars. What? Yeah, look, you look like the day you got married, I'll call her, this is too hoodwink, and she's a part of it, but no, not at all,. So they say this is real? Yes, Nadia, so they say, then it's a sign, I told you, like Job, you Cros, us, we are being restored and even better, and my beloved even better. It's blessed hope, a miracle even, my brothers and sisters Christian, it's a miracle. Now you have to do the surgery, Holy Lords Cros are showing they're with you, in agreement, I guess so Mills, I guess so, there's nothing else it could ever be, I guess so." >>>The style, the glamour, the vava-voom, is here, gleefully shaking her head at both reading and enjoying another's of Corronda's creative articles. The one thing frightening Susan Faye was that somebody with big bucks would try and steal her away. Corronda’s work as usual was simply enthralling, the words, the passion, the creative thought, she was fabulous. No doubt was it Susan’s main goal to get her more money, that her salary wouldn't plunged far beneath her special gift and un-expendable value to the company. “{{{Hey babe, this is Sissy returning your call, I’m free for lunch if its at all possible with you, call me, huh?”}}} {{{"Tiffany Saurus here," Tifny, yes, hello, Spirit, Cros, hello, hel," hearing in her ear a blunt disturbance, a myriad of it, still knowing that voice, or those voices, trying again, .hello, Cros, Spirit? Is this real, you don't play such games Tifny, these pictures, Erica's pictures, this is real? Yes Christian, my god, they are real, we're heads and hearts, blown ourselves, me, Sissy, Erica and others, it's all real Christian, it's all real! Erica who'd already named it, then mystery walks in before she seen them, of course now, the Phantom Walk. Erica has Christian examined and taken her camera apart plenty trying to figure it, but there it is Christian, the evidence is in your hand, and we just as innocent. I even had spirit to send me pictures before the accident for verification, they look identical, Camilla said it's proof that as the days of Job, God is restoring us and more, I took that to mean, all of us Maaseiah, you as well. Perfect analogy, seeing Job's faithfulness Christian was counted to him as righteousness, and God blessed him phenomenally well. I didn't think Camilla had it in her, but yes, that's a perfect analogy. So this is a sign to continue on the setting I'm on, even you beloved, you think? That's Christian exactly what it mean, as you say, the setting I am on as well, I guess, we're all on, the future only now. Only right now, trust it, trust God, trust you beloved Maaseiah, keep holding my hand huh? The same here Christian, keep hold my hand, or I perish, or beloved Christian Cros, holy God's of lord Israel, I perish, we Maaseiah Adonai, perish, lest we stand, hold on."
... O MY BELOVED NEW AND OLD...
SCENE XXI
"My god Desrek, where are you tonight? I’m going home to Germany, no Jamaica ,” chopping concerningly into a prime meal going cold, just the two of them and all the work that went in going down the drain with it. “I’m to help mom and dad with the place, the store there, put myself to good use the community centers I guess. You know Derry, I’ve had intent of asking you about your plans to make a career out of the military? Something happen Ronda,” readying his tea glass did he sniff and cough, clear away emotional tensions. “Something really bad, something like, something I haven’t been able to talk about until now, the names Monique and Angelica Ron weren’t just figments of my imagination. Well, I guess not so much at the time, Monique was the name of my intended bride. Of your intended bride? What are, Angelica Ronda was the name of my supposedly first born daughter. What on earth Derry, perhaps a major, major injustice or a major misjudgment on both of our parts, Maaseiah and I both, even as far back as her mettlesome dad. I’m sorry brother, but you’re not making sense, she felled, she was performing a climb, nothing at all unusual, a demonstration Ron for newbies, when something went horribly wrong. When she felled she broke her neck in several places killing her instantly. Ah my god Derry, why didn’t you tell someone? I was bringing her Ron to introduce her to you as my bride, my twenty fifth birthday was that weekend, as so it was Monique and I wedding date, then by a horrid twist of fate Ron not only was Monique suddenly gone, but you were in the hospital near death; with Maaseiah running and hiding for her life. Suddenly every facet of my life was under some significant violation or another, so I packed and got here as soon as possible. Since, I planned to ask May to Jamaica with me, actually she made me the offer nights past. Don't fret, no don't fret, I think I talked her out of it, us Ron, I think I talked us out of it, I'll know during breakfast in