NORMANI

Larissa and Emily were giddy with uncontrollable excitement as I told them about my trip from the beginning to the end including the ones they were already aware of. It still felt surreal that I was with Byron and we spent the entire vacation together. Not technically together but you get the point. Even at that, I had the determination to stay away from him.

Ricardo still hadn't contacted me and I was too proud to contact him either. I wonder what he was up to, if he was back from work.

"Erhm Erhm," Emily cleared her throat. I looked up at her. "So, are you going to see him again?"

“Who?"

She rolled her eyes. “Don't feign ignorance. You know who I'm talking about."

“No. I won't be seeing him anymore. Every encounter ended in Puerto Rico. I don't have time to play hide and seek with him, I need to focus on getting a job and providing for my children."

"I hate to say this but girl, the man deserves to see his children."
