From Then Till Now: A Jamaican Love Story Book 1

Chapter 21

Shanya's POV

Thursday 6:12 PM

I've been staying with Alex since Monday, we got in an argument because he didn't want me to go to school and most importantly drive myself.

"I missed one week Alex; I have to go to school. I will now have to play catch-up; I have mid semester exams." I told him while getting dressed.

"You're not fully healed Shanya and I don't want you driving yet." He told me and I hissed my teeth.

"If you can fuck me the way you did last night then I can go to school." I told him and walked into the closet to find my shoes.

"That's a fucking low blow Shanya, I was against it, you convinced me to go against my better judgment."

"I am going Alex and don't you dare mess with the cars." I told him, taking up my book bag.

"Fine I'll take you." he said and went through the door. I heard him call me stubborn, but I didn't  care.

So, our routine has been where he drops me to school, picks me up and we come here. Well, we went for ice cream on Tuesday before coming home.

I am trying to prep for a presentation that I have tomorrow. I must present from memory so I'm trying to get it right.

A sound interrupts me, I see Alex's phone on the coffee table vibrating and ringing.

"Alex, your phone." I call out to him.

"Who is it?" He asks from the bedroom.

I get up and look on the screen, am I seeing right? "It says Prime Minister." I tell him.

He jogs out of the bedroom wrapped in a towel with water still dripping from his body. He takes the phone and answers "Hello?"

"Uh-huh, is that all?" I hear him ask and then after a pause he says, "That should take me about an hour."

He then laughs out loud and says, "I might just take my time and send it in five." He listens to the person on the other end of the call then laughs and hangs up.

He turns to me and says, "Hey Babe, I need one hour to get something done." I nod and he goes back into the room, after about two minutes he comes out in a sweat pants and no shirt. He walks into his office and close the door behind him.

Ok what just happened? Why is the Prime Minister calling him?

I try to focus on my presentation but It's hard, I get up and go downstairs to get something to drink.

Alex's POV

Thursday 6:50 PM

I finish what I'm doing in under one hour. I call the Prime Minister and he answers on the first ring.

"I sent it."

"Is it secured?"

"Do you even have to ask?"

He chuckles "I guess not."

I hang up and get up from the desk. I saw the questions in Shanya's eyes and it's time I be real with my girl.

I find her sitting in the kitchen just looking out of space. I walk up to her and sit on the stool next to her.

"Hey Baby." I say kissing her on the cheek.

She looks at me, but she doesn't say anything.

"Ok Shanya, you ask the questions and I'll provide the answers."
