Kia: I’m going to make sure you never forget this vacation
Kia: who knows, you might find-
Nia:* puts her headphones on*
“I’m sorry, I think you’re in my seat”
“Yes, my seat number is 335, which is where you’re sitting”
Nia: What is your number?
Kia: I want to sit next to you
Nia: Please find your seat, you’re only one row ahead
Nia: I’m really sorry about that
*getting ready for taking off*
Nia:*nervously tapping her nails on the side of the chair*
Nia: yeah, not really a fan of flying
Nia: no, I just don’t like it, I’m more of a road trip type of person
Tate: It’s not that bad just don’t think about it
Nia: I’ll take it you fly a lot?
Tate: Yeah, a lot more than I like, but you get used to as the time goes by
Tate: You going on vacation?
Nia: I guess you can call it that, what about you?
Tate: I guess I can call it both business and pleasure
Talking to him I didn’t realize that the plane had already taken off. *smile* thanks for the distraction. I guess I fell asleep staring at the window. I wake up feeling more relax than expected-
Nia: *realizing that her head is on his shoulder* Oh my- I am so sorry
Tate: you don’t have to apologize for that, look at this you wake up just in time for lunch.
Nia: do you have anything that doesn’t have shellfish?
“ I’m really sorry about that, I will go check in the back to see if I find something for you”
Nia: You don’t have to worry about it
Tate: you can’t eat seafood?
Tate: then why didn’t you take it?
Nia: My body responds to food differently when I’m under a lot of stress, I just didn’t want to take the risk with it.
Tate: Oh, I guess that’s understandable. On the plus side, we’ll be landing in 30minutes
Nia: awesome, I’m just going to listen to some music in the meantime.
Tate: Mind if I? I have my own headphones
Nia: Uhm… I’m not sure if you’d like my kind of music
Tate: It can’t be that bad
I bought one of the double headphone plugs for me and Kia, but she’s not here I guess it still comes handy
My playlist is on shuffle, I’m not really sure what will play when, but good luck sir Tate.
The plane is about to land so I have to pack everything in.
Tate: I’m impressed with your taste in music.
Tate: I was expecting a bit more millennials
Nia: I’m slightly offended
Tate: I didn’t mean to, it’s just that you look so young I wasn’t expecting such mature playlist
Nia: I guess I should take it as a compliment
After we get out of the plane, he stayed with me to wait for Kia.
Tate: so which hotel you guys are going to?
Kia: We’re going to “Le Fontaine Bleu”
Tate: Oh, we’re going to the same place
Kia: are you a stalker? you’re just saying that because we’re going there.
Tate: Not a stalker, I’m going over there for a business conference
Tate: My ride is already waiting on the outside, do you guys need a ride since we’re going to the same place?
Tate: well it was nice meeting you, Nia
Nia: It was nice meeting you too Tate
After he left, we made our way out. It took us so long to find a taxi, and when we get to the hotel it was pack, like what is going on?
By the time we get to the hotel, I was beyond annoy. I booked the rooms a week ago, now this lady’s telling me that the rooms are still occupied
“I am so sorry about that, but you’re gonna have to wait for a few minutes”
few minutes turns to 30, 40,60, 80 and so on
I am furious, I’m starving, my head hurt
Nia: *walks up to the concierge* excuse me, you said a few minutes, it’s been two hours
Kia: Sorry is not helping anything or anyone. I saw multiple people checked in, but we’ve been waiting here for the past two hours and still haven’t been able to check in yet. If you’re actually sorry you will get us our rooms. I am not going to sit back down again, they’re already paid for, I do not want a refund I want the room I paid for.
“Ma'am, can you please calm down?”
Kia: This is as calm as I get, I want to see your manager.
While Kia going off, I’m just sitting here letting it happen because I will go off if I go up there.
Tate: what are you doing here? you just got here?
Nia: I’ve been here for almost 3hours, the rooms I booked a week ago are not ready. The lady said to give her a few minutes, it’s making it’s way to three hours.
Tate: hold on let me check.
Tate:*walks up next to Kia* what’s seems to be the problem?
“Well sir, the rooms that they booked are still busy”
Tate: That actually has nothing to do with them, you’re going to make them wait until the rooms are ready? what if it takes two days? are you going to let them wait out here?
