Acknowledgments

This book is dedicated to

my beloved mother,

For without your unconditional love and support

I would still be an undetermined question mark.

Thank you for loving me beyond my diagnosis and limitations.

I am, because you are.

Love You Always and Forever,

Mesha

In loving memory of my Middle School Aide

Mrs. Ruth Elaine Wood

Where Alzheimer’s may have erased the memory of our laughs

They will forever live in my heart until we share them in Heaven.

Love,

Myesha

Prologue

…Fresh air and turquoise aquatic water tidal waving through the crystal-white sand of Rabbit Beach, Lampedusa, Italy. Warm golden sun beaming down placing one foot in front of the other, as she walked toward the distinguished male silhouette dressed in a crisp white dress shirt and matching khakis… standing there… patiently awaiting with his hand extended.

This is just the beginning. He said with a voice that grabbed and held my attention like no other.

The beginning of what…? she whispered as she hoped to finally have that dream come true moment.

Walking off the tall distinguished male specimen appears to be approaching an altar. Standing there in complete silence while displaying a heart-palpitating smile, his strikingly handsome deep features were blurred by the sun causing her to only dream of him in… bunp… bunp… bunp…

Good Morning Beautiful!… sound the alarm clock.

CHAPTER ONE

ENTRY No. 146

Happiness comes in many forms therefore

When considering a mate one must be open and true with what Constitutes and fulfills their TRUE state of Happiness.

Before he/she says YES

Make sure he/she understands and

In agreement to saying NO!

Where opposites may attract

There has to be some kind of compatibility

To assure a promising balance.

If he/she cares, He/she will care.

If he/she appreciates the fact that you may not be perfect

But your intentions are good; your heart is pure,

Your growth is consistent and your Love is true,

KEEP Him/Her.

Love vs. Lustful Lovers Vol. 1 by Makayla V. Monticlaire

As Makayla Monticlaire backed her wheelchair into the entrance elevator at Harrison Memorial Hospital (the newest and most innovative medical facility in Indianapolis) heading to the Rehabilitation Floor she suddenly heard a deep baritone voice say, Excuse me Miss., making her surprisingly aware that she was not the only occupant in the elevator. Oops, I am so sorry, I didn’t hit you did I? Makayla replied looking back over her shoulder covering her mouth trying to stifle her giggle as she sees one humorous yet striking sight, aka: A CLOWN!

Tyler, Xavier Tyler that is…or Mister Bubbles for now, the smooth baritone replied.

Mister Bubbles…? Makayla giggled as she blushed.

Therapeutic Clown Extraordinaire at you service Madame. Xavier replied as he smiled, causing his deep dimples to appear in his cheeks.

Oh, I see. So why are you not in the Children’s Wing? asked Makayla

I have been summoned. Xavier responded as he bowed and came up with a dust mop of flowers in his hand from behind his back. Summoned to be of service by way of humorous distraction, as he handed Makayla the bouquet.

Why thank you your Royal Clowness, but it’s kinda late in the day isn’t it? Makayla questioned as she glanced at his watch as he handed her the bouquet.

Yes, one could say it may be; but apparently, we have a little princess due to have her cast removed and a diversion is much needed in hopes to make the procedure a little less frightening … And your name please?

Makayla, Makayla Monticlaire, and as adorable as you are Mr. Tyler, I feel bad for the kid who’s not a fan of the saw … Mister flower bearing, amazing smile, ever so kind Mr. Clown!

So I take it Ms. Miss., Mrs. Monticlaire that you’re not a fan of the cast removal saw?

It’s Ms. Monticlaire and that would be an understatement Mr. Tyler! Makayla snickered.

Suddenly Makayla became very quiet; appreciatorily approving everything she could see and hear beyond his festive circus attire. His distinctive firm jaw line accented by a precisely trimmed goatee that matched the jet-black locs of soft curls peeking through the wig at the nape of his neck. However, it was his eyes that jumped out at you. Those warm, rich, deep chocolate brown eyes, so dark they appeared black… they were beautiful, no not beautiful, perfect… like a piece of coal with a sparkle from the diamond that lied within.

