A Dancehall Story - The Final Years. Part 1

Chapter 8- The Bullet

Chalkline's POV

When I got up in the morning Stacy was already downstairs helping the kids get ready for school. I went back up to the room to wait for Melody to wake up and ended up falling back asleep. It was after 12 when I woke up again.

"Yuh know dah gyal yah wicked, all me phone deh pon silent to pussyclaat," I cursed. I walked to our bedroom and she was in there watching TV.

"You could have woken me up enuh," I said to her.

"You looked tired so I allowed you to sleep," she replied, she didn't even look at me.

"I had two meetings and I missed both of them."

"They will survive," She said nonchalantly.

"Stacy, if you see me sleeping for too long please wake me. Suppose a dead me did dead?"

"My insurance claim would be hefty?" She replied.

"Yuh alright? Me nuh inna the mood today yuh hear me."

I hissed my teeth and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. After I got out to get dressed she was gone.I got dressed and went downstairs to find her. She was sitting by herself at the pool just looking out of space.

Something was definitely bothering her now and I was afraid to ask. I took my phone out to call Dr. Ellis.

"Are you worried about her?" I was so frightened by Mel's creepy voice in my ears.

"Why the hell yuh a sneak up on me like that?"

"Sorry," she said, then walked towards the kitchen making me follow her.

"Stacy say anything to you?"

I know Stacy and anything she thinks she wants me to know, she is going to tell Mel.

"Nothing much, she just talked about the kids and Tricia's wedding. Maybe you should talk to her about those," she replied.

"Maybe when I get back but I have to run to the office really quickly, I missed two meetings because she didn't wake me up."

"You don't have to, those meetings were taken care of. Now would be the perfect time to get your wife some flowers and some gifts that you picked out, not Kelly," Mel said.

That wasn't a bad Idea. I haven't gotten her anything in a while.

"Ok, if she asked for me, tell her i'm going to the office"

"Go tell her yourself, Garrick."

"Mel yuh pick and choose when to nuff up yourself inna mi life?" I asked.

"Yes Garrick," she replied then left me standing in the kitchen. Now I had no other choice but to go talk with Stacy. She was still sitting there just looking into the water that she didn't even see me approaching her.

"Stacy?"

She turned her head quickly to look at me.

"Yes?"

"I'm going to the office real quick, I just wanted you to know. Ummm... You want me to bring back anything for you?"

She twisted her fingers while thinking, "No, I don't think I need anything... oh wait, maybe you can bring back the woman's name that you were sleeping with while I was going through hell, yeah or maybe you could bring her here so I could tell her thanks."

Instant bloodclaat headache.

"We are going back there?" I asked.

"We never left there and until you can tell me who, we won't be sleeping in the same bed and you will not be putting your whoring long hood into my body. Anything else?"
