Love is in the Air

Scene 2

Breaking Spells

      "Franklin," she slid her fingers through the loops of his jeans and pulled him as close as she could with the presence of the pillow bunched between them, "Don't worry about that."

　　　　"Don't worry?" He rubbed his hands down her back and around the curves of her buttocks, sucking in his breath at their simultaneous thrusting movements. "Are you saying you're on the pill?"

　　　　"No, I'm just saying not to worry about it. One time won't hurt anything. It'll be okay."

　 　　　Franklin laughed and slowly pushed himself off the bed. "Honey, a lot of people have said the exact same thing and have ended up in some pretty dire situations." 　　　　
She sat up, pulling the pillow up and in front of her.

"How dire could a situation get between the two of us, Franklin?" 　　　　
Looking into her eyes, he had to smile at the pout on her lips and the exaggerated flutter of her lashes. 　　　
　"Me, I would go to Hell and kiss Satan's butt if it means I could spend eternity with you." 　　　
"And I you, so what's the problem?" 　　　
　"What if you became pregnant, and then decided you didn't want me anymore? I wouldn't be able to live. No you and my child gone… I would just die." 　　　　
"Are you saying you wouldn't marry me? You would let me just have a kid on my own? Yeah, I would probably have to leave you then." 　　　
　"See, so that we don't even have to face that kind of situation, I'm just going to leave now." 　　　　"Geez, Franklin I'm only kidding." Carmella grabbed her robe from the edge of the bed and followed him out of the room. "I would never leave you." 　
　"Girl, I am well aware of that. The next time we meet and every time after that, I'm going to be prepared." 　　　　
"God, you're driving me crazy, Franklin." 　　　　
"Maybe the next time you invite me over, you will plan things better. It can't always be on the man to protect the woman." He leaned over, gave her lips a quick kiss and walked out of the door. 　　　
"Well, I can honestly tell you this much, Cupcake." She returned to the present and dished the prepared foods into decorative bowls. "He won't be walking out of here tonight." 　　　

　Pulling a bag of various colored condoms from a drawer in the island she poured them into a glass container and pushed on the lid. She had a special place for this. Carrying the jar towards the hallway, she stopped behind the couch in the living room and turned up the volume on the TV. Holding the jar tightly, she danced in rhythm to the tones of her favorite video. Since meeting Franklin, all other songs had become obsolete;  2NE1's I Love You was now her motto.

English Version of Carmella's song

　Carmella, taking slow bites on a grape, sat mesmerized by the sight of Franklin, dressed in nothing but pajama bottoms, moving around in her kitchen preparing breakfast, He sang the chorus to Bruno Mars' Locked Out of Heaven loudly and in good voice. The grape slipped from her fingers, hit the counter top and fell to its squishing end, when Franklin bent at the waist to retrieve a dish towel from the floor and wiggled his butt in her direction. Coughing slightly, she cleared her throat and picked up another grape. 

"So, is that little action a necessary move for picking up dropped items?" She ate a bit of the fruit, chewed and swallowed. "I may have to start doing that. Looks very enticing" 　　　

　"Please don't do it while I'm around. I'll have to take it as an invitation." 　　　　

"I should hope so. If I have learned anything from the last month, you are the best," She left her place at the counter. "It's the fact you are the best and most thoroughly entertaining guest." Coming up behind him, she slipped her hands around his waist and into the pockets of his pajamas. "That's why I give you an open invitation. Sing that song again. I have really started to love it." She kissed the lobe of his ear. 　　　　

"If you don't move your hands, you'll find out exactly why I needed your cooking class. My secret of being the world's worst cook will be exposed. Along with the equipment I use for entertaining. I'd love to spend another day cuddling in bed with you, but I have to get to the airport." 　　　　

"Yeah, I know." Resting her head on his back, she reluctantly removed her hands and pretended she would return to her seat. “Me, too. But first I have to meet the girls." 　　　

　“So, what do your girls think about this?" 　　　　

"Think about what? Me, having breakfast in the kitchen?" 　　　

"No, the fact you are being practically eaten for breakfast on the kitchen island." He turned until he was facing her and pulled her close into his arms. The quick movements of his hands releasing the knot of her short lacy robe exposed her matching panties and bare breast. An action that started off as a hungry quick kiss, turned into a desperate need for immediate fulfillment. Pushing her to the small space of wall between the pantry door and the refrigerator, Franklin caressed her body, hands gliding down until they reached the top of her panties, before stopping. "Do we have time for this?"

 　　　　

Carmella chuckled softly. "We don't have the time not to do this. I would die right here if we didn't and you left me hanging." 　　　　

"And I refuse to let you die when I can be your savior."

Who Controls the Path of #Romance? Tripping Prince Charming~ 3 loves/3stories

Nothing hurts worse than when a relationship ends. Except when you could've avoided it.

