Wifey: Part 1

Maybe it was the liquor that was allowing me to enjoy flirting with Kelvin. Whatever it was, I sent a text back that said, So what time can I meet you there?

Kelvin quickly replied, Meet me there at five a.m.

At that time, it was close to three thirty in the morning and I didn’t want to change my mind. I told Sharmel I wanted to get two more drinks and then we could leave. Sharmel was with my plan for more drinks, but she had no idea about my other plan to hook up with Kelvin.

The club was still rocking and didn’t look like it was winding down anytime soon. Me and Sharmel had a tough time getting the attention of the bartender. But we finally did, and I ordered two more drinks for the both of us, to keep me buzzing and feeling nice until five a.m.

I sent back to Kelvin, Ok, I’ll be there.

And, sure enough, at five a.m., against Sharmel’s advice and warning, I found myself standing in front of Room 726, gently knocking on the door and waiting for Kelvin to open it up and let me in.

CHAPTER 19

Jasmine

Everything was working out just as I had planned and hoped. The only thing I forgot to do was to make sure that my iPhone was fully charged.

“This phone better not die on me,” I said to Kelvin while we waited for Mia to show up at his room.

“You got like a quarter of the battery life left,” Kelvin said to me. “You should be good. That shit should last you an hour at least.”

Mia wasn’t supposed to come to the room until five, but she was knocking at Kelvin’s door at a quarter to five.

“That’s her!” I whispered to Kelvin. I scrambled to hide my shoes and my bag, so Mia would have no reason to get suspicious. After I hid my stuff, I scurried over to the closet and positioned myself inside, and Kelvin partially closed the two-door closet behind me.

Mia knocked on the hotel room door again, and this time Kelvin opened it. I started the video recorder on my iPhone, and although I couldn’t actually start filming anything just yet, I still wanted the recorder going, just in case Mia said something I wanted to have on tape.

“You got here quick,” Kelvin said.

“Yeah, after I sent you that text, I just had two more drinks with my girl, and then we left,” Mia replied.

Kelvin escorted her into the room. “Oh, OK. So you want another drink? I brought some champagne back from the club, and I got some orange juice, if you wanna mix it.”

Mia said that she wanted some but had to use the bathroom first. She went to the bathroom and stayed in there for about three minutes, and she came out and started to drink the mimosa Kelvin had mixed for her.

They made small talk about who they knew in New York and how old they were and what high school they went to and all of that. All the while they continued to drink, I could tell that the drinks were definitely affecting Mia, because she was getting more and more talkative.

She said to Kelvin, “I was just down here like the other week. I had to do a photo shoot for J-Lo.”

“That’s where the fuck I know you from! You a model, right?”

Mia told him that she was, and that she was also trying to get into acting.

“So why didn’t you say that in the club? You was making it seem like you just live off of your man’s money.”

“Please don’t mention my man to me. I’m so not feeling him right now.”

I was so glad I had that on tape.

At that point I guess Kelvin used that as his cue to make his move because I heard what sounded like kissing. I slowly opened the door a little bit more and took a chance and peered out, and sure enough Mia and Kelvin were kissing. I made sure that I was capturing it all.

“You so fuckin’ sexy,” Mia said to Kelvin as he took off his shirt. Then Mia pushed him away, and she stood up and walked to the other side of the room.

I had to be real careful that she didn’t turn around and see me. Not wanting to take any chances, I went back inside the closet.

“Why you pushing me away?”

“Because I don’t even know your last name.”
