Fionaette left to go get dressed and I smelled something sooo divine to my soul.. It was so many savory smells that were lingering through my nose I had to follow the smell..

I came down the long beautiful hallway which draped over the sand because this part of her home had glass floors..

Her kitchen was huge and so full of island vibes..

"It smells so heavenly in here.."

I said looking over at Bryshere who was standing next to the chef laughing..

"Wassup beautiful.. come on over here and meet the chef.."

He said walking towards me and guiding me to where they were.. he stud behind me holding on to my waist..

"I hope my sister didn't traumatize you too much.."

"No she didn't at all.. we was doing us, get off her hater.."

I said pushing back towards his pelvis..

"What is that smelling so good?"

I said holding my head high..

"Oh That would be my mans Herman over here..

Herman this is Reign..

Reign this is Herman, Chef and soon to be my brother and law.."

He said pointing

between the both of us..

"Watagwan Reign.."

He said bowing his head and shaking my hand..

"How ya like it here so far?"

"I think I've fallen in love.."

I said admiring his beauty..

Sheesh Fionaette got her one..

Herman chuckled a little tossing his dreads away from his beautiful face..

"Yeah it's so simple to enjoy..

I hear you admiring the smells.. I've made everything from Callaloo Soup on down to Jerk Chicken and even fresh Salmon.."

"I LOVE Callaloo! My mommy use to make it for me a long time ago.."

He nodded..

"Would you like a Grenadian bomb island drink while we wait for Fi?"

I smiled..

"Yes please.."

"Alright. Well I'll get everything togetha.. y'all go out into the balcony to the feast table, Fi should be out in a minute eh.."

Herman said taking out the blender..

I nodded as Bryshere lead me out the side door of the kitchen to the balcony with a beautiful dinner table that had umbrella huts draping over us..

Bryshere sat by me where we were facing the beach..

"At first I was nervous but I'm glad you brought me here to share this experience with you.."

I said laying on his shoulder..

"I'm not sharing anything Reign.. this is your experience, everything we do from here on out is our worlds colliding.."

I laughed..

"That's called sharing our worlds silly.."

"I don't like the word, share.. It's like telling you I'm giving you something that was a piece of mine.. But I want you to see that this is yours to.."

He said winking at me..

"Hmmm.."

I said as Herman came out with a rolling table full of food looking so damn good and smelling even better as he placed our lovely drinks in front of us..

Fionaette followed behind Herman..

Herman began to lay all the dishes out on the table..

"Um.. can you get up and give ha some air.. she be alright so find another seat across from ha.. it makes it sexier and more mysterious.."

Fionaette said to Bryshere as he smacked his lips and she sat down by me..

She smelled so good..

Something like a sexy palm tree with the wind blowing..

"Girl you smell amazing!"

I said admiring her figure in the outfit she changed in..

It was a backless crop top that was a soft shimmer gold with her breast free..

She had on a the matching shirt sheer skirt and her skin was glistening with gold body shimmer..

"Thank you girl.. I made it myself with some things I picked up at the local market and a couple of oils I had laying around.. it's all natural.. I'll have to make you some before you leave.."

I smiled nodding taking a sip of my drink...

Herman sat down across from Fionaette as did Bryshere across from me..

"Ya glad I put on something!"

Fionaette said rolling her eyes at Bryshere..

"Yes! You coulda covered up some more but that'll do!"

He said rolling his eyes..

"Boy don't make me shove this Callaloo down ya throat.."

She said flicking him off..

"There you both go.. Don't start that tonight.. I promise they really do like each other sometimes Reign.."

Herman said shaking his head..

"I know y'all hungry, let's eat before y'all start talking crazy once more, eh.."

We all made our plates and began to eat..

"So I'm just curious of how you guys found out you both were brother and sister?"

I asked curiously..

Fionaette bust out laughing and Bryshere rolled his eyes..

"Not this story again!"

Bryshere said wiping his mouth..

"Yeah this story again I wanna know!"

I said looking back and fourth at them..