FRANKLIN:
He watched her as she approached slowly, her fingers twisting and untwisting around and into each other, bottom lip pouting and trembling, a solitary tear resting on the tip of her lower lashes. This was the hardest thing he’d ever done in life, but it had to be done. As much as he wanted to grab her up and hold her in his arms, he had to back away and let her figure out what she wanted with her future. He could no longer pretend he didn’t care as much as he really did. Stifling his urges, his passion, his love, while waiting for her “to be sure,” was breaking his heart. He had to call the relationship off.

Carmella heard the words Franklin was saying, but couldn’t comprehend. She could see his lips moving, but her mind was blocking her ability to put the sentences in any logical context. What was he saying? She shook her head to clear the fog, but it didn’t help. She no more wanted to hear him than she wanted to hear what he was saying. Was he really saying they should break-up?

“What are you saying?” Her voice came out in barely a whisper.

“I’m saying this is not working for me. I can’t keep coming here day in and out and not know how I will find you. What frame of mind will you be in? Will you love me or will you push me away? I can’t take it anymore. I can’t be the toad you kick around because you aren’t ready to have a prince in your life. I’ve been telling you this for days now. Call me when you’re ready to stop thwarting my every effort to make this relationship work."

BERNARD:
Sighing heavily, Bernard closed his eyes for a second before looking in Ivy’s direction. He was angry and hurt. The hurt over ruled so much all he wanted to do was cry, but not in front of her.It was all that he could do to keep himself from running out of the building like a heartbroken little girl,the dismay and disbelief ran that deep. He pinched the space between his eyes to calm himself.

“Ivy, I can’t even tell you how I feel about this. I’ve mentioned it many times before. So many times, in fact, that I am beginning to think I sound needy. I’m finding it very hard to believe there is nothing going on between you and Nathaniel. You say you’re trying to match him with Lillie-Rose and yet I never see him with her. I always seem to find you huddled next to him, you smiling up at him or you deep in conversation. I can’t handle myself being so jealous and if you’re trying to play some kind of game to keep me in this emotional hell, I have to tell you, it hurts. Do you even realize what you are doing to me? Can you imagine how you make me feel?”

Holding back the tears shoving to escape, he paused to clear his throat and grab the reins of his emotions. The small action bolstering his determination to show her he had become tired of the ridiculous peek-a-boo she’d been playing with their relationship. Four months of love-me-love-me-not, had taken its toll.

“I don’t know what you were trying to prove with the little scenario you were delivering with such perfection, Ivy, or whether or not Nathaniel is a part of it, all I can tell you is this, you’re killing me. I can’t prove myself any better than I already have. If you’re trying to make me jealous or you’re,” he paused to clear his throat again. “Or you’re really in a relationship with him; I need you to understand I will not stand around and watch as you try to pull together some fanciful fairytale life. If I haven’t shown myself to be yours by now, then I never will. When you get your story straight, call me.” He stepped back and reached for the handle of the door. “You know where you can find me. I’ll be the one standing next to the white horse.”

NATHANIEL:
 “Okay Lillie-Rose, don’t answer me. I’m just going to have to believe what he has told me. You regretted breaking up after losing his child and then I come into the picture and make him see where he messed up. I’m going to have to believe you two never really ended the relationship you had as kids and I’m going to step out of the picture.” Without another word Nathaniel turned to walk out of the door.

Rushing forward, she made to grab for his shirt tail and missed as he slipped through the opening, closing it softly behind him.

You Can Lead a White Horse...Interview With Guys From Tripping Prince Charming #romance #thingslegendsaremadeof

You can lead a white horse to the castle,  but it doesn't mean the drawbridge will
be let down.

Ey, here. I thought I would share the interview from IN THE CHAIR , over here. I don't know how familiar you are with the romance of Tripping Prince Charming, but it is the tale of three women,  feed  up with love stories and the three men in pursuit of them.

Today our interview will be with the guys from Tripping Prince Charming. Nathaniel, Franklin and Bernard. I hear they have a big surprise in the making, maybe we'll be able to get them to give us a small hint of what it is.

"Hi, guys, welcome. Take a seat anywhere. I'll start the questions with, Bernard, if you all don't mind." *Ey reaches out and shakes Bernard's extended hand*

 "No problem, here." Franklin releases the button on his suit jacket and sits between Bernard and Nathaniel.

 "Just so you know," Ey placed canned drinks on the coffee table in front of them. "I've met the ladies during an earlier broadcast, but I want you tell me what you feel for them and let the audience know which is your girl. Okay Bernard, start."

 "Right, Ivy is the the closest thing to Heaven I can imagine. Tiny in stature, cute as can be, but a bit of a busy body. She wants everyone  happy and in love before she settles  down ... at least that's what I believe. The little games she is playing keeps my mind and heart on edge. *he pulls a picture from his shirt pocket.* This is what she looks like, beautiful, huh?

Franklin laughs.
"That's my girl's cousin, so I going to let you live with that dream. The girl is cute man, but she doesn't hold a candle to Carmella." He stands a pulls a picture from his pocket.

Slapping it on the top of the coffee table sitting before them. "Bam, now this is a beauty,  my, Carmella Candi, As sweet as can be, Ms. Independent.  This girl right here will drive a man to drink or reform. I can't gauge her from one minute to the next, but I'm in it until I win it."

