Alexa's POV
"So, how was your one year vacation?' Kylie asked.
"Emotional, yet peaceful at the same time" I said.
"What did you do? Where did you go? Why didn't you invite me, your friend?" she asked playfully pouting.
"Well I went to Dominican Republic, exploring the island, enjoying the scenery, and having a good time. Oh, I also got my hair braided, or twisted" I said.
"Can I see?" she asked, sipping her lemonade.
"Sure" I said, unwrapping the wrap from my hair and letting my twists fall.
"Wow, what kind of style is that?" she asked.
"Havana twist I believe, or how the lady said it, Habana twist" I said chuckling.
"Really? So where did you buy this hair?" she asked, grabbing some of my hair.
"Um, genetics"
"Damn, why'd you let your hair grow that long?"
"Cause I didn't feel like cutting it like most heartbroken women do" I said.
"Speaking of broken hearts, how are you doing?" she asked.
"Taking it one day at a time, but it's so hard"
"Why?" she asked.
"Because I'm alone. I'm doing everything by myself, for real this time" I said.
"Why not ask Jacob for help?"
"Mi no waa foo chat foo im" (I don't want to talk to him) I said.
"What? You I don't understand that Bahaman shit" she said.
"I don't want to talk to him"
"And then you wonder why you're so stressed. If it's such a big deal, talk to his mom so she can tell him for you. Just a thought" she said.
"I'll think about it" I said.
"You do that. Now o my next question, have you see Jacob lately? I know it's been about two years since the divorce, but I thought you might've seen him around"
"I saw him when I went to get the kids" I said.
"What'd he look like?"
"Why do you wanna know?"
"Cause they say when you have a bad breakup, your partner look a hot mess"
"If only, he didn't look nothing like that. When I saw him, he looked so good. His afro is trimmed, he looked a bit lean, but muscular, skin looked flawless, he grew a mustache and chin hair, he just looked like walking sex" I said, spacing out.
"Walking sex? Are you horny love?" she asked, chuckling.
"Tbh, I'm sexually starving" I said putting my head down on the table.
"There, there, it'll be alright" she said, comforting me.
"Hey, since you're now legally single, why you and I go have a girls night?"
"I just got back, and I would like to spend some time with my kids. Maybe another time"
"Ok, what about dating?" she asked.
"I don't think I'm ready to go back into a relationship, not after what happened in my marriage"
"You know, you're gonna have to let that go at some point. If you let it dictate your life, you'll forever be unhappy"
