Morning After

Soulful Release



Jazmine rolls over to a empty space in her bed where an imprint was left from her boyfriend. Seeing a white piece of paper folded nicely on her night stand with the words Jazz written in bold cursive. She sits up slightly adjusting her body then picks up the note and unfolds it to read. Before actually taking the time to read it she was admiring the stationary he wrote the words on after looking over the note she began to read it.

Good Morning Beautiful

I hope you slept well because I know I did. If you're reading this then you must have realized that I'm gone to my station. I have a favor that I hope you follow please try not to cry. Not because of you but because I know I won't be there to dry them. For everyone else I ask that you will be my little soldier while I'm away. To hold everything together for everyone I know this will be hard and at times impossible but I know you can do this. Mmmm I'm really going to miss your scent and your warmth and your smile but don't fret I will soon be back home that's I promise I will keep. I love you beautiful or should I say beautiful Queen. You always were a princess as child and now that you're a woman you're a Queen. My Queen as much as I am your King. Remember I love you and I'll be home soon enough.

Sincerely, Huey Freeman.

Jazmine did her best not shedding a tear but she managed instead of going into natural crying fit. She actually cracked a smile she closed her eyes and sat there for a moment or two just thinking. After a couple of minutes she made a promise to herself and to Huey that she will hold everything down while she waits for his return. She folded the paper and put it in her keepsakes box where she kept every letter or love note from Huey.

She got up out her bed and headed to her bathroom to clean herself up. After an good hour in the shower calming her spirit she got dressed and grabbed her purse, keys, an cellphone she opens up the door to her surprise to find Cindy at her door.

" Cindy uh...what are you doing here?"

" Jazzy come here girl"

Cindy gives this enormous bear hug to Jazz and practically squeezing the breath out of her.

" Cindy girl please (cough cough) I can't breath."

" Oh my bad"

Cindy releases Jazmine from that death hold she calls a hug.

" (GASP!!!) damn girl you could of almost killed me. ( still gasping) I mean I know we had our problems but damn."

" My bad I'm just worried about you that's all."

" Why would you be worried?"

" Well because you know Huey and him going off to the army. And plus I called like hundred times on your cell and you didn't pick up and I thought something had happened to ya."

" Girl I'm fine look last night I had a talk with him and every thing's okay."

Seeing her best friend in such an good mood made Cindy worry even more. Only because Jazmine wasn't the type to get over something dramatic like this and be okay with it the next day totally not her. If she did that only means she is either in denial or suppressing her feelings.

" Look Jazz you don't have to put on a strong front for me you can tell me what's going on come on how about we discuss this over at Lilian Cafe with a mocha cappuccino."

Even though Jazmine really wasn't upset she couldn't turn down a mocha cappuccino with her bestie. It was one of her weaknesses so she agreed.

Getting into the car on the passenger side of Cindy's porsh. Cindy cranked up the radio to her new favorite song Beyonce's all the single ladies. They pulled up into a empty parking lot unstrapped their seat belts and went in to take a seat.

" Good afternoon welcome to Lilian Cafe"

" Yes a table for two and are there any tables seated outside?"

" Um yes there is right this way Ms. McPhearson."

" They know you're name?"

" Well I called and made reservations earlier I thought you might need a pick me up and a girls day out."

The girls took their seats and looked over the menu. They both ordered a double chocolate personal cake with a mocha cappuccino. It was their thing to order a dessert first before a meal. The waiter took their order and menus and went off.

" Okay spill what's really going on with you Jazz?"

" Like I said earlier I'm fine there's nothing to discuss I'm absolutely fine."

" Jazz don't lie to me."

" Who's lying you asked me what's wrong and I told you nothing that's not a lie."

" Oh please just the other day you we're crying you eyes out about Huey leaving and now the day has come where he is actually gone and you're telling me you're fine come on Jazz. I may be a blonde but I'm not blind and I'm not dumb I know when you're holding something back from me please just tell me."

With Cindy's voice starting to soften down Jazz couldn't stop looking down at her wrist at the bracelet that Huey had gave her on their first date. She was fondling the charms between her fingers. She a soft warm hand grip her hand. Jazz looked up to see Cindy holding her hand with so much concern in her eyes.

" (sigh) Look Cici I'm not denying the pain I feel okay. It's just, me crying about him being gone is going to solve anything. And it's not like he's not coming back. I mean yes I am sad that he was drafted but I don't want to cry or think how lonely or how much I will miss him because then 6 months is going to be 6 years. And I have to be strong for everyone else around here."