Tate: I am aware that you have the whole conference thing going on, but come on
“ Those were booked ahead of time”
Tate: I booked my room last night, it was ready as soon as I got here. they booked their rooms a week ago. Look, like I said you have a lot going on, how about you give them two different room until their rooms are ready?
The manager had to come and give us the room, I’m not sure why, but that lady was not having it.
Manager: Again I’m really sorry about that
Kia: You should really talk to your employees to be a bit nicer to your guests, I will personally write a good review for your hotel.
Nia: thank you again for your help
Kia: yeah, thanks. You know maybe later after we settle we can go for a drink?
Nia: Well, I guess that’s my cue to leave.
Tate: You might want to eat something first
Nia: I am beyond over the whole eating thing. I’m just going to take a shower and sleep.
Tate: That’s not really healthy
Nia: I know, but not really feeling it.
Tate: Okay, how about this?
Tate: have dinner with me
Tate: I’m going to the conference, that’s going to be about 3hours. you can sleep, and when you wake up have dinner with me
Tate: I’ll take that as a yes. Meet me back here at 9:30 *walks away*
I am just done for today.
My room is awesome, I guess they make up for the wait. I have the best city view, I wonder what it’ll look like at night.
I showered and head to sleep.
So I think I missed my dinner appointment since it’s 10:15. I throw on a dress and a converse and head downstairs.
I walked around everywhere until I find him in a bar
Nia: I’m sorry about that, I guess I overslept.
Tate: That’s okay, you had a long day.
Nia: Is that offer for dinner still on the table?
Tate: of course, shall we?
We got to the restaurant, I was beyond starving.
Nia: I really hope the food is good, I am starving
Nia: it better taste as good
Tate: so tell me about yourself
Nia: There isn’t really much to know about me
Tate: well I’m here for work and you?
Nia: well I’m here for- honestly I’m not even sure why I’m here. I was just, going through a lot, and I agreed to come here without even thinking about it.
Tate: want to talk about it?
Tate: Okay, well how about a personal life, boyfriend, Fiance, husband?
Nia: Well I had a fiance, but turns out I was not the only person he was with
Nia: It hurts, but life goes on right?
Nia: it’s okay, what about you?
Nia: why don’t I believe that?
Tate: why is that so hard to believe?
Nia: Well, you’re good-looking, successful, what are you a psychopath?
Tate: Well thank you for that compliment, but since you’re being honest, I am not seeing anyone, and I’m not a pshycho either.
Tate: I just haven’t found the right person to commit to
After we finish eating, we went to the bar for a drink.
Tate: So what’s your plan for tomorrow?
Nia: I’m not really sure yet, but I think it’ll involve a lot of sleep.
Tate: well I’m having a brunch meeting tomorrow, and then I’m free
Nia: Well I might need to check with Kia first.
Tate: she can come with us
Nia: I need to check first. You seem like you had a long day, you should probably go to sleep now.
Tate: I’m fine, besides I’m really enjoying your company.
Nia:*looks at him and smile*
Tate: what? Do I have something in my teeth?
Tate: do you like your room?
Nia: yeah, the view is fantastic.
We talk and talk about random stuff until I push him to go rest.
Tate: you know I still have energy right?
Nia: yeah, save it for your brunch tomorrow.
Tate: okay, I’ll see you later.
Kia: you look awfully smiley today, did something happened?
Kia: are you sure? You’ve been poking this waffle for a minute. What’d you do last night?
Nia: Well after you went up to your room, Tate asked me to have dinner with him
Nia: it was pretty good, we went to the bar afterward and just talk… it was very comforting I would say.
Nia: Well he wants to go walk around later this afternoon, I told him I would check in with you
Kia: come on you and I both know that I don’t like to walk, I heard the spa is off the hook, that’s where I’m going to spend the afternoon.
Kia: I’m positive go enjoy yourself you deserve it. Just keep your phone on, I’m going to download a tracker on the just in case.
Nia: I need one for you as well.
After breakfast with Kia, we went to the gym and then hit the pool. After hanging out there, I went back up to shower and get ready.
I don’t have his number so I have no idea how I will get in touch with him.
It’s about 3:45 right now I’m going to wait downstairs. For some weird reason, I feel very anxious and looking forward to talking to him.
Getting in the elevator I find him losing out his tie.
