It would help if you would tell me where were going dressed up.

"Just come on shorty. I'm taking you out tonight. I want us to have a night on the town. Now put the damn dress on and lets go." He said while smirking.

Okay bossy. I quickly slide into my dress then sprayed my body down with perfume. I allowed myself to be persuaded by Xavier to go out with him for the night. I mean it was only nine at night.

We got in the car that's when he drove us across the island till we got to this restaurant. Xavier gets out of the car on his side then walks over to mine to open my door. I couldn't believe this fool was trying to be a gentleman now that we're all the way from home. At first I was hesitant on us going out but then I started getting more comfortable with him and I being together. Xavier held me close to him by my waist. Xavier and I walked in the place smiling.

That's when he whispered in my ear " Look ma I need you to cool it. don't be asking too many questions. The life I'm introducing you to you can't be talking to everyone like there your friend when they're not. They're just using you just to get close to me and my empire. When we walk in here I need you to be my wife. I'm going to the kitchen where I'm going to do business at. I'll be out in a few minutes after the deal is finalized."

Alright Xay. I said in an unsure voice. He gave me a simple peck on the lips before we parted ways. He went straight to the back while I headed to the bar.

"What can I get for a beautiful lady like yourself?" the man said in a thick accent.

Hmm how about something simple like an Blue Caribbean.

"Okay. What's your name ma'am" the bartender asked.

My Name is..... I thought about what Xavier said not everyone is my friend. So I need to be careful on who I befriend. I quickly told the man my name was Rihmeeka. Then walked away with my drink in my hand. The bartender tried to talk to me again. Lord what does he want from me.

"Ma'am I'm sorry to bother you again but I must know what you're doing for the rest of this beautiful night. hopefully nothing , because I would like to take you to this spot over by the other side of the island it's a beautiful hot springs waterfall. It's amazing when the break of dawn light hits it just right." He said trying to get closer to me.

That would be nice but um.

"My name is Davain" he said while reaching out his hand.

Well Davain I am happily married woman. Now sir please leave me again before I pull out some mase. I say to the gentleman as I walk away with my phone in my hand.

"I am sorry ma'am , I mean no harm. Simply trying to give you some of the good island hospitality .

Thank you for trying. I appreciate it.

"Well since you mentioned you are married. How come you no wear a wedding ring?"

My husband and I don't like to wear rings on our fingers. I can easily lose jewelry or get robbed wearing my beautiful ring. I like to be safe when we travel.

"ah me understand. Hopefully ms married wouldn't mind letting me , giving you a real tour of the beautiful places to go to outside the typical touris places.

No thank you. You don't have to . My husband and I are pretty good. Were just enjoying the views and the great night partying. Soon we will be going home.

"your husband seems to be taking a mighty long time in the back. Do mind asking what kind of business does he? if he meets with the old man. He is probably no good. He most likely involved in a lot of stuff like the old man here. 

tell me more about the old man. what is he like?

"old man is pretty nice. That is until you make him angry. he's like this of the island grandpa. Everyone comes to him when they need something or need guidance. "

sounds pretty cool to me. The old man doesn't sound like a bad man to me.

"Guh you no pay attention. I see yuh a pretty gyal . But no brains".

excuse me , your a creep that was just harassing me about where I stay, who is my husband , what does my husband do, what state we come from? if I was even married to begin this whole conversation with. I think I'm good , here's your money for the drink. don't expect a tip.

i hopped down from the bar and walked the furthest away from the bar. All I wanted to do right now was go home and get in the bed. I still had to figureout work when we got back to reality. There was no way I was going to tell Xavier about my little secret between Monty and I. As for Monty that was his second time hitting and his last time. I refused to be played again. I sent a text message to Monty telling him I quit the club for good this time if I can't be a bartender.

Thats when the gentleman was about to walk even closer to me that's when Xavier walks out of the kitchen with a semi-elderly man. Xavier walks over to me and reads the expression on my face that lets him know I'm getting pissed off. He speaks up to tell the elderly man that something isn't right about why I am upset. However, the elderly man speaks before Xavier could get a word out.

"ah Xavier is this young radiant woman all yours?" the elderly man asks.

"Yes Romaine this is my beauty ." Xavier smiles as he kisses me.

"ah I see I see when are you going to make her all yours. Pardon my manners but I don't see a ring" romaine says giving me the eye.

My husband and I are married. We just don't wear rings. Well it was nice meeting you Mr. Romaine; sadly my husband and I have to go get ready for our flight back home to our son. I say while pretending to be happy.

I rushed Xay out of the restaurant before he could snap at me about my weird behavior. Babe, I didn't mean to step on your feet in the conversation, but like you said, we have to put our game faces on.

"Okay . I see now Wassup with that funky ass attitude from earlier?" he said.

Some random creep named Davain kept trying to talk to me. I didn't tell him my real name. as for he's concerned my name is Rihmeeka to him.

"alright. As long as you didn't give real names were straight. Now let's go back to the place. we leaving tomorrow night. I have another surprise for you."

We had a long night. Xavier and I slept throughout the day until his workers called my phone. Xavier answers the phone only shortly afterwards he gets completely dressed. As I tried to pull myself together to ask him about where he was going . he hit me with one of those typical guy 

sayings " I'll be back later . I promise we can do something fun when I get back from work." He says as he kisses my forehead. i didn't even see him leave I was too tired to even keep my eyes open for long.

6:00pm rolls around. Finally, I had the strength to wash and dress in a maxi dress that hugged my curves with a slit on the side that showed my left leg that had a rose tattooed around it, then all the way down to my ankle. I slid my platform sandals on that were white. I put a little bit of makeup on to show off. I started singing; listening to music always made me feel better.

I hated how now my thoughts were preoccupied with worrying about Xavier this much. It took this weekend for me to realize I liked being with him. Deep down in his twisted cold heart, he was spontaneous, adventurous, overprotective, and sweet. He makes me laugh. He got me missing him when he was not around. It's just us against the world. I felt unstoppable with him. after ordering room service to the room for the both of us. I took off my clothes to take a nice dip in our hot tub. Hmm, I thought to myself. How can I be sexy and surprise the man who never ceases to amaze me? I began throwing some rose petals on the floor leading to the Jacuzzi tub in our bathroom. I had written on sticky notes only to make our last night fun. I placed a sticky note on the door for when he closed it. Each note was different from the last. After completing the task, I got in the bubbles and waited for him.
