The One You Wanna See

Fix your life up!

"Glad you could make it," Jill said rising to her feet and promptly giving me a sideways hug.

We both sat down. I looked at Jill the same way she looked at me, with curiosity.

Okay, this meeting was not going to be easy.

It took almost five minutes for either of us to say anything. It was as though we were sizing each other up, like what did Prince see in her. I wanted to know why she remains adamant to be with him.

I tell myself:

"Well, for one thing, I know he is the only man I have ever been with, but in her case, it is a well-known fact that she has had quite a few lovers who were also rock stars."

"So, this is a little awkward right?" Jill said breaking the ice.

"Yes, a little," I said looking at her, trying to discern how far along she was in her pregnancy! From my visual estimation, she could be close to mine.

"Hey, what can I get you, ladies?" The waitress asked moving to our table and taking our orders.

"I will have a cream soda," I said to the waitress.

"I will have a red bull and Patron, thanks!" Jill said not looking at the server, whose eyes widened.

"Hmm, Patron has alcohol in it," the waitress said unsolicited, trying to let Jill know that Pregnant women should not drink alcohol.

"I know that just a little bit never hurt anyone." She said shooting the waitress a dark glare!

"Okay coming up." The waitress said, walking away and soon returning with our drinks. I was shocked at her consuming alcohol. Doesn't she know it is not safe for the baby? I took a sip of my cream soda. That is when she blurted out:

"Prince never has sex without protection."

Shocked by her unsolicited revelation, I spat out my drink which made her laugh.

"He never does, like seriously never, ever. I am surprised he did so with you." She said giving me a glance, as I tried in vain to clean up my dress with a napkin from the table.

"Yeah, never, ever, he stays protected."

I wondered to myself if  you say he protects himself, then how did you get pregnant? Hmm?

"I had to make it happen, you know I have seen your kind come and go. But for some reason, Prince just will not let you go!" She said sipping on her drink through a straw.

"Make it happen?" I asked her inquisitively. By now my anger,

She frowned, then nodded her head as she sipped on her drink.

"Yeah girl you heard me right, between you and me it would never have happened. So I had no choice but to make it happen. Why do you want details?" She looked at me in disgust; it is as though she was playing mind games with me. That's it that's what it had to be, she couldn't possibly have called this meeting as a gesture of goodwill against someone she views as her potential rival, oh no Jill is too smart for that she did this to play games with my mind.

Before I could say anything else she gladly offered the details:

"It turns out I had an inkling that he had someone else, you. Now we always had parties at door number seven, I thought you were going to join us that night but you did not. So here is what I did, I got him really, I mean really drunk out of his mind."

I listened as she spoke

"Knowing he wouldn't have done anything, because of someone, possibly you had an effect on him. He didn't want to join in if you understand me. He's a lot smarter than that so I just pretty much switched his drink  when he was not looking, it tasted the same just with a little extra something."
