A Dancehall Story: Book 9

Chapters 17 - Couple Up

Chalkline's POV

It was hours in the morning when we all got finished with them running tests on us.

I saw my wife once, she was mean mugging the fuck out of me then she disappeared.

"Everyone wants to sleep, I think we should show them to a room" Mel suggested.

"Some couples might have to share a room. I have 10 rooms and its 12 couples and Elliot and Chelsea" I said.

I keep thinking of how bad all of this is going to be. Why the fuck It has ro be my house?

"We can make area into rooms, you have two offices plus the 2 garage and 3 rooms has closets big enough to turn into rooms, it can work" she said and I thought about it.

"How long do you think we will be in quarantine?" I asked.

I don't think I can function with so much people in my house, some I don't even like and others, I couldn't stand.

"I'm not sure. Tuberculosis is very contagious and deadly so they will have to becareful and they will have to monitor all of us closely" she said.

"The kids Mel?" I asked.

I still can't believe I brought danger to my children.

"I made sure they are  safe, security will be round the clock and nannies are ok. You guys just have to check in on them as often as you can just to make them feel comfortable." she said.

I rubbed my eyes because I was sleepy and stressed out at the same time.

"My wife, she is not handling this well, Jah know I'm to blame for all of this and she will not forgive me."  I worried.

"Garrick you just have to thread lightly, be calm, don't do anything to trigger her and be nice to your guests during this lock down, that's it."

"Mel they aren't my guest. Apart from the party mi nuh want dem yah. Which guests?" Now I was about to lose it.

"Garrick you have to treat them as such for your wife's sake. You can't be mad at them and she is mad at you, it will be chaos in your home. You don't want that," she said.

She was probably right. I can't be stuck in the house with Stacy being upset with me.

"I will try my best but I swear to Go–"

"Garrick, be calm"

I took a deep breath.

"I will have to call pastor Nunes in the morning because all of this need strong faith"

"I know. Go get some rest, I will show everyone to a room and in the morning we will figure it all out" she said but I really wish I had another room  to go.
