Billy, the owner of Kim's Kitchen, was a sport and paid us an extra dollar an hour so between hourly and tips I had been able to pay my half of the five hundred dollar a month rent. Not so bad, if she hadn't meant that night, and worse, stiffed me her half of the rent due the next day.īecause wait staff received tips, state law only required we be paid two fifty an hour. Former because she had dropped the bomb on me she was moving out to go live with her boyfriend. Up until two weeks ago, I had shared the cute little two-bedroom apartment with my former best friend Jen. Well now it was my own place, which was the problem. My grades were good I was responsible, reliable and had my own place.
A twisted tale of karma full#
I was a full time student worked four mornings a week at the diner, didn't party like many of my girlfriends, and was proud to be referred to as a prude rather than a slut by the asshole frat boys at school. I shouldn't have to after all I was a big believer in my namesake and had been doing all the right things. Toying with the locket my mother had given me four years ago on my sixteenth birthday I stared at the two suitcases on the floor, hoping I wouldn't need them. I sat on the couch waiting to hear the tell tale creak of the stairs signaling my landlords inevitable visit. On that note, keep in mind that being a bit of a romance it takes a while to get to the fun stuff.
"Home" was a very different story for me and I did not think I had another one in me, but my muse said otherwise and here is my second attempt to show off my softer side. Second point is ever since I wrote Home is Where The Heart is, people have been asking me to do another story that focused more on romance than taboo, or hardcore erotica. After the contest I pulled the story and am now releasing it under my name and in its proper category of Mature. We could not use our names and all stories went into the little read chain story category. A couple of months ago some lit authors got together for an anonymous writers challenge. One, if this story seems familiar to you, it is possible you have seen it before. I haven't written a review in almost two years but I feel I would have done this book an injustice if I didn't write one.Author's Note: Two things about this story. This is one of the best books that I have ever read. The book has the perfect word in the title and that is "KARMA" because what goes around comes back around. Qunada will go to any length to protect Myra. Milton is only interested in keeping Milton happy no matter how much it destroys Myra.ĭespite all of the changes in her life Myra has one constant and that is her best friend Quanda.
Myra's life takes a downward turn quickly. It seeems as if things are looking up until she meets a guy named Milton. Myra graduates at the top of her class and receives a full scholarship. This makes Myra's life more difficult.ĭespite all of her personal obstacles Myra still has the desire to do better and she does.
As if things couldn't get any worse she is sent to live with her grandmother after her mother's death. To begin with she has to deal with the abandonment of her father and her mother being addicted to drugs. Myra had a lot of obstacles to overcome at a very young age.
