In Between

Love

I barely could sleep last night, feeling like I am preparing for my wedding day. He brings so much joy into me when we talk and to finally be with him is unexplainable. Oh, my freaking goodness Raina, look at that pretty ass, big ass jet, girl this is shocking me and you the one leaving. The sight of how beautiful and strong black it was, looking like some shinned patent leather shoes. He texted me to come to the Paramount Business of Jets location and I had no idea where he was talking about. After putting the location in the GPS, I was like oh okay, its an actual private jet charter location here in Biloxi, I just knew about regular airplane locations. I love you girl and I'll see you in a couple of days. Damn Raina, I love you too don't make it seem like I won't see you for weeks. James appeared as he stepped out of a black Bentley truck and opens my door. He ducks his head down in the car to speak to Taylor, hey there again Ms. Taylor, how are you? I am good J; Taylor says with a smile and a chuckle. Really, she calls me that around you huh, I like that he says, smelling so got damn good, I'm just staring at him smiling. Well shall we ma, he reaches for my hand to guide me out the car. My bags James, he looks up and nods to his driver, and the driver grabs my bags and takes them to the jet. I turn around to tell T I'll see her later and wave her off as she pulls off to leave. What was so breath taking to see, was he had a black carpet from the entry all the way to the jet for us to walk on. You look breath taking Raina, he still has my hand and holds it up as he twirls me around to get a good look at me. Yes, ya girl said if we are doing big things like jumping on a jet, I wore that Chanel dress to start the trip off right. My hair was parted in the middle and T freshened up my hair by adding some honey blonde color to it and silk pressed it out. I could breath too hard and it will bounce all over the place. My makeup was flawless, just a natural glow looking like a goddess. Thank you so much James, you look very good yourself, I see you. This man must have his clothes tailored made because every corner of his fabrics was laid in perfection on his body. He had on some casual gray pants, with an all-black Armani shirt, some black and gray jack boots by Taft, how I know, because I love them on men, my brother rock those. To top it off he had this all black mid length trench coat that was outlined in gray. This man is about to make me melt right now, he pulls me in close and wraps his arms around me so that we are face to face. At that moment I was shocked because I noticed James eyes are hazel and Jacob eyes are green, I can get lost just looking at him but now I figured out something that separates them apart. James eyes are softer and gentler when he looks at me as to Jacob them green eyes gives off that give me what I want now look. James bends down and kisses my lips with so much passion like he was crowning me to be his. My body is on fire, my body is weak at his touch that his kiss made me relax instantly. Was that too much? Realizing his lips was releasing from mine. Not at all I blush and let my head down, he takes his hand under my chin and lifts my face. Why you doing that? Don't ever let me see you have your head down. A part of me feels scared and he doesn't know it. Apart of me feels guilty because of the secret I hold. James gives me that feeling of wanting to let go and try the relationship thing again. I won't, you just seem so surreal to me right now, treating me like this, I haven't felt this important in a long time. You are important Raina, to me you'll always be important no matter what. I told you I fell in love with your words and just being with you, you have no idea what my heart desires for you. So just let me introduce myself more to you, can I do that? Yes, you can J, and I will reintroduce myself, let's go before they get tired of waiting on us. Oh, they won't move unless I tell them too, trust me. He continues to hold my hand as we began walking the black carpet to his jet and I felt like a queen and he was my king. I pray these days go by slow because it doesn't feel like its even started. Letting me on the plane first, I am in awe with the scene of the inside. Every interior is a blend of white and black trimming. Fruit trays are laid out full enough for ten people, champagne bottles on ice at least six. James this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, you could live on here. Yeah you really can, it's a bed and bathroom in the back, a small kitchen area too. this is so amazing, I wish T can see something like this. Well you never know maybe one day she will, as of now this is all about you, no one else. We take our seats and I guess I'm looking nervous or something because he takes off his coat and leans back to stare at me. What? is something wrong? Some on my face? Nothing is wrong baby, you say your shocked and can't believe all of this, I just must take all of it in myself because you are with me. You are an author and I admire you so you're like my celebrity. Oh hush J, you just talking mess. No serious, what a man can't feel that way? Yes, he can, I guess. Well I do, I feel good about having you here and it is an honor to be in your presence Raina. Would you care for a glass of champagne Ms. Raina? The same man who carried my bags is serving us. James look at me like are you going to tell the man what you want. Yes, I would like a glass, thank you. Open a bottle of that La Grande Dame Rose Steve, thanks man. Never had that before, is it sweet or semi-sweet? Really, its really good baby, one of my favorites when I am kicking back on a weekend, other times after long days of meetings all day I like to sip on some cognac but not often because I work out a lot. You work out huh, that's nice, I like to run myself in the mornings before work. See something else we have in common. So, you're not a drinker? No. I like to stay in the gym at least six times a week. You sure look like it I start laughing in a I am checking you out