Trapped By A Taurus

Two Can Play

"Girl.. I feel like we haven't talked in forever. Whats going on?''Kelly asked . I was in my bedroom packing for a trip to Minnesota with Drique. My mom picked up Ahlirah so we could go and although i was going to miss our baby girl i was happy that Drique and i were going to have quality time. I planned on cooking a delicious meal for him in the hotel suite along with a picnic by a river on another day. 

"Girl i know I'm sorry Drique and i have been going everywhere lately. Shopping , trips to Florida a  month ago and Ahlirah was sick for a couple days."'

''You don't have to explain sis. Just was worried about you. I am glad Drique and you are getting over that shit with Mari.''

''Yeah i forgave him...He's been making up for it. How have you been?"

"Good, good, me and Lamont broke up," Kelly said, her voice laced with a hint of excitement. "It's cool, it was about time."

I listened intently as she continued her story. 

"We've been going back and forth too much," Kelly explained. 

"Lamont was your first love and boyfriend, right?"

"Yeah, he was. And he was also the nigga that took my virginity and i caught him cheating."

''Kelly ...are you forreal?'

"Yeah, I know. But Lamont started getting cocky after college, and it never was surprising to me because even when we were younger he would try to sneak with other girls, but they would run and tell me."

I chuckled, remembering some of the stories Kelly had told me about Lamont's infidelity. 

"I'm happy for you," I said sincerely. "It's about time you found someone who treats you right."

"Thanks, girl. I appreciate it."

As we continued our conversation, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. It was good to see Kelly moving on from a relationship that had run its course. And who knows? Maybe one day she would find someone like Drique. Someone willing to correct his ways because the love he has for you is too strong to let a mistake ruin it. I got off the phone with Kelly and did my hair while waiting for Drique. Drique walked in the crib and began packing his stuff. I could tell he had a lot on his mind . He was mumbling and shaking his head to himself. Something he only did when he was pissed off and i knew that i didn't piss him off. 

''Are you okay Drique?''

''Yeah... I'm good ..come on let's get on the plane.''He smiled kissing my cheek. We got in the car and headed to the airport. It was full of people and so noisy. I couldn't wait to get on the plane and rest for a little. Drique grabbed us some candy from one of the stores before we got onto the plane. 

I looked down at the ground as we went into the air. Everything looked so different in the sky. Drique looked at me and smiled before planting a kiss on my lips.

''I love you Giselle.''He smiled. 

''I love you more Drique.''

We kicked back in our plush first-class seats, enjoying the luxurious amenities of the airplane. After a few hours of rest, the flight attendant wheeled out a cart filled with delectable dishes. Drique ordered the classic filet mignon, while I opted for a mouth-watering crab pasta dish.

As we savored our meals, Drique's phone started ringing. I peered over at the screen, noticing that the number wasn't saved.

''They blew you up about 4 times. it must be important." i said

''It's not important its one of the boys probably wanting me to tutor them.''

As the flight continued, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Who could Drique's mysterious caller be, and why wouldn't he answer the phone?
