Majesty A. Turner
It seems as if all the worries I had just simply vanished. Vacation is just something the human brain needs. Being in one place for too long is like a prison. You're locked up and tired of seeing the same scenery. We all need change once in awhile.
But change is something we seem to be afraid of.
Inhaling the tropical air, I then exhaled with a huge smile on my face. I found myself constantly gazing away from the laptop in front of me and at Alex. He's just such a distraction. A beautiful distraction. He caught my stare and chuckled a bit, causing me to blush. Although we've been through hardships, he still manages to put a smile on my face. His large hands took the laptop from my grasp and slid it across the table before sitting down next to me.
The sound of the ocean crashing against the shore and birds chirping made a wonderful melody. There was a rosy pink tint in the sky since the sky was breaking free of the night and into the early morning. The pinkish tint reminded me of cotton candy. Fluffy cotton candy that you and your significant other shares at local fairs.
"Stop working." Alex spoke barely above a whisper. "We're on vacation baby girl."
I couldn't fight the smile on my face. What he said wasn't amusing, but I just couldn't help but to smile. I'm on Thailand sitting on a balcony of a private resort that overlooks the ocean. I'm also with my husband, the one God took his time on. "But I need to get my poem up before the end of January. It's the 30th." Tomorrow was my birthday. I finally turn twenty two.
Alex allowed me to finish the poem and email it to Shannon. Shannon will review it and then post it on the site. She'll notify me when it's posted, but I don't care to know. I know it'll be posted, I just want to spend all the time I can with Alexander. We're always together, but I just want to be all under him. It seems as if at home there's always problems. But it's different here. We're happy. We're free. We're away from all of our problems. Neither one of us have touched alcohol or drugs. It hasn't even been in our minds and it's been three days. These three days consisted of us exploring the small town, each other's bodies, and practically staying on the beach from dusk to dawn.
It's magical being by a body of water while the stars are out. It's amazing how stars are so beautiful, yet they're on fire. They're a burning fiery of beauty waiting to burn out.
All beautiful things eventually burn out.
"You know what I really love about this place?" I glanced up at Alex as we walked side by side. After eating a very small breakfast we got dressed and headed towards the small village. There were a lot of people but it felt as if it were only the two of us. Alex looked down at me, awaiting my answer. "I love all the fresh fruits. I love their culture also." My eyes wandered around, taking in our surroundings. There were a lot of locals out and about buying the fruit and vegetables. They actually have a market on the water. All the fresh fruits and vegetables are in the boat along with the person trying to sell them. Where can you find that at? "I could stay here forever."
Once the boats with the fruit and veggies were in view I grabbed onto Alex's hand and skipped towards them like a small child wanting to see Santa.
"Hello." A woman with a straw hat smiled. Her accent was very thick, but I adored it. I find it amazing how we all speak different, but find a way to communicate.
I only ended up getting strawberries, grapes, bananas and blueberries. I cut them up and put it in a plastic cup with some sort of spice the woman gave me. Whatever it is, it's delicious.
Holding the fork to Alex's mouth, he took the strawberry and blueberry off of it and into his mouth. Once I tried to eat a piece of banana some of my hair from my box braids flew in my mouth. I nearly choked on it, but I didn't.. Thank God. I usually don't get braids but why not since we're on vacation? It's cute, protects my hair and I don't have to do anything to my curly mess every morning.
I'll never understand why people think natural is only for lazy people. It takes a lot of work to manage natural hair, it doesn't matter what your curl type is, natural hair is a lot to handle.
"You might wanna change clothes." Alex chuckled as our villa came into view.
I furrowed my eyebrows as I swallowed the last piece of my fruit. "For why?" I looked down at my overalls and frowned. I thought I looked cute..
He looked down at me with a small grin. A grin I didn't like. He has to be up to something..
"We're going zip lining through the jungle." I squealed in excitement and held onto his arm tightly. "That's not until evening though." Out of no where Alex picked me up, causing me to wrap my legs around his waist and hold onto his shoulders tightly. "In the meantime lemme eat that pussy."
I giggled as Alex threw me on the couch and pulled my overalls off, tossing them across the room.
"You ain't wearing panties?" He chuckled as his eyes stayed glued to her. Although he asked a question, it sure enough didn't have to be one. And it wasn't meant for me to answer. I couldn't even open my mouth to respond, thank God Alex wasn't expecting me to.
A loud sigh left my lips as I looked ahead of me. We have a long way to go.. But at least the scenery is beautiful.
You never realize how out of shape you are until you actually have to do adventurous things. Being out of shape doesn't mean obese of 'fat'. Gina used to call me out of shape all the time, I would always yell at her and say I'm not. But the truth is, I am.
Maybe the way she said it made me think she was calling me fat?
I jumped slightly when I felt Alex's cold hand on my hip. His deep chuckle reached my ear, sending chills down my spine. How can someone have this effect on me? "Chill, it's just me."
Within a few minutes we had made it to our destination. There were two people waiting for us at the end, a man and woman. They both greeted us with smiles and a hello which Alex and I returned.
"I'm Chati and this is Malai." The man introduced while pointing at themselves. "We'll be your mentors, or whatever you guys like to call it over in America, today for your zip lining session."
