Quotes of the Drift by Jolynna Jean-Pierre (books to read in your 20s female .TXT) 📖

inside and ran upstairs. I didn't notice my fiance downstairs watching tv. Tony got up, and closed the front door, and headed upstairs. "hello", tony calls out. There was no response. The bedroom's door was open. Tony grabbed the nearest object,and looked around the bedroom. He heard the water runningin the bathroom. He opened the door and looked around. He slowly opened the shower door and saw me crying, lying on the shower floor.

Tony quickly turned off the water,and carried me off the floor. Tony quickly took my clothes off, and dried me off with a towel. He quickly grabbed a dry pair of pjs,undies,and socks. He dressed me,and carried me downstairs. He jumped into the kitchen,and quickly made me some dinner. He came to the dan with the food.He feed me, and gave me something to drink. I came out of nowhere,and started saying,"the last time, i seen my mother was when I handed her $25,000 outof my income check, which of course got slightly seperated between the kids". Tony looked at me. Then he said," how long ago was this?". I looked at him, and said,"it was about 4 years ago". Tony shook his head. I added on," then she had the nerve to die a week ago in the hospital." Tony stopped shaking his head. He slowly tried to hug me, and i looked at him as if he was disturbed. "Babe, what's wrong?",i asked, while whipping his tears from his face. He said,"My mother died 2 years from cancer,and the last thing she told me was that as she die, she wanted to die proud because she knows that i am happy." I hugged him tightly because i know that was a sad memory for him. Then suddenly, i had let go of him. Not the type that means i cant stand him,but the type that means how dare me act this way.The man's mother left earth 2 years ago and he still held strong,but mines just left a week ago and im acting like a baby. "I'm...im sorry for being this way",i said, while walking away from him. Tony stood up,and said something so strong that he felt from his heart, which was " when my mother told me to be happy, here i am happy with the one i love...with you." I stopped. "You don't mean that", i said. " Every word of it is true",he replied,"...and i love you." Then he added on,"Do you love me?" I froze. I'm thinking to myself...out of all themes why would he choose this scene to be the cheeses. "Yea..i love you but dont take it to the head."Say-ing that you love someone and actually be in love is two total opposites. I fell in love,and got hurt so many times, i can't even count,but in the end, love will find you. "We're getting married", tony shouted, which startled me a little. "Yes...yes, we are", i replied,"well, im gonna go to sleep". "Alright, see you honey", tony replied.

(thursday morning)

I woke up 10 minutes before the alarm rung. I did exactly what i did yesturday,but a little slower. I took my fiance's motorcycle today. The weather said it was going to be alittle bit chilly,but great later on. I arrive to work 20 minutes early today. To my surprise, adrian was in the office before i was. Adrain looked a little more anxious then yesturday. I wanted to ask what's wrong,but i didn't feel like talking. Never once did he explain to me, what was the exact reason of why he did what he did yesturday,and so i questioned him. "Why did you kiss me?", i asked. "Huh?",Adrain asked back. "I said why did you kiss me the way you did yesturday?, i repeated. Adrian paused from what he was doing,rubbed his beard,and then looked at me. Then said,"Because of 2 reasons...1: i wanted to, and 2: you needed it." Without thinking or speaking, i started walking toward the door. Adrian jumped up,and pleaded for me not to go. I stopped. I looked back at him,and started back to my desk. I got on my computer,and started checking my email, checking for anything new. I saw that I recieved an email. I was kind of nervous on whether i should or should not check my email. But knowing me, i try to be strong ,and opened it. There was a page with the background of hearts,and ther was a note on the page. I read the note, which says, "No matter what, you are always my baby, and i love you". My response was kind of kiddesh,which was a loud "awwwwwwww". I thought it was from tony,but then i saw the words "no matter what". I dont get it. I glanced at adrain,who was smiling at his computer screen. I quickly texted back, saying"very nice,but who is this?" He texted back saying,"look across the room". I looked,and saw adrian looking at me. I got up,and went towards his desk. I sat on the edge of his desk. I quickly said," I'm getting married within 7-8 months from now,and you dont love me, do yah?!" Adrian looked at me,and said," I loved you ever since i first layed eyes on you. You never noticed me but i noticed and took interest in you". Then it came to me. How could i be so stupid. Those 4 years, he was in law school in california, moved  down here after graduating, asked every law job site if i worked there,and once he found this one, he signed up immediately. "We can only be employees toward each other,im sorry...that's it...nothing more", i said, while heading for my desk. He jumped up,and said,"I do understand,but i dont care. You see...my passion for you is uncompariable to any ther person. I mean i would die for you. I know that somewhere deep inside of you..you are saying if i was single, i would being saying the same thing,aren't you?",adrian said, while coming towards me. I didn't answer because i knew that if i said something, he would only try to kiss me again. The thing is that people think i am sensative.

