Double The Cost

Micah is flying down these narrow, dark, bumpy roads. My eyes are fixed on Marisol. She displays an uncomfortable smile. Through a shaky voice, I say, "Micah, please slow down." Looking through the rearview mirror, he replies, "I'm sorry, Ajay, but we're almost there. The boat's leaving soon." The dock and boat are behind the gas station. Zelma and an older gentleman are waiting. Micah jumps out, pops the hatch, and runs my suitcase to the boat. Seeing Zelma brings me a little comfort. Grinning, she says, "We meet again. This is my dad, Dean." Dean looks questionable. His boat is big and lavish, but he's rather homely. Tipping his dingy fisher's cap, he says, "Time is money. We can get acquainted during our ride." "Zelma, are you riding?" I ask. "Of course. I was accepted to the Upper Michigan University." "Oh wow. That's great." Before I complete my sentence, my wound starts burning. Wincing, I cusp it. Eyes shut tight, Micah sighs, "Her bite." "Her bite?" Dean repeats. "

Communication Isn't Everything

Contemplating if I should go with Jude and hear what he has to say, someone taps me. It's Dexter again. He's sizing Jude up, but Jude never acknowledges him. Motionless, Jude stands staring through me. "What's up, Ajay?" asks Dexter. Now extending his hand, he says, "Hi, I'm Aaron's frat brother Dex, and you are?" Transfixed on Dex's hand, Jude looks at me, then shakes Dex's hand, answering, "Knight. ...Ajay, We'll talk later." Jude gets into an SUV and drives off. Frozen like a deer in headlights, I watch where Jude left, unable to think. "Who's the weirdo?" Dexter asks. I chuckle, "A weirdo and a stalker at this point. Are you here for me and Lana?" "Lana's here? Then you know it! ...After you, beautiful." The bar is filled with Aaron's frat brothers and my soror sisters. I'm in my zone, drinking and trying to have fun, but my mind is consumed with Jude. Lana shoves me with her shoulder, asking, "Earth to Ajay! Have you heard a word I said?" I let out a loud, uncomforta

Troubled Waters

Andrew's spitting and sputtering, trying to conjure up a lie as I rush to my car. He's sprinting toward the driveway's entrance when I floor my ride. His face displays terror as he dives on the side of the road to avoid being run down. I'm doing 150 miles per hour down the highway. There are only two lanes, and I'm driving on the side by the ocean. My first instinct is to go to the Masons' home. Delilah opens the door and grins, "To what do I owe this visit?" "Hi, Delilah. Is your nephew's girlfriend here?" Batting her eyes, she asks, "Why?" "She has something that belongs to me." Gaping, she shouts, "Aaron! Someone's here to see you." Aaron jogs up, and instantly, he's angry. Still watching me, Delilah asks, "Where's your girlfriend? Mr. Knight claims she has his belongings." I sigh, "Aaron, I'm not here to cause trouble, but I need Ajay. She has something that belongs to me." "Guy, is this a joke? We're not on a first-name basis. Aunt Dee, Ajay fucked this bum, so I dumped

Cunning As A Serpent

First thing in the morning, I call Professor Benoit. Spritely, she answered, "Good morning, Ajay.""Hi, Professor.""Having a bad day?"Yeah. I've been sick.""So sorry to hear that, but have you heard about Zelma's father Dean?""No.""He was killed on his boat during a storm.""Oh, no!""Yes, so tragic. Zelma returned home two months ago. Jude told me he tried to tell you, but you weren't pleased to see him."Feeling like less than nothing, I lament, "Oh wow. I feel so stupid.""Sadly, they just found his remains and are having a memorial this weekend. Would you like to go there with me and return home together?""Home? Your home isn't Knight Island?""No, that's a vacation home. Anyway, say we meet ..."She pauses, and I hear whispering in the background. "Professor?""Sorry, Ajay. I'm reading my schedule for Friday."I groan, "I'm so sorry, Professor Benoit, but I'm really sick. Please text the details, and I'll let you know if I can make it.""Oooh, kay...""Hello?""That'll be g

Promises, Promises

We pull up to Jude's home. It's much grander than Phyllis'. She still has a way to go to be in his league. This is what I say to myself to make me feel better. Jude escorts me to his living room. It looks so elegant I gotta ask, "Did you design your home yourself?"In his own head, he squints, asking, "What? Please have a seat."I sit, and he continues, "I know Micah and Marisol gave you an earful. May I ask what they told you?""They didn't tell me anything. But I need Marisol. She has a cure for this bite you gave me."Carefully watching him, I softly continue, "It's infected." Dazed, he answers, "They told you it was a bite?""They told me nothing. Why don't you tell me what it is?""It's a hickey gone wrong. I was sucking, then I got carried away and bit you.""It's been four months. Why won't it heal if it's just a bite?""Let me see it."He walks over and starts peeling my gauze back. My eyes are glued to him. Once it's bare, he gives his lips a sensual lick and then looks away

