A Dancehall Story: Book 9

Chapters 32- Locked In

Chalkline's POV

Xavier covered the phone of his hand. "Yuh sure G?" He asked in a whisper.

I've never been so sure about anything in a while. I wanted hear this. I fix my daughter properly in my hands and got comfortable.

"Yes I'm very sure" I replied. He was smart enough to put it on speaker without me asking.

*The Conversation*

Stacy: are you still there?

Xavier: yes.... I'm here.

Stacy: I sent you a message telling you that I must have called you by mistake—

Xavier: Yes, I was going to reply but...

Stacy: That's ok. It wasn't really a mista —

Xavier: Stacy are you ok? Sounds like you are crying.

I realized what he just did but I'm going to hold it for now.

Stacy: I don't know, I'm probably just sad, lonely and need someone else to talk to other than the people around me.

Xavier: I know the feeling. Sorry you are feeling lonely and sad.

Bwoy don't make me shoot yuh inna yuh mother's house.

Stacy: it's ok. You will get over it... suh how have you been?

Xavier: I have been here and there, you know me.

Stacy: Yeah busy body. When I saw you the other day, I kept blushing when I drop off.

Xavier: Really?

Rassclaat, really now? Link up?

He made sure to avoid eye contact with me but rubbing his forehead was a sure sign of stress.

Stacy: Yes, just made me wonder for a little. What if?...

Xavier: *silence*

Stacy: Xav?

Xav? Ok Stacy.

Xavier: I'm here Stacy, I'm just putting my sisters to sleep.

Stacy: The twins. Funny enough they are the best thing that came from our little fling right?

Xavier: They are amazing. I love them like they were mine.

Stacy: I feel so bad, I'm talking to you and you are holding your sister and it just hurts me that I can't love them.

Xavier shook his head in my direction.

Xavier: I understand your situation and no one is forcing you to. They are loved.

Stacy: Thank you for understanding. It sounds like you would make a good father.

Xavier: I might get the chance to find out soon.

Stacy: Really? Congratulations Xav. I know you will be the best father that baby could ask for.