(ring...ring)

"Hello?",i answered. "Hey girl, its jessica",she said,"Hey girl, what are you doing later on today?" "Nothing really, why?", i responded. "How would you like to have a 1 day get-away?", jessica asked. " I would love it,Okay meet me at my house @ 5:50 because i'll be ready then",i responded, while packing my stuff in my purse. "Tay..t...ta,bye",jessica said. "La..le..la, bye", I responded, while hanging up. I quickly looked up. "What time is it?", i asked. " It's 7:42 am", why?", adrian asked. I quickly started to undress myself. I ran over adrain's desk,and scrabbled through the closet. I quickly grabbed my black laced dress and hat. I looked at adrain. Adrian122 was about to fall out his seat.

"Adrian...Adrian!", i said. Adrian quickly snapped out it. Adrian started saying," Were...were you just clothless?" "Yes, im rushing and so should you!", i yelled. "What im rushing for?", adrian said. I quickly put on the dress and started for the door. I pushed adrian out the office while grabbing my purse and keys. Becky was out in the front of the building. I loaded the motorcycle onto her car. Once I closed the door, Becky sped off. Becky looked at me,and then looked at adrian in the top mirror. And then she suddenly said something," So, why did you want to come with my sister?" Adrian was kind of out of words,but then he said,"I came to give your sister support in this sad time as her collige." Becky looked at me,and started smiling. " what are you smiling for?", i asked. Becky kept smiling. "what?!", i said, this time wanting to know eagerly. "You guys are so cute together, i mean instead of being engaged to a 27 year old, you have an adorible 25 year old man, right here! Now i'm 26 years old, Okay, i could take Tony and you could take adrain. Here's the ages: Charlette-24, adrian-25, me- 26, and tony-27. Do you hear what i am saying?",Becky said."What are trying to say?",i asked, while slick getting mad. "Now, you remember when you had to go somewhere,and you had asked me to to your place?", becky asked. "Okay...umm...yeah,but where?",i said. "To tony's game",becky said. "yeah, why?", i responded. "well,when i was there,tony kept looking at me smiling",becky said. "Okay, probably he was happy that you came", i said. "I dont think so", becky said. We arrived to the kingdom hall a few seconds before it had started. Adrain and i sat in the first row along with my brothers and sisters. Tony arrived a few seconds before me. I didnt notice tony at all until he held my hand so tight that i had let go of adrian's hand. I looked at him,but didnt dare look back at me. I whispered to him,"you're hurting me". He still didnt let go. I was getting frustrated because i hate being held on to. I started yanking my hand out of his. I yanked so hard that my hand sled right out of his,but my engagement ring slipped off my finger into his hand. I started rubbing my hands because they were finally free. Tony openned his hand. As soon as i saw the ring, i quickly grabbed the ring and slipped it right back on my finger.Then that was when he looked at me, and I didn't dare look at him, but instead I looked around. In the far roght in a corner, I saw DJ and his mom sitting together."The thing about Sister C. Jackson was that she loved Jehovah and his son, Jesus Christ. Before she died, she told me to pray for her children,and for jehovah to resolve their issues that they have love toward each other. Also, she wanted to tell her baby girl, Charlotte, that she loves her soo much,and the same to natasha, Becky, and Brian. She leaves behind her children: Natasha(David) 'brickett' jackson, Becky jackson,Brian Jackson, and Charlotte Jackson, Grandchildren: Angel,and Jacob. Brothers: David, louise, Carmon, and Kalvin. Sisters: Charleatte,Beckia,Nakasha, and Danayalle. Ciarra was the youngest of 9 children, and the first of the 9 to have a baby", said Bro. Johnson, who was the elder of east point congregation. After the funeral, Tony was no where to be found. Natasha came to me and said,"I wanted to tell you that I am sorry abiout how I acted in your office. Like it was totally rude, do you accept my appology?" I looked at natasha, and said,"I could never stay mad at you for too long." I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. I turned around.  To my surprise, it was my aunty charleatte."Aunty Charleatte, how you doing?", i exclaimed. "I'm fine", aunt Charleatte replied, while holding her daughter's hand. Cousin sara looked and saw that it was me, and gave me a hug. I walked around with sara for a while. "how old are you, now?", I asked. "I'm 24, and you?", sara replied." I'm 24",I replied. Sara quickly walked away because her mom was leaving. "So..you just couldn't stay away from me, huh?", said a voice that sounded familar. I quickly turned around. To my surprise, it was Dj. "Oh my god! How are you?", I said, forgetting about the question he just asked. We hugged for a while. "I'm fine", Dj responded. "I know you are", i whispered. "What was that?", Dj said, while smiling. " Oh nothing, Hows things with your team?", i asked. "It's good , we are actually 10-0", dj said. "Wow, that's great", i exclaimed. Dj pulled me to the side, and told me," heres my # just in case, you get bored or you just someone to talk to. Oh, by the way, i actually do miss what we had back in high school, I realize that i was a fool for letting you go". Dj also told