Tate: Hey, I’m sorry that took a bit longer than I expected.
Yea I’ve only been waiting for two hours.
Nia: oh no it’s okay, I was with Kia.
Tate: she’s not going with us?
Nia: she’s not really a fan of walking.
Tate: I’m just going up to change my clothes
Tate: it’ll be a second *pulls her out as the elevator stops*
Nia: I’ll just wait outside the door
Tate: I think that’ll be a little weird.
I got in, his room is just wow, did he pay for it? Why did he sit in the regular seat on the plane if he can afford first class seats?
Nia: what do you do for a living?
Whatever business he’s in, he needs to hook me up.
Tate: do you want to take a taxi or walk?
Tate: whatever you want to do
Nia: Well I guess can walk for now.
Tate:*chuckles* okay but let me know if you’re tired.
Nia: okay, how was the brunch?
Tate: it was alright, the food was good.
Nia: that’s always a good thing.
We walk, talk to look at stuff.
Nia: *stops at a window they sell kitty headbands*
Tate: we are not going in there
Nia: come on *pout and blinks uncontrollably*
Nia:*holds his hand a pulls him inside*
I feel very uncomfortable with how comfortable I am with him. You know when you meet someone and you instantly click or connected, besides Kia I have not had this feeling in a while.
Tate: you are not putting that on my…head
Nia: *puts it anyway, and started laughing*
Nia: wait I gotta take a picture of this. *takes a picture of both of them in kitty headband*
Tate: how many pictures have you taken today?
We did more walking, we eat street food along the way.
Tate: think we should head back now
Nia: yea, I need to use the bathroom first since we’re kind of far away.
Nia: Well, I guess that’s goodnight?
Tate: going to sleep already?
Nia: Well I just thought, you had quite a day and stuff, you might need to rest or something
Tate: oh okay then I’ll see you later
Getting to my room I throw myself on the bed and well I feel both good and disgusted since I’ve been walking all day I’m kind of musty
I meet up with my buddy Rick just to chill by the pool, I’ve been drinking since I got here I’m taking a break from it.
Rick: what have you been up to? you’ve been extremely busy, and I’m not talking about the whole business and conference thing either.
Tate: I met this girl and we just hit it off
Rick: you cannot hit it off with anyone you work with, everyone here is your competition
Tate: You don’t understand, it’s been a while since I’ve felt so comfortable with anyone like that. I went out for a walk, we had junk food, I spent almost six hours talking about random stuff and especially with the whole business thing, it feels refreshing not talking about it.
Rick: okay first of, you hate walking, and second where did you even meet her? most of the chicks I see here are not all that.
Tate: I actually met her on the plane, her friend sat on my seat, I tried to calm her down and this leads to that we end up in the same hotel and I guess there it is.
Rick: You’re not the serious in the relationship type, what you planning on doing just smash and pass?
Tate: not this time, the girl got cheated on by he fiance, I’m not going to be that much of a douche.
Rick: You still didn’t say what you are going to do?
Rick: so you’re not messing with her, but you also don’t want to get serious with her, yeah that explains nothing.
Rick: why don’t you call her down here
Tate: I don’t have her number
Tate: I just lose it whenever she’s around
Rick: do you even know her name?
Nia: you know I thought you would be sleeping by now
Tate: Nia, I guess I should say the same about you
Tate: Hey, what are you guys doing down here?
Kia: well it’s a wonderful night I don’t see why not
Tate: oh Right, this is my friend Ricky. Ricky this is Kia and Nia
Rick: are you guys twins or something?
Kia: no, My name is Kiara her name is Nia it spells N-I-A pronounce N-A-Y-A, and I’m a year older-
Nia: anyway, we’re just going to go to the pool
Rick: Mind if we come along?
Rick: what? do you know how hard it is just sitting here with just you?
Tate: if it’s okay with you guys
So we’re sitting here, Ricky and Kia are going at it. Nia just sitting here zoning out, I’m guessing she’s not that much of a talker either.
Tate: well what do you think Nia?
Nia: Well I think the whole thing is base on the person’s preference whether they want to date an older man or not. Both older and younger man has their fair share of immaturity. The same goes for the women, you might meet a 25-year-old who’s more mature than people who are 5-10 years older than they are, also some people in their 40s still can’t get their acts together. I think arguing about that is totally useless. In my opinions, I think it’s just about how you feel about the person, age is just a number.
