Short Story Sunday: Something About Jia (Archive Classic)

Something about Jia..

The door bell ring 18 year old Jia Davis walked to her front door her whole life ha been a ball game but once her Boobs came in and her Hips spreaded out the only player to rule the court was her.

"Whut are yuh doing here"She stood to the chest of her sugar-daddy Zayon who was 20 years her senior but yet gave her the world if she asked for it. Something about her Carrbiean features had many fooled that she was part asian.

"I have a suprise for you" Zayon held out his arms for a embrace but it wasn't like him to stop by at her house at 3 o clock in the morning even though he brought it for her when they first started to mess around.
"Get dress he continued" As he plopped on the couch that looked better then anything he ever brought his wife. She ran upstair and threw on something quick after all the world knew her his the nanny to his kids.

He put his hands over her eyes as he eased his way into the house he shared with his wife has a businessman but his wife was never home and he was always alone raising his baby girls on his own. Turning on the light switch he removed his hands from her eyes.
Jia jumped up in excitment as she spotted her wish list laid out in front of her. She ran her hand across the boxes of Loboutin shoes counting the price tags then her eyes wandered to the fendi..gucci..and prada shattered throughout the house.
Money was the only language that she understood because it was the only thing that made her life liveable after she lost her mother at the age of 15.
"It's all yours" Zayon said with the smile on his face the smile that only sent one signal and that he was ready to be rewarded. See both of them had what the other one wanted and because of that shit never got confused. She seductively moved close as he bite his lips begging for a kiss silently. She removed her shirt exposing the set from victoria secret that he just brought her a few days ago.Pushing him on the couch she went into boss mode undressing him from head to toe before sitting on his stiffness and putting in her work.
"My nephew comes to visit tomorrow remember your the nanny" Zayon whispered in her ear as she grabbed her stuff and head to the car on the ride back home all she could think about was him and how fine he was for a older man and like the end of every encounter she wished he was younger and single and of course the one thing she didn't wanna change was the stacks he had.

As always Tyon was never pleased to see his own uncle although he was in idol in so many ways but he never had respect for a womanizer like him.
"Yo Unc were Aunt Shelly at" Tyon asked because if no one appreciated Shelia he did in many ways then the public eye could see.
"She's in Arubia our somewhere on business" Zayon said as if he didn't have a care in the world Tyon was to busy trying to figure out how you was married to a woman and didn't even know where she was for those long periods of time she was with you.
"Oh" Tyon said trying to force a fake smile at the man his mother said he resembled so much to the point she had to name him someone after him but one thing he did respect about his uncle was the fact he was the father he never really had.
"Why" Zayon asked staring at the younger version of him self and started to wonder if what Jia would do when she laid eyes on him or better yet what they both would do when they laid eyes on each other but yet again Jia was all about money and as long as he was still alive Tyon wasn't gonna be the owner of nothing he owned. Tyon chuckled almost as if he heard his uncle's thoughts and his mind drifted to Shelia although she was his aunt my marriage a few  summers ago that all changed and Shelia def got her groove back but Zayon was to busy trying to never lose his to even notice the change in his own wife. Pulling into his yard Jia ran around as water balloons were being thrown at her by Tammy and Yani Zayon's two little princesses Yani the youngest one ran over to Tyon and hopped in his arms as he stared at Jia.
"He def hitting that" he thought as he stared at his uncle who was talking to Jia about the girls as a cover up but it wasn't long before Tyon noticed Jia and his mind started to race about her to.
"Damn shortty yuh bad whut yuh doing being a nanny" Jia turned to look at Tyon and she smiled hoping he didn't peep her game at the first time of seeing her.
"Pays Well I guess" She bite her bottom lip Tyon laughed out loud has he defeated  the first task of getting noticed. The one thing he thanked his uncle for was his charm with the ladies even the gold digging type.

