Today is the day we leave for America and I'm not ready. I don't want to be around those people I don't know them they don't know me and more than anything I don't want to leave Shawnie. Friday night I stayed up so I could use my free minutes as I was talking to him on the phone telling him what was happening my mother burst through the door took my phone and beat me again "3 beating inna one day dat is swag" I laughed in my head. Saturday morning after I got up bath and did my chores i snuck in my mothers room because I knew she didn't bring my phone to work with her and I was right cause right under her pillow was my phone. I closed her door dialing Shawnie's number it rung once and then his voice came through the phone. " Nellie yuh alright" he asked concern lacing his voice, " yeah rope face tek mi phone lastnight n lic mi hssst" I replied " so Weh ya do" I asked him trying to make conversation because I wanted to forget that in less than 2 days I would probably never see him again. " mi deh inna yuh scheme come round a d unfinish house pon d side", instantly my heart and head felt lighter, I started smiling so hard my jaws hurt. " ahrite mi a come" I said while pushing my phone in my bra and walking out.

As I walked out I ran into my older sister "mi ago go dung a canal go pick mango gyal" I said knowing she wasn't gonna question me or care "Ahrite mek sure yuh reach bck inna d yaad before madam Pam or else yuh know how dat go" she answers referring to our mother. I shake my head ok walking through the gate and heading to my man, as I got to the unfinished house I spot a white pro box knowing it was him I smiled even more walking up to the window I looked inside. He was sitting leaned all the was back talking on the phone I smiled climbed in the passenger seat and sat staring at him, how far we've come from him buying me snackables when we were kids because he knew I loved them to ice cream on sundays to now giving me lunch money for school everyday even tho I didn't need it cause my mom made sure I was straight, I myself used to always buy him those tamarind bonbon every evening cause he didn't go to school but we have evolved I wanted to give him more I wanted to give him me because I felt he deserved it. "So Weh yuh deh pon mi baby" he says taking me from my thoughts " nth a wait pon yuh fi come offa d phone" I say looking at him with all the love i have for him showing in my eyes he chuckled while holding my neck pulling me to him giving me kiss on my forehead then on my lips. "If him eva know Weh him a do to mi" I said in my head.
