Two thorns of flesh

Is this how little you think of me ? ‘ Lantan asked, turning his face towards the pastel green freshly painted door.

Lantan, was a brown skinned mixed race man , with grey puppy dog eyes ,slim faded pink lips and small pointed nose.  He loved his head skinned and shiny , his beards full but neatly trimmed, and his six feet two body built, like a bouncer . 

Yes , Broina answered, carefully arranging her brown vintage suitcase. Her voice was shaky , and the things in her box were partially soaked with tears. 

She was a tall but not too beautiful young lady . She was about six foot one , with a dyed brown lowcut , and a rectangular shaped body . She was very into fitness , she never missed her morning runs. Her skin was beautiful, very dark skinned , almost like charcoal, but her skin shone like gold.

It’s okay , I’d be fine eventually, ‘she continued. 

But it wasn’t just sex ‘ Lantan yelled . It was me , you and the universe.

Broina giggled, and shook her head. She was going to let that one slide. After all , she was leaving already . 



🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯

She was dressed and ready to go. She wore a pink ruffled sundress, and a pair of brown mules. Her still had the faint hint of brown dye. She wore a square shaped pair of brown shades. It almost covered her whole face. 

As she made her way to the door, through the dark living room , Lantan called out from the darkness. 

So this is it , a year and a half down the drain  ‘ His voice cracked as he spoke. 

She ignored him and took two more steps towards the door. She stretched her hand to check if it was open . She opened the door wide, and dropped her suitcase in front of the door, then closed it back . 

Lantan sat up from the dark grey sofa, he was lying on , waiting for what she was going to do next . 

Broina walked towards Lantan, hitting her feet as she tried to make her way in the darkness. 

She sat down beside Lantan, and placed her hand on his right thigh. 

Hey ‘ she called out, her voice was already faint.

Hey yourself ‘ Lantan replied, as a weak smile spread on his face. 

I know, you think this is uncalled for , I know you think I should stay and let us figure this out , but at the same time I know you know this is for our own good ‘ Broina said , trying to speak in a more audible voice . 

The fights, the midnight calls, her name , her phone number plastered on all your kitchen cabinets ‘ her voice was high pitched this time. 

It drives me nuts Lat, and I tried for heaven’s sake I tried to just be calm old Broina but I just can’t pretend. It’s killing me inside . It kills me everyday. 

I hope that one day we’d be able to get over this, that she’ll actually not be in our way . For today, I just crave peace of mind and I can’t get it here anymore. 

Okay ‘ Lantan answered.
Squeezing her into a hug , and sobbing into her shoulder. 

She hugged him back and placed a peck on the top of his bald head. 

She stood up and walked out.

🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯

Broina adjusted her headset as she cocked the ‘33 caliber pistol, and pointed at her aim. 

The gun went off, so did the bullet . She took off her headset and walked towards her target to see how successful she was, but was interrupted by someone clapping behind her. 

Wooooo , that was a damn good aim , Drudna said. 

Broina rolled her eyes and kept walking towards her target. She had hit the forehead alright . 

Mmmmmmm ‘ she let out loudly and nodded ,  as a way of praising herself. 

Still here , ‘ Drunda called out.

What for ? ‘ Broina asked. 

Did you tell him ? ‘ she asked .

Tell him what ? ‘ Broina replied .

Who you really are ? ‘ she asked 

Duhhh, Broina laughed , I know what you’re talking about smartie pants.

Uggggh , you’re so annoying. 

I know. Now leave me alone . You’re not even meant to be talking to me ‘ Broina said as she rolled her eyes . 

Yeah okay , good luck with the therapist tomorrow ‘ Drunda said as walked away .

Broina turned .

Thanks D ! ‘ she yelled . 

🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯

So how are you today Broina .....  Meschav ‘ Mr Fonde asked .

Well fine, but definitely not finer than you ‘ she replied , with a side smile .

He was very bright skinned with chiseled jaws, beautiful dentition and a full beard . He was of average height , between five seven and five nine . 

