Chapter Three

*Blu Jay's P.O.V.*

After the photographs and the interview with Times Magazine, I've gotten bored with the same questions. And that's when is the wedding? I proposed to Monica on her birthday which is on Jan 1st; on live Television right after the ball dropped. She had no idea too, it was the most exciting moment of our life and at first I did want to get married right away then...

I lost my passion for it when she cheated on me that following weekend. Then I was done with her, but she fought for me and never gave me the ring back. That's when I gave her a last chance, and she made the smart choice and took it. But the whole getting married is below me, I might wait another year or two before I get married. I'm perfectly happy with the engagement. But I can't speak for Monica...

"Blu--I mean umm, Mr.Jay your mother is waiting to have dinner with you on Park Avenue" Amy said. I stood before her and she looks up at me and I smiled and said thank you. I think I really had her under something, I wanna figure it out

"Tell her to start without me I'll be running late—Amy, come with me. I'll take you home, it's getting late" I told her she grabbed her purse and coat and walked to the car with me. Now that I have her alone I can get to know her

"So Amy, you like it here in my Manhattan?" I asked she smirked and looked out the window

"Well it's definitely no Cleveland. So that's a good thing" she said

"Your from Ohio?" I asked

"Not birth, but it is the most recent city I've lived in. My parents were in the military service which caused us to move regularly. I was born in Spain, shortly after we moved Germany, then Amsterdam then Georgia. My dad was involved with another woman there and had another child. So my parents and sister and I moved to Cleveland. After my parents divorced my mother wanted to start a family... that didn't work out because she still only has me and is getting married for the third time of her life"

"I'm sorry to hear that it must be hard on you that you don't get to see your father...does he write to your?"

"He writes us every month, my sister and I stay together. I know I haven't seen him physically since I was 18...but I have faith since he decided to retire" she said.

I could talk for her for hours but sadly my trip has came to a stop, and told the driver to take her home while I was escorted to the table and to my surprise it wasn't just my mother. It was my sister and Monica...Damn! Damn! Damn!

"Ladies. How are you?" I asked as I pulled out a seat sit next to my sister and mother hesitantly.

"Blu how sweet of you to join us" my ma said as I sit next to her. I smiled, and looked into Monica eyes. She was confused

"Oh how grand, so anyways Monica and I were going over colors for the wedding... now how does royal blue and peach sound?" My mother stated

"Excellent choice Mrs. Jay, how about you Blu?" Monica agreed

"Anything you want. A happy wife makes a happy life" I said while checking emails on my phone. Our dinner comes out and the ladies are just enjoying each other's company as I eat then it occurs to me...

"Maybe we should go on vacation..." I suggested and the three of them looks at me in shock

"I'm sorry? Since when do you have time for a vacation?" Bianca said

"I'd always had the time I just never used it. I don't mind if we took a week or so for a family vacation. I mean dad isn't getting any better, so I would like to take him outta the bed" I said

"I'm down. All I should have some vacation time left after Thailand. Where are we going?" Bianca asked

"Bora Bora, for the holidays...and Wyatt should come with us, on my new private jet. I've always wanted to fly so now is good. Now I have to get home and change, I'll have my assistant book the reservations and I'll send a message regarding..."

"Wait... wait... what's the occasion? Why won't you stay with us?" Monica asked

"Benjamin and I have to drive to Brooklyn. For a business meeting in the morning" I said and excused myself after kissing Monica on the cheek. My driver took me home so I could change and I packed my bags for the weekend. I got back in the car because we had to pick up Benjamin

"We about to get some ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance stop now make her ass handle me!" Benjamin said stepping in the car

"No Ben, we said this time we were going to go business. Because last time in Buffalo we mixed business with pleasure and almost cost us millions"

"Ight... we won't get too fucked up. But we will still get fucked up" he said and I shook my head in disappointment, and he's the eldest of the three of us. About a two and half hour ride we made to the Hilton hotel. I arrived to my room and my phone rings

"Amy?" I asked

"Hey...Blu I'm sorry to call so late, but umm I'm confused... I know it's my job to have a laptop and phone and a email address... but you provided that for me, do you do this for all your employees?" She asked.

I wasn't confused to what she was referring to because earlier today I asked Sydney to order an Mac Book Pro the gold edition and the latest iPhone, iPad and AirPods and delivery to Amelia's parents house. I felt entitled to give her the best

"I didn't want you to go through all the trouble of buying such things that's so unnecessary"

"Okay..." she said unsure

"A simple thank you will suffice..." I told her in humor. She was quite but not in a so quite area. It was loud music and people were she was

"Amy were are you?" I asked her

"I'm at a bar...ten blocks from campus...why?" She asked

"You're alone?"

"No, no, no... I came with my sister and my best friend but my best friend left with her boyfriend and my sister is somewhere around here... OH! Wait there she is...she's leaving with my best friend's boyfriend...ohh then who's with my best friend? I don't know I'm just here chillin waitin for this buzzz to pass...but I think I waited too long, because I'm drunk!" She slurs out all her words

"I'm coming to get you!" I told her

"I'll be long gone when you get here from Manhattan..."

"No I won't I'm in Brooklyn. I'm ten minutes away from the campus I'm on my way!" I hung up and called my driver and Benjamin and I had to go get her. We made it to the bar and I searched the place up and down for Amy. I sit at the bar hopelessly while Benjamin party with the college girls. I felt someone bump into me and it was Amy and some guy

"Amy how many times I gotta tell yo ass to come over? Get yo ass in my car" The angry man said grabbing her from the roots of her hair. I pushed him away from her and she was shocked

"Blu?" She asked

"You! Stand back! And you keep yo hands to yo muthafuckin' self!" I told him.

He pushes me back and I punched him in the face and my brother stepped in and kicked him in the face. It became a bar fight and we had to ditch this shit and I took Amelia with me. We drove back to the hotel and Amelia was wasted as fuck! She couldn't speak right or control her body. Benjamin went to his hotel room and I carried Amelia to mines.

"Ohhhh this is what this hotel looks look like! It's is amazinglyyyyy beee-auti-fullll! I never been here befo!" I sat her on my bed and she looks at me

"Do you wanna sleep on the bed or couch?" I asked her. She smiles and pulls me closer to her face

"I'll sleep wherever you sleep, Blu" she said and kissed me deeply sticking her tongue down my throat so I pulled away

"Okay. Amy, I gotta get you to bed... you need some sleep" I told her and she pouts

"You don't want me? I must been getting mixed feelings... "

"It's not that... I'm just trying to help you and I want my women sober when I 'want' them" I told her she rolled her eyes and removed her jacket and top leaving just her pants and bra. I removed my shirt and placed it on her, she lays down and I removed her pants and placed the cover over her.

"Sleep with me..." she said. I climbed in on the other side of the bed and she gets closer to me

"One of these days Blu... imma make you happy' she said and falls asleep
