Summary:

Always the odd woman out, Keisha Barrett, for once wanted to be the woman on the arm of the man of every woman's dreams.  Who knew a lunch date with her girlfriends could hold the answer to her dreams.

Ethan Carrington, British international businessman and confirmed bachelor, was tired of the lifestyle he had been living. Expensive cars, trendy night clubs, leggy models/actresses, and gold diggers were the norm until the day her meet her...

(shaking head & tsk-tsking in disbelief) So, you're not good with fluff, huh? WRONG!!

This was so beautiful!!

First, what an absolutely perfect setting for a reunion. Paris in a suite with all the perks and a breath-taking view.

Second, I loved that Sunny spent time just talking to Nicholai rather than the expect rush into each other's arms, tear clothes off, etc. And who else would come up with the cocoa butter treatment? If that didn't scream LOVE. I LOVE YOU.

Third, I did hold my breath a bit, waiting for the words. A little. But Sunny seems more entuned to showing Nikki, telling him without actually using those three little potent, often misused words.   

I was moved by Nicholai's interactions with the business associate still mired in the seedier side of the business. He bristled with distaste, perhaps as much embarrassment as he is capable of, to be reminded of the earlier, brutal and dark version of himself.

Someone speculated a while back whether Nicholai would/could go legit in order to be with Sunny. I'm now wondering the same thing.

Sunny is so spectacular with and to Nikki and her devotion, contrasted with his doubts about being worthy is so touching. What would either sacrifice to keep this??

And of course there was THE reunion. These two sizzle whereever they are. But again, that has never been their problem.

Great work!!! Can't wait for part 2.

Hmmm... Wonder-freak-in'-ful! Nothing like the miserable curses of the world spreading their poison like the persistent viruses that they are.

Darla gets no credit from me. Gee, didn't she sound a little envious when she told how she got tossed on her ass on May 19th?? How Nicholai treated her compared to Sunny? I believe tha she was a bitch to Priscilla and the staff. Didn't come from shit but had a nasty attitude and a measure of self-importance just because she was a bed-warmer. I doubt her alturism in attempting to open Sunny's eyes and save her.

I'm neither condoning nor excusing his behavior or actions, even his twisted mindset, BUT I believe Nicholai was still at that cold, mean, desperate stage when he did these things. Desperation, hate, and malice lead people to extremes from which they cannot step back onto the safety of solid ground of reason. Sunny knows this. This is part of her capacity to forgive and accept, maintain fate in the flawed people she holds dear to her heart.

Then again, Nicholai has been a hot mess since he realized that he loves Sunny and wants a future wih her. The man is a nervous wreak with that damn black velvet box. The ensuing confrontation will be a deciding factor. Sunshine will get that huge shove out the door that she has been hesitating over.

If there is to be a future between Nicholai and Sunshine, it has to be based on a clean, fresh start.

Great stuff!!! I'm looking forward to the third song.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, Ominosity!!!

This is so late, but...

Sometimes I really believe that Nicholai and Sunshine are so in love with each other. Under "normal" or usual circumstances, his would be suc a sweet, beautiful love story between two unique, different people who seem to compliment each other if only by one being the other's bright light of goodness and hope.

However, we already know that that equation did not work for Jasmine and Jacob. Jasmine could not love the darkness out of Jacob's soul. All she did was bless him with two beautiful children, to whom he has brought pain, suffering and a misguided hopeful heart (Sunshine) and bitterness and hate (Benjamin) instead of changing to honor her or her memory.

I'm worried about exactly where Nicholai and Sunny will end up. Nicholai wants marriage. Sergei wans to wait for Sunny. What does Sunny want???

Sunshine definitely deserves better than to repeat her mother's life. She is smarter and better than that.

She definitely needs to keep her distance from her father. How in tarnations could he ever dream of cooking up another scheme with that mangy hood rat Peanut who ran off with the money and left him holding the bag last time???

But damn! Peter/Peanut stuck Jacob!! Wow!!! Just as he finally freaking gets it!!! ARG!!! For Sunny's sake, I hope he is okay. Peanut??? Peanut is as good as DEAD. In his twisted sense of justice, Nikki will track him down and eliminate him, just for causing Sunny pain.

What a chilling turn of events.

Luv, luiv, luv this story!!!!

On to the latest update!!!

