Chapter 1

Today is all about me. I feel as though I’ve grown ten feet tall, I reached so high that I was able to touch each cloud one by one and rearrange them. I discovered a new me: I put the old me in a closet and threw away the key. As the new me, reached for that imminent glow; that felt like a thousand candles scandalously parading through darkness like a thief in the night. I have energy I never knew existed. I’ve been depriving myself; I’m glad to be able to show others the new me. I didn’t know how to feel good about myself. I’ve had these relationships that have gone nowhere and they have dragged me down and started to consume me. I started to wonder If I was doomed and meant to be alone all my life. Now, that I’m stronger I can wear a smile. And glow all over with greatness, the way life was intended to be. So now instead of saying I can’t; I say I can because I can be whatever and whoever I want to be; just like the rain we’ve been having. At least it has consistency and you can depend on it. For two weeks this is all I’ve been able to see in Boston. The bitter winter is over and now just rain every day. If the sun existed no one in the city knew.

Whenever it rained it reminded me of all the good times I had with the man I thought was going to be my soul mate. I guess you can no longer depend on soul mates. They either don’t exist or few men are no longer interested in searching for that special woman in their lives. I met Genado while I was dating William; I guess you could say William and I were in the beginning stage of trying to build a relationship. But Genado kept getting in the way of progress. Later on, I should thank genado because William had a lot of hidden agenda’s. Whenever Will and I went out genado was there stalking me. William was very educated, and knew what he wanted in life. He made plans for everything and was a financially resourceful person. He had his own business. And was an active participant with the chamber of commerce. Even though I kept reminding Genado that I was dating some one else he didn’t give a damn and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I have always been a true person when it came to relationships. My relationship with Wil was new and we really hadn’t had a chance to see if we were compatible. Wil, though strange, in certain ways was a true gentleman. I met Wil four years ago at the Boston Art Gallery. We had gone to see an exhibit of a close mutual friend of his, Kenneth Santiago. Wil was African American and ken was Cuban. I love myself some spicy men. And Genado was Latino. You couldn’t tell that G, which is what everyone called Genado, was Latino. He had hung around black people so much it shielded the Latino side.

Initially I had William, G, and Ken in my life at the same time. Just not physically at the same time. Ken would ask me out just for dinner with him, no strings attached. But this would only be once or twice a year when he came to Boston. I never told Wil that I went to dinner with his friend Ken. And Ken never told either. Ken was fine and sexy. But like a glacier he can envelop any moment and make it worth while. On our fifth dinner date he asked me if I would consider moving to Texas. I told him I don’t know you that well and I have a good paying job here. Thanx, but no thanx I quickly replied. I was not ready to pack up and move to Texas with him, so our only intimate times would have to be when he visited Boston. He would send me a ticket to come to Houston, two or three times a year. And I enjoyed the change in scenery but still not enough to pick up and move. It was a real tug of war between Wil and G. Wil very rarely took a walk on the wild side. He had a funny disposition about him, and was never without challenges.

He had great ideas about expanding his business and was on the right track to becoming financially independent. I too, someday wanted my own company. So if my career was going to make it to the top of the charts; Wil would be the person to connect with to get me there. The two of them were like night and day and I somehow needed both of them to give me a sense of balance in life. But seeing both of them at the same time was out of the question. I had a tough decision to make so I’m playing it by ear. As Mary j Blige would say! Bad boys aint no good and good boys aint no fun. What would really happen if I ran off with the wrong one? But I was determined to make the right choice. Genado was going to keep harassing me until I gave in. I would look up sometime and he would appear out of nowhere. Once he came to my apartment and was dressed like a chauffeur, His dad had given him a two door black Lincoln Continental with two doors only. It looked just like a big limo; he bought me flowers and candy. He said I’m here to take you out to dinner. I laughed at his gesture and went out with him anyway. He was around so much Wil actually thought we were dating.

After that night I decided to go ahead and break things off with William. I told Wil that we would always stay in touch with one another and could remain friends. He didn’t care for that friend gesture. Little did I know my heart would be broken into a thousand pieces because of G.? After about Six months we moved in together, because I was spending so much time at his place and him at mine. We didn’t see much of each other on weekends because he played professional tennis.And would frequently go out of town as well as local tournaments. He wined and dined me as often as he could. We both loved music and had so many things in common

He was full of surprises and was always spoiling me with something. So he surprised me on my birthday with a trip to the Bahamas. It was then I knew he really cared for me. We were gone a week and I felt like a queen while on our trip. If he had eye contact with another woman he never showed it. "G was a smooth operator behind my back, the signs were there but he handled his business so well you had to be his twin to realize what was really going on. He eventually got around to introducing me to all his friends, and he met mine. I figure with that much coziness we couldn’t go wrong.

I had my schedule, and he had his. So once we had gotten together it was like two ships passing in the night. We always found time to make love to one another that was our relaxation period and it always brought us closer as a couple. Then one day we were both at work and it started raining and he called me to ask if I could meet him at the apartment. This is something he had never done before; he knows how important my job is to me and I don’t like being disturbed with petty items. So I decided to meet him at home. I figured I needed to devote some time towards building this relationship if we were going to make it work. Then out of nowhere; he says I called because I want to have sex with you; he called it a quickie because you don’t take time to get involved. So I obliged him it took us both ten minutes to finish and fifteen to try and get dressed and get back to work. We kissed and left with smiles on our faces. That day began our rainy day ritual. It made me want him more each time it rained. We had a solid relationship by now, we had our favorite song a rainy day ritual and when it came to sexual compatibility, he was more than satisfying to me

I started spending time with my neighbor across the street; when Genado was out of town. Katherine was her name but all the neighbors called her Kat. She was an older mature lady who enjoyed life and took no mess off a brother. She would have house parties and invite me over but I would never commit to attending one; so I finally gave in and went. She was a sweet lady and very out spoken. There was a card game in one corner and the dance floor in the other; I monopolized the dance floor all night. When I was going to leave Kat reminded me that her nephew Clifford would walk me home. I told her it wasn’t necessary it will only take me five minutes to get there, but she insisted. As we walked, and talked he started asking me every question in the book.

Can I get your phone number?

No;

I’m in a relationship.

Can we just be friends?

No I have a friend.

He kept going on and on;

So, I finally said; just turn around and let me walk home alone

I was careful, and made it home safely.

Clifford was a nice, mature, settled gentleman. A good catch for some sister not this one. I never cheat in a relationship; it always pays to be true. I have tried cheating, believe me, it does not pay. Every day that I left home there was Clifford on the corner or on his way home stalking me? Genada surprised me by taking me out at the club that next night.There was a live band playing, I noticed a lot of his friends in the corner hugged up with other women. These were not the women they introduced me too as their girlfriends. So I said nothing that night I went along with the program. We ended up having a nice time, we didn’t stay out late because it was a week night
