True Love never Dies

The trip back home

At 10 am all the kids had already finished their breakfast and were all packed up. All our luggage was brought up the stairs to the gate while the others were all helping with the clean-up. We cleaned the two classrooms that we had been using for sleeping and some of the Parents went into town for some quick last-minute shopping. I had already done my shopping the day before so we just waited for our bus trip down to the Ferry wharf at 2 pm where we would board the big Ferry to travel back to the Garden Island.

At 2 pm the bus arrived and we loaded all our luggage then the bus departed for the Ferry Wharf. The kids enjoyed their trip and I did too because I was able to meet and sleep with my ex-lover again. Boarding the Ferry that evening was chaotic as it was full with many travelers going back to the islands for the school break, and there were two other schools from the Garden Island that had gone for field trips like us. We had been lined up from 3 pm to board this overnight Ferry but it wasn’t until 6pm that we finally boarded. And even the boarding itself took another hour before we were finally well seated. We could all sit together in one place so I told the other mothers that we were to gather in groups of 8 children per mother as most of the children were traveling alone. It wasn’t until after 9 pm that I finally had some me time, as all our children were fed and were playing cards or listening to music. I quickly turned on my phone to check for some messages and sure enough, I had three messages and eight missed calls from Sam. He was thanking me for the night and hoping we could do this again and lastly asking me to call him before I got home.

It was 10 pm when I finally called Sam. “Oh MJ my babe I just wanted to tell you that I am still here in the Hotel room, I came back to spend another night just to smell you in this room. I can still smell your c*m on the bedsheet and even as I opened the door, I still could smell your perfume. It's so hard to erase you out of my memory and I wish you was right here tonight just to hold you again one more time to hear you moan again one more time,” he went on. I was in tears and I said “Sam I missed you too but I am going back home to my husband and I guess our love will be neatly tucked in its corner again until we meet again,” I told him. We talked for about an hour before we said our goodbyes and I lay down to sleep. Maria one of the mothers who were very close to me because we were co-workers noticed the tears and asked me if all was well. I had to tell her my little love affair and she responded by saying “MJ who can walk away from that handsome face, I was even jealous of you last night as he squeezed himself to you,” she admitted. “Well Maria I've rejected him three times already, but he still follows me around and whenever he knows he has a chance he rushes by to seduce me,” I told her. Maria told me MJ I don’t see anything wrong with spending time with him because after all he is the father of your eldest child. Your husband Toby should understand that he will always want to see you because of Ronnie.

Maria and I talked for a while until 1am then we turned in to sleep. That night I dreamed of Toby finding out what happened with Sam. It seemed so real that when I woke up at 5 am the next morning I thought I was in deep s**t. But that wasn’t the case and when the ship berthed in the Hidden Paradise at 6 am I called Sam to tell him that we had arrived at our first stop. He said he had been awake from 5 am waiting for me to call him. We spent about thirty minutes talking about how we missed each other so badly and he made me promise him to take good care of our love child.

The Ferry left that port again at 10 am for the Garden Island and for the first time in my traveling life that I hated going back home. I guess I was missing my handsome face so much that the thought of returning home without him was very hard for me. Maria knew what I was going through and she kept encouraging me not to deny myself that privilege and not to hold any regrets because after all he was the father of my eldest child so seeing him was not a sin. On that trip back home, I kept listening to a song that replayed over and over on my headset and that was a song by the late Sir Elton John called “Original Sin”. Just listening to the lyrics brought tears to my eyes but I kept it on replay because it was just bringing so closer to Sam.

We didn’t get home till 5 pm, late, tired and hungry and the kids and I were so blessed we had a nicely prepared chicken soup dinner with tea. Toby however was not at home to meet us as he had gone with a cousin and some friends the previous night for drinks and was still not back. I was too tired to be angry so after our dinner, I walked into our room to sleep. The kids were all fast asleep too, tired from our trip. I quickly climbed into bed and because Toby was not at home I missed Sam even more so without hesitation I called his number again and he had gone home so when he saw my number he turned it off and walked out of his bedroom then called me back. He was actually standing outside and talking to me, so he had his back to the living room and we talked about our one night stand and how we both couldn’t forget each other. Little did he know that while he spoke to me his wife who had followed him out heard everything he was saying. As for me, no one heard me because I was in bed by myself so before we ended our call I told him not to call me and if I called and it wasn’t a good time then he was supposed to turn it off and call me or text me later. For me that was a simple arrangement and we both thought it was for the best.
