“Sophia you need to come here” My father hollers up the stairs. I smile at the door knowing that if I don’t go down there he will come up here to get me. He can’t stay mad at me. It’s like I’m the apple of his eye. Some say that he spoils me rotten. Others just roll their eyes and walk away. I get up off the floor and head downstairs running into someone on the stairs.
“Watch where you’re going.” A deep voice says holding me close to their chest as they had caught me before I fell. “A lady shouldn’t be running around.” I sigh and pull myself out of their arms.
“Well, maybe you should watch where you’re going. I can do whatever I want to do as I live here.” I say as sweetly as I can. I look him up and down. I’ve never seen him around this part of town. “Well, my father called for me, So I should be going. Thank you for making sure I didn’t fall” I curtsy and try to step around him.
“Oh, your Sophia.” He says as he stops me from going down the stairs. “I was sent to come and bring you downstairs.” He says, lacing his arm through mine with a smile on his face. “Ready?” He asks all business like. I look down at the ground and roll my eyes.
“Yes, sir.” Two can play at this game. The smile disappears from his face as we head downstairs. As we get close to the bottom of the stairs I hear my father.
“Well, there isn’t any screaming coming from upstairs. So, things must be going well.” He sounds so hopeful and that takes all the wind from my sails. There have been a lot of gentlemen coming and going here. They are trying to ask my father for my hand but I keep scaring them off. I’m not ready to get married and leave my father but I guess, I’m not going to like what is about to happen. I stop and look up at this man as I take a deep breath.
“Are you ready for this?” I ask quietly. He stares at me before taking a deep breath.
“I can handle anything you want to throw at me. So, I’m not the one you should be asking that question to. Are you ready?” he asks, keeping his arm throw my arm. I stare at him as a tear falls down my face.
“I’m not ready for any of this. But it’s something I have to do.” I say as I lead him into the parlor. “Hello Father,” I say as sweetly as I can. I hold myself up and remove my arm from this young man’s arm. I extend my hand to the older gentleman sitting in the chair next to the couch. “Hello, Sir.” The man takes my hand and kisses the back of my hand.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He says. “My name is Justin McCain; this is my son Alec McCain.” He gestures to the young man that came up to get me.
I curtsy “Welcome to our home.” As I take my seat next to my dad. “How can we help you today?” I ask.
Mr. McCain takes a deep breath but before he can say anything his son speaks up “Do you want honesty or sugar and spice?” His father looks at him shocked.
“Honesty is preferred, but if sugar and spice is better for you, then sugar and spice,” I say making both his father and mine look at me.
“Well, My father wants me to marry you but after meeting you. I don’t know if I truly want someone like you as my wife.” He says making his dad’s face turn red most likely with anger.
“Well, after meeting you, I don’t think you would be able to handle me and honestly I would be the best thing for you,” I say hiding my smile behind my fan. My father looks at me with his sad eyes making me feel like shit.
“You are right about one thing. I would never be able to handle you, but I don’t want to handle you. I want you to be by my side.” He says making everyone look at him. “You are a spitfire. You know what you want out of life and you are not willing to settle for anything less. That’s what I want in a wife.” I stare at him.
“Wait, you want me to marry you?”
“Yes.”
“Okay,” I state making my father’s head wipe towards me.
“Just like that?” My father says.
“Yes, father. Just like that.” I say.
Write about someone on a boat
I’m going to break this down into three parts because I got interputed twice while I was writing from this prompt.
I sit there stairing at the box, there is a necklace I think the necklace is made from gold with white gold clasps. I picked it up very gently, it looks real. I knew that his father had money but I didn’t know it was this kind of money.
“Did you’re dad give this to your mom?”
“Yes he did.”
“It has her name on it that is why I asked.”
“Yeah my dad told me it did but I couldn’t find it. Where is her name on it?”
“It is in the part that holds the necklace together. See here it is.” As I point to it I leans over to show him.
“Oh. I never thought to look there. I got to give it to my dad he was smart to put it there.”
“It is a really smart to put it there.” I see him moving around like he wanted to do something. So, I asked “how bout we get out and you put it on me?”
“Okay. Jade, you know I love you so so much.”
“I love you too, Jason”
“So, are you hungry?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Lets go eat.” We go inside and it is painted the same as outside. I oddly feel like I am home, which to me is a really good thing. There is a women behind the counter.
“Jason? Is that you?”
“Yes it is! How are you doing, Miss Kathy? Where is Nicole and Justin?”
“They are around here some…who is this you are with?”
“It is my girlfriend!”
“WHY IS SHE WEARING YOU’RE MOTHERS NECKLACE?” she yelled and she sounded scared at the same time mad.