Excuse me… Xavier said, lightly tapping her on the shoulder, awakening Makayla from the hypnotic trance she had momentary slipped into.

Huh…? Makayla replied as she transcended back to reality.

We have reached our destination, ladies first. said, the deep baritone with a smile.

Oh thanks, I didn’t see the door opening. replied Makayla.

No problem, Maa-kayla… correct?

Yes, it’s Makayla Makayla replied with a blushing smile, and thanks again Mr. Tyler.

Xavier, please feel free to call me Xavier! Xavier commented as he held the elevator door open for Makayla to exit.

Will do Xavier, will… do! Makayla replied with the smile that spoke for itself.

J ust A Little Bit More

CHAPTER TWO

As Makayla began to stroll down the long corridor she pretended to study the abstract paintings. The same paintings she has viewed countless times before; anything to keep from staring at the aesthetically pleasing pedestrian at her side. However, the façade was pointless, because when she merely glanced in his direction, she noticed he was indeed watching her as well.

So what brings a beautiful lady like yourself here this 3rd day of June? Xavier asked startling Makayla.

Simply running errands and you…? Oh and by the way, you are aware there’s a law against stalking… right? Makayla laughed.

Yes ma’am, Xavier answered with a flirtation smirk as he slightly tilted his head, licked his bottom lip and smiled with a jester of approval at the effortless beauty that sat before him. I’m sure that it is, BUT it’s not considered stalking if you’re merely making certain a beautiful young lady arrives at her destination safe, sound and in good company…? A gentlemen’s way, or do I stand to be corrected?

…Buzz, Buzz… Xavier’s phone began to sound off as he replies, Excuse me, I have to take this call.

No worries, thanks for the smile, have a great day! Makayla said with a hint of hesitation, not wanting the conversation to end as she begin to turn and make her way to meet her best friend Emily down the hall in the Physical Therapy Department.

Hopefully I’ll see you around. Xavier made mention as he smiled, dimples and all.

…Buzz, Buzz… Xavier’s phone goes off again!

Sure, but for now you may need to take that call, someone’s getting impatience. replied Makayla, see you another time Xavier Makayla snickered.

Will do Makayla, take care. ...Buzz, Buzz… Xavier checks the incoming caller’s name to see it’s his favorite cousin and best friend Ernest J., better known as the one and only, E.

Xavier’s right hand man without a doubt, his ride or die! Cousins by blood (brothers’ kids) best friends by choice! When there was no other, there was Lil’ Dougie and E. Born 5 days apart. Xavier P. Tyler Sr. aka Lil Dougie, October 19th and Ernest J. Tyler aka E. October 24th, dem Tyler boyz, hanging like wet clothes since birth!

Wassup up E.?

Nothing much Lil’ Dougie, why didn’t you answer the phone bro you know when E. calls E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G stops! E.’s laughing so hard that he tickles himself! But Naw seriously man you good? …took you a minute to answer the phone and dude please don’t tell me you’re stressing! Fire the brotha, hire another and keep it moving?

Yeah I’m good, just hate letting a brotha with a family go like that but hey, it is what it is! Okay, let’s squash this conversation, it’s getting depressing… moving on…when you called I was actually talking to a fine little chick-a-Dougie and I know this is going to sound strange but I believe I was talking to my WIFE! Xavier shared with E.

WIFE…? Man c’mon now, that’s a little deep even for you, where did all this come from? …You cocktailing this early? replied E.

Come on now E. let’s be real you know I don’t even get down like that! answered Xavier.

Well something’s up?! E. answered unsure of what was going on with Xavier’s frame of mind.

Seriously E., when I looked into her eyes I saw my wife! Can’t explain it and I have never felt it before, but it was clear as day! …Why are we talking about this man, back to the call, what’s up? inquired Xavier seeing that he himself couldn’t quite explain what he felt.