He had a very built body for a therapist. Broina sensed some kind of weird energy when she first saw him, but shook it off . 
Hey , can I call you therapist F ? ‘ she asked mockingly . 

Call me whatever,’ he said, studying her face . 

Okay okay , what about Sexy TF ? ‘ she asked again.

He waved his hand to reveal his shiny gold wedding band and told her it was totally inappropriate.

Okay okay , fine , what do you want ? ‘ she finally said, giving up on the mind games . 

Tell anything you’re ready to tell me, anything at all’ he said .


Mmmm okay . How about this .

I fell in love with the man I was meant to be watching like a hawk. I made him spilt up with his girlfriend of six years , and somehow he fell in love with me. Now I can’t even go a day without thinking about him. 

How’s that ? ‘ she asked . 

Go on ‘ he said .

Not only did I find out that he’s squeaky clean , I found out that he is the son of the infamous Labser, the most amazing movie director ever . Best of all, he’s the most amazing human I’ve ever met. Lantan I mean . 
I can’t keep going on, I want out of this craziness. Please . 
I would drop my badge, my position, everything I know . 

Did you meet this his “girlfriend”? ‘ Mr Fonde asked .

Why is this so important? ‘ She asked .

Cause we would need every bit of information you have ‘ he replied , adjusting his suit . 

And if I’d rather not answer ? ‘ she asked . 

Then you’d get this , he pointed and cocked his ‘90 caliber at her , and ordered her to stand . 

She was dressed in a pair of coffee brown palazzo pants , a white sleeveless ruffled blouse , coffee brown knee length boots . 

On her hand , was the bracelet Lantan had gotten for her for her 30th birthday present. It never left her hand . 

She stood up slowly , her legs felt woobly, and her palms were wetter than they’ve ever been . 

He waved the gun towards the door , as he ordered her to move . She took three steps, bent like she was tired , took out her gun and pointed at “Mr Fonde”. 

Woof, too late ‘ he said as the bullet pierced her right arm .

She groaned loudly and passed out . 


Hello, ‘ Broina , or should I called you Fendus . ‘ Drunda asked as she laughed loudly .

My name is ..... ‘ she paused and observed Broina’s face . 

Broina was numb , she had been given way too many doses of Anastasia . 

Well just called me D , like you always do . 

We’ll get acquainted later on , but just so you know .

You took something that was mine. Something I owned for six year , something I was meant to .......... 

Lantan stabbed her with a syringe he found in that tray close to Broina’s bed and ran to meet her .

Broina’s heart was racing , she didn’t want to go with Lantan. She wasn’t sure how he found her , until she remembered the bracelet in her wrist . 

You’re safe ‘ he whispered into her right ear .

He carried her to his brown Ford truck , and placed her in the back seat . 

Broina couldn’t look around , but she heard voices around her , so she knew they weren’t alone. 

🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯

The Anastasia began to wear off, and her mind raced faster . She tried to sit up without startling Lantan. She recognized the place they were , but she didn’t understand why they were there . 

The car jerked to a stop, and Lantan tried to open the back door , but couldn’t. She had locked it during the drive. He fiddle with the remote control, his face engrossed in trying to open the door . 

As he opened it , she kicked him in the face . She was still weak from all that Anastasia, but used all her strength to struggle.

Take this filth out of my car, ‘he yelled to two very muscular men .

There , ‘he pointed to a yellow old Mercedes Benz about three feet away from where they were standing. Take her there Manlanzo is waiting to take her to the plantation. Tell him to never take his eyes off her , and makes sure she works at least 20 hours a day . 

He spat on her boots as the men dragged her to the Mercedes Benz .

🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯

Both men fell down , almost at the same time .

Broina laid in the ground , and slowly crawled towards Lantan. His gun was pointed in her direction , she stressed her hand towards him . 

I love you ‘ she said repeatedly as the bullet from the unknown snipper pierced through his forehead. 

I love you . 

THE END
