Dancing in The City

Alone, is what I felt sitting at a corner table in the club. I can’t even believe I agreed to come here. If I didn’t feel so grateful to Melinda for taking me in, I would have gone home already. The bad thing about sitting alone meant it left me with my thoughts. I had wasted one year with Carlos. Finding out he had a wife and kids in Mexico was devastating. It didn’t help to live in a small town, where everyone knew everyone’s business. I was barely out of college and already labeled the town whore. I shivered thinking about when the small petite woman showed up on his doorstep, with a small child in her arms. I assumed it was a family member, but the look on Carlo’s face as he came down the stairs said it all. I didn’t understand a lot of Spanish but could speak it enough to know he tried to tell her I was the cleaning lady. It didn’t take l

Job in The City

I mostly spent The last few days unpacking. I hated unpacking things. I was at the bottom of the last box when I saw the blue photo album. Sighing, I opened it as the memory of my hometown and all I left behind came flooding back. A picture of my parents holding me when I was a baby caught my attention, and I angrily turned the page. I couldn’t believe they would treat me this way. I was barely twenty-two and already disowned for something, not my fault. They even had my money froze, even though technically they had no control over it. My Grandfather did until I was twenty-five or married. I still hadn’t heard from him and was worrying. I picked up the phone and tried his number one more time.“Hello,” My Grandfather’s rusty voice came through the line surprising me.“Gramps, it’s me Gabby.” I breathed a sigh of relief. “Dear I know your voice; I was just getting

Raul In The City

Raul POV “Daddy, can we get some Ice Cream?”“Sure sweety,” It was going on five when we came out of McDonald's, and her mother was already a half-hour late.I dialed her number again and after the third ring a man’s voice picked up, “Is there some reason you keep calling my wife’s phone?”“There is. She is late to pick up our daughter, again.” Who the hell did this asshole think he was, anyway?“I will let her know,” Before I could reply he hung up on me.I picked up Mariella and carried her to the car. Once I had her buckled in safely in her booster, I map quested the nearest Ice Cream Parlor. There was one less than a mile away.“Daddy’s going to be right here outside the car. I need to find where we will get some Ice Cream.” I needed to call her mother b

Mistakes In The City

What Luck! I can’t believe that jerk is my new boss. I needed to get out of here and quick. I grabbed my purse off the desk and headed towards Mr. Donovan’s office. The walk was silent, with only the sound of my new heels clicking. Reaching the door, I took a deep breath and knocked.“Come in,” His cheerful voice carried through the mahogany door from the other side. I guess he wouldn’t be cheerful for long, I thought as I opened the door. “How’s your first day going?”“That’s why I’m here,” I gulped. He stopped typing and turned his full attention to me.“You look rather pale. Are you sick today?” He asked.“I can’t work here, I’m sorry,” I blurted.“I Don’t understand. Are you going back home or something?”Before I could answer the door slammed open bringing the smell of Raul’s cologne with it as it hi