the morning? I thought Tif had her own plans, France for example, yeah but most of those plans Ronda as you thought are completely without merit. You just lost your fiancé Derry, how much merit can you bring to Tif’s dwindling situation? Who Ronda in total likeness just lost her fiancee as well, even that she had in this Nicholas character, not believing in coincidence is that Ron, not a sign? But as I said, I'm convinced I talked her off burning bridge into trusting more in what she's building here. So what did you and Dex decide? Sorry Desrek brother about all that, my Dare, my own more sweet secret to tell, Dex and I married two nights ago, and you have the nerve Ron, no Mrs .Dexter Leon to question my motives? I know, Erica, ah, Tip's friend did it, left one day single, come back married, and I thought how perfect, I didn't want any spotlights either. Dex and I just didn’t want to wait any longer, knowing you, you think Ronda I didn’t feel that way with Monique, that whatever limited time we had on this earth we needed to spend it together as husband and wife? I’m so hurt, so sorry Derry, but the answer to our questions about Tif, is no, I still doubt very seriously she will abandon her faithfulness to Nicholas, New York or Jamaica. What they are now Derry, isn't just words any more, they've shared blood, for them both a marriage bed, so to her Derry, no matter where she run, no matter how far, again they are married. Yes, I know, I try to throw it off, but I can't, I know how sacred this is to Maaseiah, and thus this man of hers, I've always known. I know there is no way Ron she would've given herself, except by a spirit, heart, blood covenant even if this Nicholas has yet to realize it. This wedge Derry, hewn between them isn't completely unheard of, all relationships have their problems, these on again, off again spats. Yeah Ronda, that roller-coaster syndrome I like to say, there’ll be someone else, don’t roll those Desrek Chocolate eyes at me, I know it’s not what you want to hear, but like Sole's intended sister-in-law, Kiefer Bay, and yes sir, I see the way she look at you, admire you, but so do you, Derry admire her. I don’t want there to be someone other than Monique Ron, ..you mean unless it's Tif, right? Why couldn’t he simply loan me this single grace, my decision, my choice? Or do we Ron really have a choice or it is all predestined down to a particular person, as is time, fate, as is Maaseiah Adonai? Only Derry for some, you know, many called, but few chosen, this is a curse, decide how you gonna spend it, none exempt. I believe Derry like Tif said those chosen lives are repeatedly interfered upon by supreme gods, sometime Derry even violently, then by choosing her, or by her Ron choosing me caused her, her life. A deadly accident Dare, caused her, her life, still, you know that’s what you're saying? Perhaps Derry perhaps not, you see here, right here at this moment Derry is our opportunity to comprehend fully a mirror reflection that’s both light and dark, that’s both luminous and illusive and there’s nothing but faith, hope and love that’s to truly be done. I have this stunning, inconceivable ring on my finger, one of the most handsome, darling men this planet on my arm, in our marriage bed, but Derry, for how long? This is all borrowed time, paradise on earth come and goes as random as the wind, ah, you sound like Tiffany, like Tiffany or Derry, your Maaseiah? Our Ron Maaseiah, I guess I Ron like millions around the globe just want the pain to stop, the agonizing desolation, she will not expect me to be here, and yes, I said something similar to Maaseiah as you call her. It was from my unthinkably horrid hospital bed, though I was home, what she said, without even thinking, was, just like the supreme heard the cries of Israel in Egypt, he hear the cries of all nations around the world, has set aside the leaves from the tree of life for especial healing. That Derry just like he heard the mournful laments of Sodom and Gomorrah he hear the cries of all wailing walls on this planet, that he’s coming. He may not come when we want, may not come on time, still Derry he haven't forsaken us forever, all power is in his hands, when he does come. Yeah, sis,” brushing at that stinging hers, his nostril to spills, her eyes, his cheeks, a single tear that’s to design, dark, smooth artist features. “That sound just like May alright, a pure, sustaining hope in the land of hopelessness, Maaseiah Adonai, I no longer Derry concern myself with where she come from, but where she's going after all of this mess. I wanna go there too, you and me both Mrs. Stuart, you and me, both, all Dare so you can't, won't follow, and Ron shepherding it's separation, I'm slipping out the back, I'm not gonna tell, okayyy, see you later.”
...O THAT THY WERT AS MY BROTHER THAT SUCK THE BREAST OF MY MOTHER...