way. Seem like then runs keeping you in very good shape also, I can tell by them legs in that dress, that's good you like to exercise, its good for the mind, body and soul. I feel the same way, it's like I need it, it helps me mange everyday life, I feel free. So, you care to tell me where we are going. You like water? Yes, I love water look at where I live, I cannot swim though. The type of water that Biloxi has doesn't compare to what I am about to show you. Why is this place so special to you? Well a business partner of mines about a few years back invited me and my ex girl to his wedding. When we got there just the place within itself felt like I belonged, where I can get away and be free, just like how you want to feel. I thought you was about to say something about her, I was about to say this is not a special place if you had memories with her there. I do, she left me and went out partying with some strangers and left me to wander around alone. Later on down the line she confessed that she slept with one of his groomsmen and it hurt me so bad because I loved her but she was always fucking around on me, I never understood why I stayed, guess I was fed up. She was the wild type and I learned my lesson from her, I'm not even mad at her either, my life got better and that's that. Wow, I am so sorry to hear that J, that's so messed up, did you do anything to make her act the way she did, like it had to be a cause to an effect. No, I didn't, she was just a hoe and she knew I was soft on her so she took advantage of me, it doesn't only happen to women, men get some foul shit played on them too. It's cool, we were on the verge of splitting anyway, the only reason I took her with me is because it was a wedding invite and my brother had his baby moms with him, so I used her as my date. Damn, that's harsh to say used someone. You will find out more about that later, she used me throughout our whole relationship. Now look we almost there, come here so I can close your eyes. You mean get out of this seat belt and come to you while we are thousands of miles up in the sky, I don't know James. Woman you are okay, you can do that on here, besides I'm your protector, I won't let anything happen to you. I walk over and sit on his lap, he holds me in his arms just smiling at me. Are you going to do these staring moments all weekend James? Maybe, you never know, I love to see you. The pilot says we are arriving at our destination and after that glass of champagne I feel a little more relaxed, it was much needed. Okay baby, close your eyes and I'll tell you when to open them, don't peek either. I have so many butterflies in my stomach they feel like they are dancing around with the champagne bubbles. Okay baby in about one more minute. I feel the jet landing and my adrenaline is super high right now like I've drunk ten red bulls but with the champagne it balances me out, so I feel mellow, I feel good as hell right now. We have arrived at your destination Mr. Wright, the pilot can't be Steve, he sounds a lot different. So that's your last name J? Yes, it is baby, and what is yours? It is Price. I love that, Raina Price, my Ms. Price, that's catchy baby. Okay, I'm about to turn your around, are you ready? Yesssssss J, I whine like a two-year-old being cute. James turns me around towards the window and my heart drops while my eyes water up with tears, I didn't expect to get emotional but damn Englewood on the southside of Chicago is a long ass fantasy from here. Biloxi became my peaceful place and beauty but this right her was something you read about or see in the movies. John, tell my lady where we are please. John was a tall well-groomed black man with a bald head and a clean face, not a hair insight. He was muscular also like a bodyguard, I wouldn't expect him as a pilot but hey who said you had to look a certain way. Steve was even on the built side, but a fade hair cut and a small mustache no beard. You are at the Four Seasons Resort, Bora Bora, a private island paradise in the heart of French Polynesia. James! Oh my goodness J! I never heard of this place, I couldn't even look at him because I was teary eyed and didn't want to show it. Believe it baby, this is nothing, its more for me to show you, look at me. He turns me around on his lap, why are you crying Raina? What's wrong? It's just we just met, but from the first da I seen you I felt something inside of me that I haven't felt in a long time. When I did have that feeling it grew into pain from an abusive relationship, so I am excited and scared all in one, just not knowing where this will lead to. Lets get this understood right now Raina, first off I will not ever put my hands on you in any aggressive behavior, my mother didn't raise me that way, I do not want to play house with you so what I am working on with you is for real. I prayed for real love one day, I've been hurt really bad as you already know so we both will take each other slow and learn one another and enjoy one another. Listen to me Raina Price, I am a different kind of man, I am a real man. I think different, I look at life different, and my blood is thicker than many. I would not have flown to see you at your place of business to play with you, I've prayed for real love and loyalty from a woman and when I was hurting, I was reading your books, your words healed my broken heart. God brought me to you, and I need to know why. I am here to show you better because I've been hurt too, so let's figure this out together, is that okay with you? I take his face into my hand and kiss him gently, yes, it's okay with me, so let's figure it out.

Authors Note: This is so beautiful! I love the vibe between Raina and James they just vibe so well. He seems like the match for her, but I wonder when she is going to tell him about Jacob. As of now I don't want to hear anything about Jacob I just want them together. Taylor is such a good friend and funny as hell lol. I hope she stays one hundred with Raina. Let's keep this gong you guys I want to know more on how things will go with these two and how far.
