Guys please be careful in those wintry weather conditions. Please take your time getting to your destinations. I'm here in Atlanta with warm Jamaica temps...70-74 degrees. I love it, although I'm still in the house in my bed.

Mya sat in the bed for what seemed like hours watching her man sleep. He was so sexy and manly. There were subtle differences that she noticed that made him appear somewhat different from his identical twin brother. Delmar had a baby smooth face, free from the worry lines that a hard life created. He was always groomed to perfection, his hair, facial hair, nails, even his feet. Tradee had a more rugged appearance. He didn’t worry about keeping his locks freshly twisted. His beard was fuller and more untamed. Mya loved the fact that Tradee was an obvious fashion horse. He had impeccable tastes, and it showed. Tradee’s locks fanned out over the pillow, and partially covered his face now. Mya wanted to push them away for a better view of his handsome features, but she didn’t want to wake him.

The sun was just peeking over the horizon, and Mya wanted to catch it. She slipped into Tradee’s discarded dress shirt, and a pair of his slippers as she shuffled out of the room. Mya took a careful look back at Tradee sleeping peacefully before she quietly closed the bedroom door. She glanced at the shredded remnants of the bathroom door, and vowed to have it replaced before she left Jamaica.

When Mya stepped out on the front verandah, she gasped at what she saw. If she didn’t know better, she would have sworn that Tradee beat her to the wrought iron settee. On second glance, she realized that it was Delmar. He had noticeably forgotten his normal grooming patterns. Delmar’s locks were covered with foreign particles, lint and some other questionable items. A full beard had begun to overshadow his otherwise carefully trimmed goatee. The smell escaping his parted lips reflected hours, perhaps days, of indulging in ganja and alcohol. Mya didn’t want to confront him, but knew that she wouldn’t be able to avoid him forever. She hoped that he would eventually come to terms with her relationship with Tradee.

Before Mya could make up her mind on her next course of action, Delmar stirs. In his slouched position, he looks back at her. Delmar is afraid for the first time because now he is seeing Mya everywhere. His hangover still doesn’t allow him to realize that he is not at Melodee’s home, but rather his brother’s.

Jawi thanks I know I will be tryingto be careful out there.....but you know seh you nevah affi rub eh inna me face seh you inna warm weddah ....... The I and I still love you though, you have the drug (well in this case the keyboard) and I have the addiction/the monkey on mi back so I must show mi love nuh matter what.........

How you holding up today my dear?

It must be the season we are in but I am feeling all mushy inside, I wonder what is going on here........

I feel so sorry for Delmar, he must have really had some serious feelings for Mya....

It really is weird. Jonesie was telling me how cold it is in Cali. I wish I could worry about it, but I'm enjoying the warm temps too much at this point. I don't even have heat on right now. I thank the Lord though because I was not looking forward to $300+ gas bills for the winter months.

Delmar: Me-Mel, puttus. Melodee mi need fe chat tuh yuh. Mi walk dung tuh yuh madda yaad fe tell yuh tuh come home. Mi neva meant tuh call yuh by anodda ooman name. Mi his yuh man same wey. Chat tuh mi nuh. Yuh love fe mek mi bawl hout doan?

Mya: *Mya’s hand goes to cover her open mouth* Delmar?

Delmar: Eeehhhnn? Mel whaa mek yuh call mi birth name so? *Delmar sits up, and runs his hands over his face. His head is throbbing, and his mouth tastes like he is sucking on a mouthful of rusty coins. Suddenly, his stomach lurches violently.*

Delmar: Mi belly a gripe mi! Cha! Mi ago vomit!

Mya: *Mya steps away from him instinctively.* Delmar do you know where you are right now? Have you been drinking all night?

Delmar: Bumbocla**! Yuh even sound like…M-M-M…HHMMMEEEEEAARRRL! HHHMMMPPPPEAAARRRLL! *Delmar dashes off the verandah to the side of the house. He doesn’t want Melodee to see him vomit, and he knows that he will get a lashing if he creates a mess for her to clean up. When he finishes, he walks stooped over to the outside water pipe to clean up. Delmar rinses his mouth with the fresh spring water and spits. He then splashes water all over his face in an attempt to clear the fog from his brain. Finally, he stands erect and takes in his surroundings for the first time.*

[jawi876 2]

Mya: Delmar? Delmar? Are you okay? *Mya forgets her half-dressed appearance and trots after him. She stops shy of clearing the side of the house to watch him at clean his mouth at the pipe.* Should I go get your brother? Tradee! Tradee baby!

Delmar: *Rushes to stop Mya from calling his brother. He realizes that he finally has an opportunity to talk to her without being beat to a pulp* Mya…NO! Wait! Please. Mi bwoy tek wey yuhself…yuh behave like wan rass pickney! Nuh mess hup yereso.

Mya: Huh? Are you okay? You don’t look okay.

Delmar: I’m fine now. Really. It’s okay. Look, umm. Sh**! I don’t really know what to say. I can’t believe you are actually here in front of me..at my brother’s home. Are you staying here now instead of the hotel? Uh. Dang. How are you? You look amazing. I guess Rasta has been good to you because you are radiant. There is a glow, nuff niceness.

Mya: We are just visiting, and going back to the hotel later today. I got up to watch the sunrise, but we have a lot of work scheduled to prepare for Toya’s wedding tomorrow. I’m good Delmar…it appears a lot better than you. What’s going on with you?