"He so O.D. I swea'..

it's really not all as bad as he make it.."

Fionaette said grabbing My arm laughing..

"She about to be making me look so crazy out here!"

Bryshere said shaking his head..

"Uh no I Not! You have an effortless time doin that all on ya own.."

She stuck her tongue out at him and looking over at me..

"Soo about six years back he think I was sleeping around with our fatha'.."

"Nah its not like that.. Him and my mom had been going through some things.. apparently a long time ago our father had an affair on my mom with Fionaette's Mom.. My mom knew but I didn't know and I thought he was cheating on her again so I followed him around and seen him with who I didn't know was my sister at the time cause niggas like to lie.."

Fionaette cut him off..

"Yaaa... Hush I got the story from here.. so he come bust in our fatha's building that him and Yazz Mom own right..

So gurl, gurl.. he bust in talkin' bout,

'Daad how could you sleep around on Mom! And she's under half yo age..'

So after his fit we got him to calm down we finally got him to believe a lie about how I was just his secretary or something.."

She said chuckling..

"Alright! That's enough.."

Bryshere said holding up his hand..

"Nope! I needs to hear this!"

I said putting my hand up at him across the table..

"Yea So hol' ya boxers and be quiet BOY!

So like I was saying so weeks go by and I start coming around more and His Mom and our dad thought it was best if he didn't know about me.. and that's why they were arguing because our dad thought it was time he knew about me and his mom wasn't feeling that.. so 2 weeks go by and I literally become our dad's secretary right.. GURL!

So he decided he wanted to have a little crush on me.."

Bryshere smacked his lips..

"Hush ova dea'!"

"Yea.. it's getting juicy.."

I said looking over at him as Herman laughed and made us some more drinks..

"So, GURL GURL!

He come up dea' to the building fah like 4 days straight drenched in hella cologne and tryna look all swagged out eh.."

We was both dying laughing..

"Awe You was tryna get your baby mack on Bry.."

I said teasing him..

He crossed him arms smacking his lips and reached for his sunglasses and Fionaette reached over the table snatching them from him..

"No ain't no hiding from this one negro, we need ta be seeing allat facial expression eh..

So like I was saying, so he didn't say anything he would just come around smelling like 100 pounds of lucky cologne and tryna get my attention always flashing his little baby Rolex..

So he finally come up to me

and he tell me say

'Let's just stop playing games can I get your number so I can take you out?'..."

My eyes are wide open while she's telling the story and I'm noticing Bryshere's mannerisms.. I'm completely dead in laughter at this point.. She continued

"So I didn't burst his little pride bubble yet I tol' him, no but you can meet me at this address.. So I pull our dad to the side cause I'm disgusted and totally freaked out.. I'm all like look we gotta tell him and if he get mad he just get mad I can't keep up with this lie you feel me it's starting to get creepy.. So our dad and his mom agrees..

So I meet up with

Yazz lata' on that night and tell him everything and of course as usual he had to be extra..

That's why ya such a good actor huh little brotha'?"

"Man look out.. I was not extra, I wasn't even really mad I was just creeped out that I tried to spit game at my sister.. I wasn't mad that she was my sister I was just mad that they kept it from me for so long.. me and my dad didn't talk for like two years after that.. But me and Fi been cool ever since.."

He said smiling at her..

"Yeah that's my little heart right dea'..."

She said reaching over pinching his cheek..

"Aww that's so cute and creepy.."

I said wiping my fake tears

"Mmhmm so why she not your lady?"

Fionaette said raising her eyebrow at Bryshere..

"Huh what you talking about girl?"

He said looking at her than me as I remained quiet..

"She tell me ya drag her across the world and all y'all doin' is chillin! Ya know betta than that.."

"I just want us to enjoy each other and experience everything about one another before we make anything official.. we agreed.."

I raised my brows..

"We didn't agree on anything.."

I said tilting my head taking and bite of my salmon..

He smacked his lips..

"You know you mine though right?"

"No! She don't know nothin' boy.. You can't expect her to just keep giving herself to you.. I know you get busy but I always tell you that you need to learn to balance your personal life and your Limelight!"

