Many thought Tasha ravishingly beautiful; she thought they were blind to her true assets. Tasha wanted more; she had a plan to progress her goal.
Today her heels beat a staccato tattoo on waxed wood floors, announcing her arrival. Heads turned to follow her and then shook dismayed as she made her way toward the double doors. Tasha pushed with just the right pressure, collective breaths caught upon seeing her standing framed in the doorway.
“You can’t be here”, the older man said as he stood.
“Bitch!” A young woman mumbled.
“Daddy, I only want to meet the family.”

SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!! Ughh,,,I love your writing. You always take me places my mind would never go without you. I really REALLY liked this
love you
Thank you my dear friend. Lets say, my flash does this, others might not I was bad today. 😉
Love you back with hugs
You were surely NOT bad…sassy perhaps, but never bad…and always appropriate.
❤
Sad, but quite relevant in today’s world
Isn’t it just Ian. One must wonder how why she waited so long.
Seems the family doesn’t see beneath the surface either. Good for her for shaking up Daddy and the family. You’re so terrific at these, Val. There’s always a twist but it’s so s-m-o-o-t-h.
Thank you my friend. Isn’t it always those surface issues that get us, when all we need to do is just scratch a bit to see what is beneath.
; D
Just because a package if wrapped with pretty paper, doesn’t mean an unexpected surprise might be found inside, not what’s expected.
Superb.
I could see everything. Xx
Seems there is a small problem in this family, wonder what her plan is; don’t you?
Love the sound of this family – a touch of Dynasty perhaps
A touch of something, they do seem a bit dysfunctional don’t they?
Damn, I wish I could do this as well as you! Nice work.
Hope you’re doing well, Val. Sorry to have been away. Been busy working on my memoir. Excuses, excuses! Right? I’ve missed you.
Hugs,
Kathy
Oh Kathy, I am so glad to see you! Any excuse, doesn’t matter just happy to see you today. Hope all is well and you are settling in.
I suspect if you had the time, you would blow my little efforts right out of the water.
Hugs right back at you.
😉
Finally back to the ‘family’
What a family, you think my little dear might have been born on the wrong side of the blanket?
A reality show in the making.
Now there is a thought.
Amazing how you can lasso family dynamics in a heartbeat!
I was thinking the very same thing!
Carrie, hi there! How is your summer holiday?
Good. Thank you. Making some nice progress. 🙂
I am giggling, families are such interesting groups, aren’t they?
Yes. And one of the most common reasons for murder!
Ah, Elyse are you saying we should lose our minds so easily?
I’m saying that we do, not that we should!
Ah, very important definition there. I will keep it in mind next time I speak to one of my crazier making relatives.
O’Henry would be proud of your writing!
Why thank you! Your comment made me smile.
Some family —– it would seem.
Some family indeed. Makes you wonder doesn’t it?
