From Then Till Now: A Jamaican Love Story Book 1

Chapter 6

Alex's POV

Wednesday 3:00 PM

I thought Nya would have messaged me, but it's been four days and I haven't heard anything from her. I know that she's ok because I've checked but she hasn't reached out to me. 

Girl av mi a check mi phone every minute like a fucking clown.

I take up my phone again and there's no message from her. I decide to message her.

Me: So, my number is living rent free in your phone?

I send the message and wait for a response, but none comes, I make my way to the gym. I spend the next two hours lifting weights and running on the treadmill.

My mind is filled with thoughts of Nya and mi feel a way how she no reach out to mi.

Maybe it's all for the best. Some lines aren't meant to be crossed. Not that she knows that there is a line, and I would like to keep it like that for now.

I make my way out of the gym and head upstairs to shower. I've finally decided to leave Nya alone. I'll continue looking out for her but from a distance. It is for the best.

I walk back downstairs to where I left my phone on the kitchen counter. I notice that I have several messages. Two from Trinity asking to come by, I roll my eyes. Trinity doesn't listen, I'm done with that agreement for good.

There's a message from my mom asking why mi dash her weh, I smile, she's so dramatic. I quickly type a message telling her that I'll come see her soon.

My heart skips several beats when I realize that Nya responded to my message.

Shanya's Chat

Me: So, my number is living rent free in your phone?

Shanya: Would you like to pay rent Mr. Holt?

Ok, how should I interpret this message? It sounds like she's flirting but then not so much. She's back to calling me Mr. Holt and I don't like that one bit.

Me: So, I'm back to being Mr. Holt?

Shanya: The last time I checked that was your name. Has it changed?

What the fuck is wrong with her? Is this attitude? God please don't let Nya be a mad bomboclaat gyal enuh.

Me: What's wrong with you? What's up with the attitude?

Shanya: Mr. Holt how did you even get my number? Isn't it against company policy for you to remove my number from your files for personal reasons? What happened at the club was a mistake and it won't happen again. Have a good evening.

A wah d bloodclaat dis? Yep, she's a mad gyal! I burst out laughing.

One, I didn't take your number from any files Miss, I got you that number and two, it's my bomboclaat company so I can do as I wish.

Me: So only what happened at the club was a mistake? What about in the car?

Shanya: Alex, you know what I mean, I'm already embarrassed so please don't rub it in.

Oh, so I'm back to being Alex now, I find myself laughing again. Ok so that's why she hasn't messaged me, she's embarrassed. Why are women like this?

Me: Why were you embarrassed?

Shanya: I just met you and basically made out with you hours after meeting you. I'm not that girl and I don't want to be that girl.

Good to know baby girl, good to know.
