MY TEACHER

33

Monday came and it's more than clear that there is a shift between us. He left out and said not a single word to me.

Now it's after 4 in the afternoon and i still haven't heard from him. I saw Brianna only once since day. We would hang out around lunch at our spot on campus but I guess she was having a busy day.

I should just go hang out at the apartment today since Christian is avoiding me like a contagious disease.

Ringing Bri once more but i got no answer so i just gave up.

I think about if i should text Christian or Call him even but I'm afraid his reaction will be even harsher than last night.

Walking my way up to my building someone nearly knocked the life out of me.

"Jeez kill yuh wah kill me" i said holding my chest without seeing who it was. Wow, they smell good. I turn around and is face with that same guy...Dave.

"Oh i remember you...last night, the club, what is this destiny?" He asked smiling but i didn't find anything funny.

"No i think this little stalking game you're playing is sick and it's not working... I don't find you attractive..as you see I have a boyfriend" I said sternly remembering that he's the reason christian won't speak to me.

"Woah don't flatter yourself love, my bad for making a little joke...my sister stays in this building, she attend the university" he said putting up his hands up before turning away. Rolling my eyes I went to my room.

Hearing my phone ringing I searched the bed for my phone expeditiously. Please let it be who I think it is.

Looking at the caller id I see his name.

"You wah come on a trip to portland with me right now?" He spoke first and I immediately flew out of bed. Checking the time I see it is just after 8pm.

"Yeah...yes, how long are you staying?" I asked thinking why is this trip so sudden.

"Probably two nights, have a few things to sort out, thought you'd like to visit your grandmother but if it's too sudden then that's-" He said before I cut him off.

"No it's fine, what time will you be here?" I ask digging around for clothes to take with me.

"I am actually here, Can you come open the door" he said and I smiled.

Walking speedily to the front door, i unlocked it and there he stood in a black polo T-shirt, jeans shorts and black clarks. Okay why is this fucker so fine.

"Hi.." I spoke with a smile and his eyes looked me up and down before walking in.

"You can sit-" I started but stopped when I noticed he was trailing behind me to my room. "Or follow me" I said quietly.

"I thought you were mad at me?" I said once we got there and he sits on my bed. I wanted to tell him fi move up wid him dirty clothes but there's nothing more i love to smell than his cologne everywhere near me.

"You want me to be mad?" He asked and i rolled my eyes.

"You can't answer a question with a question" I replied folding my shirt to but in my bag.

"Fuck wrong wid yuh...Should I be mad about something Hailey?" He asked with his face filled with annoyance. Why whenever him talk to me too hard me wah cry?

"No i am not mad at you Hailey, me just hope yuh nah be stupid because yuh already know how my ting come down eno" he said with a sigh and I glanced over at him blinking back my tears.

"Mek me ask yuh this...yuh know the nigga?" He asked after there was a silence between us.

"No I only met him at the club babe" I said finally zipping my bag.

"Unuh neva do nothing right?" He asked staring at me. I shook my head no.

"Unuh neva do nothing right?" He asked firmer once more. "No we didn't" i answered and i hear him chuckled. Looking at him, he only shook his head.

"Alright..." he pranced off the bed and grabbed up my bag.

"Fawud" he said walking ahead and i quickly grabbed my charger walking out the room.

"Wow, it's been like what 3 months" I heard no other than Brianna say and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Please...I have been calling your phone" I told her folding my arms.

"No...babes is here now so you forgot who was here when they weren't" she said glancing at Christian who began walking to the door.

"Well you have been MIA for like forever..so I have the right to be mad too" I was annoyed that she thinks she's the only one should be angry.

"Yeah whatever, so what you don't live here anymore?" She asked pointing at the bag in my hand.

"Yes I still live here..we are going to Portland" i said and she gasped dramatically. Shit I forgot we planned to go together.

"Wow...just wow" I walked over to her and now she folded her arms.

"It's just for two days..." i told her and she's giving me the dirtiest eyes ever. This behaviour is very unlike Brianna. She was never this type. If anything she would've told me never come back.

"Bitch stop being dramatic...I see such man Neva fix yuh attitude proper" I attempted to make a joke and she didn't even react.

We stood there staring at each other quietly for what seemed like an eternity before I broke the silence.

"Well babes is waiting for me so see ya!" I said with a fake smile and turned away from her. She will come around she just needs some time.

Meeting Christian in the car he wasted no time pulling off.

"Brianna is acting mad weird" I stated and he shrugged focusing on the road. I stared at his juice in the drinker for the umpteenth time since it looked so good.

"She'll get over it, probably lonely" he grumbled and i take up the juice taking a sip. Before I could even begin to swallow it all came up back into my hand.

"Wah the fuck that" I spat and he started laughing.

"Yuh too greedy" he replied and to how the something bitter me fling on a fist pon him. He didn't even flinch.

"What is that?" I asked very curious as to why him a be so wicked to himself.

"The man seh it have Chaney root, Medina, raw moon and some wul heep tings" he said and I stared at him for a moment before shaking my head.

"So wah yah tek dem yah fah...yuh sick" I asked because he doesn't look ill to me.

"It mek yuh daughter walk and talk" he sings and I burst out laughing. Which daughter him a talk bout cause no cocomelon to the dolly womb.

That song made me start reminiscing of Sunday mornings with mommy and daddy dancing together and laughing just enjoying each other.

Good times.