“She is wearing it because I gave it to her and brought her here on my mom’s orders, she said ‘Bing the girl you want to marry here and see if my best friend likes her because she was like a mother to you and that is the lest you could do for her.’ And she said ‘give this to the girl I plan to marry’ that is why she has it on. So if you want to yell please don’t do it in front of her. She is that one that I will be with for the rest of my life.”
“JASON!” A kid that looks about thirteen years old comes out of nowhere and runs up to him, and behind her comes a boy that looks his age.
“Nicole it is nice to see your smile face. Justin long time no see?”
“Yeah it has been how long again, about five years?”
“Justin is still bitter I see. I am sorry I just got myself to come down here. You know that my mom was down here everyday. So, when I come down here I think of her and start to…” cry is what I think he was going to say because there are tears rolling down his face.
“So, I hear you guys have the best food all around.” I say to try to get everyone in a batter mood.
“Oh my god is the jade?” Justin says
“Yes it is.”
“I think she is more sexy than you led on in the letters.” I could see Jason getting mad, “So you made her yours, finally?”
“Yes I did make her mine” he pulls me in closer to him. “So how girls have you had since the last time I seen you?”
“I would say about one. she has my child. we are living on our own.” Jason look really worried, “i am just here because i work here. so i see she has that necklace you said that you don’t think anyone would be good enough to wear it.”
“how old is the kid?” Jason asked
“His name is Carson and he is three years old.”
“I like his name.” i said trying to make light of all of this. “i want to meet him. is he the one little boy in this photo?”
“yes he is, my little grandson.” Kathy said
“he is so so cute.” i said “so I hear you guys have the best food all around?”
“Yes, we do” she says
“OK. can i have the top best one the menu?”
“soup or sandwiches?”
“soup!”
“OK. It will be ready in a few minutes. pick a set and i will bring to you.” she say. she looks at Jason a Little worried. “make sure you take care of this one, Jason. i like her”
“i knew you would like her. she try’s so hard for everyone around her to be at peace.” Jason looks from Kathy to Justin “so who is the girl?”
“You know her in the same way i know her. she is the that was you first time for everything.”
“i am glad you found you happiness with her, i just hope she found her happiness with her, you know why that ended right?”
“yeah, she cheated on you?”
“Yeah that is right.”
“do you do anything wrong when it comes to girls?”
“i try not to.”
“wow, where is the guy i knew that would take any risk that he wanted, pushed everyone’s buttons?” Justin
“He had to grow up.” Jason says
“He owns…” I start to say but Jason cuts me off
“maybe it was not right of me to bring her here without telling you in person but i didn’t think Justin was that bitter towards me.” i look at him when he was done I step away from him, and Justin comes up behind me and says “does he treat you the way you should be treated, Jade?”
“Yes he does! he is a sweet, caring and proactive of me.”
“Oh. He does? then why are you backing up way from him?” Justin says
“Because of you! you pissed him off, and i have never seen him this mad before today!” i say
“Justin leave her alone.” Jason says in the same tone he used with him brother. “she didn’t do anything to you.”
“No she didn’t,” he looks at me with a smile that makes me uneasy and scared.
“Can we please find a set and stop this before it turns into a fight.” i say to Jason
“Yes we can.” Jason says He puts his arm around me, and leads me past a picture. i stop to look at the picture and i see Miss Kathy and Jason, and i am going to guess that other women in the picture is his mom, I look around and see more pictures of everyone that works here. seeing those pictures makes me think of my past and my parents, i only seen pictures of them because they died two months after i was born, so i was put into foster care, and they never told me what happen to my parents they just gave me the pictures and told me that they do not know how they died but all they know is that they died. i grow up in so many homes i am not use to have people be around for a long time. And in one of them is seen again. Justin knows my past, he was a big part of it… “Jade are you okay?” Jason asks pulling me out of my thoughts.
“Yeah i am. why do you ask?”
“because there are tears running down your face” he says
“OH. There is tears” i say like i wasn’t doing anything beside looking at the pictures.
“Yeah” he wrapped his arms around me and it made me cry even more.
“we need to talk. Jason we really need to talk about my past.”
“what about? Jade is everything okay?” he said
“I mean tomorrow. we are having a heart time. I don’t want it to be about me right now. okay?” I say not wanting to talk about it now. he moves his arms and I head to the bathroom
“Jade! what’s up? long time no see!” Justin says
“Please don’t tell him anything yet. I need to talk to him about it yet. I need time before I talk to him!” I say, started to cry again.
