Incognito Book 2

15 - Forgiveness

Happy Monday lovies.

Caleb's POV

Pushing my head through the slightly open door I glance over at Jay to check if she's asleep.

She's fully covered under the blanket.

And when mi say fully covered mi mean dung to her head.

I will never understand how woman do dem sumn deh.

Like she nah stifle?

Me sure she nah breathe well under that.

Suh me know woman will survive anywhere - all dung a Hell.

There is light reflecting from under it, so I know she isn't sleeping.

I bite the bullet, ready to apologize.

I've had some time to sit and think about everything.

Reflecting on my actions I see that I really fucked up. 

Sometimes me react solely based on emotions and not logical and yesterday was one of those days.

'I Caleb Royal take you Jayda Johnson to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law. In the presence of God I make this vow.'

I made that vow a little over two years ago and I don't take it lightly.

This is where my promises made to her have to come in handy.

This is the for better for worse part of it. 

I'll have to set my feelings and emotions aside and support my wife.

As much as I'll be disappointed and hurt, I'll get over it. One thing I'll never get over though is losing my best friend.

She senses my presence it seems and peeps from under the covers.

When she notices that it's just me she covers back her head.

A few steps later and I'm in the room slowly pulling the blanket from her head.

Nuh pull it too hard and mine she tell yuh bout yuh parts.

I glance down on the screen that's lighting up her face, know a must sumn nasty she in her a read man.

Them smutty book deh always keep her entertained. Especially the little Jamaican wattpad one dem.

"You eat?" I ask unsure of what else to say.

Look at you apologizing like a man. 'yOu EaT?'

She looks up from her kindle "No."

"Babe you know yuh affi eat." 

She's barely speaking above a whisper "I'm not hungry Caleb."

I join her on the bed "Want sumn a chillitos?"

Snuggling up to her, and feeling extremely pleased when she doesn't pull away or push me away either.

She contemplates it for a bit "Yes please. Umm..."

 "..Chipotle Grilled Chicken Tacos and Jerk Chicken Quesadillas. Add black beans to the Quesadillas."

What a woman know the menu by heart.

She pauses, clearly still thinking.

Coulda never more food she want. 

"Maybe a mini naco supreme too ohh and a lemonade as well."