Imma say it again, that’s some deep stuff right there Dougie but if you say she’s the girl, I’m with you… what we wearing and where’s her crew…? Now, what you got going on this evening? E. asked.

You know I, no WE have an 8:30 meeting with the Board of Directors in the morning. Xavier reminded E.

I didn’t ask you about in the morning; like I’m not going to be there, I asked you about tonight! What are you doing TONIGHT, Xavier P.? E. asked for the third time.

Why E., what’s up? Xavier replied.

Whiskey and Wings Wednesday at ShoNoTel, I’m headed that way after work. E. answered.

I’m there! What time and the bar tab’s on me tonight! Xavier replied.

My Dawg…! It’s poppin’ off at 6:00pm.! Know that the honeys are plentiful and the drinks are light, see you there, come prepared and PLEASE leave your WIFE at home! laughed E. as he end the call.

Xavier laughed because E. was a bona fide fool with a gregarious personality, larger than life and if you wanted a problem out of Lil’ Dougie, cross E! and heaven nor hell could help you! And vice versa!

W hoodee Who!

CHAPTER THREE

As Makayla maneuvered her chair to the PT Room she noticed she never heard a footstep, no not one footstep via Mr. Xavier Tyler walking away, tickled and feeling all giggly inside, all the while thinking how refreshing it was to meet a new face. A new handsome face that posses charm, confidence and a sense of humor, yet no signs of arrogance; YES! As Makayla begin to turn the corner to enter into the PT Room she took a quick glance back and there he was, standing there leaning against the wall, on the phone cracking up, thoroughly enjoying his conversation!

Hey Em, I’m here! said Makayla smiling from ear to ear as she announces her arrival.

Hi Boo, WHAT, you’re on time? Emily joked due to Makayla’s on time always being 10 to 15 minutes late. Have a seat over there for just a minute while I finish up with this precious little princess! Emily said to her bestie, Makayla.

Okay, she’s beautiful, with her little bitty tiny self. Makayla replied as she looked over to the young lady sitting in the seat next to the matted platform table. Is that your daughter?

Yes it is… my baby girl and thank you. replied the young lady in a very pleasant manner. Well she’s a doll baby and she’s dressed sooooo adorable! I can’t wait to have a little goddaughter or son!

Hold on Miccee, let me get down the aisle first! laughed Emily, Oh and by the way, Makayla this is Angela Knight and her 3 year old daughter, Angel and Angela this is my BEST friend from Elementary into Middle School and on onto Grad School, Makayla Monticlaire better known as Miccee to those near and dear because she can BLOW! Even though she never sings unless she’s feeling it!

Glad to meet you Angela and THEY think I can blow, for me, I simply carry a decent tune. Makayla added with a blushing smile.

And likewise Makayla, I’ve heard a lot about you from Emily, she’s truly one of your biggest fans. From what she has shared, you seem to be an awesome friend; and sing, I’m sure you can SANG! Embrace your gift because everybody did NOT get the gift of song and believe me I know, I’m a regular at the karaoke spots! laughed Angela.

Okay Miccee let me run go grab my keys so you can get the dresses and meet me at ThomasAnderson at 4 o’clock. Not 4:10 or 4:15, FOUR o’clock Miccee! You know you are notorious for running late! said Emily in laughter as she unlocked the small locker in her office to grab her extra key to give to Makayla.

I got you, 4 O’CLOCK it is! As a matter of fact, I’ll be there at 3:59 and I’m so sure! I’m willing to put a wavier on it, I’m that sure! Makayla said.

Really, oh it’s on girlfriend! Emily laughed, Today, the 3rd day of June meet me at ThomasAnderson’s at FOUR O’CLOCK or you sing in front of a crowd! My choice of location and I get to pick the date!

It’s a BET and when I win DO KNOW that I WILL name the first born of the Charleston and Emily Carmichael Family! Oh and Em, don’t let me forget to tell you about the clown I met on the elevator just a minute ago. Nice, smooth and tall glass of CHOCOLET water!

