My Safe Haven

Chapter 6

Belle and I talked and talked for hours on end before she eventually had to leave in the late evening, promising to come back and even sleep the night.

We hugged eachother and she drived out after promising to call when she got home.

I was now taking up the clothes from the line and sorting them out in their respective places.

I was honestly on a cloud of happiness since I saw my bestfriend today. I really am glad she came today.

I especially liked that part where the four of us sat outside and just talked about stuff, it reminded me of our school days.

We would sit underneath the big apple tree at school most lunch time and evenings, that was always our spot.

We would sit and just talk about random shit for hours just us four. Even though Macky was missing, it still felt like the days we'd all just chill together.

At least I finally have my bestie with me!!!! Purrrrr!!!

Aye mi miss mi gyal enuh. We use to jus talk fi hours but we coulda always sit down in complete silence an still feel comfortable.

Anytime aunty and Kera use to trouble mi, mi woulda jus call her and the two of us jus walk go ball ground go sit down underneath the tree an talk an watch ball.

Even though she'd have to take a taxi to get here, she always come whenever I call.

The time was now going on to 8pm and I felt tired as heck already, I was ready to drop.

I went out and took a well needed shower, put on a big shirt dress and hopped right in bed.

It nuh look like Belle reach home yet.

I was hoping she'd call before I fell asleep but as much as I fought it, I was knocked out with out even realising.

"...making love faces (let the people sang), making love faaaaaces...."

I jumped out of my sleep to when my phone began to ring.

Just as it was about to stop I answered and put it to my ear, "Hello?" I said in my batman voice.

"Lawd god a which gun man dis pon mi fren phone, put her on nuh please sir." Belle said busting out laughing after.

"Haha yuh think yuh funny don't? An a how yuh jus a reach home?" I asked sitting up against the wall.

If yuh bed don't got no bedhead babygirl yuh a sleep pon table😭😭

"Mi say giiiirrrrll!!!!" She started so mi know she did ago come with something now.

"When mi reach Ochi mi stop a pizza hut cause mi did get hungry. Mi well stand up inna line a mind my own business, jus fi feel somebody hug mi up from behind." She said. I could picture how she was moving her hands all about and her facial expression.

"Nuh dutty Jeremy. A say how long him nuh see mi an how mi look good an him think bout mi everyday. Mi jus a say eeh cause mi nuh know wah him waa mi fi say cause a couldn't deh him waa we deh back." She said pointedly.

"Anyway him offer fi pay fi the pizza an mi accept it cause a never me beg. Then him ask if we can get a drink an catch up an true him offer an mi know say him naa see mi back fi purpose mi tell him say alright 1 hour." She continued.

"What a way yuh a accept from him eeh, wah else yuh "accept" inna the night deh?" I said just feeling her glare through the phone.

"Mi will nuh tell yuh nothing enuh girl." She replied in mock annoyance.