Tate: Well what do you think sex wise?
Nia: what do you mean? look if it’s what I think you’re talking about, a man’s ego thinking they have to have sex with a woman to prove that they are a man or something.
Tate: and what do you think? do you think that’s true?
Nia: *looks in his eyes* do you think a man has had to have sexual intercourse with a woman to prove how manly he is?
Tate: there are plenty other ways to do that, with just the right touch-
Kia: are you both finish?
Tate:*looks at her smirking*
Kia: good, Nia ready to get out of the water?
Rick: Where are you guys going?
Nia: I’m going to change and go get some fresh air. *both walk away*
Rick: okay I see why you like her, and I also see why you can’t be with her
Tate: *gets out of the water*
Rick: You going after her?
Rick: YO Tate, you never listens to me
after changing I found her in the elevator looking as perfect as it gets.
Nia: thank you, you don’t look too bad yourself
Tate: thanks, so where are you heading?
Nia: well the sky is clear, I think it’s the perfect time to check out the beach across the street
Tate: Mind if I join you?
Nia: I wish I could stay here forever
Tate: Don’t wanna go home?
Nia: more like what’s waiting for me back home.
Tate: trouble with the fam?
Nia: The fam, his family, my job, if I still have one.
Nia: I know. Just the thought of going home tomorrow drives me crazy
Tate: You’re going home tomorrow?
Nia: Well some of us are not big businessman, I have to go back home to make sure I still have a job, if not I can’t max out my card. as much as I want to stay here forever, I have to go back home and be an adult.
Tate: what about your parents?
Nia: I moved out of my parents'’ house to be an adult, I’m not going to ask them for help *sigh* I don’t want to talk about that.
Tate: anything I can do to help?
Nia: we can stop talking about me.
Nia: what about you when you go home?
Tate: well my business is meetings are over, so I’m just going to hang around for a bit. you should stick around a to
Nia: did you hear anything I just said?
Nia: since today is the last day I’m going to see you, wanna tell me a bit more about yourself, like your full name or something.
Tate: Well My full name is Larenz Tate, I’m a businessman, I don’t have a girlfriend or a wife. I love to have fun, and that’s about it.
Nia: Well I should go pack
Tate: You’re really leaving me?
Nia: I did not come with you, and besides Kia can’t go home by herself
Tate: then she can stay with us
Tate: Look, I know all of this is sudden, but would you go on a date with me?
Tate: I’m asking you on a date
Nia: Look, you’re a nice guy, nicest I’ve met in a while, but I just don’t think-
Tate: don’t think just say yes. Look this is strange for me I have not asked a girl out in almost a decade
Nia: cause you’re a psycho?
Tate: *laughs* no, I don’t like women who are too forward and that’s all I’ve been getting over the past decade, women these days are just too focus on useless stuff like a title or the whole social media thing
Nia: what makes you think I’m not like that?
Tate: where is your cell phone?
Tate: you haven’t taken it out since you’ve been out here, and we’ve been here for almost an hour and you haven’t checked your phone. we went out earlier not once did you check any social media app, you just enjoy doing outdoor stuff.
Nia: how do you know I’m not some silent killer?
Tate: this has been the best weekend I’ve had in years, but you know what I guess I’ll try to satisfy with that.
Nia: does this guilt card work on every female?
Tate: only the one who turns me down, is it working?
Nia: no not working, I have to go pack *start walking away in then stops* by the way, I didn’t say no
Tate: you really don’t want to stay an extra two days? If it’s about the money, I can pay for you both to stay.
Nia: the irresponsible we want to, but the responsible me, have a lot of things to settle back home.
Tate: and about the date?
Nia: are you stalling so I wouldn’t go back inside?
Nia:*smiles* fine I’m going to sit here a bit longer, but if I miss my flight, you’re gonna have to deal with a very angry Kia.
Tate: I’ll gladly take the fall for it. You know it’s kind of chilly out, we should go back to the hotel and watch a few movies.
Nia: Okay, wait didn’t you want to stay out here?
Tate: Well, since you say okay to stay out, I figure I should put the time to better use.
Nia: I’m going to check on Kia I’ll see you in a bit.
Tate: okay, I’ll go set things up on my computer.
Nia: yeah, did I wake you?
