My Valentine "lull-a-bye" - A short story

Posted by lat | Tags: Lat's Thoughts , Fiction, guard, Kilimanjaro, Marc Jacobs | 0 Comments

The day I remember now as clear as the sun that now strikes my dark cheeks. It was February 14th, 2005 and I woke up like any other woman; anxious, yet happy. I must warn you before you go further, that this is not your typical love story. This is my nightmare.

So (ok where was I?)…yes It was February 14th 2005 and I woke up like any other woman; anxious yet happy. The sun had made an early rise and I had risen with it, full of life and ready for what I had planned to be the best Valentine’s Day ever.

For four full years, Musa had been after my heart and my love, but I had been hesitant. He had built himself a reputation that was without any doubt, one to be feared and never ignored. Seven months earlier however, I had let my guard down after a year of staying single due to a severely shattered heart. Now this was to be our first Valentine’s Day together as a couple and I had to be the woman he had never seen before.

Meet Charlotte Seck

"I am 24 and I live in Paris. When I was a child, I loved reading books especially George Sand's books and other writers from the 19th century and I always secretly dreamt of  being a writer. In 2008, I went to New York for a survey on globalization. My trip was inspiring and I started writing my first book."- Charlotte Seck

I had the honor of interviewing Charlotte Seck, a writer and fashion blogger from Senegal. We spoke about her love for fashion and her book "Sa Vie entre luxe et humanitaire". She's also working on a second book.
