Incognito Book 2

60 - Crush

JAYDA'S POV

I look at my lashes in the handheld mirror. Thinking I did really well.

A part of me wants to show Caleb but the sensible part of my brain says not to do that.

Mi nervoussss fi yuh.

I'm on my twelfth reason and if him ever say sumn weh mi nuh like then that ago my thirteenth reason.

Mi chest can't manage the stress right now.

Maybe him nah go notice.

Ohh please. You know your man nothing gets past him.

I got up this morning and eyed the cluster lash kit I got. Then one mind told me I could do it myself.

The same mind that told you to install your own wig?

Yes that same mind. 

I watched a few videos on youtube and bam I did it.

And did it well too, if I do say so myself.

Not trying to toot my own horn or anything like that but... toot toot.

 Caleb walks in just as I put the mirror down.

Act natural Jay, act natural.

I try to act natural, well as natural as I possibly can. But I do the opposite of that. I start acting extremely suspicious.

Caleb eyes me skeptically "Weh yuh in yah do Jay?"

"Nah do nuttn babe." I shrug my shoulder.

His left eyebrow is practically touching his forehead "Mhmm...Mi nuh believe yuh."

I discreetly tug the pack of the lashes along with the glue back in my makeup bag and close it. Then I start moving around the things on my vanity table as to not draw attention to the lash kit.

 "If yuh nuh want believe that up to you."

He starts circling me like a predator watching its prey "Yuh in yah play wid yuhself?"

That tugs laughter from the pit of my stomach "Crasis, the way yuh play wid my front mi woulda wicked fi want play wid it myself. Mi poor kitty need all the rest she can get."

He laughs too "True that. True that."

I get up walking over to the bed and start straightening it.  He comes over to help, I stay at one end him at the other. We fix the bed in record time since I'm trying to get away from him as fast as I can.

"Mi did tek out some shrimp and lobster outta the freezer dis morning and season it. Ago curry that with some white rice." I advise.

"Mhmm" He hums. "That sound good."

I go to walk away but he stretches his hand out pulling me towards him. I keep my eyes down staring straight ahead at his chest.

He puts his hand under my chin tipping my head up. "Yuh think me never did ago notice yuh blinkers dem?"

Why Caleb can't be normal and say lashes. Him affi come wid him extra self 'bout blinkers.
