I know she’d hate her friend to see how she truly behaves with me.
“Prezi,” she stretches her arms.
I look pass it and she drops it with a sheepish smile. Jordane and Jania speaks to her and I observe them silently. Her friend Bigz hasn’t look up for once.
When the rain starts pouring down I step away a little from the railing without stepping a foot in her house.
I don’t trust her and I hate two faced people.
Well, I don’t hate her but as I said before, I can’t take her serious. During my scrutiny I overhear her offering food to Jordane.
He knows better.
Before he could get the chance to say no, because a affi that him did aguh say, I interrupt them.
“Mi buy food fi yuh it in a the car yuh good,” I lie. I’ll buy it after because he’s probably hungry.
Jordane gives me a knowing smile.
“Yeah, mi have food thanks,” he says to her.
“Arite.”
I look over at Jania and Jordane and they’re talking with the woman. The friend is still silent.
“Jordane mi affi cut yah now,” I say, with Zara on my mind. I need to see her.
He doesn’t argue even though he doesn’t want that. Instead he kisses his girlfriend before saying bye to her. I hug her briefly.
“Take care and anything you need call me or Jordane. We willing fi help,” I tell her and she smiles.
“Thanks Prezi,” her mom smiles.
I nod.
“Make me shelter unuh,” Jania says, taking up a blue umbrella.
I smile and allow her to walk next to Jordane, I’m barely underneath it. I quickly pull my car door and get in and Jordane comes in after. She waves at us before she walks over to her house.
ZARA
I’m wrapped up in the sheet, rain drops slapping the glass balcony. The only missing piece is my man. Then my day is set. Where is he though?
My mother sends a message disrupting my thoughts and I open it immediately. It’s a voice note.
“Pastor Jacobs is enthusiastic about the idea it’s just Nickoi now. If him deh there ask him if him a go come a the church okay then unuh can make a date. Respond asap cause Pastor Jacobs has a busy schedule.”
“Okay. We argued about Christening them before but mi a see if his mind change. If it doesn’t, we’ll work with the alternative and I’ll ask him if he’ll come to the church.”
I send the voice note then suddenly, the door pulls and he walks in. I didn’t hear his car or anything.
“Come to church fi wah mami?” Shit, he heard.
I wanted to explain first. Mi know him head nuh good sometimes.
With a sigh, I stare up at him. He’s standing in front of me. I hold his belt.
I pull his buckle and caress his erection through his underwear. As I do, I can feel his eyes piercing through me.