" Jazzy you don't have to be strong by yourself we're here if you need us know that. All of us are here for you me, Caesar, Simone, even Riley."

Jazzie couldn't help but smile at the thought of Riley showing the slightest bit of concern for her feelings.

" I know but speaking of Riley how are you two doing?"

" Girl we are fine last night he took me out to dinner at my favorite place."

" Girl you lying"

" Jazz if I'm lying I'm dying."

" Whoa whoa are we talking bout the same Riley Escobar Freeman who thought if a girl is taken out to eat she's a hoe? That Riley?"

" You heard it right"

" Damn I don't believe this wow I never thought in a million years-"

" Why you sound so surprised I mean I know Riley is no walk in the park but he ain't that bad. Underneath that thug life bullshit he is a really sweet guy and even though he don't look or at the part he do have something going up there in that head of his."

" Hmm I guess so. So are you gonna finish telling me what happened or what."

" Okay so he takes me to Essence my favorite spot and after dinner he grabbed my hand and kissed it. And he put his hand round my waist and was telling me in my ear how much he loved me and that he wanted me to be his forever. Then he told me to close my eyes and after I opened them he had a box for me he opened the box and there where the cutest earrings."

" Awwe that sounds so sweet and romantic....are you sure we're talking about Riley."

Cindy rolled her eyes and smiled.

" Hey jazz you wanna see them?"

" Hell ya let's see what your boo gave you."

Cindy pulled back her hair and revealed the precious earrings Riley gave to her last night. The earrings were pure gold with Mrs. Escobar engraved on one side and thug mizzez engraved on the side and hanging from the earrings are butterflies with a pink sapphire in the center.

" Damn how much he spent on them?"

" A grand and some dollars."

" A GRAND AND SOME DOLLARS!!!"

" That's what I said and listen up" Cindy looked around and motioned for Jazmine to come closer.

" Last I got another gift."

Jazmine wasn't quite following Cindy until she saw Cici raise her eyebrow.

" (MAJOR GASP ) YOU AND RILEY HAD SEX!!!!"

" Girl will you keep it down and yes and no"

" What the hell you mean yes and no either you had sex or you didn't which one is it?"

" Well it wasn't sex sex it was oral"

" So you and Riley did 69?! O-M-G WHERE!!!"

" Well after we left Essence he took me home to my apartment and then he kissed me on my lips then my neck I opened up the door and slammed the door shut. We were so focused on being lip locked with one another that Riley tripped over my feet and I feel on top of him."

The waiter came dropped off their order and and set it in front of them.

" So sorry about the wait ladies it's really busy here you go two turkey bacon club sandwiches and two double chocolate personal cakes with two mocha cappuccinos."

" Whoa whoa sir we didn't order and sandwiches" Cindy stated

" Oh it's compliments of the chef on the house. Apparently the chef felt very bad for the your order taking so long um enjoy."

" Is it our lucky day or what?! So you were saying."

" Oh yea so (takes a bit out of here club sandwich) we're lying on the floor and just rolling around making out on top of each other. He starts to lift up my skirt and starts pulling down my panties and that's when I stopped him saying how I'm not ready for sex you that stuff and then he was like well what then what do you wanna do?"

" So I started unzipping his pants and I started giving him you know and then ( takes another bite of her food) mmm...so good. And then he slipped off my panties and I climbed on top of him with my head facing his dick. So he slid my body down enough till my pussy met up with his lips and girl.....mmmm so so good."

" I know this turkey club is delicious."

" Jazzie I wasn't talking bout the food."

" You mean Riley-"

" Oh yea he is. Girl I'm telling you his tongue acts just like a snake like this ( she swallows her food and sticks her tongue out flicking it like a snake) just like that."

" You is so nasty you and Riley are made for each other."

" Oh I know you ain't talking lil mizz nasty you are just as guilty and you know it."

" I don't know what you're talking about."

" Oh I see you wanna play dumb okay then please tell what went on last night for you to have a hickie on neck that must have been some talk between you and Huey."

Jazmine started to blush as she was thinking about the events of last night. See touched the hickie on her neck and her cheeks started to turn a dashing red.

" Oh my oh my I do believe Ms. Jazmine that you are blushing and anytime you blush like that you be with holding something big so come on spill I told you mine now you gotta tell me yours."
