I really hope so.
Chapter 27 Javonte
“You’re really going to the Bahamas and not taking me?”
I pinch the bridge of my nose. I should’ve lied to her and said I was going somewhere boring or cold.
“Lily needs a break, and we’re going together.”
“I need a break too.”
I can’t tell my sister what I want to happen on this trip is part of why she can’t come, but she’s pushing me to the edge with her questions.
“You’re going to be a third wheel.”
“Lily likes me.”
“Zea,” I finally say in my most authoritative voice.
‘Don’t dad voice me. I don’t listen to him either. I deserve a trip. I know you’re trying to get in Lily’s pants this time, but I want to go somewhere and hang out with you in luxury and style.”
I want to correct her, but it’s not worth it. The goal of the trip isn’t sex, but I’m hoping it’s a benefit I reap.
“I love how you feel comfortable enough to ask for what you want.” I mean it too.
“How would you know what I want if I don’t ask?”
I chuckle. That’s factual.
“How about this: I’ll take you somewhere in two weeks. Just you and me.”
“For how long?”
“Four days.”
“Where?”
“Somewhere warm.”
“With a beach?’
“With crystal clear water.”
“And fluffy robes?”
I can’t help but smile. “If that’s what you want.”
“Don’t take me to Florida.”
“Do you have a passport?”
“No.”
“Then it might be Florida. What’s wrong with Florida?”
“Everything.”
“You know what...I gotta go. I’ll call you when I get back.”