"Fellows,  I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but you guys have your tiny prizes,  and I have the jackpot."

 Nathaniel places his photo on the table after giving it a gentle kiss.

 "You guys may 'be' having trouble getting Ivy and Carmella to see things your way, but if I can't get Lillie-Rose to understand I'm the one dragging around the white horse in her honor, you may as well throw those glass slippers against a wall."

"It isn't really that bad, right guys?"

"Is it really that bad? Sometimes, Ey, you have us bouncing off the walls and we have no idea which way to go. I still can't get over that break up scene." Franklin leaned forward in his chair to wag his finger in Ey's face. "For a little bit, I wanted to give you a hell of a migraine, just for the pain you put my heart through."

Ey leans forward and rubs her hands together in anticipation.  "But, that's all been taken care of. I heard rumors you three had a big surprise planned. Care to share with the audience? "

Each of the men, slowly scooted back in their chairs,  returning the individual pictures to their pockets.

 "I have no idea what you're talking about." Franklin shuffled his feet and folded his arms.

 "As if we should say something if there were anything, especially with that camera rolling. " Bernard looked at his watch. "As a matter of fact I have somewhere I need to be. "

As he stood the others joined him.

 "My suggestion is, you read the book." Bernard placed a copy on the table. "I know how you authors can 'be',  write ,  write never read. If we tell the audience what is going to happen. ..  well, what would 'be' the fun in that. Be sure to tell your audience to checkout excerpts at our place- http://trippingprincecharming.blogspot.com or grab some of those pins from Pinterest."

 "Okay, I'll just let you leave like that. I see y'all in a rush, all out the door already. Feel free to come back, anytime." * Ey yells out the door at their quickly disappearing forms.

Just 3 Scenes & You're In Love. Tripping Prince Charming #romance

"Once upon a time there were three girls without a love of their own..."









*Ivy & Bernard- A Thorn in Her Pocket


 “Did you really mean to wet me like this?”
 “Oh no,” Bernard chuckled self-consciously along with her. "Well, not as much as this, for obvious reasons.” With a nod of his head, he indicated the appearance of her hardened nipples, literally naked through the sheer material of her thin white shirt. “Honestly, I’d thought a few drops would fall on you and then I could have played the hero and offered you drying materials, and afterward we would have a full conversation instead of the cursory ones we have inside the building. Unfortunately, when I turned the corner at breakneck speed, trying to catch you before you drove off, I stopped short at the sight of you on the bottom steps and the water sloshed out of the glass. Stupid me trying to keep it from tilting, dropped a book, reached for it, and the glass tilted anyway and here we are.”
 Ivy, standing with mouth gaped, listened intently. She was infatuated. The fact he knew her name and had gone through such ridiculous tricks to get to know her better, made her care less how he met her, but extremely happy, he had finally taken the initiative.
 “Are you okay? Are you in shock, Ivy?” Bernard snapped his fingers in front of her face. “You haven’t said a word or changed expression in the past two minutes."
"Yes, I’m fine. Kinda glad actually, I was sitting here trying to figure out how to ‘casually’ bump into you and now it’s done. We can’t go out for a cup of coffee with me looking like an advert of a bar contest. Can we set a date for a rain check?”
 “Yes, of course. Give me your phone and I’ll put in my number. That way you can call me whenever you’re ready to set the date.” With an ease that kept her calm, Bernard took the cell from Ivy’s slack fingers, tapped his number in, returned her phone and was stepping back before she could react. “Now, remember, Ms. Ivy Gardiner, I’ll be waiting.” And with that he turned and walked away. Whistling as he went.