I nodded and folded my arms across my chest. Chati explained the safety to us, but I found myself zoning out and staring at Alex's profile. He's so concentrated it's cute. He took his bottom lip between his teeth for a second, but stopped. This was something he did when he was either bored or concentrating.
I didn't even realize I was so caught up in looking at Alex that Chati was done talking. Chati and Malai fixed their gazes on me causing Alex to furrow his eyebrows and look down at me. My cheeks felt like the sun was dancing on them as Alex's eyes met mine.
"Sorry." I whispered an apology, looking away from my husband.
Alex chuckled and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Malai sighed in content while Chati smiled.
"Young love." Malai smiled while setting up the equipment for the zip lining.
I looked up at Alex since I felt him looking at me. Sure enough, he was looking down at me with a small smile on his lips. Wrapping both arms around his torso, I rested my chin on his chest and puckered my lips. Alex bent down enough to connect our lips.
"I love you." I mumbled as I place my hand on his cheek, pecking his lips once again. I couldn't get enough of his lips.
"Love you more baby." He squeezed my butt before letting go of me.
Chati then began to put the equipment on Alex as Malai put mine on me. Once she was finished, I was beginning to regret this. What if I die? What if something just happens to go wrong?
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity Maj, you're in Thailand!
Just do it..
Alex glanced over at me with a somewhat worried look on his face. "You ready?"
I hesitated before nodding my head. A sigh left his lips as if he knew what was going through my head. He grabbed my hand before counting down from five. Once he reached one we both pushed ourselves off of the platform. I screamed in horror as we zoomed through the Thailand jungle. My screams turned into laughter as I realized this wasn't so scary at all and that I wasn't going to hit my head on the nearby tree branches.
I let go of Alex's hand and enjoyed the breeze through my hair as I took in my surroundings. The sound of the wind seemed so much louder than it actually was. Birds chirping and other magical creatures that can only be found here were heard as they loudly made their noises, letting people and other animals know where they are. I enjoy nature so much. Philosophy only opened my mind even more and made me love it more.
There's something about nature that makes me feel at ease.
Nature makes me feel alone, but not lonely.
Endless giggles left my lips as I came to a halt. Once Alex took his equipment off he helped me take mine off handed it to the man who would collect them. My arm wrapped around Alex's torso while his arm hung loosely over my shoulder.
"That was so fun." I laughed in amazement as we made our way down the many stairs. "Thank you so much."
He chuckled and pulled me closer to him. "Anything for you."
"Pose for me baby." Alex held the Polaroid camera to his face.
I tilted my head slightly and looked at the camera, although he couldn't tell since I have sunglasses on. Alex crawled next to me and showed me the photo once it had printed out and decide to show up.
"Oo." I cooed as I observed the picture. I have to admit, I look good and the background is just so perfect!
We spent hours playing on the beach and just being us.
My skirt and top were now gone, revealing my light pink bikini. The only source of light came from the moonlight. The light of the moon made the ocean look insidious, but nonetheless it's beautiful, as always.
Being here made me happy. It made me feel like I was free from pain, free from scars, and free to sing.
The light reflected off of the ocean, creating a small glare. My eyes fixed on Alex as he slowly crept towards me. He took such small steps one wouldn't be able to tell he was moving unless they studied him closely.
"Alex get away from me!" I laughed and backed further away from him, causing the cold water to splash up on my ankles. He began jogging towards me which made me go further into the water. I screeched as the waves got up so high it hit my mid back and everything below. "Oh my gosh!" Alex took this time to approach me and snake his arms around my waist. "Let me go." I giggled and tried to escape from his arms.
"Nah." He chuckled in my ear, holding me close to him. So close I could feel his dick on my butt. "I like holding you. You're so small."
I relaxed in his arms and closed my eyes, leaning the back of my head on his chest. We moved slightly as the small waves pushed at our legs. The sound of the water hitting the shore was so hypnotizing. The water was freezing, but Alex's body heat was hot. It created a warm feeling within me. A relaxing feeling.
I feel so loved. I am loved. My heart belongs to him. He is my all.
I turned around so we were now face to face; my eyes slowly opened as I felt him squeezing my thighs.
This is what joy feels like.
Being with the one you share an intimate relationship with. The one who will always have your heart. The one who will always love you no matter what.
Alex is the one.
He's the one I will never have to doubt.
If I could go back in time I wouldn't change a thing. I'm content with my life. Our relationship may not be perfect, but what relationship is?
Before you can judge someone, you have to ask yourself: am I perfect?
If your answer is no, then you have no valid reason to judge or talk down on someone... or anything. But as humans we feel as if we're privileged to do so. An opinion is a right we have, but not judging. That is something people get confused. Many people think they're the same thing.
"It's almost midnight..." Alex broke the comfortable silence between us.
I gazed up at him with a small smile on my face. His lips slightly parted as he slowly leaned down. I tilted my head to the side and allowed him to place his plump lips on mine. As we both pulled away I couldn't help but to get lost in his dark orbs. Those pair of eyes tell an entire story..
"I love you Majesty." He mumbled lowly, never breaking eye contact with me.