Delmar: Bumbo! I forgot about Toya’s wedding to the cabbie. How is she? Is she happy? Things have not been real good for me. I mean…uh…I mean after you left me for my twin, things have been really bad. I can’t get you off my mind. Mya baby…um I’m sorry. I dream about you night and day. I can’t focus at work. I’m like a walking duppy. What happened? What did I do wrong? What can I do to change things Mya? I wanted to marry you. I even tried to give you my baby.

Mya: Toya and Fitz are good, very happy, very in love. Delmar, I’m sorry that you thought there was more to us. Unfortunately, the feelings weren’t mutual. I thought we were having fun…that it was no more than a summer or vacation romance. What in the world are you talking about with wanting to marry me and get me pregnant?

Delmar: I-I-I…Mya…please. I fell in love with you the first time I laid eyes on you in the airport. I-I-I meant every-every word I told you. You have to admit it, and be honest Mya. We were good together baby. Our vibe was good Hearth Hangel. *Begins to saunter over to Mya and attempts to pull her close* Tell me you don’t still feel it baby.

[jawi876 2]

Mya: GET OFF ME DELMAR! Don’t make me drop your drunk a** out here! I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. But if you ever touch me again, I will hurt you. Let me make things perfectly clear for you once and for all. I’m not nor have I ever been in love with you. The sex between us was just that. It wasn't a connection or us making love. We phocked, down and dirty, nothing more nothing less. Each time we got together, I made sure I was protected. I made sure that you used a condom each time! I can’t tell you what you need to do from this point. But, I’m not apologizing for my relationship with Tradee. I love him and we are going to get married. Your brother has more morals and truth in his pinkie finger than you have in your entire body. So tell me Delmar, when were you going to tell me that you were dating your brother’s high school sweetheart? What’s her name again? What did you call me on the porch? Me-Mel? Yeah, that’s it, Melodee. So tell me Delmar, you loved me enough to keep your girlfriend? You need to check yourself.

Delmar: If you find out that you are pregnant, you may want a DNA test. I didn’t use the condoms you gave me, and I damaged the ones I did use. I need you! Hearth Hangel, baby, Melodee was my…I mean Melodee is my ex-girlfriend. We broke up a week before I met you. I-I promise. You have to be-be-believe me.

[SupportOAFJF 0]

WOOOOOO....Mya hunny u just get the news of ur life....DNA test nah go proove nuttin inna dis yah one ..no sir...just know seh di 2 a dem can switch father/uncle rolls

[jawi876 2]

Mya: You are pathetic. I see why Travis beat you’re a**! What do you think you have to gain by lying about getting me pregnant? I won’t take you back, and you will never touch this a** again. Do you really think you can run game on me? I know them all. Hell, I created some of them! You never broke up with her. She probably broke up with you because you called my name in your bed. Look, I’ve got things to do. I don’t owe you jack, and I’m tired of talking to you.

Tradee: MYA! Whaa gwaan? Mi wake hup tuh find yuh inna mi brotha harms dem! Yuh try fe creep inna mi hown yaad? Whaa…henny man will do? Yuh have no problem tell mi sey henny man nuh have a problem nyam yuh pums…I guess dis wan do ie?

Mya: Huh? What the he**? *inhales sharply, and exhales slowly in an attempt to calm her temper.* Baby, I know that you don’t mean any of this, so I’m going to give you the same benefit you gave me last night. You don’t want me to respond to those questions. So, I’m going back inside for you to talk to your brother. I am only going to say that I love you, and there is noone else for me. *Mya stretches on her toes to kiss Tradee’s tight mouth, and walks back to the front of the house.*

Tradee: Mi nuh tell yuh fe low mi? Mi tell yuh mi nuh rate yuh star? Mi ago give yuh tree seconds fe lef mi yaad ar mi ago bax yuh bloodcl**t!

Delmar: Yo mi yout…mi nuh wan fe war wid yuh. Mi and yuh his family…nuh pums fe destroy dat. Yuh jus see it wid yuh hown two yeye dem…de ooman nuh care…ar gwaan like wan skettel. Ow har ago touch de road before har mek herself deestant? Mya nuh care who har seduce and tempt inna har short gown and ting.

Tradee: One…mi nuh sey ie agen star! Two…

Delmar: Eeehhnnn? Yuh ago have fe lissen tuh mi wan day. Mi tink blood run deeper den wan riva…but mi ago let yuh do yuh ting same wey. Yuh knoa ow fe reach mi when yuh wan fe chat. Likkle more. *Delmar chuckles with more bravado than he actually felt, and he slowly backs away from Tradee. He turns and exits quickly, and prays that he reaches the road before Tradee can have a change of heart.*

Tradee walks into his home, reluctant to face Mya. He knew that his accusations were completely out of line and off base. The argument between them had eroded a layer of his confidence. Tradee didn’t regret, at least not completely, going against his beliefs to please Mya. However, her words about another man doing it, and her allowing another man to please her shook him to his core. They had fallen asleep from sheer emotional exhaustion. This was the first time since they became intimate that they had not fallen asleep in each others arms. Tradee had to admit that he was frightened by this fight. He also couldn’t stop playing her words over and over in his head “I hate you. I hate you. I hate you Travis!”

Mya sat in a dark corner of the living room watching Tradee. It was obvious that whatever he was thinking at the moment had him trembling. She wasn’t sure how she would comfort him, but she knew that she had to try. Mya got up slowly, and walked up behind Tradee. When she reached him, she reached around his firm back and held tightly to his muscular chest.
