Chapter 03 - Destiny
Roland was wide-awake, he decided to go into the kitchen and roll himself a smoke. Roland looked over at Jake asleep on the loveseat. Oy was at his feet, they slept easy and they slept deep. Roland skulked quietly by. Roland knew that time for sleeping easy would soon be coming to an end for Jake and he did not want to wake him. Roland got to the kitchen and rolled a smoke. Sharon's eyes still burned in his mind. A slight smile touched Roland's lips as he took a drag on the crudely made cigarette. Susan, who knew I'd meet you here of all places.
Sharon woke up the next morning from an uneasy sleep. Though she couldn't remember her dream, the feeling lingered. The feeling was heartbreak. Sharon couldn't make sense of it, she had never been in love before. Most dreams were meaningless weren't they? Well Freud may not agree, but nuts to him. What does a misogynist drug addict know about the human mind (heart) anyway? Sharon stayed in bed for a few moments longer. Destiny. Ka. It was coming, coming like the wind.
When Sharon opened her bedroom door she found Eddie, Susannah, and Roland drinking coffee at the kitchen table. Jake was still asleep on the loveseat. Sharon, still in her yellow pajama pants and camisole, joined the others in the kitchen and helped herself to the freshly brewed coffee. "I hope you don't mind, I helped myself to your coffee maker." Eddie said looking up from his cup. "Not at all." Sharon replied and covered her mouth with the back of her hand as she yawned. "Tired shug?" Susannah inquired. Sharon smiled. "Yeah, I have a feeling that we are in for quite an adventure."