Kia: no, I was just watching something. How was the beach?
Nia: what do think about Tate?
Nia: what do you think about him? As a person
Kia: He seems like a pretty good guy, from what I’ve seen. I didn’t talk to him a lot I can’t really tell. He’s good-looking, smart, and from what I’ve seen very successful, Why?
Nia: he wants us to stay another two days, and that he’d pay
Kia: hell yeah…. wait what did you say?
Nia: I said no, I need to go home and settle a few things.
Kia: Nia sweety there isn’t much to settle, from the look of it we’re both fired, we left three days ago without requesting the days off, going home now isn’t going to change anything, besides, don’t you have the money for you wedding saved up?
Nia: yes, but I can’t use it
Kia: yes you can, are you going to marry him when you go back?
Kia: there you have it, used that money to pay all the bills that you can for the next month, and besides you’ll find a job before you run out of money. We still have one more paycheck.
Nia: I’m not sure what’s crazier, the fact that you said that or just the thought of me considering it.
Kia: relax, our parents will probably kill us anyway.
Kia: yes, the main thing was for you to come here and have fun.
Nia: weren’t you supposed to be entertaining me?
Kia: yeah I’m glad he beat me to it, you know I hate walking. But if he’s paying, I can use two more nights on this bed.
Nia: you mean days? Cause you don’t really get out of this room.
Kia: where are you going now?
Nia: Well he wants to watch a movie, so I was checking on you before I go.
I’m beginning to think that she stood me up, it’s been almost an hour-
Tate: I thought you stood me up
Nia: no, I was talking to Kia
Tate: Oh, did you asked her about the staying two extra days?
Nia: yeah, I’m upset that she’s okay with it
Tate: two against one, majority rules
Nia: so what are we watching?
Tate: I’m not sure, I was waiting for you.
Nia: Okay let’s see what you got, you have Netflix?
Tate: yeah, but I don’t really use it as much.
Nia: are you kidding? Netflix is the go to when you want to just binge. You know Friday Kia stays overnight on Saturday morning we would spend the whole day just eat and binge on some stupid shows,
Nia: you look a bit tense you should relax sometimes. Get out of your tight suits, wear some sweatpants and breath.
Tate: I will keep that in mind
Nia: you should, we should watch Moana
Tate: Moana? what’s that?
Nia: you don’t know what Moana is? I’m ashamed of you that’s my shit, I guess that what we’re watching
Tate: we’re gonna watch cartoon?
Nia: not just cartoon, high-quality cartoon. huddle up.
So in all, we watched Moana, Mulan, we watched animations all night.
Nia’s still sleeping, in the meantime, I’m going to get some work done on the balcony.
Nia:*walks out and sit* You working?
Tate: No, I was just waiting for you to wake up *looking at his computer*
Nia: you still looking at the computer
Tate: I’m sorry, now you have my 100% attention *puts the computer to the side* what would you like to do? you know breakfast sounds good.
We had breakfast talk and more talking.
Nia: I guess I should go take a shower.
Tate: don’t wanna take one here?
Nia: I’d rather take one in my room, thanks for the offer though.
Tate: okay, so I’ll see you in a bit
I am doing my best holding so many things in.
Kia: does shopping count in this two days deal?
Nia: I don’t know, you should ask him that yourself
Kia: maybe I will, so what movie did you guys watch?
Nia: well we watched Mulan, Moana and I think something else.
Kia: you get him to watch animations?
Kia: you couldn’t get your fiance to watch a regular movie
Nia: I know right, but he seems like a workaholic
Nia: I found him working this morning
Kia: well to be able to afford all of this, he has to work
Nia: he’s probably waiting for me, I said I’d be out in a bit almost four hours ago.
Kia: why are you still here?
Nia: no, it’s just whenever I’m around him, I feel fuzzy inside.
Nia: you don’t have to say it like that
Kia: What? you haven’t had sex in like 8 months.
Kia: as if it makes a difference. I read that it is great to have sex regularly it’s good for the brain.
Nia: I’m just going to leave
Kia: Pshh I’m coming with you
I’m going to lose my mind.
Kia: it’s not her fault we were talking about sex
Kia: So since we’re staying two extra days for you, well more like her than me, but does the package include shopping?