**Lillie-Rose & Nathaniel- In All the Right Places:

If it weren’t for the fact, just the thought of Nathaniel caused her to do something that made her look like a fool, she would probably try to get to know him better. She had no idea where she stood with him behind the occasional comment on her clumsiness. It seemed as if every time they happened to meet, she did something totally asinine. With a blush of shame she remembered their most recent encounter.
 Just that very morning, she’d gone into the electronics supply store near her home to price a new flat screen television. While browsing and not paying attention to the people around her, she rammed the wheels of her basket into the heels of a fellow customer.
 Totally ashamed and apologetic, she pushed the basket aside and grabbed the sleeve of the poor man’s shirt with the intention of showing immediate sincerity and comfort. And just as her luck would have it, she almost died of embarrassment when the man turned around and she found the scraped leather turned out to hold the bruised heel of Nathaniel Henry.
Remembering the pained look on his face made her want to cringe all over again. Feeling as if she were touching a flame, she’d quickly released the grasp on his arm and pushed her hands into her pockets. Nathaniel smiled, more like grimaced slightly, as he turned his foot to examine the wound on his heel before dismissing it as trivial.
 “Do you have a vendetta to cause me as much pain as possible, Lillie-Rose?” There was just enough humor in his tone to make her relax.
 “No, of course I don’t. I’m so sorry.” To gain a few seconds to compose her heart rate, she stepped back a few paces so she could see his face without having to lean her head too far back. “I didn’t know it was you.”
 “I’m sure you didn’t. Is this the way you treat all of your male acquaintances? This is what... the fifth time we’ve run into each other? I’ve always gotten the worst end of the deal, let tell you, it’s unnecessary. You’re beautiful enough to get any man you want without stooping to maim the guy in order to get him to go out with you.”
She’d just made up her mind she would apologize to him for their previous accident ridden encounters and here he was causing a scene. Gritting her teeth, Lillie-Rose took a deep breath and swallowed hard to stem the retort that wanted to rush out of her mouth.
 “Listen, Nathaniel, l-I’m not usually so clumsy,” She paused at the obvious sardonic lift of his left brow. “Well, okay, I must admit I have been having way too many incidents when it comes to you, but I can guarantee you if I wanted to date someone I would just walk right up to him and ask…. would you like to go out for coffee or something.” “And I would say yes, let’s go, though I would prefer the ‘something’. Are you finished here? I’m ready.”
“Wha….?” “Are you chickening out?”
“No, yes, I wasn’t asking you out, Nathaniel.” “Why not? You owe me.”
 He turned his leg and slid his pant leg up so she could see the redness of his heel. Lillie-Rose closed her eyes briefly. Even the site of his sore, painful heel couldn’t douse the flame that was about to burn her alive. The man had gorgeous muscular calves and the flexing movements of his smooth flesh did nothing to stop her mind from wondering what the rest of his leg, his thigh, and his body would look like exposed.
She moved a step back and almost jumped out of her skin when he took one step forward and his hand snaked out and grabbed her arm.
 “Careful or you’ll knock over those laptops.” Shaking his hand off, she stuffed her hands in her jean pocket, unaware the movement tightened her blouse and showed the telltale evidence of his effect on her. “Are you afraid to go out with me Lillie-Rose?”
“No, I have no fear, at all.” Nathaniel smiled and looked pointedly at her breast. “Then it definitely has to be something else.” Following the trail of his eyes to look down at herself, Lillie-Rose hurriedly removed her hands from her pockets and tugged at her blouse. “Geez, Nathaniel. So you have an effect on me.”
Deciding that bluntness was the only way to go, she sighed and threw caution to the wind. Nothing could happen in daylight and especially not in the middle of the electronics department of Gadgets and Geeks, she moved as close to him as possible without stepping into his clothes. Once their bodies touched she moved ever so slightly until her hardened nipples were rubbing against him.
Since she was shorter than he, this meant her face was aligned exactly with his breast. Using the same slow, gentle movements of her body, she turned her head and face from one cheek to the other and let out a deep breath. The movement of her lips and the heat from her breath against him caused his breast to mirror hers.
 “I see I have the same effect on you.”
 “No, this is the effect you have on me.” For a brief moment he pressed her backwards into the counter and mimicked the movements she had made by slowly twisting his hips. The hardness of his groin, making more of an impression on her in the millisecond they were close and caused more damage to her system than any molten lava of a volcano could do through a path of trees. She sucked in her breath sharply and thought she would pass out from the quick lack of oxygen. “Don’t play with fire little girl unless you’re willing and able to put it out.” Then he released her and strode away in the opposite direction as quick as he could.
 Feeling chastened, she made her escape and had been sulking in her office ever since. One minute thanking God they had been in a public place and she hadn’t made a complete fool of herself and the next moment ticked off because she hadn’t made a complete fool of herself.
***Carmella & Franklin- The Cooking Class:
Entering the elevator, Carmella stood against the wall, crossed her arms and rested her back on its cool surface. She really wanted to spend more time with him, but hadn't gotten brazen enough to initiate the asking. Franklin stood facing the door, fiddling with his coat button and watching her in the door's reflective surface. He cleared his throat when he saw that she was watching him.
"So Franklin, why are you taking a cooking class?" He coughed. "Huh?"
"Why are you taking a class? You don't have a wife or girlfriends you're trying to impress, do you?"
 "Uhm, no." "Then why take the class? It's not like you ever pay attention." She pushed away from the wall as the doors opened to the basement floor parking garage. "If you were acting like one of the other hundred guys who've taken the class, yet spent most of the evening trying to hit me up, I would think you liked me, but you say nothing." She walked through the door, pulling his sleeve as she exited. "Come on. My car is over here."
He followed her without telling her he knew her car, had known it for weeks before he’d decided to take the cooking class. For one thing it wasn't hard to remember her car; no one else he knew drove a little red Aston Martin, and for the past year they had attended the same church even though he tried to stay out of her way. "How can you afford this car teaching people how to cut onions and celery?"
"I cut a lot of onions and celery."
"Right."
"You know, Franklin." She pushed the required tab on her key fob and opened the car's door. Sliding into the driver's seat she placed her finger near the button that would start the car and paused. "If you want to wait until you have gone through a few more classes before you ask me out it's okay. I won't tell you ‘no', but please ask before you cut your fingers off. You are lethal with a knife." She started the car. "Besides, I don't think it would be fun to date someone without fingers. You won't be able to use chopsticks." Carmella laughed, pulled the door from his hands, before slamming it shut and driving off. At the first stoplight she pulled out her cell, pushed her earpiece in her ear and made a conference call to her two best friends.