“look you say the word and I will not come near you, Jade I love you. I alwaysed loved you!” Justin says that made me cry even more. he wrapped his arms around me and says into my ear “I am sorry I made you cry.”
I pull away and say “its okay. I am just not liking my past come flying in to play in my new life now! I am past my past but it came back in my face so quick to the point I could not hold my self together. that’s all. I want to hang out me and you, but not until after Jason knows about my past.” I say
So, it has crossed my mind that most people don’t know that I have a little Etsy shop. I sell random things I make there. Right now, I am only selling a PDF of a Scene Card template that I made. The main reason I made it is because I like outlining my scenes with main points before I write them. This pdf that I made makes it easier for me to do that. I wanted to share it with the world because What might help me might help you. I understand that it might not help anyone, but there is a chance that it’ll help someone if it makes it to them. I feel like I need to state this. I will make a little bit of money from each sale. As always, thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog; it means a lot to me. Have a beautiful and great day.
Write about someone on a boat
I will break this down into three parts because I got interrupted twice while writing from this prompt.
As we road back, it was way too silent for me, but I couldn’t say anything. When we got back, I started walking to my car after I said, “Goodbye, Jason. I will call you later tonight.”
Jason says, “I love you, Jade. Okay, call around six o’clock tonight, Okay?”
“Okay, that sounds great. I love you too, Jason.” I got to my car and got in. As I was about to shut my door, Jason came running up to my car, saying, “Wait, Jade, Please wait.” Why does he want me to wait? What’s going on? Now he is at my car door. He looks like he can’t breathe. So, I handed him the water bottle I had in my car because I was about to take my medicine, and I didn’t want him to see the new medicine I had been up on just yet. But now I guess he will now. “Save me some water, please.” he hands me the rest of the bottle. I put the medicine I have in the weekly med holder, put Sunday in my hand, and put them in my mouth.
“Hop out. I want to drive,” he says
“Why?”
“Because you have new medicine, and I want to drive.”
“Oh. Okay.” I get out of the driver’s seat, and we walk around to the side of the car. I reach for the handle, and he grabs it before I can. He opens the door for me. After I get buckled in, he shuts the door and walks to the front of the car so I can see him, and he hops in the driver’s side and says, “Ready to go?”
“What about your car?”
“My little brother is driving it home.”
“Oh. I guess I am ready,”
“Okay then.” He turns the car on and puts the radio to 97.9 WNCI. My favorite song, Same Love by Macklemore, is playing on the radio.
I start to sing along with the song, and Jason starts singing the guy’s part as I sing the girl’s part.
As we pull out of the parking lot, the song ends. He turns down the radio and asks, “Where do you want to go out to eat? I am paying this time because I am the one asking.” He looks over at me and smiles, and then his eyes are back on the road where I would like his eyes to stay.
“Is your brother meeting us there?”
“No! Why?”
“Because he likes sexist jokes.”
“Oh. Okay. Well, do you want to go out to eat with me, or do you want me to take you home and call my brother to come and pick me up?”
“Yes, I want to go out with just you. Where do you want to go out to eat?”
“You will find out when we get there.”
“Wait, didn’t you just ask me?”
“Yes, but I changed my mind.”
“Okay, do I need to change my outfit?”
“No. You look sexy in that outfit. Also, it’s not somewhere fancy.” I turn the music up again so we can listen to it again. The song that is on is Red by Taylor Swift. I sing along with it, and Jason looks like he doesn’t know what to say to me, knowing all the words to this song. I think it is funny. It takes about one hour to get to wherever we are going. Outside, near the road, is a sign that says home dinner. The place is painted blue with a red roof, and the front door is green. That just makes me wonder how he found this place so far out away from the city. “It’s a little dinner, but they have great food. How would I know that is what you are thinking, right?”
“Yeah. How do you know of this place?”
“This was my mom’s favorite dinner before she passed away about five years ago. She died from lung cancer, and to top it off, she didn’t even smoke. I have not been back here since she died. Her best friend owns the place now. My mom helped her make the payments on the place until it was paid off. It was paid off one year before she died. She told me to ‘Bing the girl you want to marry and see if her best friend likes her because she was like a mother to you and that is the least you could do for her.’ she also said to give this to the girl I plan to marry.” he hands me the box “don’t open it till I am done please.”
“Okay, I will wait”
“She said it is okay if it is two different people you want or plan to marry as long as one gets both of these, and you are the first I have wanted to marry and plan to marry. You are the first one I have ever talked to about my mom’s death and the first I brought here. Also, you are the first and only one that is getting what is in that box.”
“Can I open it now?”
“Yes, you can” I take a minute to examine the little black box. The box’s size is about one inch by one inch. I slowly open the box.
