tell him what
happened.   I did feel better after
spending time with him though. My headache from the stress of the morning was
finally gone. See, that’s what Darrin did for me. He was my friend, my stress
reliever, my lover, my confidant. He was all those things and he was such a
sweetheart. To try to patch things up with Jake now was too much of a gamble.
It was pointless. I knew what I had and I was not about to put that on the line
for a possibility.

 
          Darrin and I
stopped by his cousin, Lance’s truck shop on the way to the house. Darrin was
part owner, though he didn’t spend much time there. He considered himself a
silent partner because all he did was invest money, he didn’t really do any
work there; unless it had to do with some money. I was sitting in the car
waiting for Darrin to come out when I received a text from Jake. I dropped my
head and took a deep breath. ‘I’ll be in town tomorrow and I want to see you’,
it read. Of course I didn’t respond. There was no way I was gonna to meet up
with him after everything that happened. Not to mention I had already
established the fact that I lose all self-control when I’m around him. Going
anywhere near him was simply out of the question. Darrin gave me a strange look
when he got in the car. He said I looked different; whatever that means.
          The evening drew to
a close and Darrin and I settled in for the night. One thing that we both
enjoyed was music. Darrin turned on Pandora and we laid in bed, in silence, enjoying the serenity of the atmosphere. I laid
on his arms caressing his sun kissed skin as the sound of Lauryn Hill’s Sweetest Thing echoed in the background. I loved
Darrin and I never wanted to be a part from him. In his arms was exactly where
I wanted to be; forever. I planted kisses on his chest as he massaged my back.
Darrin made love to me that night like he had never done before. It was almost
like he was marking his territory. Like he wanted me to know that I belonged to
him and he made it clear that he was not going anywhere; and I didn’t want him
to. I kept asking myself, how long I thought that I could keep up this charade?
How long before Darrin got suspicious; if he wasn’t already? This was just too
much pressure for anyone to have to deal with and for what.

          The next day was
much better. I decided that if I could keep my distance from Jacob then I would
be just fine. So much for wishful thinking. As I was leaving my house heading
to work Kyle texted to let me know that my ‘boo’ was in town and that he wanted
to see me. I made it good and clear that I did not want to see him, and even
had a few choice words for Kyle to relay back. I stopped by Starbucks for breakfast before going to
the office. Starbucks always made me
feel better. When I arrived at the office I began to get that feeling that I
get when some bull is about to go down. Still I was determined to have a great
day.

 
          As I reached for
the door to my office, my secretary, Ashton, tells me that she’s already seated
my appointment in my office. Knowing damn well I didn’t have any appointments,
I knew exactly what it was. Some bull. I walked in the office and sure enough,
there was Jake standing to the far side, curtains drawn, looking out of the
window, with his hands in his pockets. I sat my breakfast on my desk being that
I had lost my appetite. I walked over to the window, put my hands in my pockets
and looked down towards the street.
    “This is a pretty good view”, he said looking straight ahead.
    “Yeah, I like it”, I responded mimicking his posture.
    “Starbucks huh”?
    “Yeah, I don’t go by there often ‘cause I’m trying to save my
coins for my wedding next month”.
    “So, you gotta pay for your own wedding”?
    “We’re a team”.
    “Team”?
    “Cut the crap, Jake. Why are you here”?
    “You”, he said looking in my direction, “I want you. I told
you until you say I do,
