I get into my car about to drive to the place to meet Jackson before my phone rings. As you can probably guess it's Edwin. He hasn't blown my phone up but here and there he's been calling well more texting than calling but I've been ignoring it all. It's just apology after apology.
I can't stand to hear any of it. At least not now. I wanna not think about Edwin for a bit. Him and the situation has been on my mind 24/7 for 3 days now. I don't know what the hell he thought would happen. The truth was gonna come out sooner or later even if he didn't want it to.
Moving on from that topic. I am meeting Jackson today and I'm really excited. After talking for so long I been dying to meet him. This is the perfect opportunity to get out the house , take my mind off things and not just be sad like I have been.
My phone dings and I check it , it's a text from Jackson. I open it as I stop at a red light.
Jackson🤎
"I'm at the place"
Najah💓🤍
"I'll be there in about 5 minutes"
I text him back and sent my phone down at the red light turns to green. I think I'm kinda nervous. I mean we talked for months and months on FaceTime and call but that's so much different then real life. Face to face.
I park my car in the parking out before getting out and walking in. I walk up to the front where some lady sits "table for one?" She ask "I'm actually here to meet someone" I answer and she nods before I walk in the seating area looking for him. I'm nervous. I mean I hope it's not awkward or uncomfortable when I do meet him.
I spot him and take a deep breath before walking up behind him as he sits down "well well well" I say and he turns around "Najah!" He stands up and hugs me which feels real good actually. "You're a lot taller in person" I look at him "FaceTime definitely fucks my height up" He says which makes me laugh before we both sit down.
"Feels crazy to actually be meeting you" I say "I been waiting for this moment for so long" he smiles "I can say the same" I agree "how are you" he ask "well like I said earlier not so good but a lot better now in this moment" I answer and he nods "yeah you told me you kicked him out" he says and I sigh.
"Yeah uhh I did" I look at him "wanna talk about it?" He ask "I'd hate to bring a topic like that up and this is us meeting, seems like I'll ruin my mood" I say "no no, I'll listen and give advice If you want it" he takes a sip of his drink. "He lied big time" we make eye contact as I begin to talk
"How so" he questions "He told me him and his girlfriend broke up , so we had sex and did all that"
Still blows my mind how he lied to me. "But come to find out they never broke up and he was lying to us both" I tell him "I'm sorry that happened" he grabs my hands across the table "it's done and there's no going back" I shrug "well I mean you two love each other , yes he did wrong but giving up on each other might not be the best idea"
I look up at him "at least a talk should give you the decision you need to make" he says "I haven't talked to him since the day it happened" I say "time separated is good just not for long" he smiles "thanks" I rest my chin on the palm of my hand.
"Just do what feels right to you" he says
"No one can make that decision for you or tell you how to feel just do what you want" he finishes "you know what, you give pretty good advice" I nod and smile "well thank you Najah"
It's been a hour of talking and getting know each other even more than we already do. We stand up after he pays for the food "I had an amazing time today" he says "and so did I" I smile as he opens the door for me "it was great to finally meet you after all this time" he says "kinda don't want it to end tho" he looks at me
"what do you have in mind" I ask as we cross the street over to the parking lot "I was thinking maybe you can come back to my hotel room" he smiles "oh really?" I ask "send me the hotel and I'll meet you there" I tell him "will do , see you soon"
We arrive there at the same time and walk into the hotel lobby together. "We on the third floor" we go to the stairs. We walk up 3 flights before reaching his room and we walk in after he unlocks it
"Nothing special but welcome" I walk in and he shuts the door behind him. "How long are you staying down here" I ask "a week" he says "we have some time to spend together before I leave"
I nod and I sit down on the bed "I'm down here to visit some friends of mine" he adds "but I was definitely looking forward to seeing you the most" he sits next to me "I was surprised that you were coming here when you called" I turn towards him
"Why haven't you never come down before" I ask "my friends just moved down here and I was very nervous to meet you" he says and I smile "well now you aren't" I say "this is great" he nods at me. He moves in closer and I meet him right in the middle to have our lips connect. I thought this would happen. I mean why wouldn't it.
I lay him back onto the bed , climbing on top of him and not breaking the kiss. The kiss begins to slow down but my heart is racing. I sit up and his fingers go to the end of shirt taking over my head and throwing it wherever. The kissing once again begins but this time him on top after flipping us over. As he leaves kisses on my neck. I unbutton my jeans.
Which makes me look at me "are you sure" he ask and I nod "yes" I look up at Him "I mean everything that just happened with you" he ssys "that doesn't matter" I say and give him the green light to carry on. Multiple rounds later and we then fall asleep next to each other.
