He's already smoking when I enter his black Crown but he smiles when he sees me.
"We're going for ice cream."
He drives out of parish but I don't question why we have to go so far just for ice cream.
He drives all the way to Negril.
Chillpops.
He smiles when he sees that I realize where we are.
"It's the first thing that came to mind." He admits.
We go to get a variety of different stuff to try and walk along the beach.
While walking we see a jerk man.
"Want something?" He gestures to him after finishing his popsicles.
Badman a nyam popsicle.
I nod so we go over to the man and I get jerk chicken and pork with all the sauces, festivals, corn and coleslaw while Tego gets jerk chicken and bread.
We go over to a large empty rock and sit on it while being shaded by the huge palm trees and watch the huge waves crash and glisten under the setting sun.
"Look deh." He points at something that jumped back in the water. I didn't even get to see it.
"Just watch."
I keep my eyes on that section of the water then I see two fish jump out of the water and back in.
I screech from shock.
Flying fish?
In Jamaica?
He chuckles at my reaction. "Nuff people neva know seh flying fish deh a Jamaica and if yuh tell some people them a guh seh yah idiot."
I nod while listening to him.
"Dem fish deh supposed to feel alienated."
I push my eyebrows together. "Why yuh seh dat?"
He shrugs. "Cause most other fish dem size deh just know water suh them just different. Other fish can just be jealous of them just because they can't jump out of water and see what's going on above them for a second."
Is he talking about fish?
"Rest a di fish dem a pussy." He laughs to himself. "But some fish and dem can be cool still."
His eyes meet mine. "A nuh just fish stay suh. All a wi a di same ting."
I nod again at him.
"Why did you say yes?" He asks, still staring at me.
"To seeing you?" I ask.
Duh.
He rolls his eyes and sighs. "Yes."
I shrug my shoulders. "You didn't really give me a choice."
He nods slowly while still staring at me.
"But if a just pussy yuh want then you can let me know." I say to him which earns me a smile.
"No.." He trails off and glances at the waves then back at me. "When that's all I wanted, I made sure you knew but now I want to get to know you."
"Then why were you so weird the entire time I was at your house?"
He sits up straight. "What do you mean?"
"Like you came to me and then you ignored me the rest of the time."
He narrows his eyes at me. "What did I come to you with?"
I blink at him but his expression is the same- challenging me. "You know..." My voice trails off.
He shakes his head. "No. I don't know."
He stands up. "Why don't you be more specific?"
I cock my head at him and he returns the gesture. "Well then I guess you don't really have anything to say."
I nod and the finish up my food and join him in standing.
We walk back to the car in comfortable silence with the last bit of the sunset pouring down on us.
"A nuh everything good fi talk." He says to me with his eyes fixed on the logo of his car's steering wheel once we get seated in his car.
I push my eyebrows together.
"And overall what happens between two people should stay between two people." That's when his eyes meet mine then he sits up and starts the car.
"Bedroom talk is private. That's not everyone's business."
I can't believe this man thought I was going to explicitly say what happened the last time.
I mean I kinda understand why he would think that but he's the one that made it weird but even if I was going to say it- it's just the two of us.
Once he pulls out of the parking lot he turns to me again.
"Are you comfortable coming back to my house?" He asks.
I nod so we drive with his music in the background while we go to Freeport in Montego Bay to an apartment while he sends some texts.
"Close your eyes so I can lead you." I raise my eyebrows at him which causes him to laugh a little. "I know you don't know me well but don't worry."
I sigh. "Alright then. Sure."
I hesitantly come out of the car and he walks behind me with his hands over my eyes.
We walk up some stairs and then I hear a door open followed by his voice. "Open your eyes now."
I am immediately met with slow music in the background distantly and a candlelit rose petal path which I start following that leads me to the bathroom with a huge jacuzzi filled with bubbles and rose petals and where the music is the loudest.
There are two charcuterie boards filled with endless combinations and wines on buckets of ice.
"Wanna get in?" I hear him behind me.
I spin around to see Tego in only his boxers prepared to go in the tub.
"I'll go in." I give him a smile and watch as he watches me carefully taking off my clothes and sink into the jacuzzi greeted by the bubbles and the jets.
He joins me and gets one of the charcuterie boards and begins making me combinations to try. He pours me some wine.
"See why these are interesting? Because this that I just made you would never taste good unless it's with some Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio like what you have there." He smiles at me.
"But it's cool though that you can make so many combinations."
He nods.
"Is this fun to you?" He looks at me.
I don't break his eye contact. "Yeah, I like this."
I try to fixate on the music playing in the background.
Glu.
He leans over and kisses my neck as I down the rest of my wine and almost immediately I become very aware of what this man beside me is capable of.
"Good." He whispers against my neck as I feel his hand begin to rub my inner thigh which causes my breath to hitch in my throat.
"Tego?" I manage to breathe out.
"Mhm?" He hums against my neck so the throbbing begins.
"I want you to fuck me." I breathe once more.
He flips over on to me in the same breath and uses his legs to push mine apart while looking at me.
I become an excited kind of nervous from feeling him rubbing his friend on my centre.
"What do you want again?" he asks while still rubbing.
I feel the sensations running all over my body and it is all going right to my heat, my source of throbbing that I need to be immediately relieved by this man on top of me.
Even though we're in water I know he can feel how excited I am and I can feel it from him as well.
I grab on to his neck and bring his ear down to my lips. "I need you to fuck me."
He immediately pushes everything in me causing me to let out a small scream and I feel his friend pulsate in me.
"That's all I wanted to hear."
He keeps a steady pace before bringing his hand down to my clit and use his big finger to make steady circles on it.
I grab on to him and drag my finger nails down his back which makes him pick up his pace in both of his rhythms.
I hug him and bring his ear to my lips so he can hear my breathing and I lay there listening to his as well.
He keeps his finger on my clit and begins moving his hips in the same kind of circles.
That awakens something in me that I never knew I had and I release a very foreign sound as I approach my high and become slush under Tego's body.
His movements grow sloppily then I feel him pulse in me a few times and then he pulls out and throws down himself beside me trying to steady his breathing.
"That was good." He breathes out.