It was silent as I played with my food looking away..

I don't think I even asked myself these questions..

Am I even ready for a relationship?

Do we have what it takes to be in a relationship with each other?

I know how he makes me feel but is that enough..

"I mean it's cool FiFi.. I enjoy what we have in this moment.. And I'm cool being like this as long as he stays true and honest.. I know how I feel but I don't know if that's enough to carry a relationship yet.."

I said shrugging my shoulder..

He glanced over at me squinting his eyes

"I mean it's quite simple..

Bryshere do you love Reign.."

He sighed and paused with hesitation..

"No we not doin' that.. It's simple do you love her, it's just a quick yes or no?!"

He nodded..

"Yes.."

"Reign?!"

"I don't even know what love is anymore.. I just know I think about him even when I try not to.."

She smiled holding on to my hand and looked over at Herman..

"Than it's enough.. More than enough.. God will work out the rest, he always does.."

Herman said..

"Come on Fi help me put this stuff up.. Y'all need time to talk.."

Fionaette nodded as they cleared the table and left back inside..

It stayed quiet for a second before I spoke

"You hesitated.."

I said looking up at him..

"What you mean?"

He asked calmly..

"The day on the balcony at Tarajis you said you loved me when you seen me about to leave.. But just now when she asked you, you hesitated.."

"Reign I..."

I held out my hand..

"Look it's no big deal Bryshere.. don't justify it I know what the hesitation meant.. As long as you remain keeping in a hunnid, we good.."

I sighed..

"Look I'm going to take a shower and freshen up a little then take a dip in the ocean.."

He nodded..

"I'll be here.."

My heart dropped.. I wanted him to tell me he wanted me.. I'm asking him for honesty and can't be honest with myself.. it's just when he hesitated it brought me back to that dark space with Julius when he wouldn't claim me and I can't go through that anymore.. I won't go through that anymore..

But honestly I wanted him to tell me that he wanted me as his.. I'm glad he saved me from myself though.. I don't want him forcing a feeling.. I just can't help but feel like these feelings I have about us being together are mutual..

I walked through the balcony hallway that lead to the kitchen where Fionaette and Herman were both cleaning and play fighting..

I smiled watching them..

"Oh gurl I ain't see ya standing dea'..

Watagwan honey dip?"

"Oh nothing much I just wanted to freshen up and take a shower.."

"Oh yeah girl follow me I got everything set up for you.."

I nodded as she took me on a little tour of her palace and then showed me where my room would be and the bathroom..

"I had the chauffeur bring y'all things together in this one room because I just assumed but if you don't feel comfortable with this, like I showed you there's 4 other guest rooms and there's also a little outhouse in the back that sit directly on the island.."

I smiled..

"Thank you Fionaette.. thanks for all you gracious hospitality.."

"Anytime.. Oh before I forget hol' on.."

She ran out the room and come back with a little mini glass that had a dropper attached to it..

She placed it in my hand..

"Put two drops on each sides of the shafts of your necks.. same on each thigh and wrist when you get out the shower.."

"Oh well I was gonna take a dip in the ocean.."

"Don't worry bout it.. Do like I tol' ya, trust me.."

She said smiling..

I laughed

"Okay I got you.."

"Alright enjoy your shower eh.."

I nodded as she left out closing the door and I got my things out to get ready and take my shower...

Bryshere's POV...

"How'd you mess it up this time?"

Fionaette asked interrupting me and Herman playing dominoes..

"What you talking about girl?"

"Don't play me dumb boy!"

She said going upside my head..

"I didn't do anything I swear.."

"Whateva! I gwan to the beach and smoke.."

She said heading down her steps..

"Bye than!"

I said shooing her off..

"Bye you NEGRO!"

She said flicking me off..

Herman shook his head..

"You two are impossible eh.."

"Man that's her.. always starting shit!"

I said slamming down my bones..

"That's GAME! Rack um' up!"

He laughed..