*I Can't Make You LOVE Me* #romance Tripping Prince Charming #thingslegendsaremadeof

Finding & catching true love can be a romance on its own. And nothing hurts worse than when a relationship ends or misunderstanding cause heartache.  Except when you could've avoided it.

This is no ordinary love story.

 ACT I:STAY

**FRANKLIN:He watched her as she approached slowly, her fingers twisting and untwisting around and into each other, bottom lip pouting and trembling, a solitary tear resting on the tip of her lower lashes.

**BERNARD:Sighing heavily, Bernard closed his eyes for a second before looking in Ivy’s direction. He was angry and hurt. The hurt over ruled so much all he wanted to do was cry, but not in front of her.It was all that he could do to keep himself from running out of the building like a heartbroken little girl,the dismay and disbelief ran that deep.

Friends On Ruby Mountain~Scene From Tripping Prince Charming

　　　　"What's so funny Carmella?" 　
　　　Lillie-Rose poked Carmella's shoulder with her pointer finger. 　　　
　"Not a thing." Carmella sat up in surprise and looked into the eyes of her friends. She hadn't heard them approaching. 　　　
　"She’s probably thinking about Franklin, who else?" 　　
　　 Ivy flopped down in the middle of the flowers at the base of the tree house and began weeding. Lillie-Rose studied the bemused smile on Carmella's face and the twinkle in her eyes before sitting on the heavy iron bench next to her. 　　　
　"Yup Ivy, by the look in her eyes, I think you're right. Got something you want to share, Carmella?" 　　　
　Carmella stood, straightened her clothes before removing her sandals and stepping on to the low retaining wall surrounding the statue of the fallen prince. Slowly, walking with her arms spread wide she tried to keep her balance as she moved from the toes of the prince to his chest. Swinging her right leg over to straddle it, she sat on his stomach before answering. 　　　　
"Don't worry about me, Lillie-Rose we're here because of you. What's on your mind?" 　　　
　"That's what I'm wondering." Ivy moved closer to her friends, dropped to the ground and immediately dug her fingers into the soil. "It's not like she ever wants to hang with us anymore. Rarely calls, never comes out to play." She laughed. 　　　　
Changing her position to lay on the bench, Lillie-Rose stretched her limbs, flexed her toes, and relaxed. The coolness of the metal seeping through the thin material of her blouse and making her shiver slightly. She watched her friends giggling and slapping at each other like little kids unable to hold the secret they have on one another. She wiggled her fingers in Ivy’s direction before closing her eyes. 　　
　"Maybe it's because you always want to play in the dirt, little Miss Ivy Gardiner." 　　　
　"Ha, maybe it’s because you have a new playmate and you don't have any time for us." 　　　
　"Ha, or maybe it’s because you have a new playmate that plays different kinds of games.” 　　
　　Ivy and Carmella scoffed and laughed loudly before stating their own opinions between bursts of laughter. 　　　
　 “And they aren’t the kind of games you can play with us." 　　
　　Reaching down to grab a handful of clovers, Lillie-Rose threw them in her friends’ direction, the gentle breeze swirling and floating the petals over and releasing them on their heads, Ivy and Carmella laughed delightedly. 　　
　　"You aren't funny. Besides," Lillie-Rose closed her eyes again. "I was just with you in Beaumont."
　"You noticed she didn't deny having a new playmate." 　　
　　"Oh, I noticed alright." 　　　
　Lillie-Rose opened one eye at Ivy's tone. The other woman smiled smugly, the hint of the knowledge of a secret, evident in her tones. 　　
　　"So, Lillie-Rose." Carmella tapped a tune on the forehead of the prince, immediately receiving an admonishment from Lillie-Rose for her actions. 　　
　　"Wow, silly laugh and defending the prince." Ivy elbowed Carmella on her rear. "If I have to make a deduction, I'd say our girl has found her a man." 　　　
　Taking note of the way Lillie-Rose smiled before closing her eyes again, Ivy jumped off her perch, and rushing to the bench, she pushed Lillie-Rose's legs off and sat down. 　　　
　"Spill." 　　　
　"Yeah," Carmella joining her friends on the bench, pushed Lillie-Rose from the shoulder until she was sitting up. "Please say its Nathaniel." 　
　　　"Of course it's Nathaniel. Who else would it be?" Ivy leaned back triumphantly and folded her arms across her chest. “Those 900 bad blind dates were decoys, designed to make sure our little Lillie-Rose kept her mind and her eyes on the prize. Guess my plan worked." 　　
　　Reaching behind Lillie-Rose's back, Carmella swung unsuccessfully in Ivy's direction. 　　
　　"What plan?" Lillie-Rose looked from one to the other. Carmella and Ivy made a face at each other over Lillie-Rose's head. Each one unsuccessfully trying to shush the other’s words. 　　
　　"Don't mind Ivy, she’s talking out of her head. It wasn't really a ‘plan'. More like a wish." 　　
　　"What kind of wish?" 　　
　　"You know. I was building a relationship with Franklin, Ivy with Bernard and we didn't want you to be alone." 　　　
　"We just prayed for the right man to come your way." 　　
　　"Well, I think your prayers may have worked." 　　
　　Ivy and Carmella jumped up squealing and laughing like little kids. Chasing each other around the bench and then the statue, ending out of breath in front of Lillie-Rose they grabbed her hands and pulled her up to join them.. 　　　
　"Get excited, girl." Carmella bounced a little in her excitement. 　　　
　"What makes you think our prayers were answered?" Ivy put her hands on her hips, tapping her right foot in impatience. “I don’t see a ring on that finger.” 　
　　　“He gave me this.” She pulled the necklace from inside her shirt. “He says the one petal means he loves me and I don’t have to throw petals off the bridge anymore.” 　　
　　“That’s sooo romantic.” Ivy crooned. 　　　
　“It really is sweet, but I had my heart set on seeing a ring.” Carmella fingered the chain before letting it drop gently back in its place. 　　
　　Smiling from ear to ear, Lillie-Rose pulled a small box from her pocket. Without even looking inside of the box, the two friends repeated their crazy whooping run. By the time they returned in front of her, Lillie Rose had already put the ring on her finger. 　　
　　"I love it." Carmella caressed the diamonds with her index finger. "This is one awesome design. Two heart shaped diamonds, and does the crown in the middle of one heart mean he's your prince charming?" 　　
　　"I believe so. No," Lillie-Rose pressed her hand to her chest, covering her heart. "I know he is." 　　　　Both women wrapped their arm around Lillie-Rose. 　
　　　"I'm so happy for you."
      "Me too. I think Franklin is going to propose to me tonight." 　
　　　"Really, how do you know?" 　
　　　"Yes. I can tell by the way he's been acting. Since tomorrow is Valentine's day I'm cooking a meal at home tonight so he can plan whatever he wants to do for tomorrow. I think it's something big." 　　
　　"I get that impression from Bernard, too. He's been secretive and the way they all have suddenly started hanging out together...gives me goosebumps, just wondering what they're planning. Maybe they have a special dinner all set up." 　
　　"I hope so. Wouldn't it be nice if we all get engaged this weekend and then we could help plan each other's wedding."

