Infinities

Part 3 Chapter 4

I know this is going to be a long ass drive, that i am dreading. Tyler has been doing a great job of helping keeping my mind off the journey by reliving some memories. We were currently reminiscing on his prom and my birthday last year. 

"Yo, like deadass though you knew I wasn't going to let your birthday be like anything we've ever done before but I didn't know what to do to top the promise ring, I mean I wasn't going to propose." he laughs.

"To be honest if you did I might have ran away."  I laughed

"If I did, I would run away I mean, I love you baby, but marriage I'm not ready for." He laughs and I smile with him knowing that I'm not ready for marriage either. I applaud those who get married this early, its nice that they know who they want to spend the rest of their life with. I know i wanna spend my life with Tyler, I don't see any reason not to. even over  our break this past month I couldn't picture my life without him. "Not that when the time comes I'm gonna run away, or leave you at the alter or anything like that."  

"You know I don't wanna even think about marriage until I'm at lease 29. After I finish Law school and have been in a stable firm long enough to be junior associate and you have gotten through Med-School and at lease your 4th year of residency. And hopefully if things go well we'll be married by 30 after you finish your final year of residency. " After the words leave my mouth I know it seems that I've micro planned but I kinda have.

"Wow, you know when you say it out loud, its like our 20s are going to be hectic. Just promise me this, every year we take a week off and enjoy ourselves. I've reached the age now where my parents finally say we could go to carnival. I really wanna take it all in while I'm still young enough to keep up and not be that pervy old guy, not to mention when kids come we're not going to have time. " Kids we've talked about this before I know we want to have at least two. Scratch that I want at lease two but mighty sperm over here wants to have five. I don't know who he thinks is popping out five kids. "Plus I wanna experience it with you, bring you to my island, introduce you to my families and grow with you." Awwww I could cry. I want to cry, why am I so emotional today?

"You are the sweetest thing." I pinch his cheek and he smiles keeping his eyes on the road though. "But I don't think I can keep up with carnival in Jamaica. From what Sky and your mom has told me that's days of partying non-stop, and the main day all day on the road. I don't know how you guys so it, are you people not born with livers and a sense of being tired, I don't know how you guys do it." I've seen some videos from my cousin who lives in Miami Caribbean parties are non stop. I know both the twins are really forward to their first carnival. Skyler especially, me I've just learned how to tell the difference between the music genres.

"Well to be Caribbean is no joke babe, you have to be savage, fun loving, carefree, polite, sweet, have a healthy appetite, know what to do to what songs, etc. And to answer your question our livers were sold as babies." he jokes. 

"I'm convinced that they were." I joke back.

I love when he talks about his culture, he gets this sense of pride and its so cute. To be honest I'm patiently waiting for the day he tells me he's moving to Jamaica. But I push the thought at the back of my head. I don't even want to think about that.

I never thought that I would be in a serious relationship at this age, prior to my senior year of course. I always thought I'd start dating like maybe junior year of college then we'd go to law school together etc.

"Ohh I know a good one." Tyler breaks my internal battle. "The day of  your final show in March." He laughs and I remember the day I almost choked a bubble blonde bitch.

"Glad you found that funny." I'm not a
violent person but there is only so much a person could take.

"Like I knew that girl would get to you. You've been complaining about her since we got to school. But from your call that day, I knew you had enough." He says while resting his hand on my thigh.
