Tanoi Cunningham

"You have kids?"

I turn to look at Jaydon from where I sat in the guest bedroom.

Imani demanded that I got some sleep, I slept through most of the day, I woke up and he helped me to take a shower, helped to clean my wound again and then went out to get me something to eat.

Him never ago stop being himself.

And mi cyaah argue with him about it.

"Yeah", I softly answer, watching as he stepped into the room and closer to me.

I pulled Imani's hoodie over my head, he told me to put it on but I wasn't ready yet.

So I stood with it around my neck.

"Are they his?" Jaydon asks, "you had kids with the Don, are you crazy?".

He chuckles at his own question.

"You wuda know crazy don't?", I raise an eyebrow at him, "why yuh even bother go further with me if yuh know yuh never really love me?".

"Of course mi did love yuh"

"Cho, doh try lie to mi Jay"

"Ano lie mi a tell yuh Tanoi, mi did really love yuh but who ago really compete with Chinna?, ano likkle bit a things mi hear bout unu eno"

Hear yah now.

I roll my eyes, "all a dem things was from high school days, once mi reach college me cut off all contact with him so mi nuh know wah kind things yuh cuda hear".

"So yuh never deh wid him once since me and you did start date?"

"No, a after yuh start cheat and gwaan wid yuh antics that, plus you weren't much of a saint so don't try to blame anything on him"

"Brielle never make it seem like that though"

I laugh, bwoii oh bwoii, she nuh rest?.

It come like she did out fi get me.

"So yuh did a fuck Brielle to?", I squint my eyes at him.

His facial expression alone was enough to confirm my suspicion.

I laugh again, "mi shuda know".

So she did just a lay dung fi ruin mi life.

Mi cuda actually have a life with Jaydon?.

No, mi nuh think so, mi wuda still find some way date Mani again.

"She made it so believable that you and him was doing things, you always have him on yuh status and yuh Instagram, mi couldn't think otherwise"

Him kinda have a point, even though you and Mani never did inna no talking unu always a post each other.

Him cuda simply ask, everything always come wid aggression fi him, das why we couldn't get along.

No wonder him did stay the way him stay, take hear say, run with it and ruin everything.

Dodged a bullet anyway.

I don't answer him right away, his answer made no sense to me, he could have asked me about it, I would have told him some of the truth.

I wanted to have a normal life with him at one point in my life, but he pushed me back into the arms of Imani.

We were toxic but I could always count on him to be there for me, even if he didn't want to, he always showed up.

"Even now, you're not ashamed to be sleeping with my friend?" I ask him.
