From Then Till Now: A Jamaican Love Story Book 1

Chapter 16

Two weeks later

Shanya's POV

Friday 2:00 PM

The last couple of weeks have been amazing with my man. He's either sleeping in my bed or I'm sleeping in his.

I know his body like the back of my hand, he enjoys it, but I know he secretly hates the control I have over him.

I'm getting ready to drive to Mobay for the weekend, I miss my mother. I'm skipping my last lecture but that's fine.

I still have Alex's Range that he says I stole. We went to games night with his friends, he told them that he needs a new Range or maybe a Porsche because I stole his Range.

Alex is so scandalous; I can't stand him sometimes.

I won't drive it today because I'm not ready to have that discussion with my mother.

Leah has decided to stay back but I think it's because she wants to spend time with Jubba. Once I'm not sleeping at the house Jubba is there keeping her company.

I grab my bag and make my way down the stairs. I open the door and Alex is standing outside grinning because he managed to frighten me.

He walks up to me taking the bag out of my hand and giving me a toe curling kiss.

I've gotten used to Alex getting in and out of my yard, I no longer question it. I think he's a lot more tech savvy than he lets on.

"Hey sexy." he says walking to put my bag in the Range.

"Babe, I'm not driving that." I tell him.

"Why not?" He asks, looking at me like I've grown another head.

"I prefer to drive my car, less questions." I reply.

"Shanya, I don't fucking care, the Range is a better vehicle for you to drive, I won't worry as much." He says stepping up to me and towering over me.

I step back because I need to look him in his eyes, I will not allow him to bully me.

"I am not driving it and that's final." I tell him in a deadpan tone.

He smiles evilly and takes out his phone, I step around him and retrieve my bag from the car moving to put it in my Fit.

"Bye Alex!" I say climbing into the car and closing the door. I hate how controlling he is sometimes. He stands watching me with a mischievous look on his face. I kiss my teeth and press the button to start my car. I'm leaving your smug ass right here.

The car doesn't start, I try again but still nothing.

I look up to see Alex laughing and I get mad. I climb out of the car and shout "What the fuck Alex! What did you do?"

I am livid, he folds his hands across his chest and doesn't say anything, he's back to being serious.

"You did this, I know you did, I bet you messed with my car that day on campus too!" I say fuming.

He doesn't acknowledge my statement but instead he says, "Drive the Range or stay home."

"Fuck you Alex, I hate you!" I look him dead in his eyes as I say this. I March back into the house sliding the door with such force I'm shocked the glass didn't break.

"Alex is so fucking selfish!" I start cursing out loud, making my way up the stairs. "I miss my mother and he pulls this shit! I'm done, done done. I can't be with a bloodclaat control freak." I curse as I enter my room.

"Done with what Miss Cunningham?" I hear him ask behind me.

"You!" I shout at him.

"Shut the fuck up Shanya and stop being a drama queen. The Range is a better vehicle to drive. You'll be safer in it, it's fully protected, I don't give a fuck if you're upset that I shut down your engine, but your safety is my priority." He says in a calm voice.
