I meet up with mother, father, sister, and her fiancé at my parents house. I help out with my sisters packing getting all her dresses in order.
"Okay Nicole, so this is your plane ticket because we're leaving this weekend." I look up at her and shake my head. I'm really trying to swallow this last minute news.
"THIS WEEKEND?!?! I haven't even been at my new job for a whole week." I feel everyones eyes on me. Oh shit I just told on myself.
"New?" I look at my mother and tilt my head kind of.
"Not new really. The job I first had during my last year of college." I hear my mother sigh and look at me. My father pats my back.
"Oh God that place Nicole I really don't know what to do with you." I roll my eyes and ignore her to the best of my ability.
"I'm actually extremely happy at this job. I don't feel stressed out until I hear about this wedding mess and US GOING TO COLOMBIA." I look at my sister. She looks at me confused and shrugs. She has no idea. My father hits my back gently and I shrug at him. He shakes his head and I smile.
"But really Natasha... This weekend?" she looks at me and nods her head.
I look at my dad and licked my lips. In my heart I'm extremely scared. The last time I went was when I was 6 after that never again, but I never forgot about him.
"I'm going to go home and pack everyone. So have a goodnight. Papa have a good night. I love you." I kiss his cheek and walk downstairs and out the front door. I went to my car and began to drive home. I parked in my driveway and was surprised by the person on my doorstep.
"Hi." I said quietly and I unlocked the door and Geoffrey walked behind me. He closed the door and I looked at him.
"Drink?" I asked him and he nodded his head I poured us a glass of red wine. I handed him the glass. I went out into the back patio and sat at my stool and got another white canvas. I put my paint into the palette.
He sat at the table and he stared at me. I began to paint an unfolded flower, bleeding from its stem. I mixed my color and used my little paintbrush to add details and finish off the painting. I put my name in the corner. I sat it against the wall with others to dry.
I sat on the table and face him my feet on either side of him. He looked up at me. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. I stuck my hand out and he gave me one. He lit it for me and I stared at him.
"How've you been?" I finally managed to say a sentence. He took a drag and looked at me.
"I've been fine. Trying to fill my bed with other women hoping to get the feeling I had for you away." I laughed and stared at him.
"Did it work?" he chuckled and looked at me.
"Like a lucky charm... And I'm talking about the cereal." I smiled and shook my head.
"I'll take that as a no." he pressed his lips to my knee and I put my hand on his head. He stood up and kissed my lips. He then kissed my cheek and hugged me tightly.
It felt like a while before we even let go. He kissed my forehead and I closed my eyes for a split second.
"My sisters wedding is next week Monday. She's having it in Colombia. My dad was born there and she wants my grandmother to see. She doesn't understand that the biggest secret lies there." Geoffrey looked at me and smirked. He kissed my hand.
"Can I come with you as a date? I'll pay for my own plane ticket." I looked at him surprised. He wants to come with me. Me out of all people.
"You want to go with me and meet my family?" He smiled and nodded his head and kissed my cheek.
"Yes I do." It took me a while to respond and I nodded my head and looked up at him. I smiled and he smiled with me.
"What time is it?" He looked at his watch and read it carefully.
"4:00 why?" I kissed his lips and went back inside to get dressed.
"I have to go to work." he looked at me confused and I rolled my eyes.
"Just know I went off on my old boss and quit now I work at a club, bartending." I heard his laugh and chuckle and I looked at him and squinted my eyes.
"What exactly happened?" I rolled my head and slipped on my flats and I got up and began to point and walk towards Geoffrey.
"This bitch had the nerve to be rude and disrespectful. Saying a bunch of slick shit. I put him in his place and he got upset, but I let the whole office know what was happening in his life and how we slept together soooo I left pretty happy until I thought about my bills and I was like Michael did always say I'd have a spot at his club." Geoffrey laughed and looked at me he kissed my lips.
"That would've been priceless to see." I grabbed my keys and my wallet because I need to buy another pack of cigarettes. I walked out the house with Geoffrey behind me. I locked the door and as soon as I turned around Geoffrey's lips touched mine and it was passionate. We finally pulled away and I smiled at him.
"Have a great night at work." I smiled and nodded. Him saying that made me feel good on the inside.
"I will." He walked me to my car opened up the door and I got in. I began to back out my driveway ohhhh there's his car he parked it on the side I didn't notice it before when I was entering.
