Christine is a 22 year old woman that falls in love with someone she didn't intend to. Her actions seems to go without consequence. Oshane is a single father that also has a lot of hidden secrets. Will their new found love last or will those consequ...
I'm up from 5a.m and I've already started preparing the meal. The rice is on the fire, so is the chicken and I'm also boiling potatoes and eggs for the mash potato. The casserole is in the oven and the drinks were made yesterday.
"Good morning Christine," Oshane's raspy morning voice greets and it makes me feel some type of way even though I've heard it every morning.
Him practically live yah.
"Good morning," I greet back with a smile.
"A guh start fry the fish and base the ham," he offers and it's with great gratitude that I thank him for his generosity.
"Thank you,"
"Yuh good mn," he yawns.
A few hours pass and I'm starting to hear people arriving.
"Yuh good man, mi will finish up," he says, surprising me and this makes me smile. As a good man.
"Oh my God, thank you," I say. I lightly kiss his cheek as I walk past.
My mom is out in the dining room, setting the table. I saw her earlier so I didn't have to greet her. We're still not on speaking terms but I'm not mad at her, just disappointed.
"Good morning," Anthony greets.
"Good morning," I lightly smile and I can see he's taken aback by my actions.
Cause nuh you nuh like e man?
I exit the dining room and head to my room to pick an outfit. It didn't take long because I already had an idea of what I wanted to wear.
I take a hot shower before going back to my room where I take a seat on the bed, my towel wrapped around my unclothed body and my phone in hand scrolling on Instagram.
I got a few new likes and comments on my latest post. It's me in the white dress I wore to the club. I blush as the memories of that night floods my brain.
A knock at my door brings me back to reality.
"I'll be there soon," I voice and I hear the footsteps leave.
I got dressed in a bright red dress with puffy sleeves that fall off my shoulders.

I admire myself in the mirror before sliding my feet into clear top 2 inch heels and heading outside where the majority of the celebration will be.
The sun is bright outside and the view is phenomenal. My mom is done with the table inside so I pass her on my way to the spacious backyard where I find Oshane and Aldaine.
"Yuh okay?" I ask as I approach them and Oshane nods, signalling that he's fine.
A little further down I see some of my family from my mother's side, seemingly that I don't interact with my father nor his side of the family even though I know him.
"Hiiii," Ashanti squeals as she runs towards me with open arms. I joined her squealing and stood with my arms wide stretched waiting for the contact.
"Hey Shanti," I hug her and we laugh, rocking each other from side to side. The type of hug that is heart filled. She's Aunty Tyra's daughter, my mother's third oldest, my mom being the forth.
I have 4 aunts and 5 uncles. They age in the order from oldest to youngest: Uncle Vincent, Aunty Ty-Ann, Aunty Tia, Aunty Tyra, My mom (Trinity), Uncle Vinton and Vinson (twins), Uncle Victor, Uncle Vance and Aunty Teyana.
"I haven't seen you since last Christmas. Yuh cya text mi?" she slightly shoves my shoulder as we release our embrace and laughs.
"Gyal mi not have time fi scratch mi head," I say honestly before laughing and she continues laughing along with me.
"Mi know dem way deh mn," she says and I look over at Oshane who is still standing in the same spot. He looks so out of place but he still manages to not look awkward.
"Oye, bwoy Christine yuh nah listen eno," she whines and I chuckle. Her eyes find where mine previously were.
"Him nice ee, a nuh wah cousin dat cause mi nuh know him and mi know all a unu," she smirks at me and I blush a little.
No sah, look like fenty need fi link yuh…yuh can blush ee.
"He's here for me," I say shyly, I don't know why admitting that makes me nervous.
"Mrs single and independent find man?" she says creating the most excitement.
She extra yuh see mn.
Aldaine runs over to me and I pick him up.
"Hey little one. A who fah pickney dis?" she says and I mentally facepalm.
Why she must brawling and stay suh?
"His," I say simply and she starts again with the excitement.
We finish catching up and she says later and goes to find her boyfriend and mother.
"Hey Shaney," I say and he looks away from his phone and down at me.
"Yuh good?" he asks with a tad of confusion lacing his face.
"Yeah you just look lonely, we're heading to the games section that I set up around the back. Would you like to join?" I propose.
