I woke up in a jeep, lost, wondering what had simply a few hours ago. Then, I remembered. Kali and I had shared our first kiss, and there she was passed out on the car seat. I did not want to disturb her, so I just watched her sleep. She was so peaceful, that I actually did not want her to wake up. Her hair was down, letting out her thick, black locs. I started to play with her hair, accidentally knotting it up. I tried to unknot it, but she woke up, finding my face inches from her.

“Hey, sleepyhead.” I said, backing away from her. Even though it was early in the morning, she still looked gorgeous.

“Hi.” She replied, groggily. She started to adjust her seat, and turned on the car engine. “Want something fi eat?” I was about to say yes, but then realized Declan and my mother would be even more worried if I didn’t come home sooner.

“Actually no. We have to get back to the hotel, my mother’s going to freak.” I told her, looking at the time: five o’clock in the morning. I figured if she drove fast enough, I could get to the hotel without them noticing I was gone the entire night.

We arrived at the hotel, in record time. It was minutes to seven, and I know Declan nor mother were awake, so I had to make this quick. “Kali, meet me at Black River later this evening,” I said, hoping she’d meet me there. She nodded, indicating that she’d most likely be there. “And, thanks for everything.” I pulled in for a kiss, but she turned her head away. I was puzzled.

“Bye Fiona.” She said, unlocking the car door. I left the car, heading up to my hotel room, wondering why Kali was acting so funny. The back of my brain was telling me something I didn’t want to admit: Kali was having regrets. I knew it.

I looked around, hoping my mother and Declan were in bed, not noticing my absence. They were nowhere to be seen. I opened my hotel door, and slipped into bed, acting as if I had been at the hotel the entire night.

I sat below a tree, waiting for Kali to meet me at Black River, like we had planned. I hope she hadn’t stood me up, and I hope she didn’t regret what had happened last night. It burned to know that she might just be playing with my head. I was about to leave, but then, I saw her, walking slowly towards me. I approached her.

“Hey,” I smiled, hoping she would share the same gesture as me. She didn’t.

“Hi.” She tried not to make I contact with me. It bothered me. I grabbed her hand, hoping she wouldn’t be startled.

“What’s wrong?” I then pulled the dreads from her face, exposing her beautiful eyes.

“Fiona,” she paused, trying to keep her cool. “Fiona! Stop!” I backed away from her, and I felt like she could see the hurt in my eyes. “Stop all dis touchy-touchy sinting.” I crossed my arms, ready to shout back at her. “Just back off, okai?”

I was confused. “You kissed me, didn’t you?” I could hear my voice crack. I was hurt. Why would Kali kiss me, then push me away. It’s not like she’s some cold heart-breaker… or was she?

“Yeah, but…”

“Yeah, but what?” I started to raise my voice. “You kiss me, then push me away. What the hell is that about?” I paused, realizing I was yelling at her. “You like me, don’t you?” I whispered, trying to understand these mixed signals she was giving me.

“Yeah, I do. But…” She gulped, as if she didn’t want to say what she was about to say. “Nobody like batty gyals.” She was whispering, like me, possibly because she didn’t want people to hear us. Luckily, we were alone.

“What’s…batty gyals?” I asked, hoping she would explain.

“Girls like us – Lesbians.”

“What are you talking about? My parents were totally fine when I came out to them – ”

“No. Over here. Enna Jamaica, dem nuh like batty girls, or batty bwoys.” I sat down, and she followed, continuing to explain. She cleared her throat. “People here nuh like fuh see dis, and they’ll try fi stop it.” I was stunned. Then I realized it all made sense. When Kali and I were walking back to the hotel the other day, and the natives were giving us intense stares.

“Wow.” I said, leaning back on the tree. Kali leaned back on the tree as well, finding my hand, and holding it. I smiled.

“But maybe da people nuh haf fi no about us.” She said, leaning her head against my shoulder.

“Yeah, maybe they don’t.” I looked at her, and she looked at me, and we kissed. This time, much longer than the first. The kiss intensified, and I felt her arm wrap around me, pulling me closer to her. I pulled away from her, trying to swallow in the girl’s beauty. I didn’t know what I was feeling. Was this what they called love? It couldn’t have been, because I’d just met her.

“I like this.” She said, biting her lip. The way she said it made me want her even more. “No, I love dis!” she exclaimed, pulling me in for another kiss. Damn, she loved to kiss. I love you is what I wanted to say, but I didn’t want to ruin the moment.

“So what do you have planned for tonight, Ms. Thomson?” I asked, hoping we could do something fun like before.

“Mi nuh know. I’m outta ideas.” She shrugged.

“Really? You? You’re the most creative person I know…” Were we flirting? It felt like we were flirting. Yes I think we were flirting.

“Oh really?” She leaned in closer, as if she was about to kiss me. But then I had an idea.

“Wait. When I was walking over here, I saw a cliff. Where does it lead down to?”

“Cliff? Oh, ya mon. That just goes down enna di rivah. It’s da deep part, doh.”

“How about we go skinny dipping? At night?” I asked.

“Streaking?” She said in disbelief. “Why not?”

“Yeah, let’s go to the cliff… tomorrow night.”

“Yeah, and invite Declan.” she said, chuckling.

“What?”

“Invite him. It’ll be fun.”

It was a deal: Skinny dipping with Kali and I…and Declan.

Author’s Note:

Not the strongest part, but a good part, right? I’d like to share that Jamaica is a very homophobic country, and listed as one of the most homophobic countries in the world. Actually it is illegal for a man and another man to make love (it’s not illegal for girls but whatever… ). Do your research. I hope you find this interesting. I also hope you get the idea of what Kali looks like: Brown skin, light brown eyes, long black locks. Capice?
