LIFE AS IT IS: AN EYE!

An Eye
Chapter One
Present

“A child for a child”.

That's what the printed note had said.

I trace my hands across it, letter by letter, word for word and that's when everything came rushing in.

*May 2014*

The first time Sarah met Jeremy Smith, she had just finished high school and had been working in a confectionery shop. In previous years, she had dreamt about going to college, maybe on a scholarship because there was no damm fuckin'way her mother could afford it.

Sarah had lived with her mother, her twin brother and her drunkard of a father and while she had loved being close to her twin,she had prayed every to find a way to live the hellhole she had called a house. She hadn't called it a home, home they said was where the heart was and Sarah heart had left that dump ago. She had been a 'A'student, spending most of time studying probably because she hadn't really friends,but then puberty had hit in and the lanky girl had turn into a woman with all right curves. The boys had swarm in like bees and even though she knew her priority was college, she had been able to resist the attention she got and the pleasure she felt.

And that's how she started flunking her classes, at first she hadn't been able to see it, but then when she had realized her mistakes, it had been too late and the chance of leaving the dump she had been brought up in had passed.

So she started working at the shop, high school was over and most of the people she had partied with were in college probably because their parents could afford it and there she was, working and still going back to the house she had vowed to live.

Her brother had left one day and truthfully she had been bitter about it. He didn't even have the courtesy of saying it to her face, he had left saying he was going to join a group of truckers that drove across the country. Most times, she had wanted to live to and had only stayed because of him. Okay, maybe she would have left if she had a way to survive out there but she wouldn't have gone without talking to him and not in a note.

Then Jeremy had came into the picture, and God's truth, she had knew he was married. Everyone in town knew who Jeremy Smith was and she hadn't been an exception. But it had felt so good to be seen.

He hadn't been flirting with her. He had came to the shop once in a while, mostly whenever he was going home from work and he would stop by to buy ice cream for his daughters. She knew he had gotten married to his high school sweetheart and they had five daughters together. And whenever he stopped by, he would engage her in a conversation while she carried out his orders and for those moments, she felt cherished that someone was concerned about her well being, someone wanted to know how she was doing and it made her feel good and then started to fantasize; how it was her he was coming home to and their kids he was buying things for.

It was all she spent most of her days doing, fantasizing about him and on a particular Saturday, her fantasy turn to reality.

LIFE AS IT IS- VOWS

Vow's When he approached home, he was full of remorse. All he felt within him was sadness. And apologies, all he had constructed on his way back home. He was going to start with the gift he had bought and then go down on his knees. He would plead until she forgave him and this time he promised himself, this time things would be alright. He opened the door with care. Moving quietly, not doing anything that would disturb her. When he entered, it was silent. Their house had never been silent. It was either she was cooking while humming to herself or listening to her favorite artists. Songs of Lana Del Rey and Halsey. Most times she would sing along and one couldn't help but feel the longing in her voice. Those times, he had felt sobered. Not knowing how to help, not matter how much he had tried. This time it was not what he expected, and even though he didn't want to admit it to himself, it felt peaceful. Once upon a time, their life had been like a fairy tale. N...

FASHION TABLE WITH STEPHANIE: HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS

 HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS  So last week when talking on how to get the perfect fit, the first thing on our list was "taking accurate measurements". Being the nice and helpful person I am, I've taken the time out to list the basic measurements we need for a simple dress and how to take these measurements accurately. Ideally, you should be measured wearing only your undergarments.  However, a close-fitting clothing will be fine.  Do NOT measure yourself or a client that's wearing jeans, sweats, or other bulky clothing.  It DOES make a difference fam. The body is made of soft tissue, so it can be a bit difficult to know exactly how tight to pull the tape around the body. The tape should be a bit snug, but not tight - it should not "dig in" or make an indentation in the body.  It should not be loose, either!  Just wrap the tape around the area of the body being measured and hold it in place.  You should be able to put a finger behind th...
