Chapter 244: Compromise

Darrien.

"He hates it,’’ I breathe into the phone because I still can’t believe how much of a failure this was. The fact that I thought I was setting up the most perfect vacation for us. This was going to be the one we would always remember. It was always going to be OUR spot. I had it all planned out. There is this desperation that comes with wanting to please Jabi.

It is a terrible thing most times because I beat myself up for a lot of things. I get this anger within me when he is not happy. It is not possible for someone to be happy all the time but I try. I try so hard to make him happy all the time.

"He told you that?’’ Alanis mutters quietly.

I needed someone to talk to because this was a lot for me, more than I even thought it would be. I just love the fact that I can read Jabi. I know what he likes and what he wants and finding out that he was terrified of the one place that I thought would become our getaway place broke me. Most times, I act tough but it took a toll on me.

"Yes he did and I freaked out like a pussy,’’ I tell him.

I couldn’t handle it and he had to calm me down. Write now I am looking for another hotel. I went without him which now seems like a bad idea because I think this is something, I should do with him. What if he doesn’t like this one either?

"I am sure he didn’t say it that way,’’ I can already picture him shaking his head is disagreement. Jabi didn’t want to hurt me and that is why he kept things from me but I don’t know how to explain to him that I want to know the truth. If he had said this on the first night, I would have found an alternative. I would have taken him somewhere else.

"He hasn’t been sleeping, Alanis. For almost a week I kept my baby awake."

I hate myself even when thinking about how tormented he has been. "Now you know, why are you still on the island?’’ he asks and I have been thinking that way all day. I know he is right, I should’ve packed our bags and gotten us out of there. He doesn’t want to be here, so why am I still pushing it.

Why did I bring him all the way here, away from his family?

What is the point of it all when he is the only thing that matters? We don’t have to move; we don’t have to leave everyone behind to be happy. I need to make things right. I need to make sure he is happy and right now he is not happy.

"Can you turn around,’’ I tell the driver, who just nods his head and turns the taxi around. "I got to get him off this island,’’ I tell Alanis before hanging up. I get back to the hotel and Jabi is in the room watching tv. This has been his routine since we got here. He will wake up in the morning, eat breakfast and sit in front of the tv. I should have noticed these things. This place diving, snorkelling, swimming, there is so much to do and he always preferred to stay in the room. These are the things that I should notice. maybe I wasn’t paying attention.

It is not your fault.

I remember his words. He doesn’t like it when I blame myself for things but that is how I am with him and even though I am trying. I know it will take a while to get out of that but I will try.

"Hey,’’ he looks away from the tv and to me. There is a smile on his face. I walk over to him and he grabs my hand "How was the hunt?’’ he asks.

I shrug "I didn’t go again,’’ I tell him.

He furrows his brows in confusion "Why not?"

"Cause I think we should go back home?’’ my tone is cam but I know he will think the worse. He might think that I am upset or something. He thinks I am the only one that blames myself. Well, he does the same thing. He worries a lot. Always wants to please me and that is why he didn’t tell me how much he hated this place. Our relationship is still fresh, so I know we will always want to do our best, want things to be perfect but it can’t always be perfect and I guess with time. We will both calm down.

His eyes open wide and the fear that I knew was coming springs up "This is not about feeling guilty. This is about giving you what you want. You are not happy here and I don’t care about this place. I want us to have a holiday together and if you are not happy. There is no point,’’ I stop him before he can say anything.

This is the best thing to do in this situation.

"We can go home, spend the rest of the week in the apartment. We don’t have to be here,’’ I tell him because that is how I feel. The best thing for the two of us.

"You planned this surprise, I feel really bad.’’

I smile, cupping his face with both of my hands. His eyes stay on mine and I can’t seem to look away either. It still shocks me how our attraction never even dims. We have been together for some time now and every time I look at him, it still feels like the first time I saw him in the community. The way my heart called out to him—it still feels that way. I don’t think I will ever stop feeling this way.

I fall in love with him all over again.

"I don’t care about this trip. I only care about you. There is nothing to feel bad about,’’ I assure him. He sighs loudly, closing his eyes to my touch "I want you to be yourself, I want you to sleep well, eat well and have no worries. You can only do that if we go home,’’ I add.

He opens his eyes and leans forward, kissing me softly. His kiss sends butterflies around my tummy. Like it always does. After a couple of seconds, he pulls apart and a smile spreads to his face "You can’t tell anyone we are back,’’ he beams.

"Why not?’’

He shrugs "I want it to feel like a vacation. I want to have you all to myself," his words have me smiling because that is the same way I feel. This man will be the death of me.
