“Space? So, weeks of no communication is you giving me space? Stop talking to me Jay. I’d really hate to show my ass in front of these white folk.”

She turned in her seat giving me her back. I laughed at her bratty behavior and continued to flag down the stewardess. I needed a drink.

“Yes, what can I do for you sir?”

“Two glasses of wine and a cup of ice.”

The ice was for her. She liked to chew on things to calm herself down and ice was her go to.

“Right away sir. Give me one moment.”

“Mmm,” came from her direction and my smile grew. I could tell she was going to fight me nail and tooth the entire flight.

“You going to behave like this the entire flight or what?” I inquired.

My question went unanswered and for the remaining duration of the flight, she kept quiet. She had nothing else to say to me and I was quite frankly cool with her silence. Whatever she was thinking about could either help us or break us by the time we landed. I was a hopeful nigga, so I was hoping the odds were in my favor by then.

His surprise had me wanting to give him more of me by the second. I was still upset that he left me hanging but joining me on this trip gained him a lot of redeemable points. I missed his presence and the dick he gave me while we were on the plane was everything to me. However, this trip I planned on relieving stress, not gaining any.

As we filed into our taxi, I watched Jay head in the other direction. For some odd reason, I felt worse than I did when he left the first time. He acted as if he cared and that was a reaction I had never received from any man before. Also, the dominance he had when he claimed me turned my body up to the max.

“Bitch you lie so much it’s sad,” Arin commented.

I looked at her like she was crazy because I knew it was her that gave the nigga our time of departure anyway. The only thing I mentioned to him was the place. Information about the dates nor flights was ever mentioned.

“That part. All that talk about her being done with him, but the entire plane heard the way he was delivering dick. You bet not utter another word about that nigga,” Toya chimed in.

My face was flushed. I turned my head toward the window to blush discreetly. Jay had my thoughts jumbled up to whereI couldn’t think straight. As hard as I was, that man seemed to make me go crazy and also bring out that soft side of me.

“Now y’all making me miss Kane,” Arin pouted.

“No worries, he’s on the way,” I said signaling the driver to pull off.

“What you mean he’s on the way?” she questioned.

“You called mine, so I called yours. Payback’s a bitch ain’t it.”

She mugged the back of my head, and I laughed. She had to know I wasn’t going to let that slide. She was my role dawg, and I loved her, but at times I wanted her to mind her business and just allow me time to adjust to things in my life.

Jason was becoming a soft subject to me because I was indecisive about the feelings I shared for him. On one hand, I wanted him to leave me the fuck alone the way he’d been doing lately, but on the other, I desperately wanted the comfortability he brought returned to me. I felt like I could be myself with him and I didn’t want that to change just yet.

Instead of a hotel room, we booked a villa that housed six people comfortably. We didn’t have plans on inviting anyone else, but we loved to move around freely. The space was welcomed. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and so were the people. I never wanted to date outside my race, but the temptation was front and center.

With the villa being near the water, I looked forward to walking on the beach and relaxing as much as I could. This trip was for us to unwind because of the beginning half of the year being so darn jammed pack with work. When we were in business mode, it was hard to get us out, but we were counting on this girl’s time to get us right and rebooted.

Pulling into the driveway, I was shocked at how beautiful the countryside villa was. There was never a time where I thought the city would have any competition, but it did. The peacefulnesssurrounded you almost immediately and I suddenly became envious of the people that got to enjoy this on the regular.

I noticed there was a rental parked in the driveway as well. I said nothing about it because it could’ve been something either Toya or Arin purchased for us. I headed for the door as the driver began to remove Toya’s luggage from the trunk. Speaking that neither Arin nor I had any luggage of our own, the rental was nice to have. We would need to go shopping before we could get settled.

Walking inside, my breath was taken away. This was such a beautiful place. I’d been amazed from the time we set foot off the plane. My smile stretched from ear to ear as I soaked it all in.

“You did good bestie. This is nice for real,” Toya said as she walked in behind me.

“Thanks girl, even though I didn’t know it would be so beautiful. I read that three out of the rooms have a bathroom in them so we should be good with having our personal space.”

“Where the keys to the car friend? I need to go grab some things before I sit down. I know once that jetlag kick in that’s it.” Arin approached me with her hand out.