Days when by of both Tyon and Jia aimless flirting but Zayon kept a eye on the two especially after the slip ups of him banging her insides out when he thought everyone was sleep but today was the day that he takes the his uncles other woman from him as well.
"Where's Uncle Zay" Tyon busted in the room Jia stood half naked in the mirror as she put on her clothes.
"Damn! Can yuh knock" she grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her.
"He's at work" She continued knowing that his uncle worked in the city meant he had enough time to work his magic and catch his bait. Walking all the way in the room he closed the door behind him.
"I know yuh want me how about yuh stop fronting" something about his bluntness turned her on she looked at him then snapped out she ain't never been a sucka for looks so why start now. Tyon moved closer and Jia backed up to her dresser until she could no longer move he kissed her on the neck and rubbed in between her legs as she start get turned on. Unwrapping her towel and before it dropped on the fall she was begging for him not to stop. As the thought of having sex without it being a job became the hottest thing about the moment.

Shelia walked in the hotel room at the marriot courtyard as her lover Anaya laid ther half naked typing on her laptop.
"Baby i'm back" she yelled as she dropped her bags on the floor.Ana was def the only woman she came across to make her explore her curiosity about her thing for women and she had to be damn good to keep her away from her husband and his nephew.
"Shel i'm tired of hiding this when are you going to let your husband know so we can move on and be happy" Shelia knew the conversation was about to come up so to shut Ana up she brought her a tennis braclet for kays on the ways back from the airport. Jumping up and down at the sparkle of the piece of jewlery Ana exposed her full breast that mad Shelly go crazy.
"nope this time i want yuh to answer my question" Ana yelled as Shelly started to circle her tongue around her nipple not tryna give in she held ground and the stronger she tried to be the lower Shelly moved down. Pulling down her panties Shelly tongue ran over Ana's clit vigurously until Ana busted in her mouth.

"Imma tell him next week but I wanna just lay up with yuh"

NEXT WEEK.

Shelly walked in the door of her house and looked around there was now sign of no one there but Zayon's car was parked outside.Her daugther were in school and she suspected that he was up in his room. Walking up the stair she heard her favorite cd playing and she thought about how she could never leave her husband. She busted in the room to Zayon and Tyon in the middle of a hot threesome. Zayon jumped up as Tyon had a devilish grin on his face.
"How could yuh zay"!! She yelled as he lifted his head up from between Jia's legs. Looking in shock he couldn't explain what was going on but he knew he was busted. Shelia expected that from Tyon after all he had no problems sleeping with his uncle's wife but a threesome with a bitch in her bed was a little over board for her.
"Really in my bed" she screamed as she walked over to get a glimpse of the face of the home wrecker in the middle of the two men in her life..
"Anaya" she said in a shock as her world felt to have crumbled beneath her.
"Shelly" Jia said covering up her nakeness Tyon and Zayon looked in pure shock.
"Ya'll know each other" Tyon said with a smirk.
"Do we Shel tell them how yuh should be the last one to talk" Jia looked and saw away to redem everyone in the room.Shelly heart dropped as she started to talk everyone in the room had one obession and that was Jia. Zayon flipped the table and throw a glass on the ground.
"How could me son take my wife and my misteress" the room froze in complete silence
"SON"!! Shelly yelled as she found out her whole marriage was a lie. Tyon face twisted in a knot as the words started to marinate in his mind.
"How can I be your son" was the question that he asked as he looked back and realized he never had a dad only a uncle he shared to much in commom with.
"Oh shit" Shelly yelled as it all started to come down on her
"Tyon I been meaning to tell you that your Yani's dad" Jia looked puzzled and she was happy she was no longer the topic but hold on a minute she pause.
"I'm pregnant"!
She smiled once again how she still got them all tied to her there something about JIA she got them all hooked on her.

