LESLIE

Honey, come on, if we don’t get down there early enough we won’t get a good seat.

Leslie yelled loud enough so that I could hear her in the bathroom.

NATHAN

I’m coming.

We were headed down to Greenfield Stadium for the annual Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival, which features dozens of local and international acts performing over three days. I loved to get a seat early because I’d be damned if I was going to walk in the stadium late. I am a music lover. This year the concert was featuring Toni Braxton, One Third, Brian Art, Najee, Chrisette Michele and the great Chaka Khan.

I was excited about being with Leslie. I think that this was the first time in a long time that I was feeling those old feelings when we first met. Since the incident at the church things hadn’t been right. I could feel that we were forcing ourselves to “like” one another.

We got down to the show just before it started. People were walking around talking, drinking, and laughing. I held Leslie’s hand and we made it to our seats.

I remembered growing up and music would always be playing around the house. Especially on the weekend when me and my brother would be cleaning and doing out other weekend chores. I can remember seeing my mother with the vacuum dancing as she made her way around the house. My father was usually out getting drunk and would come home and fight with my mother. He would cuss me and my brother so hard that once I found a knife under my brother’s pillow where he was planning to slit my father’s throat when he passed out.

I can admit that I was damaged. It wasn’t something that I was proud of. I never discussed it and tried not to think about it.

Since things were going good between Leslie and me I wasn’t going to jinx it and think bad thoughts. I wanted to look at the future and be confident that things would get better.

The show started and local artists came out first. I wanted to see Toni Braxton perform since it had been over five years when I saw her in Las Vegas. After about two hours there was an intermission. I knew that she would be up next. I went and got Leslie and me something else to drink. As I was walking back to my seat I noticed a very attractive older gentleman looking in my direction. I stopped and observed him for a minute. I noticed when he tilted his head to the side beckoning me to follow. I looked down at the drinks and back at him. Leslie was waiting and I was waiting on Toni’s performance. I could feel my nature growing intensely in my pants. For once I had to think with the head on my shoulders and not the head in my pants.

I made my way back to my seat. I passed Leslie her drink and took a long sip of my cognac.