Do You Compromise for Love? #romance Eartha Kitt's Opinion

What is your opinion on compromising for love? Do you give up yourself and your beliefs for the love of another? As a woman, do you feel it is your duty in life to be the one to give in on your ideals in order to secure the place in the heart of the man who professes to be in love with you or do you love your self enough to stand strong?

 I have a little bit of a hard time with those questions, I think compromising or agreeing on different opinions in a relationship is a good thing because no two people think or feel the same, I just don't believe you should totally change for another. Eventually, that mold you have poured yourself into will crack and the real you will come out.

 I love this interview with Eartha Kitt, a woman who states her mind. It would be the epitome of a love story to love yourself before trying to love someone else or have them love you.

Scenes From a Break Up- Part 3 Franklin & Carmella #romance #romanceinblack #amreading

Interlude Stay-Scenes of a Breakup

 Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, misunderstandings can cause heartache. It is the hope in the ones we love, the belief in the relationship we thrive for, that will illuminate and correct the problem in the end. Musical Selection:"Stay" by Rihanna feat. Mikky Ekko

Scene 3

 Carmella: Devastated and heart broken follows her dream as he prepares to leave her for good.

Franklin climbed into the driver's seat of his car and pulled the door shut before rolling down the window. He'd walked out of Carmella's house and hadn't turned back as she called out behind him. He was tired. For weeks they'd dated or rather met each other around town because Carmella wasn't sure she could trust him yet.

He watched her as she approached slowly, her fingers twisting and untwisting around and into each other, bottom lip pouting and trembling, a solitary tear resting on the tip of her lower lashes. This was the hardest thing he'd ever done in life, but it had to be done. As much as he wanted to grab her up and hold her in his arms, he had to back away and let her figure out what she wanted with her future. He could no longer pretend he didn't care as much as he really did. Stifling his urges, his passion, his love, was breaking his heart. He had to call the relationship off. ~

Carmella heard the words Franklin was saying, but couldn't comprehend. She could see his lips moving, but her mind was blocking out her ability to put the sentences in any logical context. What was he saying? She shook her head to clear the fog, but it didn't help. She no more wanted to hear him than she wanted to hear what he was saying. Was he really saying they should break-up?

 "What are you saying?" Her voice came out in barely a whisper. "I'm saying this is not working for me. I can't keep coming here day in and out and not know how I will find you. What frame of mind will you be in? Will you love me or will you push me away? I can't take it anymore. I can't be the toad you kick around because you aren't ready to have a prince in your life. I've been telling you this for days now. Call me when you're ready to stop thwarting my every effort to make this relationship work. Carmella watched as he drove off slowly. So slow, she could have run after him and stopped him. She could have reached out and grabbed the door handle before he left the drive. When the brake lights brightened she released her breath, so sure he was returning, only to catch her breath again at the sight of a squirrel darting safely between the tires as he drove out of sight. She pressed her palm to her chest in the hope of steadying her aching heart.