What to Cook Wednesday's

 Mackerel in Hot Tomato Sauce and Rice


Ingredients:

1 Can of Geisha Mackerel in Hot Tomato Sauce
1 Large Onion
3 Cups of Canilla Rice
Olive or Canola Oil
Sal and Pepper

Serves: 4-6 people   Prep-Time: 5 Minutes  Cook-Time: 30 Minutes
Directions:

In a medium size frying pan heat up your Oil.
While the Oil is getting hot slice or dice your onion.
Add the onions into the pan and turn the heat down to a medium. (You don't want your onions to burn)
When the onions are translucent open the can of mackerel draining the chili sauce into the pan and adding 1/4 cup of water. (This would keep the onions and sauce from burning)
Empty out the Mackerel spilt them in half and remove the bones (This step is optional some people like eating the soft bones, I personally don't).
Add the fish into the pan with the onions and the sauce and roughly broken up the fillets. (Don't break them up to much or you'll have a fish and chili paste)
Add a cup of water and turn the heat down to a medium low.
Salt it to your taste.
(Tip: taste as you go add a little salt and as the water evaporates add a little more)
Dash some pepper (For those spicy babies like myself)
Let it cook down until its semi thick and then it's done.


Directions: My Ultimate Rice Recipe.

In a medium pot boil about 3 cups of water.
Salt the water and add a drop of oil.
Add 2 cups of rice and turn down the heat  to a medium low and cover your rice.
(Canilla Parboiled Rice doesn't take long to cook. About 15 Minutes at least. I like my rice al dente like my pasta. it has to be a cross between soft and hard just cook it longer if you like softer rice, Test your rice and add water until its your desired texture)
Once your happy with your rice and all the water is out removed the lid.
Then serve!




Story Behind the Dish:

Growing up I was always interested in cooking. Up until today my mother laugh at how I use to get up early to watch cooking shows instead of cartoons as a child. So when I was nine years old she trusted me enough to actually prepare a meal for dinner. A meal that wasn't has simple as boiling Hot Sausage for sandwiches or prepping Ramen Noodles. I was so excited to graduate in the kitchen. Something I felt was long over due. She told me that she wanted Mackerel and Rice. I was no stranger to the dish as a matter of fact it was a stable in my household in between shopping trips. I grew anxious this meant I was going to be able to chop up onions really cook.
By the time my eyes finished watering from the onions I question my excitement. The dish came out very well  of course my mother walked me through it but never the less. This quick, affordable, and delicious dish was my very first real dish.

Two Cents Tuesday's

The Other Eating Disorder


Many people think that eating disorders basically stop at Anorexia and Bulimia, but there's a eating disorder that's just as dangerous. Yet, people often over look this particular disorder simply because the effects of this disorder is the total opposite then the effect of the two most common ones listed above.
This eating disorder is called Binge Eating. Why people look over this disorder is because many classify it with just being greedy. Without realizing that in some cases the person in question is actually dealing with a mental illness that can only be fixed with the proper medical procedures such has rehabilitation. Binge Eating is often classified has emotional eating. Where a person turns to food to fill a void within themselves.
A lot of time was introduced to a child during childhood. Mainly everyone use food as a form of celebration or gatherings in general. For example if a woman is going through a bad break up she normally drowns herself in Ice Cream or If its your birthday you go to your favorite restaurant or have a party with all your favorite food. For a emotional binge eater the feeling of rejection or excitement could send them on a binge fest.
The reason I decided to write about this topic is because of how often people who struggle with this eating disorder are mistreated and looked down upon. See it in this sense a binge eater and a anorexia person basically have the same problems one just see food as a enemy the other as a friend that would never left their side. The anorexic person would loss weight to an extreme point the binge eater would gain weight.
Yes, losing weight is as simple as stop eating so much and exercise more often but what if you couldn't stop eating so much. To a binge eater its like telling them to give up the only thing that makes them happy.
I hope this short segment shined a little light on something many people over look.
So the next time you see an obese person obviously eating to much instead of skinning up your nose maybe you could be that person to feel the void that the food is currently filling in their life.

My Life Mondays: Scheduling

As children being on a schedule was one of the worst things. We hated when we were woke up, told to go to bed and have that dessert.
Now as I have gotten older I realize that scheduling is a complete blessing. I have a hard time of keeping track of the things I need to do.
After the baby leaves every day and I cook dinner I'm wiped like let me watch tv and then get ready to do the same thing tomorrow.
Forgetting that I have a blog to up keep, Stories to write, People to Call, and Etc. When it comes to house work my mom make sure I don't forget to do any of that but after I do my daily duties it like I'm retired for the day.
Recently I started to write down on a piece of paper the most important thing I needed to do the next day and place it on the table next to my chair. The whole day I would look at it as a reminder that this have to be done regardless. It helped a lot so I decided to write out a schedule and putting it on something that I knew I was going to see everyday multiple times and day. That was my fridge what I found is I get a lot more done when I schedule.


