Sane

Open

Celene's ~P.O.V~

I watched him exit, a look of shock still on my face but a whole saga in my head,........... and underwear. But it was shortlived, Trecy wasn't having it.

"Hey, you, nuh move," she said fleeing to the window by the front to see outside where he was driving away.

"BMW, hot sexy man, foreplay pon wall, no Celene, if mi did know she a dem sumth here aguh gwan mi come wid yuh, weh yuh find a new one".

New one....... at this point mi think him woulda surpass all boys that could ever approach me, he has my full attention. " Trecy, that was Senor Ranique Williams for you".

She started smiling like she knew something I didn't, "Suh yuh grown up now, him start give yuh foreplay pon wall already, next a outta door ina coconut tree yuh watch".

Mi affi buss out a duty gyal laugh inna the people dem nice apartment complex, "Trecy, your style that, yuh just a exaggerate the whole thing" I told her after calming down.

" A you see the two a unuh or a mi, coulda swear a dream mi a dream bout 365 days again to how the sexual tension did thick inna the place, nearly suffocate mi, nuh see how mi frighten fi see seh a real life and a you a moan", she said with her no filter self. Sometimes I wish Trecy would not vocalize everything.

"Trece stop, yuh a me things weird".

"A you me things weird, how yuh did aguh do things pon the wall and mi deh right here suh".

I had completely forgotten about all of that, he makes my critical thinking and common sense disappear all the time.

"I'll take it into consideration next time". She looked at me knowingly, " Yuh hear yuh, ..... next time".

She laughed walking away, reminding me, he's coming for dinner tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We stood in the bathroom together at the sink, I had my hand rubbing her shoulders, just being her strength because I know that is exactly what she would have been for me if the tables were turned. She will always support me from big to small so I do the same, balance and loyalty. I watched her tears flow without end, but I said nothing. There is nothing I can really say to help, just being her with her is my best.

"Him nuh want it" she stated out of the blue.

"What exactly did he say?" I asked trying to make sense of this current situation. "Him seh him a come tomorrow wid the money fi get rid of that".

My heart pained, how could he dare to behave that way overhearing someone is with HIS child. He used to always want her to himself, excited to see her and promising her things that are out of this world. Fi the first time mi wish mi did have a gun. As a matter a fact, a waah lass mi waah swing inna him claat, lim him down.

"Don't worry Trece, I'm here with you always and regardless" I let her know. "I'm going to bed", she said walking to our room, she doesn't really live here but she stays here a lot like she does.

I laid on my bed staring at the ceiling, I knew she was crying with her back to me but I let her be. Today has been hectic. I turn to look at my own problems. Here I was, tripping over a grown man who does illegalities for a living and makes me behave like a rabbit in heat when I willingly allow him to sexually frustrate me by any means necessary. If this is adulthood Id like to cancel my subscription like lets skip to 50s I heard we retire and have already learnt the most of the lessons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Big Sunday morning and I wake up at 9am. I woke up at 5 because of natural instinct of a church day, but Im not going to church today. I think we can rest this week, we have an important matter at hand.

"Trece, wah yuh want fi breakfast?" I asked, giving her first preferences since she's you know...

"Feel fi sardine and some saltfish fritters" she replied like that's what was at the tip of her tongue. Boy she did already a eat double serving, mi pocket aguh dry by the time she reach second trimester Jezas.

I went ahead to the kitchen to start getting breakfast ready, she went to sit on the couch and watch tv. Good thing mi clean pon Saturdays instead of Sundays, makes my Sundays so peaceful and easy.

30 mins later..............

(phone starts blaring Win by Jada Kingdom)

"Trece come tek out dem fritters yah fimi"

" How much yuh aguh fry suh?"

"Yuh realize yuh done half a it, wah leave a fi mi" I told her before answering the phone. I didnt check the caller ID only a few people roll that deep.

"Hello, Good morning"

" Come outside, NOW".

Ranique was outside. Mi couldnt get likkle time fi calm down. Watcha now. Mi inna my battyrida and tank top without a likkle brassire. No room for discussion. Mi grab a cardigan and walked out the door.

Ranique was there leaning against his car. He looked like he was ready to kill. Why him call mi?

"Wah yuh boyfriend name?" he asked. His tone was unreadable.

"I dont have one right now", not like I've ever had one but whatever.

"Celene nuh fuck wid mi, yuh buy pregnancy test yesterday" Mi face straight for a minute. Mi start look round fi camera. This cyah real.

"How do you know I bought tests?" I asked getting really on guard. How does he know I went to the pharmacy to get a couple tests. He didnt answer me, instead, he grabbed me and placed me infront of him like I weighed nothing and trust me him nuh fat.

"Yuh pregnant?"

"No".

"Who the nigga?"

I got tired of the back and forth.

I was about to tell him that it was Trece, but same time Brandon show up.

" Morning , can go inside?" he said greeting both of us but asking me.

"No." Ranique said in a deadly tone.

"Alright, wole on pon this fimi nuh", he said passing me an envelope.

But of course me know Ranique well enough, no way in hell him aguh allow me fi tek it. He took it and knew exactly what was in it but the Lord is Good, Trecy came stepping down the steps right on time.

"Tek it back caz that nuh necessary" she told Brandon. " Listen to mi mad gyal, mi nuh want no pickney, tek it and get rid a it caz yuh cyah call mi phone fi pampas money r Lasco that mi a tell yuh" he disrespectfully replied thankfully not loud enough for our neighbours to hear. But you see this gets interesting. Ranique grabs Brandon by the collar and says something that makes Brandon literally come to tears.

I just watched the drama unfold. He was dropped and he walked away calmly. Us three just watched him disappear down the road. No this weekend has been too much. Trece just turned and walked back inside. But I was clearing everything up right now.

" The contraceptives are for my period" I said, then I turned and walked away too. He had no right to show up at my apartment behaving the way he did. He didnt bother to stop me.