Tears rolled down her face as she whispered softly to the empty sky, "I want you to stay."

I Wanna Know What Love Is. #romance #romanceinblack

Have you ever heard that song?

I'm just like that singer, I want you to tell me....In your opinion, in an adult relationship, what is love?

Does it mean someone loves you because they give you something?
Is it the touch, the feel (dang that cotton commercial just went through myhead) of the person you adore, being close to you?
Are the words they say the catalyst to making your heart run all pitter patter and out of control?
 How long does it take for you to know you're in love?


Do you search for love because of the emotions evoked from a song or movie?

I asked the guys from Tripping Prince Charming, received sweet answers about the love of their lady fair's voice, eyes, the typical  responses , but I want to know what you think. What is love?

She calls Tripping Prince Charming, A Modern Fairytale #romance

What is your opinion of book reviews?

Honestly,  to me they are the epitome of giving candy to a child...I love candy.

Check out my newest piece from an avid reader.

I enjoyed this book with the 3 interwoven love stories. My favorite character, Lillie-Rose, reminded me of many women I know and she felt like a truly believable person.

I found  myself rooting for the guys more than the girls and was very surprised by some of the honest dialogue that the male characters had.
 It was refreshing and gave me hope. The historical aspects placed strategically throughout the book were informative as well as entertaining. All in all Tripping Prince Charming was a great read. I always enjoy a grown-up and modern fairy tale. Ey Wade, I look forward to more titles from you in the future and will be going back to read your other works as well. Thank you for sharing your characters with the world!Yes,I love candy

You Need a Little Love in Your Life #romance #trippingprincecharming

How do you handle it when your best friend thinks she knows exactly what you need in life?
Often, and without our knowledge, friends see our love life and relationships as a playing field that they control. Ivy gets a kick out of pretending she's the world's best matchmaker.

</ a>

Every time she looked in Lillie-Rose's direction, Ivy smiled. She couldn't wait for her cynical friend to meet Nathaniel.
Within the few weeks she'd come to know him, she knew he was the guy for Lillie-Rose. They had the same critical sense of humor, but that was where the similarity disappeared, Where Lillie-Rose pretended to be tough, Nathaniel was the epitome of the protective dependable male. Just what Lillie-Rose needed, a prince who would stand by her side and be the husband she'd always secretly wanted? Lillie-Rose walked around the flower shop tinkering with the small items on the shelves. The frequent sideways glance she was receiving from her friend was making her a little nervous. "What are you smiling about Ivy? Each time I've looked up, you're looking at me and smiling. Is it Bernard? Are you so in love you can't see anything but rainbows and butterflies? The love bug has surely eaten a hunk out of you."

Ivy laughed. "I guess you could say that. It's funny, but I see the potential for love all around."

"I'm sure you do. From the gushy phone calls I was getting from you and Carmella, you both seem to have cornered the market while I was away these past three weeks."
 "If you only knew the half of it, you would want to be a part of the love fest." Lillie-Rose chuckled nervously. The gleam in her friend's eyes that she had mistakenly labeled love, now shone for what it really was the freakin', painfully conniving glare of the match maker. "I'll learn it from watching the two of you. Not everyone in life needs to experience love, Ivy."

 "Ah, but Lee you'll miss so much." Trying to ignore her friend's look of enthusiasm, Lillie-Rose focused her vision on what was in her hand and almost choked. She hurriedly replaced the small statue of a couple kissing, onto the shelf before moving away to sit on the edge of the desk. "Looks like you're up to something, Ivy and I don't like it." Pointing her finger in her friend's direction, she squint her left eye. "If you're about to pull one of your famous match-making fails, stop right now."

"Come-on Lee, just think..."

Lillie-Rose immediately shut her mind to what her friend was saying. The last thing she wanted to be was ‘fixed up' with another one of Ivy's date rejects. Especially when her every free, thinking space of her mind was filled with the image of a beautiful knight standing under a tree.

 For three weeks she'd prepared files, succeeded in balancing accounts for clients, all of the time chewing her nails in anticipation for her return home so she could finally question Ivy about the beautiful man on the mountain. If anyone would know anything it would be Ivy. Just the thought made her smile, her fantasy interrupted by the sudden squealing peal of Ivy's voice.

 "What? What happened?"
 "Oh Lee, you don't know how happy this makes me. You won't regret it."
 I'm regretting it already and I don't even know what I've done."

 "You agreed to meet a friend of mine. He should be…."

"No, I didn't." Lillie-Rose's quick denial was brushed aside by Ivy's infectious giggle.

Yes, you did. I was telling you about him and you were smiling and nodding…"

"No, stop. We're not going through that kind of thing again."

"Wait, before we get into the conversation, I have to run to the back. It won't take me a minute. You think you can watch the shop until I get back?"

"Not a problem."

