The World I Crave!

It's a planet where nature is given a chance at life,
A system where the rich and poor are treated equally; males and females are given opportunities of existence,
A universe where justice knows no bounds, and faces no threats,

It's a conglomerate where everyone's opinions and culture are respected; and the gap of racism dwells in a state of oblivion,
A world where the shackles and fetters of inhumanity lie broken,
A nation where morality and chastity are upheld; crime and decadence contemptuously treated and crusaded against,
A situation where integrity and honesty are virtues extolled, and principles lived by,

It's a condition where the dignity of labor is emphasized, and diligence rewarded,
A society where freedom of speech, and choice are inviolable rights; and our daughters are not forced into the nuptial cycle and denied education,
A country where our sons are taught to treat their sisters with honor, and not inferiority,
A generation where the voice of the poor man is not drowned by the waters of brutality, and political oppression.
Such is The World I Crave!

CHAPTER FIVE

BREAK-UP

MONDAY, OCTOBER, 2. 19:00hrs.

     Naomi has been discharged from the hospital with the doctor advising she sticks to her medications, and stays away from emotional stress and situations capable of raising her blood pressure. Henry couldn’t return to Virginia after a week following Naomi’s illness. Naomi had been to Jerry’s place to pay him a visit. Jerry was elated and immediately got drinks for them both.

             “It’s an honor having a queen like you under my roof. You are most welcome” he said in a gentleman’s manner.

             “The pleasure is mine” the ever ravishing Naomi replied.

     While they were drinking, Jerry offered to play a movie with some sex scenes. Shortly after, Jerry was drawing closer to Naomi. He began moving his hands up her skirt revealing her luscious thighs. Emotions soon ran wild for Naomi as he gently fondled her breasts. They began kissing passionately and hungrily. Naomi was giving in and falling, their bodies calling. The course was getting frightening and the ships were sinking. An experienced captain was needed to save the ships. Naomi was gradually being stripped.

 Someone was needed to turn off the power switches, but neither of them was willing. To worsen the situation, Jerry kept caressing her inner thighs. Thus sending pleasure pulses down her spine and arousing her sensuality. But in a twinkling of an eye, Naomi realized what was going on and quickly came back home. She slapped him, pushed him and yelled.

               “I don’t want to ever see you anywhere around me or my house again! It’s over between us!”

       She stomped out the suite and slammed the door.

               “I would have given her some more time” Jerry thought regretfully. Naomi soon went back to her shell, sulking every now and then.

               “For the past two months I’ve been with Henry. Not even a kiss from him, let alone his fondling my breasts and thighs. I should have known that Jerry was just interested in my body, to explore it and have a fill of it” Naomi thought silently as she lay on her bed. Meanwhile back at Henry’s home, Sophia the girl he helped paid him a visit.

            “Hi Henry, how are you. I got you some fruits. You’ll like them” Sophia said as she walked in.

           “Oh thanks. You see Sophia” he continued as he walked closer to her.

           “We’ve been friends for sometime now and I’ve always loved your company. I think I like you Sophia” he finished up as he attempted to kiss her. She pushed him away gently.

            “Look Henry. It’s wrong. I never had that in mind. I was only showing appreciation for all you did for me. Naomi loves you. I mean, she would not come all the way from Virginia to New York, looking for you, if she didn’t love you. You tell me, why would she be so jealous over you, as to be upset by merely seeing you and me, walk out of your room the other day, even without knowing what was going on, if she didn’t feel something for you.” “Point of correction, she didn’t come all the way from Virginia to New York looking for me. She is here for the summer vacation, and is her irritable and jealous attitude that got her upset the other day” Henry retorted. “Look, whatever; it takes someone who cares about you to pay you a visit. That means she thinks of you” “Think of me…How do you know she thinks of me?” Henry said stressing the ‘me’ to show he doubted Naomi’s feelings for him. “Oh Henry, let’s not argue about this” Sophie responded in a harsh tone, expressing slight anger over Henry’s attitude. Henry, it don’t matter what differences you may have had earlier, this girl really loves you, believe me.   Please go back to her, and here is a book I bought, I think you’ll like it. Read it and apply whatever you learn from it” she said as she handed him a book with the title, “Buy Me a Rose”. In it, he read the story of two teenage lovers that broke up but later got back together, because the boy choose to bury the hatchet between him and his girlfriend, and decided to love her more in spite of her imperfections. He also presented her with a rose and a love poem, two weeks after they were apart. Henry thought it a wise idea. But how well was it going to work he thought.

    The next morning he visited Naomi. With a rose flower in his hands and a poem, and kneeling before her, tears rolling down his cheek apologized.

              “I never meant to hurt you sweetheart, never meant to. I’m sorry for all I put you through. Please forgive me” he pleaded emotionally.

              “I forgive you baby and I’m sorry too. I love you baby” she responded tears in he eyes as she lifted him up, and collected the rose smelt it and read the poem, which read:

               “You are the love of my life,

                 The one I adore,

                 You are my jewel,

                  The one I cherish,

                 

                 You are my priceless treasure,

                  The one I love,

                  Your face radiates beauty,

                  Your eyes beam true love,

                 

                  Your lips speak fidelity,

                  And your heart bears tenderness,

                  Your kiss sends life down my spine,

                  Your touch soothes my nerves

                  Your beauty drowns my sorrows,

                  Your body profile is an embodiment of femininity

                   Your waist will pacify my manhood,

                   Your breast will feed leaders

                   And your womb will bear greatness

                   You are my soul mate,

                   The one that lightens up my world,

                   I love you.”

    Naomi’s emotions swelled like a fountain and she immediately drew him close and for the first time kissed him with so much passion. Unlike most teenagers, their first kiss was surrounded by a spectacular reunion. How powerful can kind words be?
