Deep In The Mud

"There is only one happiness in this life and that is to be loved" - George sand Aurora has always been the 'unattractive, unattainable' girl throughout her whole life. No man has ever approached her with the intention of courting her, rather they approached her to learn more about her best friend. She was better known as a 'DUFF'. But now with her best friend dead and a baby depending on her, she finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage that will test and strengthen her character. Like most 21st century women, she views herself as a feminist. One who doesn't believe in love. She views love as a Capitalist movement created to control unsuspecting minds while breaking their bank accounts. But she finds herself falling in love with a man. Not just any man, her friends boyfriend who also happens to be her husband.

And you wouldn't guess where they took a freshly turned twenty one year and twenty year old. Gold Reef City. Not that l was complaining but l was surprised because my mom has never been an adrenaline junky, and she always disliked that part of me that my father always nurtured because he too is the same

"Gold Reef" my brother screamed when he saw the park from the freeway already assured that that is where we were going.

"what are you, twelve?" l asked making fun of him when l too on the inside was doing somersaults. The excitement was driving me over the edge

"look who is talking, the overgrown baby who is incapable of finding her own boyfriend" he says and that ladies and gentlemen is my brother pre breakup. That is how we talk to each other