Kia: what? I said I would ask, and you said go ahead
Nia: yes, I didn’t think you’d actually ask him *walks away*
Kia: where are you going?
Kia: well is that a yes or no?
Tate: whatever you want, it’s on me just name it.
Kia: sweet, well you two have fun.
Tate: where are you going?
Kia: I’m going to get ready to go shopping
Tate: you’re not coming with us?
Kia: and be the third wheel? no thank you
Tate: Okay, when you finish just ask for a guy name Ruben at the front desk
Tate:*starts walking away*
Kai: you know I’m gonna have to threat you at some point of the day right
Tate: It’s expected from a best friend
Tate: You’re not much of a drinker are you?
Tate: no lipgloss around the glass, you got it cause your friend was getting on your nerves but still can’t get yourself to do it.
Nia: do I look that predictable?
Tate: not really predictable, just an easy guess.
Nia: Well, I’m sorry about her, now, and for the rest of tomorrow.
Tate: it’s okay, we all have one friend like that.
Nia: do you only wear suits?
Nia: it’s just a bit- *looks at herself wearing jeans and a shirt* should I go change?
Tate: no no no you look perfect like that
Nia: you sure, I mean you’re wearing a suit and I’m wearing jeans and a t-shirt
Tate: are you comfortable?
Tate: then that’s all that matter, shall we?
Tate: I’m not sure where, but I rented us a car
*25minutes later beachside restaurant*
Tate: you’ve been really quiet
Nia: I’m not really much a talker actually, I’m more of an ask question and I’ll answer
Tate: what are your favorite things to do?
Nia: I love listening to music, read, binge on movies.
Tate: I was expecting shopping in that list.
Nia: I do that.. sometimes
Tate: what about your fiance?
Nia: ex-fiance, and what about him?
Tate: didn’t he ever take you out?
Nia: your last time with a woman?
Tate: last night, with you
Nia: I meant in an intimate way
Tate: the night before and the morning before I came here
Tate: what about yourself?
Tate: *whistles* you sure you had a fiance? or did you guys make some sort of pack or something?
Nia: No, he was too busy with his assistant
Tate: see that’s why I don’t always have assistants
Nia: why? because you don’t have self-control?
Tate: I have self-control, I know how to keep my thing in my pants. I just haven’t had the need to do so in a while.
Tate: because I haven’t been in a relationship in a while, I just don’t see the point in doing so.
Tate: well you don’t look too happy
Tate: the universal word of saying you’re not okay.
Nia: I’m okay, you know maybe we should head back at to the hotel.
Nia: I think I lost my appetite, I’m going to use the bathroom.
Tate: okay, I’ll clear things here and wait in the car.
So She’s mad, I’m not really sure what I said that upsets her, but the whole drive back she did not say one word.
Tate: Hey are you sure you’re alright?
Nia: I think I need to reset
Nia: Yeah, as in taking a nap
Tate: you call that reset?
Nia: yes, kind of like starting the day over
Tate: Will I be able to see you later?
Nia: we’ll see depend on what time I wake up
Tate: well I hope to see you later.
Kia: okay, why you look so miserable, and back so soon?
Nia: well we were talking and I didn’t like what I heard
Kia: what were you guys talking about?
Nia: I asked him when was the last time he was intimate with anyone?
Nia: he said the night before, and the morning before he got on the plane
Nia: I don’t know I guess, I just didn’t like that
Kia: you asked him a question, he answered and you got mad. and besides, what does that have to do with you? you met him afterward. The guy is good looking, successful who wouldn’t throw themselves at him? at least he’s being honest about it. look You got cheated on, you have every right to be cautious, or annoying asking stupid questions
Nia: you think that was a stupid question?
Kia: I’m not saying that the question was stupid, being mad about the answer you got was stupid. You’re not his girlfriend, why are you acting like he cheated on you?
Nia: Okay I need to take a nap
Kia: just letting you know you’re being very immature right now
Nia: thanks, I’ll go sleep it off.
Sitting in the bar with Rick, Kia walks in, I’m really not sure what’s up with her and this bar.
Rick: so where are you going with this?
Rick: Nia, what’s going on? This vacation is temporary
Rick: what about when you go back home?
Rick: come on don’t play stupid with me, are you going to look for her when we go back? What if she doesn’t want to see You? What if she has a boyfriend already?
Rick: so you’re the white knight? Do you like her?
