A Reflection On My Life

From across the room, I felt his eyes upon me. Louis had us seated at a table near a window overlooking the slow flowing muddy river. Myles Laveau sat across the room, his dinner companion’s back was toward the room and to me- I was seething with a need to view her face. Why was I feeling this way, he was not mine… I had no right to be angry. I had Louis to my left and Boudreaux to my right, but wanted what was out of reach- at least for the moment. I knew I could have him again; Myles Laveau affected me the same way the flame-haired woman had, but unlike her, he made himself available. The simplest touch from him sent quivers through my pleasure place; just the touch of his eyes upon me had me quivering with desire for him, and

Jake’s eyes darted from one relative to the other. “Gentlemen, any notion you have about a relationship between me and Miss Collins is a simple misunderstanding.”

Lines of worry appear all over his face. “I should know you,” he whispers back. “I should know who you are. I…My arm was around you when I woke up. I remember you smiling,

“I’m sorry, love. I got carried away.” said Josiah. His hand slips to my stomach, gently rubbing along the horizontal midline of my swollen belly. He brushes a kiss against my lips and opens the door for us.

“You haven’t seen anything yet,” Derek said with a smirk on his face. Together we walked through the long hall and made small talk. I found that the more time I spent with him, the more I began to trust him.

“The wise Joan strikes again.” He drew her into a hug. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

“I thought I would never see you again!” She exclaimed, her voice bright. And suddenly I watch her eyes fill with tears disconnecting her gaze by putting her pale hands to her face.

Riley stares at the woman in front of her with almost childlike awe, soaking in her features. “Hello,” she responds, her voice delicate.

Daniel stopped for a moment and looked longingly at me with his captivating, blue eyes. His lips twitched into an elated smile and replied “I’ve felt that way from the moment I laid eyes on you.”

As we walk, there is no chatter like I had thought there would be. My shoulders slump after a while, realizing that she isn't going to bust into a long speech about Laura or--him. Lord only knows that I cannot handle that at the moment.

"I see his plan failing the moment you walk in the door," she said looking at me. "That boy is in love with you. When you love someone all sanity just oozes out of your ears." She laughed looking at Seamus.

Brian waited until Leonardo disappeared before beginning his tirade. “What the fuck was that all about? What is happening tomorrow?” “He invited me to his vineyard and since you are so busy with business, I accepted his invitation.” “You should have asked me first. We are in a relationship. You should not be spending time with another man.” “And I guess you thought spending an afternoon with Ms. Bimbo was OK. You are a real piece of work. You know that?” I said slowly.

Over the last several days, in preparation for this paper and my upcoming interviews, I have done quite a bit of reflection into myself. I have examined carefully the experiences I have had in all areas of my life, namely in a professional setting, within my educational background, and amidst my personal life. I have scrupulously singled out the most prominent and valuable strengths I have, as well as the challenges which impede me the most and are in need of the greatest amount of improvement. Finally, after much consideration, I have established a range of goals of which I plan to reach successfully by the termination of my chosen internship.

“Well, I can't say the feelings mutual between me and John. Especially when he's acting like this. As for Angelo, he's dating someone.”

“I thought that we’d end up meeting in the club again – I didn’t honestly think that you’d contact me.” said Lorenzo, with a cute smile on his face, revealing dimples on his pale cheeks. “Do you think this low of yourself?” she teased.
