The day has finally come for a woman like me to build a life with my boyfriend of 6 years. His name was everywhere if you seen it you'd know it. He was the most handsome man you ever seen. Tall, chocolate skin, chiseled chest, nice smile and a third leg. Yeah I said it a third leg as well as deep pockets! Living a great lifestyle made just for a woman like me. I was finally at the alter willing to accept that big diamond ring to be placed on my finger and become a honest woman.
The church was nice well decorated in tulips along the isles as I stood at the back of the church making my way to the love of my life. Eyeing the room with the light colors lilac and creme for everyone up front attire present to the church who played a role in the wedding. The crowd was surrounded with family and his friends joining with us on our big day. Standing along the side of me was my best friend and many family members. But on his side he had brought groomsmen with only his homeboy in attendance. I smiled as the preacher finished so he could remove the veil as we turned face to face.
"Do you Yasmin Wilson take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do" I proudly said.
"Do you sir take Yasmin Wilson to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do" yelled the man behind his homeboy when the people in the church began to gossip amongst themselves.
Beep! Beepp! Beeppp!
I removed my sleeping mask to look over at the clock on the nightstand to see I was late for my hair appointment with my best friend. Every other week we shared our girls day on a nice Friday at noon chilling and having girl talk about men in a hair salon what was better than that. I sat up to notice Kevin didn't awake me once again. He came in the room as I was sitting up when I heard his footsteps coming down the hall. Kevin was drenched in sweat undressing as went to get in the shower returning from his run ignoring my presence. I joined him after picking out some comfortable clothing knowing I was going be in the shop for a while. I got in the bathroom to start my morning routine. The moment I got in he washed already and was getting out before I could even greet him going scurrying through our other bathroom entrance. Once again I was in the fucking dog house! I swear there was days he acted like he was the woman. After taking my time I was dress before heading downstairs when the maid came to me as I passed her in the hallway.
"Good morning Ms. Yasmin. Mr. Carmicheal said dinner tonight will be here he's inviting his boss over."
I took in the mental note shaking my head before taking the silver shined elevator downstairs to the garage to choose what car I wanted to drive. I mean to say me and Kevin aren't married I do have a business of my own as a real estate agent so my income was just as important. What was better than making money to just spend on me when he was paying all the bills by choice. Trust me I wasn't complaining. I chose the Porshe which was a Genesis G70 painted in a smokey gray paint with red leather seats. Everytime I get in this car I push it going into the city. Which I did barely even letting it warm up as the garage door open I put down my windows taking in that fall seasonal smell. I asked Siri to call the hair salon along my drive. It rang twice before someone picked up.
"Yes this is Yasmin tell my hair dresser that I'll be there in bout 20 minutes."
"Well I'm sorry she has another client in 20 minutes she said for you to come in and she'll get you after."
"Tell her I'll pay her double" I said hanging up the phone.
When I walked in everyone was laughing and talking when my hairdresser made the girl in the chair get up. It was nothing for me when it came to my service I was all about the money. Sitting down my best friend sat next to me in the other hair dressers chair getting her 26 inch brazilian straight hair installed.
"Damn bitch why you late this morning because Jordan told me that Kevin was at work early calling him in."
"Well tell Jordan I said to mind his business. Just morning I was having that crazy dream about having a fucked up wedding. Make him talk my man into forgiving me."
"I know what it is you just really want to be married but not to Kevin. Shit I wouldnt want to either!"
My eyes rolled before this turned into a speech again about how stupid I was waiting on someone who just wasnt ready as I was. It got to a point Kevin was hanging with the boys and I was home alone making sure everything was the way he liked it . At one point I moved to Atlanta and had no friends or family. Before long I started meeting celebrites that Kevin worked with who had friends on top of friends. Than before you know it I'm at work neglecting him and it kept going full circle between us. Now that I mentioned marriage he was changing up on me.
"Stop it you date Jordan and he a womanizer but I don't say nothing."
"Trust I know that but he loves me. Maybe Kevin dont want to be married and want to get through the rest of his black book before he say I do. God might be trying to warn you bitch."
"Girl he ain't even stupid enough to try me like that. If he satisfies me all night then what time he has for another woman?"
"Period" we all said unison.
Deep inside I was more afraid of how he may act if I don't stop missing our common dates for work. My phone went off and I answered it as my hair dresser began to touch me up while I stared in the mirror at myself. The person on the other end told me where to meet him at next week for another project. In response I told him I'd be delighted. Tonight, I wanted to spend time with Kevin tonight hopefully this meeting meant a promotion. He worked his ass off we better be coming up like the Jefferson's or something because I was getting annoyed with being on his arm as girlfriend. Shit I was beginning to miss out on the fun I'm only 24 with only a few months left before turning 25.