Rick: T you have two girls for every day of the week, you think you’ll be able to give that up for just one?
Tate: you never know, it might work out
Tate: life goes on. I rather give it a shot than wondering what if.
Rick: You know that’s not going to be easy right?
Tate: you don’t have to tell me, I already see how jealous she is. *smile* it’s cute though.
After talking to Rick, I went back to the room to do some work.
Getting out of the bathroom I hear a knock on my door. I ordered room service cause I am starving, they come really fast.
Tate: wow that was really fast I was expecting-*opens the door to see her* Nia? What are you doing here?
Nia: bad timing? *seeing him wrap in a towel*
Tate: uh no, I thought you were room service
Tate: of course not, come in
Tate: you feeling better now?
Nia: look I come to apologize for earlier, I’m sorry.
Tate: what are you sorry for?
Nia: I don’t know if I acted rude or anything I’m sorry. That’s all I came to say.
Tate: Do you want to have dinner with me?
Nia: Nah, Kia bought me a book *holds up the book*, so I’m going on the rooftop with a drink
Tate: why don’t you read in here?
Nia: I don’t like being disturbed when I’m reading?
Tate: I promise I won’t talk to you
Nia: why do you want me to stay here?
Tate: I want to look at you
Nia: are you always this honest?
Tate: is it a problem? is that why you were upset earlier today? because I was being honest about the last time I had sex? you were being honest with me, I didn’t see the need to lie to you.
Tate: are you gonna go back to take a nap?
Nia: you going to tell me or no?
Tate: more than I would like to tell you the truth.
Nia: Why don’t you just pick one out of the bunch?
Tate: picking one isn’t as easy as it sounds
Tate: in my opinion, I think you have to find the right person to balance it all out. Getting out means the person must not be judgmental about my past life. she has to accept me just as I am, it’s not going to be easy either. Just like flying here for business meetings, there’s plenty of that, except if I had a woman, I’d fly back home the same night I was done with my business.
Nia: what about the ones you have back home?
Tate: I don’t have any, emotional connections with them so their happiness isn’t really my concern.
Nia: that sounds a little harsh
Tate: It’s not like they care about me anyway, they’re only in it for the money anyway, and I’m not the only they sleep with, we sleep together, they get pay well no strings attached.
Tate: Nothing? no comments?
Tate: I’m sure you have more to say.
Nia: I thought that too, but I guess not.
Tate: I’m not looking for that sympathy look
Nia: why are you telling me all of this?
Tate: I don’t want you to judge me, and you asked. *sigh* all this honesty shit is tiresome now I need a drink
Tate: there’s nothing to be sorry about, I just never have to explain myself to anyone in a while
Tate: you know, you can have a seat right?
Nia: hum *looks at the book*
Nia: okay *sits on the side of the bed* what did you mean by in a while?
Tate: Well I wasn’t always single.
Nia: you’re pretty good looking
Tate: thank you, but yeah I had a girlfriend
Tate: Well, my work got the best of me. Like they say, more money more problem.
Nia: the money got into your head?
Tate: Yeah, the money, women, alcohol, the job. she left me
Tate: yeah, she’s married now, I let go.
Nia: any favorite memories?
Tate: yeah, she loves to cook. I planned to send her to cooking school once my business takes off, but that never happened.
Tate: Not really, I look at it as a lesson for the next time I’ll know better
Nia: Well I really do hope you treat your next little lady better in the future.
Tate: yeah, I hope she won’t judge me either.
Nia: Well, If you pour all of this out and you get judged well she won’t really suits you.
Tate: would you date me after hearing all of this?
Nia: I should go get a drink *walks to the door*
Tate: Nia, you get what I’m trying to say right?
Nia: Tate listen, I’m glad that you feel comfortable and all but-
Tate: I know, this is all too soon, I mean you don’t know me I don’t know you, we met on an airplane, to tell you the truth, I don’t remember the last time I get this comfortable with anyone to spill out my gut like that, I know it’s been 5 days, but-
Tate: all it takes is just one look-
Nia: you know, now I can use a drink
Tate: you don’t even drink
Nia: I’m going to get juice *walks out*
*laughs* she’s going to drink juice. note to self, no alcohol
I can’t drink alcohol but I can use some useless advice right now
Nia: I know you’re not sleeping *knocks on the door *
Kia: *opens the door* Nia I hope you have a good reason to be knocking on my door
Kia: not really a good idea
Nia: you have someone with you?
