It's Time To Meet Victoria... A Different Kind Of Beautiful, Young Woman

By Gloria Faye Brown Bates/ aka Granny Gee

Writing, thinking in the night......... I want to write a story about a most unusual young woman.  A young woman who was beautiful... one you'd think would be surrounded in nothing but, the best in her life....

She did have the best... she could have had anything she wanted... she knew how to play the game... after all, she was taught by the best as a little girl.... she got to watch, learn.  Victoria didn't want to be deceitful, ruthless in her desires to have the best.  She didn't think it was right to 'fool men' into thinking she loved them to get their money, material things.

If Victoria had been 'bad'..... Victoria would have had many material things.  Men made offers, gave gifts to her all through her life... most she'd refuse, most she would gently hand back saying 'I really can't take that from you'.  She just couldn't ...

She never took advantage of men.... it was too easy.  She didn't think it was right.... though she learned how as a small girl.  Beautiful women could have anything they wanted.... men always told her they loved to walk into a room with her.... and watch people's heads turn to watch her. They 'tried to buy' her... Victoria wasn't 'selling'........

She was 'beauty that one finds in ugly surroundings'... that when first seeing... a person stops in his tracks to stare... wonder 'how this beautiful young woman come to be ... here'?  A young woman whose heart and soul was... just as beautiful... no matter how bad, how ugly things were.  She was where beautiful women wouldn't be... because she couldn't take advantage of others... her heart wouldn't let her.  She had a conscience.

That's not to say that this young beautiful woman was 'perfect'.  She was not... not at all.  In fact, if pushed..... she could hold her ground.  Also.... she rarely lost her temper... but, when she did.... people left her alone.  'Three' was her magic number.... she always tried to let a person go as far as ... three times... before losing her temper with them.  She always tried to give them the benefit of the doubt.

She usually won her battles in life... though what she went through to do so...............  She had 'steel' as some people would say.... though one 'couldn't see it'... who ever thinks a soft, feminine, beautiful young woman 'could be so strong'?

Victoria was the exception.....  she could wear beautiful clothes with grace... she could take her high heels off in a minute, let her hair down just as fast... if she had to, wanted to.  Victoria loved to do things other women didn't... she loved being in a man's world.  She quickly put men in their place when trying to 'cross the line'.  Just because she was beautiful... didn't mean she was 'easy'.

Read about Victoria, a beautiful young woman who 'comes home to mama'... to her mother's home.  She loved her mama dearly.  No matter what, Victoria loved her mama.  She was about to see 'no matter what'..........................

Read about everyday struggles in Victoria's life as she tried to survive ... she never used her beauty to survive.  Everyday was a struggle, though there were happy times, funny times.... devastating times..........

She loved coming to mama's house, everything was always so immaculate, clean, sparkling.  Her mother had taught her how to clean house at an earlier age... Victoria always kept a beautiful house through the years.

She saw her parents, brother drive up.  Thank-God for them, she cried inside.  She was going home with them... now, everything was............ 'going to be alright'.  Lacey, her little brother was looking at her through the car window with tears in his eyes... for her!  She felt such love in her heart for him... this little brother loved her with his heart... she loved him the same way.

Victoria was in a state of shock, her life completely changed.  She'd just weathered one of the worst storms in her life... she had made a choice that had put her in a bad light... she had no choice.  Sometimes life was like that... all she knew to do was to 'go with the flow'.... like a river flowing freely... without a dam.

Mama, thank-God... you are here.  Mama, I needed you.  She saw their faces.... faces she knew and loved with her heart.... mama, daddy, Lacey... her next to youngest brother.  She wanted to see Wayne, her baby brother.... he was in school.

Victoria was again... on another path in her life, another journey.  Victoria's life was unusual, different from anyone else's.  From a tiny child.... her life was different.  As a child she learned how it felt to live in.... hell.  As an adult........................

Now.... it's time for Victoria's story to unfold.  Again.... another unusual journey was beginning in Victoria's life.
