"Jehlani." I lightly shook his shoulder, through it seems like he's in a deep sleep.

I've washed, dried and just finished combing his hair. All that seems like a therapeutic moment and he's even comfortable enough around me. Sleeping on my lap with his whole weight that had me numb.

Cause some a dem man yah paranoid. Cyaw get dem relax much less sleep roun' some ooman.

Besides that, he always had his own key to daddy's place but never used it because I never knew him like that.

Now today he wanted to spend the last few hours with me, though I can tell that he has something on his mind.

He dropped it and asked for me to wash his hair. I couldn't leave it like that so I combed it as well.

Giving him some neat cornrows and braiding that had me questioning myself.

If daddy eva know him cuss mih.

A deh suh him go know seh mih really like deh likkle big man yah. Cause I am no hairstylist but mih angle deh style yah.

I was about to nudge him again but I didn't bother.

I left him to enjoy his rest while I went out to eat my dinner.

After that, I even got ready for bed and Jehlani was still asleep. I was a little worried but I knew he must have been tired from all the studying he's been doing for his exams.

Daddy is the mastermind behind everything that we do.

As French was always for his books and daddy called him out of the house for our introduction, as well as to take a break from studying.

So when I was helping daddy and Candis, French resumes his studies. An as a parent, I can see when something is bothering someone, but I'll wait until he's ready to speak his mind.

So the best thing I can do is lay next to him and sleep.

Somewhat happy that for the second night in a row, and for the first time in my life, I'm sleeping next to a guy.
 
  
  
  
I woke up when I'm suppose to.

Getting breakfast that he made after doing my morning hygiene and to start my day's journey.

Putting my last bag by the doorway as I had nothing left in this old place, I turned to French who was already staring at me.

Smiling, I rolled my eyes and approached him.

"Wahm'n now?" I put my arms around him and looks up at his face.

"Can't you stay a little longer?"

My smile widens. "I would, but mih have Sani to pick up from grandma's house."

"We can go pick her up..."

"Yuh have to study and Sani really miserable." I laughed, as he raised a brow at my excuse. "Shi go mek noise a yuh head."

"Zayelle." He gave me a look that indicates that I must cut the bullshit.

"A daddy put yuh up to this?" I asked, moving my arms from around him but he puts them back.

"No, but he'll appreciate it a lot to see his grandbaby." He remarks and I laughed.

A daddy put it up to it.

"So mih a stay with daddy then?"

"No." He hissed. "I want you both to stay with me."

I looked at him good.
