Jay White
I was so mad with Brandon. He always wanted to preach about communication and he couldn't even tell me he was texting his ex. I was hurt and angry all at the same time. I made my way downstairs to the casino. I wasn't old enough to be in there but I didn't care. I ordered a Shirley temple at the bar and just sat there and wished that I had something harder.
"Hard night?" A voice said to me
When I looked to my left it was a beautiful light skin brother standing next to me. He was about 6'0, bodied and just pure fine okay?
"Uh yeah...wish I had something stronger. This Shirley temple ain't cutting it" I replied
"What you want? Just name it" he asked me
"Uh...a Long Island" I told him
"Sheesh...you tryna get fucked up I see but alright sayless. Bartender! Two Long Islands and 4 shots of tequila." He shouted out
"So what's your story? What you doing out here this late and underaged" he questioned
"Hard breakup, I don't want to get too much into it. I need a breather. What about you though?" I asked him
"Well I'm out here visiting an old friend. It's a surprise, he doesn't know I'm here yet" he smirked and said
"Oh, that's nice of you" I told him
"Yeah a lil pleasant surprise. I never got your name though" he said
"Jay, what's yours?"
"Chase."
After two more long islands and three more tequila shots, I was wasted. The night felt blurry and faint. I was having a good time though. Brandon was blowing my phone up but I ignored him. Eventually I just powered off my phone because I just wanted to forget. Chase brought out another side of me. As the night was coming to an end we decided that we had all the fun we could have.
"Where to?" Chase asked me.
"Take me where ever you're going"
I had to admit I was a bit slushed so my boldness was at a all time high. It was no real thought when you were drunk. Just slurred words and irresponsible actions.
Chase took me back to his hotel room. He filled up the jacuzzi and put bubbles inside it. He poured us some champagne and we had a drunk conversation. Meaning I didn't really know what was the topic but I knew we were having a conversation. After that glass of bubbly, things between us became intimate. He kissed me and touched on my body. It felt so sensual and his hands were gentle. We made our way to the bed and one thing led to another. The sex was good but the whole time I couldn't help but think about Brandon.
Love was more than just a word. It was feeling that impacted different individuals in various ways. Love single-handedly touched me. I couldn't let Brandon's small mistake mess up what we built. Our love was strong and bigger than this. He didn't cross any boundaries and he didn't break my heart. I was hurt but if it isn't broken don't fix it and in this case everything was fine. Nobody had a picture perfect relationship. Relationships and bonds didn't come with handbooks. No one knew the correct and proper way to do things in one. It was common sense to not betray but bumps in the roads like this was worth fighting for.
When I woke up the next day I had the biggest headache ever. It felt like somebody was punching me in the forehead. When I woke up Chase was still asleep. I took this opportunity to get dressed and head out. Last night was a mistake and when I started to think about Brandon I just knew that I couldn't sabotage this. This love was true and very pure. I couldn't mess this up.
When I got back to the hotel room, Brandon was sitting on the bed teary eyed as ever. He was fondling with my ring in his hand.
"I knew you'll come back that's why I didn't chase you. I stayed up all night worried about you. Calling you but of course you didn't pick up. I knew you needed your space because I should've just told you. All night I was just thinking about if I lost you. It didn't sit right in my spirit. You complete me and that's why I'm marrying you. When you took your ring off I thought it was over with. The ring doesn't mean anything though because your ring isn't on your finger now and we still love each other. Jay I can't lose you. I love you." He stated
"I love you too Brandon and that's why I came back. Now let's married baby!" We kissed and started to get ready for the wedding.
