*May 11 (5 months before the switch)*

As a lover bwoy yah fi know seh yuh fi treat yuh oman good.

Give har food, conpliment har, buy har things, give har yuh undivided time, listen to har. But mostly, yah fi trust har.

Can't build a relationship without trust.

And as a lover bwoy yah fi know unu anniversary.

Today was ours.

Rajauny and Toni-ann. Toni-ann and Rajauny.

Or as mi dawg dem woulda call wi, "Mary and Joseph".

I let out a little laugh in my mind as I recall the day they gave us that name. Affi laugh ina mi mind because people will think seh mi a mad.

I push the grill leading to my girlfriends' classroom. A bouquet of roses in my left hand and a bag filled with her favorite things in my right.

"Babeeeeeeeeeee" I heard the soft thrilling tone of her voice sing out.

I smiled as I saw her running over to me. I saw that she was about to jump so I hurriedly put the goods to the floor before reaching my arms out so I could catch her. Losing my balance for a bit.

People would call my girl fat and whatever them wah cause mi nuh care. Mi love har wid every last strand await mi have pan mi head. All when mi cute it, mi love fi har aggo grow back juss like mi hair.

And dem know fi a fact seh dem cyah seh dem ting deh round mi because mi nuh fried fi bax a man.

I've done it before. And I'll do it again.

Anything for my girl.

"Awww, yuh remember we anniversary?" She cooed looking down at the bags and roses bunched at my feet.

I raise an eyebrow at her question, "we've been together for the last 2 and a half years. How mi fi figet we anniversary?"

She let out a laugh before leaning in and capturing my lips.

Kissing her never got old. Her strawberry mint chapstick graced my lips and invaded my tastebuds. Her fresh minty breath from her chewing Wrigley's. It was all just perfect.

I slip my hand around her waist, flushing her against me as I try to deepen the kiss. Then she pulls away.

I let out a groan as I looked down at her smiling face.

"Wi deh school suh calm yuhself" She whispered in my ear, her cold breath brushing against my ear.

I sustained my groan.

"Anywaysssss, watching got me?" She smiled down at the gifts.

I smiled at her cuteness before stooping down to the ground grabbing the gifts and resting them on the desk beside me.

"Check for yourself"

I watched as she guh through the bag before her hands finally pulled out a small box.

I hurriedly took it from her.

"Dat affi later, search the rest" I hurried out nervously.

She looked at me stunned for a moment then she snapped out of her trance and continued to search.

Between you and I. Mi a plan fi drop a promise ring pan har.

She's been here through everything. She's even loyal no matter what, even telling me when my most trusted friend since the 3rd grade tried to have sex with her.
