My Melody

Chapter 15

🔸🔸🔸Carmen🔸🔸🔸

We had been here a week now. The whole vibe of the Island was just magical,and it's really beautiful here. The activities that Aubree had us doing seemed never ending. I think I gained an extra five pounds of muscle. We did another tour. A hike through the mountains. Horse back riding,and road jet skis. I think tomorrow is parasailing,and lunch on the beach. Aubree wants to hit the club,but the night life in the streets is more live. The people having fun outside being active are my  kinda people.

"You don't understand Carmen because you already have a man,but I need a man. Or at least someone to do me good." Aubree whines laying out across the bed. I shake my head at her being so over dramatic.

"Well girl I hope you find one. Cause this ain't it." I laugh smacking Aubree on the butt. Aubree lifts her head up to look at us.

"Listen y'all go have a good time. I don't need to be going and getting caught up in no entanglements." I gave them a knowing look. "You have two other willing participants going. What's the problem?"

"Hey,why don't you call Gael?" Melly asks,lookin hopeful. Aubree waved her off. "He's already back in the States. Something along the lines with his baby's mother."

"Oh shoot,he got a kid?!"Nicki cuts in.

"Yeah with this annoying girl named Samantha. I personally think  she tried to trap him..." Aubree stares off into space,coming back after a moment. "Anywho we'd be here all day with the drama he's been through. I guess if you don't want to go I won't force you. We'll see you later then."Nicki and Aubree left to get ready. Melly was in her closet looking for an outfit.

"Hey,are you okay?" She asked looking concerned.

"Yeah,we did a lot. I kinda wanna relax. Mingle with the locals and walk on the beach. You know take it all in."

"Oh okay I understand ?"She smiles going back to her task.

I get up and head to the bathroom. I spoke to Anna (the maid) who is going to take me to get souvenirs for my close friends and family back home. She's actually a really nice woman in her late 30's. I got to know her when there was an incident a few days ago in the bathroom with somebody having too much to drink and puking. I felt so bad that I helped her clean up the mess. I guess I just can't get used to having a 'maid'. We became well acquainted after all that. It's early enough that I could get there and back before the girls even leave. Have dinner at a little seafood restaurant I saw earlier,then call my baby. I come outta the room dressed in a jungle green stretch pants with matching shirt,black/green running sneakers joining Anna in the living room grabbing my phone and wallet before we go.

"Where are you going?"Nicki asks leaning on the counter picking through her salad.🥗

"I am going to get some gifts for my people back home. Mind your business." I responded with humor.

"Oh crap,I guess I gotta do that too. You can't wait until tomorrow Carmen?" I looked at her like she was crazy. "What I look like? I'm not changing my plans because you were just reminded that you actually have family back home that you should get something for." Right then Aubree came out in this low-cut barely there gold sequins dress. I got to admit she look cute though, and it kind of made me want to dress up and go with them,but I know once I get there I'm gonna want to go home.

"Where are you going?"Aubree Says as she stands there with her hand on her hip. "That's the same thing I asked her." Nicki chimed in.

"Oh I see you just don't wanna hang out with us," Aubree says through squinted eyes shaking her head at me. I couldn't help but laugh at her nonsensical behavior.
