Side project recent update.

As of today I'm 7 chapters in, characters have mostly all been defined, name picked and have someone editing as we speak. This is a dream coming true for me. I began writing this little novel about 6 years ago when life wasn't great. After suffering from writer's block, (which lasted about 2 years) I'm happy to be doing something I enjoy. And so excited to see it come into fruition.

Here's the latest tidbit. Enjoy!!

After about another our Alix and I were done and famished. We decided to have lunch at the nearby bistro. The soups and sandwiches were amazing. We placed our order, took the pager and sat down at a both waiting patiently for our meals. I pulled my phone out of my purse and stared at the text messages from Grayson.

6:48am
Good morning lovely. J

7:25am
Are you feeling all right? Didn’t see you this morning.

8:30am
Just left your classroom and there’s a sub. Everything all right?

9:04am
Hello?

10:22am
Guess you don’t want to talk. I meant what I said, not going anywhere. Talk later?
11:20am
Just asked Ellie. She hasn’t heard from you either. L


I took a deep breath and responded.

12:52pm
Hey! Just saw your messages. Took the day to collect my thoughts.
Still alive lol.

He responded instantaneously.

12:52pm
Good to know lol.
Had me worried.
Will I see you later?

My eyes opened in shock. He wanted to see me but I couldn’t fathom why. Alix saw my expression and asked, “What happened?”

“He wants to see me tonight. Why?” I looked at Alix perplexed. It didn’t make any sense.
“Well mija, I don’t know what to tell you. Its up to you if you want to see him tonight.” She replied matter-of-factly.
“I do and don’t.” I looked back down at my phone.
“How about you take the rest of today and the weekend, don’t see him and honestly give yourself the time to think thoroughly about he conundrum you in.” Her suggestion was in conjunction with my thoughts.


12:56pm
Can’t today. Going to dinner with my best friend tonight.

12:56pm
Tomorrow? I’m free all day
12:57pm
Can’t either L
Going out with some friends.
12:58pm
