Cheyann's POV

I couldn't help but burst out laughing at something Chris said. Whats so funny? I don't know, but I couldn't stop laughing. It might be from the four shots I took, or maybe I'm going crazy.

Maybe, that's it.

Because I could have sworn I saw Ackeem in the crowd staring at me earlier.

Just my imagination.

Am I hallucinating?

Pathetic.

It's strange how he has taken control of my thoughts after only recently entering my life. He occupies my mind as if its his very own, leaving no place for anything that doesn't concern him.

I was pulled from my thoughts as Chris placed his warm palm across my thigh. He looked at me with lifted eyebrows in a curious manner. Did he say something?

"You good?" He shouted over the music, genuinely looking concerned.

"I'm fine!" I placed my hand over his.

I should remove his hand. But I don't want to seem rude, he has been nothing but nice to me all night. I don't want it to get awkward.

Take off him hand girl! Bout you nuh want things get awkward.

Yah idiot?

"Are you in a relationship?"

"Huh?" I pretended not to hear.

"You in a relationship!?" He shouted

"Well I'm-" I started talking but was quickly cut off by Kim yelling.

"Ackeem!"

What?

My head snapped towards the direction Kim was staring at. I instinctively pulled Chris's hand away from my thigh.

I felt my body froze when I recognized him. I stared at them hugging with wide eyes, when he turned his head directly towards me.

For a minute it felt like it was just us two. With enraged eyes, he glared at me. I could feel my heart beat running a marathon, hitting wildly against my chest but not hard enough for me to remove my gaze from the captivating intensity of his eyes.

He finally looked away, breaking the spell he had me under, granting me control over my body once again.

I released a breath I didn't know I was holding while keeping my eyes on them. Suddenly I felt sober, like all a the rum drained from my body.

How Kim know him?

If only she knew he's the guy I was talking about.

"You can't say me never come check out the place now enuh. Weh yah do here? You nuh tell me say you not coming tonight" she said

Please tell me say them never have sex or nothing because god know.

"Answer the man" He spoke in a menacing tone, turning his body entirely to face me, ignoring Kim in the process.

"What?" I asked breathlessly.

Kim looked at us with what appears to be confusion then realization.

After not talking to me, this is what he has it say.  Acting as if he owns me. As if I'm at fault here when he hasn't been speaking to me for something so trivial.