"There might be, Branson and the stupid brothers will be here to drop off a delivery. Try to get them to bring the load to the greenhouse. I've been having a lot of issues with my thick headed brothers, but I know you can make Branson see the way."
 "Will do." Lillie-Rose agreed happily, she'd do anything to get her friend out of the room and off the subject of a possible blind date. "I'll just sit behind the desk and rest, but don't take too long. I came here straight from the airport because I have something I wanted to ask you."

 "Okay, I just have to grab a couple of things."she hurriedly left the room. From the vantage point she'd had on the opposite side of the flower shop, she was privy to the view directly outside the building's windows. The sight of Nathaniel parking his truck was the catalyst she needed to get her little plan on the roll. :-a

Something is in the Air~ Tripping Prince Charming

Ivy held back a little.

“What’s so important I don’t have time to speak to my own parent’s but you could? I thought something serious had happened. You never call out for lunch. You scared me.”

“You should have gotten here sooner.” Lillie-Rose pulled her friend a little further, releasing her arm when they were nearer the bridge to their favorite spot, Dreamtree.

“Sooner?” Ivy screeched in indignation. “I dropped everything when you called and rushed out here. Scared something had happened to you or my parents.”

“Sorry about that.” Lillie-Rose stopped in the middle of the bridge, pulled a petal from one of the many buckets of Daisies, dropped it into the pond and moved to the other side of the bridge. As she followed the petals journey through the flow of water she apologized to Ivy. “I didn’t mean to frighten you, but you are a little dramatic.” She looked over her shoulder as her friend joined her in their ritual.

“You know you only tossed in one petal, Lillie-Rose.” Ever observant, Ivy stood with her hands on her hips and a small smile on her lips.

“You’re delusional, Ivy.” Lillie-Rose laughed. “The other one is coming. See, it’s just slow. You must….”

“No,” Ivy cut off the rest of her sentence. “That one is mine. You know we always through in two. Love me, love me not. Got something to tell us?”

“You’ll just have to wait and see.”

Lillie-Rose skipped off the bridge with Ivy quickly following behind. Immediately age was forgotten as they laughed and giggled down the path and through the professionally designed and landscaped fairy filled fantasy forest. The purposely left tall ferns and plots of wildflowers brushed their legs, leaving pollen stains in their wake. They played hide and seek and tag among the life sized, colorful statues of animals and varied positioned winged people. Their cold marble flesh providing them the perfect hiding places from each other and the bees trying to stay out of their way.

Running through a flutter of butterflies and batting away the tickle the soft wings caused across their cheeks, they stopped short at the sight of Carmella lying on the huge wrought iron bench. That smile on her face, a sure sign of having lovely thoughts. The outright giggle, a definite affirmative the woman was in a good mood.

~

"What's so funny Carmella?"

Lillie-Rose poked Carmella's shoulder with her pointer finger.

"Not a thing." Carmella sat up in surprise and looked into the eyes of her friends. She hadn't heard them approaching.

"She’s probably thinking about Franklin, who else?"

 Ivy flopped down in the middle of the flowers at the base of the tree house and began weeding. Lillie-Rose studied the bemused smile on Carmella's face and the twinkle in her eyes before sitting on the heavy iron bench next to her.

"Yup Ivy, by the look in her eyes, I think you're right. Got something you want to share, Carmella?"

Carmella stood, straightened her clothes before removing her sandals and stepping on to the low retaining wall surrounding the statue of the fallen prince. Slowly, walking with her arms spread wide she tried to keep her balance as she moved from the toes of the prince to his chest. Swinging her right leg over to straddle it, she sat on his stomach before answering.

"Don't worry about me Lillie-Rose we're here because of you. What's on your mind?"

"That's what I'm wondering." Ivy moved closer to her friends, dropped to the ground and immediately dug her fingers into the soil. "It's not like she ever wants to hang with us anymore. Rarely calls, never comes out to play." She laughed.

Shifting her position to lay on the bench, the coolness of the metal seeping through the thin material of her blouse and making her shiver slightly. Lillie Rose watched her friends giggling and slapping at each other like little kids unable to hold the secret they have on one another. She wiggled her fingers in Ivy’s direction before closing her eyes.

"Maybe it's because you always want to play in the dirt, little Miss Ivy Gardiner."

"Ha, maybe it’s because you have a new playmate and you don't have any time for us."

"Ha, or maybe it’s because you have a new playmate that plays different kinds of games.”

Ivy and Carmella scoffed and laughed loudly before stating their own opinions between giggles.

 “And they aren’t the kind of games you can play with us."

Reaching down to grab a handful of four leaf clovers, Lillie-Rose threw them in her friends’ direction the gentle breeze swirling and floating the petals over and releasing them on their heads, Ivy and Carmella laughed delightedly.

"You aren't funny. Besides," Lillie-Rose closed her eyes again. "I was just with you in Beaumont.'

"You noticed she didn't deny having a new playmate."

"Oh, I noticed alright."

Lillie-Rose opened one eye at Ivy's tone. The other woman smiled smugly, the hint of the knowledge of a secret, evident in her tones.
