Chapter 28: It's time...


I stood there looking at myself in the mirror. I seriously can't stand the woman I've become. How could I be doing what I've been doing for the past few weeks? I've always disliked cheaters and here I am one...a CHEATER! 

The day I went over to Colin's house had been a mistake and I promised myself that it wouldn't happen. I had to tell Jose. It wasn't fair for him to think that his girlfriend was being faithful. He's been nothing but sweet, loving and everything you can ask for in a boyfriend...and I was just a liar and a cheat and worst of all a SLUT!

"I am nothing but a SLUT and a WHORE!" I yell out loud. 

"Baby girl what's wrong?" Colin runs into the bathroom concerned.

I'm still standing in front of the mirror, him behind me. "I can't do this anymore Colin...I feel like such a slut. How can I be Jose's girlfriend when you and I...when y-ou...!" I start crying, Colin turns me around and hugs me tight. He has been comforting me for the past weeks since I have been an emotional mess.

"Shh...shh baby girl! I don't EVER want to hear you call yourself those names...do you understand?" cupping my face in his hands he looks deep into my eyes. 

"How can I NOT Colin? I have a boyfriend and I've been fooling around with you! If I were doing it to you I'm pretty sure you would be calling me all kinds of names...I know I would! I've been cheated on and now...I'm the cheater!" I tell him pulling away walking back to my bedroom.

"P...I know you feel bad about what we are doing...but you can't blame yourself! I was the one who initiated it...I'm the one who couldn't let you be with another guy. So if you want someone to blame and call names...then let it be towards me...not you!" he tells me grabbing my hands and pulling me towards him.

"You may have initiated it Colin...but I was the one who didn't stop it. I let you...over and over..."

"...and over...P, you didn't stop me because you feel something for me. So don't beat yourself for having feelings for me." he says putting his forehead on mine.

Sighing deeply I exhale. He's right, I have some type of feelings for Colin and I don't know how or why. All I know is that I feel like I could be myself around him and for some reason he makes me feel...really good.

"Break up with him P so you and I can start our lives together...no more hiding...I want the world to know that you are mine and I am yours!" he tells me bending down to kiss me on the lips and like so many other times I let him. It's time!

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

It was Wednesday night before Thanksgiving and my crew and I were dancing a few sets at a club for the 'Gobble Gobble Night' they have every year. It was packed like usual and we were getting ready to get on stage. Colin and some of his friends showed up and were sitting in the VIP section by the stage. My friends don't know about Colin and I, especially Antonio who would flip out on Colin if he knew. He still hates him and I doubt he'll warm up to the fact that I want to be with him.

Antonio and I were standing on the side of the stage to get on when he turned around and tells me "Peepsqueek...you know I love you right?"

Taken back by what he said I scrunch my face then giggle "Of course I do Antonio...I love you too!"

"...you also know that I always wanted what was best for you...right?"

Pursing my lips I stare at him wondering where all of this was coming from. "Yes..." I draw out.

"Good...I want you to be happy...always have and always will. You deserve it baby!" he tells me pulling me into a tight hug then kissing my forehead like he does every time he's being sensitive. He must be having a moment.

"O-kay...I want that for you too...!" I tell him hugging him back. Antonio has always been my comforter and security blanket since we were younger. He's saved me many times from myself and I am so blessed to have him in my life...even though he annoys the hell out of me half the time...I wouldn't trade him for anything.

We stay in our position for a while quietly until we were announced by the DJ. Inhaling and exhaling I look at Antonio and nod then go on stage when we hear Rico Love's "They Don't Know" Remix come on.

I nonchalantly look to my side and see Colin who is staring at me with a smile and clapping. I wink at him without Antonio seeing and start our routine. I get into my zone and start moving my body. I love this song...it reminds me of Colin and I's situation at this point. 

I'm so into the routine that at the end of the song where my back is turned away from Antonio the song goes off...

Turning around confused I went to look at Antonio but it wasn't him standing there...it was...Jose?!

I take a step back...what the hell? What is he doing here?

Jose is wearing a very nice suit and smiling from ear to ear. Stepping forward he reaches out for my hand and holds it. I don't know what is going on. 

"Hey sweetheart!" he says pulling me into a hug then kisses my lips softly.

"J-Jose...what are you doing here?" I say confused, looking around I see Colin's face. He looked as confused as me.

"I came here to see you...and to ask you something..." he says taking my hand. 

I begin to get nervous and look around. On the side I see Antonio, Aesha and Kee Kee smiling at me...it looks like a set up...I gulp and look back at Jose who I notice has a mic hooked up to him...

"P, we've only known each other for six months...but this past six months have been the happiest I've been since I was drafted by the Marlins...when I first saw you in Miami, I knew I wanted to meet you and ask you out. You said no because of your past experiences with athletes but once I pleaded my case to give me a chance and you finally did...I knew that I had to show you that I was different from the others. I am so happy and thankful that you gave me a chance and when you said yes to becoming my girlfriend...I thought I was the luckiest man on earth. Now, I'm wondering if you would make me the happiest and luckiest man alive once again...?" he says taking out a small box out of his suit jacket and dropped on one knee. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!

He opened the box showing me a gorgeous diamond ring that I know cost a lot. Gasping and putting my hand over my mouth he grabbed my other hand and said "P Rodriguez, would you do me the honor of being by my side for the rest of my life by becoming my wife? P...would you MARRY ME?"

The club was quiet until I heard a song come on which I recognized as Jason Derulo's "Will You Marry Me?".

I stared at Jose who was waiting for my answer and the crowd around us began to yell "Say YES!" but I was speechless. I looked at my friends who were laughing and smiling giving me the thumbs up. Antonio nodded his head as if he was giving me his blessing...now I know why he was acting strange before we got on...he knew! They all knew Jose was going to propose to me tonight!

I shook my head when I hear Jose's voice "Baby...are you okay?"

I snap my head towards him and look to my side where I can see Colin glaring at us. Colin...his fists are clenched and I can tell his jaw is also. He looked pissed and if looks could kill...Jose would be dead. His eyes turned to me making his expression soften...he looked sad.

"Baby...will you marry me?" Jose asked again which made me look back at him.

"I-I..." I began to stutter. I closed my eyes feeling dizzy. Opening them my vision began to blur and Jose became double. What is happening?

"P?! Baby are you alright?" Jose gets up quickly and holds my shoulders...his voice becoming distant.

"I-Jose...I don't feel well...!" I whisper feeling my body shut down and falling. The only thing I remember is darkness and the faint voices of people screaming my name especially a familiar one...

"Baby girl...!"...Colin.
