II Hands in Tahiti

Liaison of Faith

When the rules of fate knock on your door there's no choosing. It was written within the stars for Michael and Mina to revert back to love. Alonso knew it, he did everything in his power to prevent it from happening. Bugging the phones, asking Brielle for information even having his paid security following her around.

Everything within the past year was going great until the topic of children became more aggressive. Alonso made it law that it was non-negotiable even with the options of adopting. Something her and Michael talked about too many times to count. Adoption was one of the many things they planned to do in addition to having their own children.

When Alonso promised an eternity of love, Mina thought that it involved creating an extension of them. The back and forth disagreement caused him to confide in his good friend Nicole. He knew that spending personal time with her on top of sharing intricate details of his relationship was a risk in itself. It was a casual Thursday night when he phoned Nicole asking if she was free. Also a taken woman, married but she had eyes for Alonso.

They never made things inappropriate until the night when Alonso was frustrated at the pushed ultimatums from Mina. Nicole and Alonso drank and danced casually to Prince tunes. Just sharing the casualty of laughs and sacred stories. "Adore" played on as their clothing and heat of their skin made closer contact.

"That night I had to call you"

Lyrics he heard plenty of times after all this was one of his favorite songs by the artist but it fit the moment. The alluring want grew between them as the song went on. Alonso's eyes read through Nicole, hers did the same. Her eyes traveled from the brown hue of his eye, to the plumpness of his lips. A quivering feeling came over them. A magnetic pull reeled their lips into each other. He tucked her hair behind her ear then cupped his hands at the sides of her face. Their kiss deepened into a long game, a push and pull affair. He picked her up and laid her on the couch. His dominance pleading over her as they went into the next level of their tango.

It felt like they immersed themselves in the song. The lyrics spoke into the moment of their escapade. Passion that had been brewing silently for a long while. The thrill of doing something that was wrong. It hurt so good and felt so right. It couldn't be explained; it was something you had to feel wholly. When the bridge of their dance subsided they were left breathless. Their minds still in the realm of their static collison. It was too late to rely on their conscience, in the process they decided to continue on with the affair while the night was still young.

Alonso snapped out of his memory launching a film of the past. He never planned on telling Mina about the affair because he was adamant that it wouldn't happen again. But it was too late, in the moment when he picked Nicole up to carry her into her marital bed, possessing authoritative flame between them, he knew. He came back to his senses after their second high simmered into a fix that he no longer wanted to indulge in.

As Nicole slept peacefully, he gagged at the fact that it wasn't his beloved Mina that he was laying next to. His head rested on the head of the headrest as he mouthed silent cusses to himself. The volume of Nicole's jet black curls tickled the skin of his leg causing him to scuff. Some moments had passed before he picked his body up to leave. He knew he couldn't go home, not after this. Guilt would eat him up and the case he would be trying to hide from Mina would be an easy solve. It was written all over him.

Actions that could have been prevented if he told her the truth. Kids were non-negotiable because he was incapable of giving her any. Adoption was not something he looked down on for others, but for him it just added to his insecurity. The realm of his mind reminding him that he's incompetent and less than. He would have to admit to himself that Michael was in fact the better man, the better person for a woman like her. A man that wouldn't hesitate to give her the family that she craved.

What goes up must come down, this isn't a scenario of you reap what you sow. In actuality this is the tale of human nature manifesting through the tracks of fate. Something already shown through the lenses of God, it was written.

On the other side of things Michael and Mina were toasting to their new found love. He downed about 8 glasses of wine without realizing. Throughout their recent time together they spent the whole day and night catching up on everything they missed within each other's love. "This wine taste so much better on your lips", He mumbled his words against her lips. "I wish you could share some with me but you know." His words cut off as he rested his ears on her stomach. She was now 8 months pregnant, carrying most of the pregnacy in her lower back and hips. Michael positioned his head between her legs, one of the many places he found comfort.

After all, it seems as though their hands found their way back to each other. Like moving mountains they climbed the essence of their future together. Naturally they catered each other happily reinstilling the life they wanted all along. They gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Evora Jo Jackson. Of course as soon as they were able to dwindle back into the infectious love they shared with one another, marriage was something they wasted no time on. This time it felt natural, not forced, not stomach wreching, it felt like a chapter in a book written to fulfil the completion of the story.

The simplcity of Michael's proposal was far more sentimental than Alonso's. It had only been a couple weeks since they were together, like they used to be. It rained so heavy on this particular Monday. Michael had so much planned during their stay in New York City but unfortunetly all his plans were halted. They laid in bed lazily, also tired from their steamy non stop love making. When Mina slept, Michael placed a diamond ring on her left hand and kissed the stone then kissed her lips. He embraced his hand over the scope of her face. The glare of the ring almost blinded her when she woke up. She tried to open her mouth to speak but his words beat her to it.

"Lets get married tomorrow." Her eyes reverted back to the ring as she stretched her hand back studying every part of the flawless calrity, cut, and color of the diamond. She laughed and screeched hysterically. Remembering the 3 carat diamond ring he placed on her middle finger casually. "Promise me forever." He said as he beamed his doe eyes into her. She was shocked when the ring fit. Unaware that Michael had messured her fingers while she was asleep. While he could've asked her for her ring size he felt like it would ruin the surprise. As they constantly held hands, he would persistently massage and caress her fingers, kissing them, folding them into his. A way to study the width of her fingers and of course being the analytical Virgo he is, he had her ring size to the tea.

Now in the present moment, he still awaited her answer. "I wish we could get married today." She hopped on top of him placing kisses all over his body before pulling away to lure him into the bathroom. "I already have everything taken care of. Let's just enjoy the stillness of the weather." He threw back softly. The Four Seasons had been an enjoying time for them and courtsey to the many connections he had in the industry all his stays were covered for. The self promotion from the most famous man in the world was something they appreciated dearly. Their bodies entered the bathroom, the hot water from the shower head ran. "You know I always wanted us to have shower sex." She bit her lip as she roated her body through the water. Michael followed suit giving into her daring suggestion.
