3 months later

Hearing the sound of my message notification, I tapped the screen twice .
It was Digicel still asking for their Digiloan I borrowed from the last day of school to call Alicia .

Shoulda mek she pay it back

Hissing my teeth, I lift myself off the couch and stroll to the kitchen . I'm so hungry . This kid just keeps eating.

Nobody neva send yuh guh breed

A neva spite.... di one likkle time mi tek hood mi breed, one sack a salt inuh kmt.

Leaning on the counter, my mind drifts to Alexandro. It's been weeks, and I haven't heard from him .

Tears started dwelling in my eyes, but I decided not to cry .

Not this time . I was not going to make him upset me , not today.

If he wanted me , he would check on me, and I'd tell him.

Jace has been here a few months now it's almost rime for CAPE exams, and my bump isn't even visible. That's a good thing .

Jace and Alicia have been in contact for a while, and she told him she's pregnant. I was shocked at first, but I have nothing to say or do . We are no longer together.

Yes, I've said it , we're not together, but he checks on me, and we are good friends. I now realize some relationships are to be left and buried.

That night when he came in late and he forgot my famous bowl , of course I argued . Then, when he went to take a shower, his phone was blowing up .

Dem seh weh yuh nuh know nuh hurt yuh

But I wanted to know because he spent a good amount of time out of the house, so I was curious to find out if he was cheating again.

I took up his phone and saw Alicia's contact name with a message saying, " I'm pregnant ."

I wanted to see or know no more, so I closed his phone and went to bed.

Days later, when my conscience wouldn't keep me quiet, I confronted him .

He kept saying, " Stop jumping to conclusion and mek mi explain."

Double time deception isn't surprising but disappointing.

I told him we're over and that we can only be friends. He didn't object or make a fuss . He simply agreed and apologized.
