Page 93 of Exit: Us
“What are you doing here? Why are you in Mexico by yourself?” that was the audacity of him talking.
The part of him that thought that I was alone and miserable, while he moved on. I literally sent him a picture of me, and my man on Gemini’s birthday, when he texted me, trying to be petty about the ring situation. He should have known from the picture that I wouldn’t have been in Mexico alone.
I scoffed at that question. I know I wasn’t supposed to offer him any kind of emotion, but that question pushed it out of me.
“Oh, I’m not alone,” I was graceful in my response.
Before either one of us got the chance to say anything else, that sexy chocolate man made his way over to where we were. The single women that were standing around, all looked at Gemini with their mouths open. Even the men were looking,probably trying to figure out what his workout routine looked like.
He had the nerve to be walking around this resort without his shirt on, and just his swimming trunks, and slides. Those muscles were out. The tattoos, and the abs.
Gemini made it over to where I was, stood behind me, and he tossed his phone on the counter. I think he was so wrapped up in me that he didn’t realize who was next to us. All he cared about was me, as he kissed me on top of my head, and placed his right hand around my neck, holding me at my throat, massaging me there.
He made me tilt my head back, and when I did it, he leaned his head down, and right there, out here in the open, he tongued me down. He did it for about ten seconds and stopped.
Once the tongue kissing ended, he pecked me twice on the lips and pushed my head back up. I could feel Jacob’s and his girlfriend’s eyes on us. Gemini could feel it too because he turned, so that he could look in their direction. His eyes went right for Jacob. I showed him a picture before. He knew exactly who that was standing there, and that’s why he smiled.
“What’s up? How you doing, man? I’m Gemini. Amina’s husband,” Gemini said, petty as hell, putting his hand out for Jacob to shake it.
Jacob’s face turned beet red, as his eyes left Gemini for a second, so that he could look over at me. His eyes dropped, going for my left hand. He looked at my ring finger, and sure enough, that diamond was sitting right there, and it was flashing. I saw the way his mouth partially opened once he saw the ring.
Jacob didn’t even have the words. He just stuck his hand out for Gemini to shake it.
“I’m Jacob,” he finally found his voice.
“Nice tofinallymeet you,” Gemini was petty as hell in his response.
You could tell that Jacob’s girlfriend hated everything about this moment because I heard her blow out a deep breath, and then she sucked her teeth. I watched her as she rolled her eyes at Jacob and then turned to look at me.
“I guess I’ll just introduce myself, then. I’m Gabby. I’m Jacob’s girlfriend,” she said to me, sticking her hand out for me to shake.
With a smile on my face, I stuck my hand out, eager to shake hers. In this situation, I knew that I’d won, and she didn’t. She got with a man that called off a wedding just a week before. If he could do me like that, he would do her like that.
“Nice to meet you, Gabby. I wish you well,” was all that I had for her.
She knew that I was being petty because she quickly got up and stormed off. Jacob stared back and forth between me, and Gemini, and then he walked off, going after his girlfriend.
Gemini laughed, while he pulled the empty chair out that was next to me.
“Corny ass nigga. Fuck was you thinking?” he asked me in a joking kind of tone, but I knew he was serious.
“It was never on my bucket list to run into him. I really thought that I would never in my life see him again,” I was honest.
“He about to go to the room, hide out in the bathroom, and cry. I know he sick to his stomach. Look what the fuck he walked away from. Stand up for a second,” Gemini went on, and I just waved him off.
“For real, bae. Stand up,” he kept it going.
I listened this time, standing up from my chair, and instead of turning around to look at him, I continued standing, facing the bar. I only turned my head to look at him.
“Look at this view. Pretty ass face. Banging ass body. You smart as hell. You nasty too. You got a dope personality. You’rekind. Ambitious. College educated. Got your own career. Man, call the bartender over, and lets order some shots. Cheers to that nigga being stupid, and not valuing you, so I was able to get you,” he said, pulling me to him by my arm.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, while his wrapped around my waist.
“Ay, if I ever leave you with anything, let it be this. You ain’t nobody’s second choice,” he told me, and I nodded my head to that.
“You hear me?” he asked.
“I know, baby,” I told him.
