Mixed Company - (live story) Chapter 7.0

SHAW BLACK Shaw stood in the shower allowing the scalding hot water to pound away at the mahogany flesh. This is ridiculous, he thought. He was in his early thirties, but today his body felt like that of his sixty-three year old grandfather. He ached from sternum to stem, the result of having taken one too many hits on the gridiron. His career may have been short-lived, but it had left its mark on his body and luckily his bank account. Shaw's business degree from U of M had come i… Continue

Mixed Company - (live story) Chapter 6.0

MERISSA CLARK Merissa was annoyed by the bead of sweat that slowly inched its way down the side of her pecan-brown face. Her right hand began to shake just a little and she wanted nothing more than to exhale. In that moment she became vaguely aware that for the past thirty seconds she had been holding her breath. Pull it together ‘Rissa. You were made for this. Now suck it up and do what you’ve been trained to do - save this man’s life, she silently scolded. Twenty-eight years old, Jonathan Moo… Continue

Mixed Company (live story blog) - Chapter 5

JaQUAN MARX JaQuan followed the photographer's direction and flashed a mouthful of pearly whites. He easily posed with every click of the camera, as if he was an old pro. And lately he was beginning to like the idea of fortune and fame. This photo shoot was for the cover of Essence Magazine and to promote his latest movie, Conspiracy. Some heavy-hitters in the industry were whispering about a possible Oscar nod. JaQuan ignored the rumors and played it smooth. He knew a black man receivin… Continue

Mixed Company (live story blog) - Chapter 4.0

Brenlyn Jones Brenlyn's sleep was interrupted by the young Korean woman who stretched like a lazy cat beside him. Opening his left eye, he starred at her half-naked body and drew a blank. Maybe the benefit of both eyes were needed to put a name with the beautiful oval-shaped face that rested on his $200 pillow covers. With his eyes wide open and blood-shot, he had no clue who she was. Brenlyn turned to glance at the alarm clock. It was 11:26 in the morning and he had a 12:00 rachet ball… Continue

Mixed Company (live story blog) - Chapter 3

ALEXIS 'LEXI' COLEMAN Alexis Coleman was joyously dancing around her loft in a soft pink bra and a pair of Boo-Boo Kitty boy shorts. She had just received the call that would officially launch her fashion career. Serge had predicted it, she had prayed for it, and others had hoped. Now it was soon to be a reality. She was going to be showing for New York Fashion week. If she hadn't been afraid of leaving an ugly mark, she would have pinched herself. All the years of working for other designers,… Continue

Mixed Company (live story blog) - Chapter 2.1

I stomped back to my cubicle as irritated as ever. Thanks a lot Jason. His decision to abruptly end our relationship had driven me to distraction. I was usually a person on top of things. Always early for appointments, submitting assignments before they were due, and proactively making moves. But the last two weeks had reeked havoc on my usual routines. He had really thrown me for a curve and I wanted to rip out his jugular with vice grips because of it. Jason, my clueless boyfriend, mys… Continue

Mixed Company (live story blog) - Chapter 2.0

Two months prior.... The day the invitation arrived had been hectic. My editor was on my back about a mushy pre-Valentine's day story that was overdue. Moss Clark was nice enough, but she was all business, so when she politely called me into her office I knew it wasn't to eat crumpets over a spot of tea. Two minutes into her tirade about the importance of meeting deadlines and how she'd put her neck on the line by hiring a novice writer and how I needed to carry my weight - blah, blah, blah, I… Continue

Mixed Company (live story blog) - Chapter One

The last thing I remembered before passing out was the sheer pain of fire set ablaze in my shoulder. I have never been a wimp or whuss, but there was something about being shot that caused me to sissy-up like John Leguizamo in To: Wong Foo. As adventurous as I was I had managed to avoid serious injuries like broken arms or legs, cracked pelvises, or even spinal-neck injuries - so I guess I was allowed an ounce of fear when the flying bullet made contact with my flesh. Luckily, my companion-on-t… Continue
