It's Complicated

Kyra's POV
Saturday, October 09
9:53 a.m.

We were driving back from Downtown after Paige picked up whatever she picked up.

I honestly didn't bother to ask and I'm glad we left there.

So here we are, heading to Starbucks on Old Hope road since it's still early and I told her I felt like having coffee.

"It's so pretty" Paige murmurs and I turn around to see that she was staring at my ring.

I look down at my hand and smile.

It is....

"Yuh deserve this and so much more" she says as she slows down at a stop light.

"I do, we both do" I say in all honesty.

Looking back at both our relationships in sixth form makes me chuckle a little.

"Memba when you and Ashawn did a link?" I laugh, remembering how smitten they were with each other.

I feel like Ashawn was in love but Paige wasn't.

"Memba when Zachary gi yuh bun?" she counters making me laugh out loud.

See now dat neva called for....

"A wonder weh him deh yah now?" I mumble, referring to Zachary.

Not that I care, I just want to know.

She drives off when the light changes to green. "A only hope him nuh end up like Mikayla and Laila"

My mouth parts at the mention of them.

"What happened to them is kinda sad though."

She hums in response. "True dat but memba Laila did wah kill yuh suh it kinda fair if yuh ask me"

I mean-

"True dat but poor Kayla- maybe if she neva did a follow Laila then she woulda alive today"

"Well dat a true but now it's too late unfortunately" she drives into the plaza and parks near the entrance of the shop.

She turns the car off and grab her purse. "Come nuh"

I put my phone in my purse before pulling the door to get out.

After closing the door behind me she locks the car with her key and then we walk side by side towards the entrance.
