From Then Till Now: A Jamaican Love Story Book 1

Chapter 23

Shanya's POV

Saturday 10:15 PM

Because of Alex I am forty minutes late. The plan was to meet the girls at Union for ten o'clock. I drive around looking for a place to park, looks like I'll have to park on the lawn opposite the venue. I think it's good since other cars are here.

I get out of the car and my heels sink into the dirt. Fuck! I grab some wipes from the pack in the car, close the door and then arm the car.

I'm so fucking upset, if I had gotten here early, I would have gotten good parking and my heels wouldn't be muddy. Alex is a fucking cave man and I hate how controlling he is.

I walk over to the Union in a very shitty mood. I see Leah and Kim standing at the entrance chatting and laughing. Well at least they're happy.

"Hey girl!" Kim greets me.

"What's wrong?" Leah asks.

"Hold this fi mi." I say handing Kim my purse. I walk over to the side and sit on the wall, removing my heels.

They walk over to me, I start cursing again "Alex is a fucking cave man, come a tell mi how mi can't leave the house inna mi dress. Like who the fuck does he think he is?! I had to change, couldn't find parking and now mi fucking shoes dirty."

I continue cleaning off my shoes with the wipes and cursing under my breath.

"You do know Alex is in love with you right and he's just overprotective?" I hear Kim say and Leah nods her agreement.

"That's not love Kim, that's control, and mi no want no bloodclaat man try control mi. Bout him ago lock mi up inna the house if mi no change." I tell her.

They both burst out laughing and I kiss my teeth. "Mi vex man!"

"Wi know but you're here now so come on." Leah says. I finish securing my shoes on my feet and head inside with them.

The music is lit and as I listen, I start to feel less angry. We find a spot to the left of the bar away from where people are constantly walking. We can just chill here without having to be moving out of people's way every minute.

Leah is dressed in a skin-tight dress and strappy flat slippers; her body is to die for. Girl full a curves, she nice bad.

Kim is wearing a distressed jeans shorts that falls under her butt with a crop top exposing her flat stomach. Kim is petite with a small waist and a nice round ass.

We look damn good; several men have approached us since we got here. I ordered a rum and Coke, and this is the only thing I'm drinking with alcohol tonight since I'm driving, and my head is very light.

Leah is on her second Heineken, she has a good tolerance for alcohol and Jubba is picking her up. She complains that Jubba isn't interested in her, but I think he is, he just takes his job seriously.

I'm going to ask Caveman Alex if there's a policy that is preventing Jubba from talking to Leah.

Kim is traveling with Leah so she's also drinking. I excuse myself to go over to the bar, it's time to switch to water. I wait my turn and order a bottle of water. I search for the money in my purse and the server girl says, it's on the house Shan."

I look up but I don't know her. She sees the questions in my eyes and says "Presi pointed you out and says everything you order is on him."

Oh fuck, Jamie!

I tell her thanks and make my way back to my spot. As the night progresses, we are having fun. We've danced with a few guys and just making the most of the night.
