Tuesday Tales – Light


Welcome to this weeks Tuesday Tales to the word prompt Light. 




Pia remembered repeatedly asking him to bring her back to her hotel room, but Larry kept saying soon.  While walking down the strip, he took her hand leading her into one of the stores.  One thing she remembered distinctively was Larry leading her into a jewelry store telling her to pick whatever she wanted.  That was the last thing she recalled.

The next morning she woke up naked in bed with Larry.  Closing her eyes she tried to think back to the night before.  What had happened between walking back to her hotel room and here?   She sat up.  Her head was killing her.  Boy she had some hell of a hangover.  She slid her legs off the bed, just as she got off, Larry wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her next to him.

“What are you doing?” Pia asked.

“I was just about to ask you the same thing.  Where are you going?”

“I’m going to get dressed and return to my room.”

“There’s no need to do that.  I brought all you things in here last night,” Larry said pointing to her two suitcases standing by the window.

“Why in God’s name would you do that?”  Pia asked breaking free of Larry’s grip.

“Because last night, we got married.”

Pia stood in place.  Her mind flipped in all different directions.  She would have remembered something like that.  “Stop playing games with me.”

“This isn’t a game.”  Larry got out of bed, slid on his shorts and took the envelope off the desk.  “Here you go.”

Pia took the papers out of the envelope.  Her eyes narrowed and her mouth dropped open.  “This is a lie,” she lashed out.  “I would have remembered getting married.”

“Your signature is on the document, right there,” he pointed.

Pia opened the verticals to let the light in.  The room was too dark to see anything. He was right.  The document had her signature right on the bottom. But why couldn’t she remember?  She didn’t love Larry.  In fact she didn’t even like him.  She just put up with him because they were business partner.

“I don’t believe you.”  Pia quickly dressed.

“Believe what you want.”
And that’s exactly what she did, until now.

    Ugh...I'd probably throw up soon as I saw the paper. Especially if I can't remember. I'm thinking annulment...because yikes!

    He had to have given her some kind of drug. Now, if she can somehow prove it the wedding could be anulled and he could go to prison.

    Mr Larry is always being sneaky and always doing evil things. MJP

Black Friday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Black Friday Blog Hop. I am not a Black Friday Shopper.  You ask why?  Because I was on the other side of the door. I worked at Toys R Us for five years.  And I worked every Black Friday.  I would spend Thanksgiving with my family, and then rush home to try to get a few hours sleep before going to work at 3:30 AM in the morning. I'd get to work and fight with the crowds to get through the exit door into the store.  By 4:00 AM the customers are crushed against the front door, some their noses against the glass.  Electronics and the hottest dolls are on the top of everyone's list.  Despite the complete mayhem, I must admit it was one of favorite days of the year to work, along with Christmas Eve. In my eyes, the main theme of all the Black Friday mayhem is love, getting the best deals to make our family, friends and love ones happy. Now you want to talk about love, I am giving away a copy your choice Roses or The Boardwalk . ...

Wounded Warriors Project Blog Hop

Christmas is about family, tradition and memories.  Through the years I've kept up with my grandmother's tradition of making Christmas cookies, which I might add I love doing and sharing. This past year, after being a single parent for 17 years, I met the love of my life and got married three months later.  Now we are making our own traditions and box full of memories. For the first time in over ten years, I have taken out Christmas decoration, which were packed away with no future to be seen again, expect for being passed on to my kids. But not this year.  My husband John and I combined our Christmas decorations, decorated all three floors of our townhouse transporting our home into a winter wonderland. My four foot tree is fully decorated in the den and his eight foot tree is in my living room with a collaboration of both our ornaments making for the perfect tree. We bought new ornament and decoration to make our new memories to go with our new life to...