SCENE XXII
"Look who's that new guy in the salon with Keetes? Tall, dark, unspeakably handsome, with the most unspeakable grey eyes ever to see, edible dimples to fit, you know the type, want the type, that’s Anthony. Anthony? Actually Wren, Tony Decorte, The Tony Decorte? What? You guys didn't tell me we had the world renown Decorte working here, ah my, you think y'all drawing crowds right now. I know, but he's Wren suffering from a head injury that caused acute amnesia, so he's keeping a low profile, trying to come back. Wow, Sissy, you guys, I saw him on a talk show a while back, he was incredible, love at first sight for millions of women. You know I thought he looked familiar, man I would love to have him do swim-wear with Vincent, we did talk Nicoli from behind his camera, perhaps he's to break from those scissors. Yeah heated ladies all, but didn't he get in trouble, something about rape and murder? He was totally exonerated a couple of months ago, now that I didn't know, but it explains why he disappeared from the public eye, yeah, DNA testing and a well sort after confession from the real murderer, he was completely vindicated. So you Ash, know him pretty well right? She ought to Lisa, that's her husband three years now, Ash, why didn't you say? Because I knew one of the ladies here would come to my defense, thanks Sissy, please stop that, you can't sing, not even a little. If you want somebody to sing that bad Wren, ask miss Saurus, ask Tip, right Erica? Yes, certainly, she sings like a professional, hey, I found out just last night ladies Corranda is no longer an Aggart, she’s a Mrs. Stuart, apparently she and Dexter Stuart married a few evening ago. Okay look, and kinda scary as hell, is marriage getting contagious around here, are those group hugs possessing us? I mean y'all admit it, it seem like it's catching, catch me marriage angel, I am available, I would love me a Dissuasion man, how about that Desrek Chocolate, isn't he single? And be in competition with Miss Saurus, I'm not that insane, girl, better be off..I did a candlelight vigil about him last night, locking him down, he's mine, he just doesn't know it, ouuuu Ty girl, scared of you too I guess, putting spells on people." >>>"So how did things go with Sye and Nickie? He told Sye he screwed things up so bad, he's too much of a coward now to face her, too embarrassed to admit his failure. Even that he'll be staying in Paris indefinitely, I knew something went wrong with Tip the other night, what is wrong with him anyway, he didn't let fame go to his head did he, his heart? It’s hard Erica to say but Tip is as you described devastated, well isn’t it better to learn his staying power now, than to marry him and then have him wimpout so severely? Good morning Mrs, Stuart congratulations, thanks you all, to all well wishes, I'm here Erica because I thought we had seven prints to work with, and I only have five. There's two I have to past by Tip, get them to you later, okee, okee, see yo guys later, married huh? Yeah I can't believe it but I followed you guys lead, especially you Erica Lynn, I may write that down Ron and have you sign it, I know right, later guys." >>>"Of course you’re right Ash, I mean I can hardly believe we knew Nicholas and loved him at all. Yes Erica but who do we really know? Ah brilliant, pitifully Ash, Nicholas Coogan, who's so, so, breaking my heart. Anyway, I think I'm gonna use my lunch to take a nap, a seven year old, don't be fooled, is a handful too. Just saying, ladies, live long enough, get this life knocked completely out of you and the one helping to pick up the pieces continually is the one, that's whether we’ve appreciated them or not. So Sissy does this mean she haven’t changed her mind about leaving? I can only Erica like you hope, I mean please god don't let us have to even imagined our lives, this center without her, let alone actually suffer it. And what about this Desrek person? To be honest with you Ash after losing her first love and now with Nicholas Coogan having flown so far south of Tip being north honestly, there isn’t another man on this earth that’s to stand a chance. Agree, I'm beginning to think, not even the insatiable doll Desrek Alum Aggart is, and believe me Sissy, I was here while he shot the Desrek Chocolate ad, and he's literally, Nicholas Coogan insatiable, literally Sissy. Oh, oh and when I told Tip, she said, I know, stand in line, I been in love with Desrek Alum all my life. N'all she didn't! Yes, Sosh she did, now go, go get rest before that stunning, Knight husband of yours come seeking, sweeping after his beloved, you know he will, something else he and brother Nicholas have in common, later ladies, yeah sweet dreams."