MAKAYLA NO, not the CLOWN! Now you know Mrs. Juanita of JGordon’s has told us for YEARS to shoot for the CROWN, not the CLOWN!

No seriously Em, he’s all that plus some but I gotta go grab the dress and get to Mrs. Norma’s for my alteration, we’ll talk later oh and I’ll think of baby names on the drive! Emily Colton please be prepared because you are going to LOSE! Love you girl and see you at 3:59pm.!

Makayla makes it to Mrs. Norma’s to have her dress trimmed and hemmed to accommodate her not only sitting in her chair for the wedding but to assure that when she stands for Emily’s entrance her connection from ground to foot is solid without any chance of her standing on her dress causing a problem via the ceremony. Mrs. Norma nails it again.

Makeya? You look boutiful! Mrs. Norma stated with a beautiful smile and a very heavy Honduran accent, When you get married? You very boutiful girl, come from good family. You get marry and I can make you boutiful dress! With much love and appreciation for her amazing seamstress Makayla extended her arms and embraced the tiny talent that can take an idea from within your head and create a masterpiece that would stand up to any of the designers in Hollywood with a heartfelt hug and replied, Mrs. Norma I love you so much! I’m not sure when I’m going to meet my Mr. Right but I pray that I am ready when God sends him my way. BUT, I did meet a charming clown that brightened my day earlier today! smiling from ear to ear, as she wriggled her eyebrows.

No, no Makeya you business girl, you no want the clown. You get business man that take care of you and I know you take care of yourself, but I ask God for good, strong, business man to love you and keep you happy ’cause you good girl.

Mrs. Norma you make my heart smile and between you, my Momma and my Jewels praying, I’m sure my HoneyLove is right around the corner, we just haven’t met YET! Love you… gotta go can’t be late today, smooches! Makayla cheerfully replied as she moves toward the door now increasing the speed on her chair to quickly get from within the alteration shop, in the truck and to ThomasAnderson before she loses the bet.

Tick, Tock Four O’clock, Tick, Tock Four Ten, Tick, Tock Four Twenty ….

Ding, dong the opening of the door at ThomasAnderson sounded upon Makayla’s entry.

Welcome to ThomasAnderson’s where the Bridal experience is a work of Art! How may I be of service to you today? asked the front desk receptionist.

Why thank you and I’m here with the Colton/Carmichael bridal party! Makayla cheerfully responded.

Miss. Colton is awaiting your arrival! Right this way please! replied the pleasant receptionist.

Makayla laughs to herself, as she strolled pass the aisles of beautiful dresses preparing herself for the jokes and belly gut laughs that are guaranteed to come her way the second she reached the bridal suite! Three, two, one… Hello Ladies! I’m late; give me a date to make it right, preferably tonight! Makayla announced as she entered into the large breathtaking room filled with love and joy for her childhood bestie that stood before her!

Oh my God Emily, said Makayla as she swelled with an overwhelming joy and tears streaming down her face. You are absolutely stunning, angelically beautiful and elegantly poised! I am so happy for you Em… Charleston has chosen the fairest of all to travel this journey of fairytales come true. I so believe in you guys love story and I pray that its enchantment never dies; but, grows stronger with every day and lives on and on, forever more.

Aww, Makayla now I’m crying! We promised no crying, I love you so and you’re still going to pay up! Now let’s get out of these dresses and go get some chicken wings from ShoNoTel Bar and Eatery, I’ve wanted to try it out for a minute. replied Emily as she wiped the tears from her blushing, soon-to-be Mrs. Carmichael face.

I’ll follow you ladies there because I have not a clue to where it’s located. Makayla laughed, keeping it 100% real via directions and the challenge there of! In the truck Makayla went with a smile as she watched a few bystanders stopping in their tracks to see if she was in need of assistance as she backed her wheelchair into the driver’s position of her custom made 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, arriving at their destination twenty minutes later.

Aiighty now, Makayla thought as she
