Alisha is in a perfect marriage. She has a loving husband and 2 children. One child is a boy and another girl. They live in a house with a yard and she sees them every night. When she starts a new job and the relationship between her boss and her starts to heat up she wonders how perfect her life truly is.
A young girl of about ten runs through the family room and tugs on her mother's arm. Repeatedly she says, "Mom! Mom! Caden won't share his cookies." The mother looks up from her book with just her eyes and lets out a heavy sigh. "Jessa, you are nearly ten years old. You cannot keep tattling on your brother. He's only four, if you also want to have a cookie, you just have to ask." Jessa, a little embarrassed and naturally more sensitive chokes back tears and she states, "Nobody offered me any! Why am I always the one in trouble?"
Annoyed with the situation already and just wanting to read her book, Alisha, the mother responds curtly "I don't want to hear it, Jessa. Just get a cookie and stop complaining." Jessa was a taller girl for her age and had beautiful light brown hair with flowing curls and freckles just under her piercing gray eyes. When she got upset her eyes would become icy in their stare and her long dark lashes always wisped over her brow bone. Alisha, found her daughter to be stunning and was grateful that even though she didn't feel attractive since having children at least her daughter would forever be beautiful.
Jessa takes a cookie and storms off to her room. Exasperated Alisha calls over Caden. "Little man, were you not sharing with your sister again?" Caden, a smaller boy with large dark brown eyes and pin straight dark blonde hair still had his childish voice. He could convince anyone of his innocence. "No, mommy but I can share with you!" He said this as he thrust a half eaten cookie into her face.
She had to tilt her head back to avoid getting the cookie right into her eye. "No, Caden, that's okay. Please go tell your sister you're sorry and make sure you share with her."
Caden excitedly ran into the other room and Alisha stood to make sure that her daughter accepted the apology. She's a sweet girl and means well, but her attitude gets the best of her when she doesn't get her way. Caden had a big smile on his face as he hugged his sister around the waist. She looked like she would rather be anywhere else with a down turned look.
Looking forward to getting back to her story about a young woman that works for a spicy CEO she accepted this exchange and sat back down on the couch. She just got to a good part where the CEO has the young employee pinned to his desk when her husband walked into the room.
Alisha has large blue eyes and wavy blonde hair. She's a little shorter than most women with a curvy frame. Her comfort zone at home is to sit on the couch in a blanket and read books. Her children get her attention in the evenings, on weekends, or during her time off. She specifically plans vacations around the area to give the kids fun adventures for an affordable price.
Her husband is a man that is very handsome, he has eyes that are brown with flecks of gold and green. He has nearly black hair and constantly a level of stubble on his face. They have been together for ten years since they were 18 in college and had their first child young. The Relationship has always been passionate. They regularly pleasure each other, change positions, where outfits, and just let go with each other.
The main problem they have in their relationship is that Alisha is very driven and wants to have a comfortable amount of money so that she doesn't create situations of worry like she was faced to endure as a child. Her husband also grew up without money and is okay without having a lot of it because he wants to be more present for the family.
The motives for both are great, but neither of them will budge on the topic and it creates animosity between them. When he walks into the room, Alisha puts her book down and says to her husband, "Dylan, I found the perfect place for us to take the kids for Spring Break. I think with my bonus and our miles we have saved we should be able to afford it." Alisha said it with little emotion because she didn't want to come off too excited. Dylan had just sat down on his spot on the couch and without looking at her, said "No." He turned the TV on and put his feet up. His favorite team was on so she didn't push it.
Instead, she let the book of mystery and romance take her energy.
