I rub my tired eyes and let go of an exhausted sigh. I haven't slept since yesterday, my heart feels heavy and there are so many emotions flowing around me and I can't just settle on one.

Another sigh leaves me and a hiss comes from Murray, the tension between us is thick and I definitely won't be the one to break it.

If him nuh chat tuh mi, mi nah open my mouth to no man.

"Yuh caah stop sigh dung the rass place" He whispers under his breath and I let go an even bigger sigh to annoy his ass.

"Bredda" He complains and I ease my head off the couch and turn to look at him.

Laughter escapes me when I see the bruise on his head side.

"Mi caah believe yuh still have Meka a beat yuh rass, Murray come on now" I stop laughing and hiss my teeth.

"Wah duh yuh?" He changes the topic and I look away from him.

What a man rass fass.

"Mi and yuh a chat fi mi tell yuh mi business?" I look at him and he lowers his eyes before pocketing his phone to stand.

"Joke mi a mek" I laugh and he sits back down in the chair, he gets himself comfortable and I turn my eyes back to the ceiling.

Even though Murray nuh gwaan like a man cause him a tek lick from Meka, I think he will understand where I am coming from.

We both have women in our lives that we can't seem to let go no matter what.

He can't let go of Meka though she beats him black and blue and I can't seem to let go of my wife though it's been years since she died.

"Suh me and Azriel do a thing Friday night" I share and a loud gasp leaves him.

I turn to look at him and shock covers his face.

"Nuh bother with the joking thing Murray, mi need yuh fi listen and listen good" He nods his head and I let go of a breath before giving him a rundown of my feelings.

"Mi feel all over the place, like mi nuh regret weh gwaan Friday night, mi just regret seh we dweet" I pause and he cocks an eyebrow confused,

"Inna the room we dweet" His eyebrows raise in surprise and my guilt increases.

"Mi wish mi coulda tek it back, and dweet inna the guest room" I share and he nods.

"Yuh have no hints of regrets?" He questions and I move into a sitting position and place my head in between my hands to ponder on his question.

Do I regret sleeping with Azriel Friday night?

Absolutely not, while I was under the influence, mi never that frig up that I didn't know what I was doing, I was fully conscious and I am contented with what happened.

I-I just don't know how to feel about the location and the feelings I am left with after it happened.

Friday night made me realise that the extent to which I thought I liked Azriel is more than what I have been telling myself.

"Mi nuh regret it" I share and he nods his head.

"Mi sleep with Shania a whole heap a time and yeah when mi did just start me did have a time when me feel guilty but after a while guilt was a once a time thing, but Friday night has left me with more guilt than mi can bare" I pause and run my hands over my face