Example Schedule:

6:00 A.M Wake Up, Brush My Teeth, and Wash My Face
6:15 Remove Objects out of the way that are dangerous for a baby.
6:20 Sweep House and Disinfect.
6:30 Rest
6:43 Get the Baby out the car put him in his walker.
6:50 Make Bottles
6:55-7:45- Play ,Feed, Clean Up and Change Diaper
7:50- 10:00- Sleep time
10:00-12:00- Play and Change Diaper
12:00- Feed
1:00 Call who needs to be called
2:00 Take the Baby for a Walk
2:30 Check Mail Box
2:45 Change Diaper and Clothes
2:50 Give Snack and Bottle
3:00 Nap Time
3:30 Play
4:00 Baby goes Home
4:15-5:30 Prepare dinner
6:00-6:30 Eat dinner
7:00-7:30 Clean Kitchen
7:45- 8:15 Bible Study
8:15- 8:45- Shower
9:00-1:00- T.V. Tablet Time
1:10- Prayer
1:20- Sleep

As you can see this is just a schedule of what I do from day to day without extras the goal is to add in workout and other things. The power of scheduling is finding out what you spend most of your time doing and some how switching it in away where you could do all you what to and need to do in a certain time frame.

Short Story Sunday: Tell Tell (Cont)


The night was dark and strange but Benz had something I wanted and apparently I had something he wanted too.

“You finally made it” He said cracking the smile he been cracking all night but for some reason this time it sent an uneasy sensation up my spine. He slowly open the door to his mini mansion and of course everything I expected to see was behind those doors. Naked women and Dope boys I swear it felt as if I stepped into that scene in American Gangsta.

A few bitches stared at me hatefully some even muttered

“Ain’t that Javi’s bitch, The Fuck she doing here” All I could do was grin how little ole me stirred up so much attention in a pair a baggy sweat pants and a camisole in a room filled with uncovered coochies left in right definitely added a couple of points to my ego.

“Yo Sysco this Havoc” Benz mention has we entered a dim back room which appeared to have been for special reason. To my left laid a mattress and to my right was a table filled with everything a person needed to turn up with.

“You Drink” Sysco asked as his eyes roamed my body up and down.

“I’m 24 years old the fuck you think” I snapped back at him momma always told me that when you meet someone no matter who the person might me stay true to who you are that way you wouldn’t build a relationship on fakeness  and no one could ever say that you’ve changed.

Benz chuckled “See man I told you, that’s your gonna love her” Sysco smirked as he passed the mixed patron drink to me.



I woke up feeling soar all over my body. My sweat pants rested on the chair next to me as I tried to sit up.

“Yo man she a freak” The cheering from the next room seemed to have grown louder as I slowly started to match my soul with my body.

“No wonder Javier bitch ass use to think he was the man, shorty bed in the bed like that”. That one statement full got my attention as I looked around the bedroom at the camera still on the tri-pod.

The lingerie shattered all over the floor. Confirming my thoughts of what took place.

                                                    “So you mother fuckers had to use a bitch like that”            I thought to myself I didn’t really have the time to react to what happened before I started craving revenge.

Grabbing my clothes I got dressed and crawled out the window as the evidence of them planning to do it again started to stick out like a sore thumb.




“Damn Girl you look horrible” Chuckie opened the door in his silk robe. The smell of expensive cologne hit me in the face confirming that David hadn’t let for work just yet.

“What happened last night with Benz” Chuckie asked as David stepped out of the door with his head held down see David was your typical DL brother. He had a successful job as a lawyer, nice house, nice car, a beautiful wife and four adorable children. Problem was he looked good on paper but was miserable in real life living a lie because the loving church going folks he called his parents disapproved of homosexuality.