"See that's cause we played Philly style.. you ain't willing to play island style Bones dea' BOI!"

"There's no such thing as Island style bones BOI!"

He laughed sitting back opening up a Corona..

"Oh trust me it's a thing alright.."

He said passing me a joint he had just lit

"Here BOI! Take this and let it fill your baby lungs, grow some chest hairs.."

I laughed

"I do this Herm what you mean!"

I said taking a big hit and feeling my chest explode..

"What ya mean by ya do this? What ya be doin', choking? Cause that's what all I seeing eh.. give me that before you be too high and panic boi.."

I laughed passing him the joint..

"Man I'm a pro at this.."

He laughed..

"Yea Okay pro.."

We sat back feeling the breeze..

"I don't mean to pry but you know Fionaette is right.."

"Here we go.."

I said rolling my eyes..

"I'm serious.. I'm telling you what I know..

There's nothing to wait fa'.. what you waiting on?"

"It's not just me.."

I said looking at him..

"Yeah it is.. women always want us to protest them and pursue them first.. It makes them feel good and protected.. Like they not alone in this or being used ya know.."

"I hear you g.. But she's not ready.."

"Oh she's not ready, or is it you?..

You're not ready and she can see that..

Women have these things called intuitions, and I don't know HOW THE HELL.. but they're always right about how they feel and always know Watagwan.. All I'm sayin is if you feel her and you love her like you say you do than do something about it.. she's being cool about it now but she won't wait forever.. and it's gonna hurt when you see her move on.."

"Look I want to be with Reign.. and in a way we have this unspoken thing where she knows she's mine.. but we just feeling each other out for now.."

"She's yours?!"

He said chuckling at me..

"Yeah.."

"Boy you must have jumped off the deep end and landed head first with that one..

The question is are you willing to be hers.. this isn't a dictatorship.."

"All I Do is think of Reign.. I don't want anyone but her.. I see a future with her I just don't want to rush it.."

He shook his head finishing his Corona..

"I hear you.."

He got up..

"Well I'm bout to go chill with my baby.. but just remember I tell ya dis..

All a relationship is, is figuring it out.. no one ever gets it right.. it's going through the notions together and be with one another.. that's where it counts the most.."

He said heading towards Fionaette...

I watched them embrace each other so naturally and wondered what that would feel like with Reign.. I mean I imagined it a million ways before but it was more vivid now..

then I thought about how it would be moving on without her in my life.. I couldn't have that..

I decided to take a shower and get my thoughts together...

I walked to my room I stayed in last time I visited here and Reign had just stepped out of the shower and dropped her towel..

I shook my head from getting lost at how her frame looked from the water droplets racing down her golden skin..

"My bad.. I'll just grab some clothes and go."

I said covering my face..

"Are you mad?"

She said laughing putting her wet hair up in a bun with a little England accent..

"Why would I be mad?"

She laughed again..

"It's a Harry Potter joke you wouldn't understand..

Look you don't have to leave I told you we good.. we came on this trip together to be with each other and enjoy being in each other's presence..

You seen me naked just like I seen you it's no biggie.."

She said shrugging as she bent over pat drying her legs with the towel.

"Look I'm cool with just experiencing us as we are okay... no strings.."

"Look Reign I.."

"REIGN!"

I heard Fionaette call from the outside of the window..

"HURRY UP GURL! YA GWAN MISS THE SUNSET LOOK GOOD ON THE WATA'!"

"OKAY IM THROWING ON MY SWIMSUIT NOW!"

She called back to Fionaette..

"You coming to right?"

"Nah go head, I'll be out there after I get fresh.."

"Ight well hurry up brat! We only here for a week, Than off to Rome we go!"

She said kissing my cheek..

I laughed..

"Okay I got you"

I said leaving into the bathroom..

I closed the door..

Shit, I was ready to tell her how I wanted her..

I almost forgot about the oil Fionaette gave me to put on..

I dabbed it everywhere she told me to..

I didn't really have a smell but it felt good on my skin..

I put on my swimsuit and headed out to where Fionaette and Herman were..
