Finding Him

16.

Bet say unu no know them chune yah, anyways heyyyyyy🤭.

Same night
Bri's POV

Standing in the corner of the room I can feel my anxiety getting bad, I need to step out before I flip out.
Quietly slipping away from the crowd I walk to the front of the restaurant taking a deep breath
In one, two, three, four, five. Out, one, two, three, four, five.
Repeating that action a couple times I begin feeling better and more at ease but the night air is soothing so I'll stand out here a bit longer.

"Yuh alright, how yuh run out pon me suh" Badz say's approaching me from behind.
"Mi good man, in there did just start feel clustered"

"How you run weh leave me so last night" I ask him referring to how abruptly he left our conversation.

"Yeah I know, some emergency did come up but it nah happen again tonight ago finish we conversation."
"What kind of emergency?"
"The person that was watching my son needed to leave so I had to go and get him"

Rathid hole now I think to myself trying to keep my face neutral. 
"Ohh you have a child?" I say now thinking about the situation

"Yes I do, is a problem?"
"Problem how?" I ask turning my attention to him.

"Well, me done already tell you from last night say me like wah me see, and I'm willing to explore this, so if yah one a them girl deh weh have problem with man weh have pikney tell me from now." He states looking forward, me literally have a million younger sibling so me no see the issue but go off sir

"How old is the kid?" I ask cause any man have pickney under five the relationship wid the baby mother still alive.
"He's two."

 
Seet deh now, then no problem that

"Mhm" I say not showing my hand
"Well I'm going back inside now, so later" with that I end the conversation and make my way back inside, a almost 10pm now and me honestly tired plus me have me little brother to watch tomorrow so I'm gonna need my rest.

 
Going to find Amira I tell her I'm leaving and giving her the gift I got her, it's this Tory sandals she sent me on TikTok, I know she's gonna love it.

"So yah go leave again and no tell me or give me a contact for you" Romário says behind me smiling, he told me today he would prefer if I call him that instead of Badz.
"Well are you going to ask for it?" I smile up at him.
"Briana, can I have a contact for you?" He asks me.
"Well since you asked" I laugh and take him phone that was already opened and in the contact app, putting the number in his phone I hand it back to him.

"I expect you to use that" I shout over my shoulder getting into my car and driving home.

11:40 PM
Startled from my sleep by my ringtone, I quickly silence it and then look at who could possibly be calling me this late at night like a them but the phone

876-399-****
Don't know this number so hear wah, back to bed I go.
*Ring Ring Ring*

No sah

Same number again "Hello?"
"Think a wrong number you give." A deep voice say in the other line and I'm confused for a bit before I can place the voice.