Stalking 101

Jude never returned, so I left with Phyllis and Lana. We have a girls' day at the spa, eat at a five-star restaurant, then relax on the beach. Phyllis has to update her syllabus, so she allows Lana and me to use her Porche. Lana wants to grab souvenirs from the shopping area. I say, "Fine. I need to do some shopping myself. Say we meet back up in 30 minutes."Side-eyeing me, Lana asks, "What are you up to, Ajay?""Nothing! I'm just ready to relax. We leave tomorrow, so I'm not trying to be out shopping for hours."Still suspicious, she grunts, "Mhmm." Once Lana looks away, I sneak out of the shop and drive toward Jude's home. Before I exited the parking lot, I saw him with Andrew. Trying to watch and park, I leave the car parked crooked at the end of the lot. They enter Dean's gas station and then exit from the back. Peeking from the side of the gas station, I watch until they get on the peer. Both are staring down like they're searching the water. Andrew calls out, "Jude! Look!"J

Love, The Conquerer

Phyllis tells me no before I ask for anything. I sigh, "Things are so out of control. Are you going to turn on me too?""Where are you, Jude?""At my lakehouse."It'll be night soon. Unwilling to hurt Phyllis, I chain myself in the bunker and then call her again, saying, "Never mind, do me a really big favor. Please take Ajay and Lana to the villa.""I'm done with your little whore. They both were very disrespectful. At least Deena knows her place.""This is not the time, Phyllis.""Upset over your call, Ajay ran off, and Lana followed. I have no idea where they are anyway.""Just go home then.""What?""I have to go find them. Bye!"I power off my phone. The sunsets, and my mind returns to Dean's boat. I know he's drifting towards Florida instead of the Bahamas. Before I confront him, I hear a thump underneath us. "What's that?" I ask."What's what?"Immediately, I head towards the bottom deck, and the door opens. It's Micah. "Micah, why are you here?""To save you and Ajay. Why wo

Waxing Crescent

Joined at the hip, Lana and I stumble over each other, trying to run. Breathless, I stop whispering, "We're safer if we just run. We're going to be okay."Sobbing, Lana nods. I take off, leaving Lana in the dust. I have to keep stopping to drag her along. I see a dilapidated building and tell her, "We're close!" Finally, we are out of the woods, but now we're on an open road. Though nostalgic and fun in the daytime, this little desolate city looks eerie and terrifying at night. We hear another gut-wrenching howl, and I think of Jude, then look up at the moon. There's an unflattering crescent moon glowing tonight. If myths about monsters are true, it can't be a werewolf. A sigh of relief releases from me, and I smile at Lana, saying, "It's just a wolf or huge dog. We're ignorant of this island life. We'll be okay."Chest raised, Lana exhales and nods. Catching our breath, we start walking. Suddenly, we hear a growl in front of us. Quaking with fear, Lana squeezes my arm and points

The Tour

Once dressed, I exited the bathroom to find Lana sitting on the bed. With a panoramic scan of me from head to toe, she says, "You look nice. Have you gotten some enhancements? Maybe a small BBL?""What? You know me better than that.""You're getting thick, girl. These island feasts are sticking in all the right places."Discreet, I examine myself in the wall mirror, and my thighs and calves are bigger and more defined. "Hmm." I grunt, then say, "Maybe you're right."Glancing at her watch, Lana asks, "Why are you looking for him, sweetie? He's not worth all of this."Head hanging, I say, "I know, but I need answers for myself. Okay, he's a cheating, low-life dog, but somehow he hooked me. Too, I need his pathetic family to know I didn't run with my tail between my legs this time. They may be afraid of some old witch, but she's a nobody to be."Lana replies, "I feel ya, but then what? Trust me, I get it. You saw me be a fool for Marcus, but was it worth it? Did I accomplish anything bes

Elevation

Today is graduation. All my sorors attend. Even Aaron and Tyler attend. Both have apologized a million times, and Aaron's still working overtime to get me back, but I'm different. We're friends, I guess, but we'll never be a couple again. Professor Benoit transferred to another university. I'm sure she ran back to Knight's Island for Jude. When I first learned she was no longer here, it bothered me, but now I'm okay. Just as Lana said, he's not worth me.Aaron rented a Rolls Royce for me and my sorors to ride to the stadium. My soror Bethany says, "You are a fool to reject Aaron. Hey, I'm going to keep it real. If he ever approaches me, I'm dating him. Will that be okay?"Lana interjects, "Absolutely not! If you want your ass kicked, then by all means date him. If not, respect the sisterhood." We all laugh. After graduation, my boss, Mrs. Kent, greets me, "Congratulations, Ajay. I'm so proud of you. I'll see you in two weeks at 9 a.m. sharp.""Thanks, Mrs. Kent. I'll be there."I'm
