Celene's ~P.O.V~
We had just ended our tour which he gave me really professionally and we discussed the prices of each apartment and I actually felt in charge. He was not joking on making me the landlord as he gave me the contact of plummers, electricians and others to call in case tenants had a problem. And they would be arriving as soon as tomorrow. I'm even going to take control of the account they'll pay rent through. I felt official. Like a real big woman inna the building.
He gave me and Trece apartments on the third floor that's actually the more spacious and comfortable expensive ones but we'll be living there for free. God a give me a piece a blessing through dah boy yah honestly.
"Celene, what do you want to get for dinner?" He asked casually. Right now I'd eat him. Belly a gwan bad from we reach the second floor but mi give him likkle distance suh him wouldn't hear the circus inna mi belly. One piece a guiness sound clash did a gwan caz the worms were right out foreign self, bip bip brrppp.
"Can just grab some island grill" I told him.
"Celene, mi actually waah eat wid yuh, not buy yuh food and drop yuh off" he told me. Girl heart start skip beat, him waah eat wid mi? Want mi company? Mi feel like a diamond. But I can't right now, mi just waah guh home and eat and take some painkillers and watch a movie.
"Sorry but I can't today" I tried telling him.
"Why?", he challenged me, looking me in the eyes scrutinizing me.
"Because I just want to go home, get clean and eat" I told him honestly.I mean like, how do I say, 'I'm on my period gimme a couple days to return to my normal self'?. He stood there and thought about it a little. Then he smiled, boy smile bright like stadium bulb, but a wah him tell mi did have mi head a way.
"Ok, mi aguh drop yuh off, yuh can bathe and everything, but grab some clothes to stay over in and clothes for tomorrow" he told me smiling.
I gave him a look of disbelief. But I couldnt actually say no. He didn't even wait on an answer, he took my hand in his and lead me straight to his car. It was great that he wanted my company, I just don't know how he reacts to things like that. He opened my door for me and I got in. He came in after me and started the car.
" Before I actually, allow you to take me home with you, it's my time of the month", I said as clear as I could being neutral. He instantly got concerned, shocking me.
"Really, why didn't you say something B?, Yaah feel pain?" he asked. "Not that bad because I took some painkillers earlier but they wore off so it's starting to get painful" I responded feeling at ease with him and his empathy.
We drove home taking about simple stuff and argreed he'd be back in 30 minutes.
I opened the front door to a shocking sight though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Trece......", was all that could slip past my lips.
She hurriedly changed her position and smiled apologetically. The poor boy just swallow hard, still out of breath. Trece had her heavy self straddling his lap and a nyam him face wid har horny self. "Hey, God guh wid yuh yere" I said shaking my head heading towards the room while she a laugh off har face. after returning from my shower I started packing my school bag and stay over bag. Trece stepped in a minute later when I was almost done.
"But a coulda waah gwan inna John shop, why bag a pack at this time of night like yaah guh sleep out or sumth..?", she said creating excitement. I rolled my eyes, going over to Ranique isn't that much of a big deal in my head. I mean, yes sure it's a big step but, I kinda trust him and he hasn't forced anything against my will, he gives me a good vybe.
" Trece, yaah draw it out a proportion, we're just gonna eat and chill and I'm staying over" I said being as chill as ever however slightly freaking out cause wah the hell mi a tek up mi self bout mi a sleep a man yaad fah sah. What if him sell mi pon the black market? anyways I tucked my safety keychain in my bag, cyah too careful.
A minute later someone strolled into the house like they owned the place.
" Why the front door nuh lock? Wah yuh a duh yasso?", him just eva a come move like him a some top man who as him talk yaah fi move. " It nuh need fi lock if mi soon leave" I responded but he was still talking to the driver trying to understand why he was here. I rolled my eyes and walked to the door to signal that I'm ready but he was there talking low to the driver, probably warning him about my best friend and I adored that he treats her like my famiily and takes her into consideration.
"Ready?", he turned and asked. I nodded.
I told Trece bye and we left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His house was great. Kinda house you would mistake for a villa. Pool, great parking, spacious rooms, gorgeous gardens, city view from the balcony. I love it.
" Good because yuh soon move in", I was unaware I said it out loud but his response was definately heartwarming. Gave me Ariana Grande - 'Positions' vibes.
" Yea man anything a anything, where's the food though?", I asked, ready to eat and get some meds.
"We're gonna have pizza hope that's ok with you.." he said a bit too unsure for my liking. "What's the catch?" I asked knowing there was something he wasn't saying.
"I made it myself, since you're stayin here I didnt bother to get takeout I just got a couple things to make breakfast tomorrow and some drinks I thought you'd like. And I walked over to him and hugged him. "Thanks, I appreciate it". He held me in place and looked down at me, then he placed a kiss on my forehead, "Anything fi yuh b".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We sat on the balcony and had our meal and just talked and laughed. I forgot about the meds, I was laughing so hard I barely felt the pain. When we got inside he walked me to my room and made me get in bed.
"Goodnight Celene", he said kissing me on my forehead. He was walking away when I finally spoke, "Goodnight Ranique".

An hour after that a sharp pain shot across my abdomen and I remembered I didn't take any of the pills. I got up, took one from my bag and walked to the kitchen and had a glass of water and took the pills. As I got to the door I took note of the music coming from the living room upstairs and decided to go check it out.
"Nuh Trust Nobody" by Chronic Law was the song at the time. He was sitting with his laptop and phone and another device that I'm not familiar with. When I was finally looking at him again a gun was pointed in my direction. When he realized it was me he lowered the weapon. "Celene, mi put yuh inna yuh bed, yuh have school, why yuh come out?, having a problem sleeping?".
"I ......" I couldnt say anything else. "Neva did a expect yuh fi get up b, sorry bout that", he held my face in his palms, "I'd never hurt you b", he said looking into my eyes. For some weird reason that made me feel safe with him, I still couldn't talk but i placed my hands on his. He understood the non-verbal communication.
"Ready to go sleep?" he asked. I shook my head, I wanted to be around him right now. "Ok, come here," he pulled me to the couch with him and got back to his activities and I sat there watching but then he made me rest my head on his lap and stretch across the couch, with his addictive perfume and comfy sweatpants covered thigh I waltzed with sleep.