“I was drugged and apparently starred in a porno last night” The words slipped out as I broke down into tears.

“Wipe your tears girl, its payback time” Chuckie pulled me up on my feet. See for someone such as myself who have been through every bad thing in life. This was such as painful as the others so my reaction was a little different than most. Most women would cry, scream, commit suicide, go to the police or what have you but for me I got them back.

Chuckie handed me the phone.

“Call Javier” he said almost in a whisper. It then dawned on me that all of this was happening because of Javier. Yet he was the only one who could help me this time.


“So you actually thought, that you could violate me, had no idea I like that freaky shit huh”  I sitting on top of Benz smiling as I started to undress him as he laid there tied to the bed with duct tape around his mouth. The fear in his eyes begged for me to get off him but my adrenaline boosted every time he swarmed.

“What kind of gangsta are you, how you let 3 women and a man bust up in your crib rob your shit, shoot your boys then tie you up” my voice grew deeper.

“Elly its show time” Wisdom yelled as the sound of Javier’s voice went from room to room.

You probably wonder how I got him there, Let’s just say No man take a threat to easily, especially not one on his family and a little lie or two had him raging.

See he thinks I volunteered to do some down ass bitch shit for him. Little did he know.

“The fuck is that pussy ain’t” he yelled busting in the door as I pulled out my gun pointed at Benz letting out a round of shots.

Javier grabbed the gun out of my hand.

“Yo Havoc what the fuck” he yelled in a panic.

“I took a fall for you now you take one for me” I laughed hysterically as he started to notice I had on gloves.

“You Bitch”! He yelled as he started to pace the floor back and forth.

“Where’s the keys to your ride and everything, you really thought I was gunna let you slide on my back nigga” I stood up getting dress in my all black attire.

“You ain’t getting shit” He yelled has Chuckie put the heavy metal in his hand to his temple.

“Murder Suicide that what it sounds like it gunna be “he said kissing me.

“I’m was never gay my nigga” Chuckie smiled at Javier as he started to count. The sirens could be heard from miles away as Wisdom started to whisper for us to hurry up.

“Everything in the secret room at the back of my house, here are my keys he handed the keys over in a panic as we slowly back out the room and slipped out the back door.


Javier got life. I got his businesses, house and married to Chuckie my very best friend who fooled the world for years just for my sake. In case you’re wondering David is actually his brother. There was no tape of me but of Dami and thanks to my getting even the whole world witnessed how many holes could be filled up at one time. As for Marble and Wisdom those girls are successful business women with everything that stole from Benz of course.

We all lived Happily Hood Fab After, THE END!

My Life Mondays: Why did I quit My Blog Last Year

Last year was just one of those years for me I got to the point where just everything seemed wrong including my blog.
The biggest mistake I made was letting so call professional's advice stir me in the wrong direction. I would research on how to have a more successful blog and etc.
Normally I got stuff like your blog has to be about one topic, geared to one type of audience and blah blah blah.
One topic was a little hard for me personally to stick to.
I started becoming discouraged because to be honest I wasn't getting the turn over I was expecting to receive and topics wasn't so easy to come by.
I grew depressed with my blog and no longer felt the need to write anymore period.
Towards the end of last year I told myself that it didn't matter anymore who read my blog or what attention my blog gets.
As long as it made me feel good and that's exactly why I reopened a new and approved version of my blog.
Where I write what I want hopefully making a readers day by giving them my views on something, indirect advice about something in their lives or simply made them laugh.

I started to realize how much someone else's guides and opinions have actually had me at a breaking point. I would say screw someone's view of perfection I'm going to do this thing my way after all its mine  and yet I was studying other people blogs like "im not good enough" , "I'm doing it wrong" and etc.
I lied I'm just as good as the next person. I just had to realize that if I'm going to brand my name or what ever you consider getting uour name out there. I want the world to fall in love with me as a person  not some play by the book person who tries to never get anything wrong in life.

FYI: I'm doing segments

Petals Fall!!!

Love You Guys! XOXO!