Kia: Nia if you feel the same way go for it, unexpected things happen in life all the time, you don’t have anyone to answer to.
Kia: I know you I’m your best friend, maybe when you go back home you’ll have at least one good thing to look forward to. I know how miserable you’re going to be when we go back home, you can’t start your 30th years of life miserable, that’s not going to happen. maybe it won’t work, but you never know if you don’t try, and trust me I know it’s only been 5 days but-
Nia: It’s been four days, can’t you guys count? who are you sleeping with anyway?
Kia: do you really want to know?
This is all too much for me, I’m going to call it a day.
waking up the next day, I spend the entire time on my bed in my room, and also the next day didn’t really feel the need to get out of the room.
Finally going back home it feels like the longest five days of my life, now time to go back to reality. Packed my stuff, ready to leave.
Kia: I hope she’s not overslept
Kia: been doing that since yesterday, she didn’t even bother to get out of her room or answer any of the messages that I sent her.
Nia:*walks in* her you ready to go?
Kia: Okay, first of all, good morning to you too, and yes we’ve been waiting for you. what the hell happened anyway?
Nia: what are you talking about?
Kia: you went MIA yesterday, I called you and you never answered your phone.
Nia: oh, I slept the whole day, well half of it. The other half I had to mentally prepare myself for going home
Kia: did you think about what I told you?
Kia: okay, I think we should ride back to the airport with them since we’re all going to the same place anyway, but if you don’t want to, you and I can take a cab.
Nia: It’s fine, I’m just going to get a bagel and then we can head out.
Kia: Okay, I’ll take your stuff to the car.
Nia: what are you doing here?
Tate: I want to apologize
Tate: If tell you all those things made you uncomfortable, I’m really sorry. it’s just been a while since I was this comfortable talking to anyone about something other than business, if I made you uncomfortable I’m sorry *walks away*
Nia: wait *walks towards him* I don’t know how to cook that well, I can’t drink alcohol, I don’t know anything about business math wasn’t my thing in school. I don’t wear fancy clothes, I’m not much of a party person, I’d rather stay home and just literally do nothing, I don’t like to ask for help no matter how bad I need it. Whatever this is, if it’s even something…I don’t want to rush it.
Tate: *smile* okay we can take all the times we need
Nia: okay let’s go *walks back out to the car*
Tate: you forget your breakfast. *chuckles*
Kia: the one you went for?
Tate: I got it, *hands her the bag* here
We got to the airport get settle, check our things and now we’re up high. For some reason, he weasels his way next to me again. I’m going to make the time go by fast the only way I can sleep.
Nia: it’s okay, I probably wouldn’t like it anyway. Are we there yet?
Nia: good, I’m ready to go reconnect with my bed.
Tate: Lucky you, I’m just going to change, and head to my office.
Plane lands shortly afterward. Of course, he has his fancy driver waiting for him.
Tate: Well it was fun, back to reality now?
Kia: it was really fun..shopping with your card Tate
Nia: Kiara just go get the car
Kia: why do I have to go?
Kia: oh right, I’ll be back
Tate: when will I be able to see you? Any plans for this week?
Nia: Well, tomorrow I’m going to check to see if I still have a job fingers crossed, and maybe do some spring cleaning.
Nia: fall cleaning and I guess life goes back to normal, what about you?
Tate: work, work, more work, sleep, back to work again.
Nia: what do you do for fun? Do not say work
Nia: besides on women, what else you spend money on?
Tate: cars, I buy houses and put them for rent
Nia: are you happy with it that way?
Nia: Kia where is the car?
Nia: save it for later, where’s the car?
Kia: I think they might’ve towed the car
Kia: well I parked it over there, and it now it’s not there
Nia: isn’t this a handicapped spot?
Kia: there was no sign when I parked it
Nia: you know, maybe we should go back to the hotel
Nia: I’m taking a cab home
Kia: you’re just going to leave me here?
Nia: what do you want me to do? I didn’t drive, from the look of it, I should’ve.
Kia: Hey can you give us a ride?
Nia: no, give her a ride to get her car. I’m ready to go home. Thank you and it was very nice to meet you. *walks away*
