Tainted Love

Chapter 4 - Jordan - The Decision

I got my first job at the age of 17 years old, right out of secondary school as a graduate and it was a great job too - at least so i thought, it was at a supermarket job as a starting supervisor. I told Kemaree about the job and he was excited for me and he too had landed a great little job overseas. He wasn't doing anything for me anyhow and so I really had to go out and get a job.

I liked this new job and I liked the feeling it gave me. I was empowered, I was independent and I had a newfound crush. He was a bagger at the supermarket and before you question me, he was tall, he was handsome, he was chocolate brown, he was deep-voiced and well-spoken, he had dreams, he had ambition and he was kind and smart. 

He was Jordan.

He used to sneak and give me hints about what to do on the job as he was there for a good while and had quite the knowledge, we both knew we liked each other but the job had very strict rules about workers being in relationships - intimate relationships. So after denying our feelings for the first 2 months, being young and horny, we started meeting in the back store room every chance we got.

Kissing, touching, body rubbing, and hiding! I never felt more thrill rush through my body and the boy smelt good and he had the perfect teeth, pearly white, he was 6 feet tall and muscular, I used to find it hard to keep my hands to myself when we were making out. 

I knew from the first touch that he was the one I wanted - I quickly outgrew my long-distance relationship with Kemaree and slowly the communication ceased. I told myself Kemaree was a waste of my time and he was only preventing me from fully living my life all while he was rallying around town with his nurse woman. With every touch and grope I received in that back store room - I felt empowered and I told myself this was the sweetest revenge as Kemaree was a wicked liad boy!

I still can remember that Monday in April, I had stayed home from work as I was too tired and in need of rest. I was home all alone when I heard the Postman's bell ring at my gate, so I took my own slow precious time to wander outside. Strangely the postman waited for me and coming closer to him I realized that this wasn't a letter but a box- a parcel and that I was required to sign for it.

The box was addressed to me... from Kemaree...

My slow tired demeanor quickly received life after reading the package and I hastily ran back inside to tear the box apart.

Inside the box was the most beautiful silver ring I had ever laid eyes upon. The silver base of the ring shone brightly and on top sat the neatest square-cut diamond and to the top right of the diamond sat the daintiest silver butterfly. The box also had enclosed a necklace, silver too with a square cut diamond pendant. A butterfly charm was attached to the necklace and on the back, it read " K&K" for Kaleena and Kemaree.

I was elated but so depressed at the same time. I thought to myself why on God's earth would this wicked boy wid him liad self send this come gimme after me just a move on wid me new man and a try live me best life and bruk me virginity! 

Why him never tek it and gi him piece a dry head nurse gal weh him have up a farrin land! But at the same time, I felt relieved. I thought to myself that he loves me indeed and maybe just maybe he was using this nurse girl to fulfill his manly needs and desires as I was too far away. Maybe this is a sign that I should stick with him and stay away from Jordan before the relationship got me fired from work, maybe I just needed to be patient. 

Maybe I was too foolish because Tuesday morning I was back at work and at the back of the storeroom sucking on Jordan's neck like a piece a jerk pork.

I didn't even call Kemaree to tell him thanks for the gift, just there enjoying the spoils of my hidden relationship as no one knew about me and Jordan - as yet!