Great start!!

I usually have issues with folks who throw their money and power around; but since Natasha has already shown that she is more than capable and willing to put and keep "just call me Angelo" Salvatore in his place; I'm certain I will enjoy their banter almost as much as I enjoyed "Dick" being sent scampering away like a cockroach.

Keep the chapters coming.

Thanks for sharing.

*** This story will be removed for editing in preparation for publication. ***

Kendra Dentaris is scared of her luck. At twenty-nine, she's the head graphic designer of a popular gaming website, the brand-new owner of a gorgeous downtown condo, and independent to the bone. And she may be in a relationship that's actually going somewhere. That's if Chase McGuire would stop cheating on her.

According to her best friend Prince, he's totally going to propose. That had to be why he invited her out to a remote village out in western Pennsylvania for the weekend. But Kendra takes a wrong turn and the life she knew before literally disappears.

Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 32

I've missed this story sooo much!! (claps wildly and squeals with joy.)

Everyone played their parts so well.

DeLeon resorted to every bit the Neanderthal Prince snidely thought him to be.

Prince was a bundle of anxious nerves and rich brattiness. 

Victoria was the nuturing mother hen to Ralph's voice of calm reason.

Tabby was the protective friend both ready to hug or to fight for her "Kenny."

But Pa saved the day. He showed up with impeccible timing and casual but calculated nonchalance bearing the perfect olive branch... home cookin' and cheap booze... and quelled the fires of discord.

Before the night is over Prince and his parents will be makng plans to build a country home nearby!!

Great chapter!!

Now, let's keep this rollin.'  :)

Oh, Lawdy.

So, where did DeLeon go, if not to Germantown? I feel like I missed something.

Interesting that they all believe that the end is near. I wonder if Kendra feels the same? 

LOL. Cat and Donald! What is it that Kendra has that sets all the men's hearts aflutter and brings other parts to attention but draws the pointy claws of most of the women???

I see a plot to chase Kenny outta town about to be hatched.

Thanks for the extra chapter.



Author's Response:

LoL you didn't miss anything; DeLeon just didn't go anyhere. hopped in his truck and took a ride so he didn't have to see first-hand Kendra disappear from his life once she had the phone back linking her to her past. he was sure she was goner.

thanks for reading!

Yay, an update!!

I don't have to stalk anymore.

Well, isn't Kendra as hapy as a clam with DeLeon. And she seems to fit right into the family. I loved Pa's reaction to the news. Then again, the three guys have all had little crushes on her.

There hasn't been any overt racism by anyone who wasn't upset about her and DeLeon; but I probably still wouldn't be comfortable in such a small, all-white town.

And bless Prince, Ralph and Victoria for their efforts to find Kendra. Their encounters have been a learning experience.

That Tabby is quick. Great cover up. lol What a dilemma they believe they've stumbled across. 

On to the next chapter.

Title: Chapter 1: At First

Ryan sounds like an abusive jerk.. reminds me of Serena's father, actually. Tobias repected and was mentored by him; but obviously the man didn't know shit about love, compassion, and honor.Tobias' loyalty and gratitude are clouding his better judgment. He'd prefer a "business arrangement" marriage than being with the woman he really loves and desires??

As tempting as it may be for Serena to give up on him, I think she should stick it out.

Please update again soon.

Senna is a control freak, not abusive like Matthew, but close.

Dude needs to chill... and get a clue. Contrary to his usually usual and unfortunately successful practice, he isn't going to win Evelyn over with all his aggressive, heavy-handedness. That fact will either quickly, or more likely slowly, creep into the recesses of his impatient brain especially once the depressed Evelyn shows up for work.

This story is sooo good... so much fun to read. I love the characters, plot, dialogue... everything.

I'm sending your muse jugs of nectar. I have been negligent in expressing my apprecation of his great talents.

This was an exciting chapter!!

Cooper and Aunt Mae are hilarious together and great protectors of Mo and Simon. I laughed out loud at their volley back and forth in defusing Amber.

"That skinny bitch lookin' to catch a beatdown after midnight." lol

On a serious note, Aunt Mae's realization that she may be responsble for Mo's inability to simply trust and say "yes" to Simon was touching.

I'm cheering for Simon to pull this off. He and Molli are great together besides being stunningly hot.

Keep those updates coming!!
