Oshane's POV

"Oh?" is all I say. Don't know why I expected her to be Jamaican.

"I'm actually Spanish," she smiles and I look over at the partially sleeping woman. Her voice is soothing making the view outside even better.

"Dat mek sense,"

"What?"

"You're well spoken and your patois is ass, it's really crappy," I laugh and she flips me off.

It's not as bad as I make it seem but it's pretty shitty. Sitting here made me remember that I have a shipment to make tomorrow. I'll have to take her home early.

A few minutes of silence fell between us. I'm not concerned at first because I enjoy the peace and quiet but the sound of her soft but distressed moans caught my ear. I look over at her to see her tossing and turning lightly in her sleep. How she managed to fall asleep in such a short space of time I don't really know.

Her tossing and turning becomes more violent over the space of a few minutes. Cold sweat washes over her body followed shortly by loud and very heavy breathing. I make an attempt to embrace her.

"No!" she screams in her sleep. Waking up immediately, disoriented and out of breath. She rocks back and forth, crying and breathing even harder trying her best to catch her breath. The faster her breathing the more panicked she became.

"Hey, you're okay," I comforted. Cuddling her in my arms and kissing the top of her head. I rubbed her shoulders until she calmed down and snuggled into my chest. Her breathing slows and her eyes close once more.

My phone rings and I try my best to stay as still as possible as to not scare her.

"Yo?" I answer the phone without checking the caller ID.

"Yuh good fi tomorrow young don?" Nester asks from the other side of the screen. Nester isn't only an associate, he's also my close friend.

"Yeah mn, make sure a d right man unu capture enuh," I assure because it's not my
style to hurt the innocent. Crossing me though is not the best idea.

She turns slightly unto her side, exposing her side profile. She's a pretty sleeper even though it's obvious chaos for her. I understand the nightmares and waking up suddenly just to relive the same thing over and over again.

"Close to positive, yuh will know tomorrow," he confirms and I don't know what to believe.

"Ah bro bro if yuh seh suh," I say and he sighs and says his goodbyes before hanging up.

Stress nuh fit mi. This whole problem should not have existed in the first place. Don't want any problems with Spanish Town. Have more important things to worry about.

"Shane?" the younger girl moans lightly and partially opens her eyes.

"Deh yah baby, yuh good," I assure her and she closes her eyes once more. A small sigh escapes her lips as she snuggles closer to me.

It's roughly 11p.m and we're back in the room. It's only one bed so we have to share and me too nice fi sleep a grung. Not that I mind sleeping beside her.

"Shane?" I hear my name from the other side of the bed that I'm now laying in, shirtless.

"Yeah?"

"I want milk, where can I get some?" she yawns and I look over at her to see her looking back at me.

"I'll get it," I offer. The tiredness in her eyes is obvious and it's the right thing to do.

When since you care bout d "right thing to do?"
