Jasmine

Cuba was beautiful. The sights were just so exotic I couldn't help but be amazed by the many places I've seen. It's been a total of two years since I've left my life and everything with it besides my son, I've grown independent and smarter, no longer am I the stupid and naïve girl that I use to be at the disposal for men and all of their desires. Now I am Jasmine. In charge of my life and all things I want.

"Ms. Walker a message has been sent for you" looking up from under my glasses I watch Albert, the busboy who clearly has a hard on for me. It's quite amusing to say the least. He's always hanging by waiting on me hand and foot waiting to see what's the next command. Reminds me of my old self but in a male version, he likes it when I boss him around and command him to do things for me even if it wasn't in his job description like going down into the kitchen to give me some ice cream at 2am when he's clearly supposed to be home.

"Leave it Albert" I pick up my fruity drink and stare out at the beach that Elijah has come to love. He gets so excited about being out here I love the smile on his face every day I think about the dangerous life we left behind, but we'd return.

Albert puts the note onto the side table but stays still at my side like a dog. Rolling my eyes and sighing I turn my attention back to the busboy and give him a bored stare. "And you're still here because?" I ask harshly, he doesn't even try to hide that he's ogling me in the slightest. Coming back to realization he blushes and quickly scurries off but not too far from me. I shake my head and laugh at how adorably annoying he is.

Finally grabbing the note, I recognize it to be one from my parents. They are the only ones that know where me and Elijah are. Eric talks to him over the phone, but I haven't given him the location.

Jasmine, it's your father he's gotten worse, and the doctors don't think he has long. I know that you don't want to return home but he's asking for you. Please come see him this might be the last time that you see him. We miss you and Elijah. Come home please.

Reading those words my heart and mind go haywire. My father is getting worse from the lung cancer, and I'll be damned if I let what happened in my life two years ago determine If I can see him before it's possibly too late. I knew I couldn't hide out in this beautiful place forever, but it was fun while it lasted. I will miss the beaches and the food. Especially the food.

Well, I guess it's time to face the music.

Packing was difficult. Already I had a total of five bags and that was Elijah's closet alone, I still haven't touched not one thing in my own and I'm exhausted now. Deciding I needed help I called or Albert from the resorts phone and instantly he was here. opening the door at h9is constant knocking I let him in and instruct him. "Okay, I need help packing my closet and I need this done no later than twelve so that I can be gone by 10am tomorrow morning" He frowned and looked at me confusingly.

"You're changing rooms?" he asks, I shook my head and tell him that I was going home. "Ms. Walker if you don't mind me asking... will you return?" He really was so adorable, but he wasn't for me, and I don't think anyone could ever really be for me but him.

"No" was my simple answer as I walk past him and into the walk-in closet to start this tiring task that's about to take place. "Hurry up Albert I don't have all night to deal with your emotions. Either help or call someone else to come" with that he hurries to my aid and helps me pack all my things.

Making it back home wasn't much of a hassle. I made my flight on time and survived without dying on my way here but, the questions about my father pounder in my head the whole way here. I wonder if he's doing okay today. Elijah was so tired from the flight that I didn't want to take him to the hospital I guess a surprise visit to his fathers will make both of them happy.

Eric not so surprisingly stays in the same house. It looks just the way I left it, all the memories flash through my head and I laugh at how dumb I once was. I've learnt to laugh at my own pain these days it gets a little weird, but I can't help it. knocking on the door twice I wait until I hear someone unlock the door, I hold Elijah's hand and wait until the door opens wider and there stands a woman in nothing but a dress shirt. Covering Eli's eyes, I watch as the woman's eyes go wide and she's gaping like a fish out of water.

"Is Eric home?" I ask not bothered by her obvious discomfort. She looked from me to Elijah and back to me as if she's seen a ghost. I wanted to barge in and just find Eric myself but that would be rude and an evasion of his privacy, so I waited patiently for her to come to her senses whenever that was going to be.

"Babe who's at the door- Jasmine! Elijah!" Eric finally makes his grand appearance half naked as she was. He runs and captures us in a bone crushing hug that I awkwardly return. I haven't been hugged by a man in two years and this wasn't helping that he was almost naked. it was just awkward.

"W-what are you doing here! I mean I'm fucking glad you are here it's just... wow I've missed you both" his hold got tighter, and I got more uncomfortable. pulling away I stand back a step away from him and look at Elijah who was just as happy to see his dad. I smiled and told him that Eli had to stay with him until I got back from the hospital with my parents.

"You can stay here! We can play games and have dinner and-"

"No thanks. I'm more than capable of finding a place to stay but Eli can stay if he wants" I look and he's nodding his head franticly. I smile and give him a hug and allow him and his father to have the time that they've missed with each other. I don't bother to comment on how he didn't even introduce his girlfriend but it's none of my business and I could care who the hell she was anyway.

"You do know that he's going to find you?" she finally speaks as I'm making my leave. I stop and turn around to face her fully. she has a frown on her face as she takes in my appearance. Apparently, she knows me, but I don't know who she is.

"Who?"

"Alexander, if you think that you could escape him then think again because he's going to find you and when he does you can kiss this life goodbye. You broke his heart and left him a shell of who he was and now you're walking around as if you're a queen but not for long" she spits, I'm sensing she doesn't like me all that much.

"I don't think I'm anything, I just know" I say and leave her again a seething and gapping mess. I wasn't scared of Alex, no not anymore, he wasn't the cause of my nightmares, but I know now that he's going to know I'm here and I'm sure he's going to come for me but until that happens, I will be walking around like the QUEEN that I am.

What a joke.
