I lay on the bed and look up at the ceiling and all I can think about is Kahjeel.

The time is minutes to two so I have been laying in bed for more than three hours.

It's safe to say I won't be sleeping tonight. I pull out my phone and start scrolling on tiktok, the first video start to play.

My husband and I were bestfriends before we got married. We have been together for 15 years.

I scroll past it and play the next video.

I'm inlove with my bestfriend but I don't know how to tell him.

I hiss and move on to the next video.

These are the signs to know if your bestfriend is inlove with you.

This is getting ridiculous I restart my for you page and skip the first two videos.

The best relationships are made from friendships.

I hiss my teeth and exit tiktok, I put the phone on the night stand and close my eyes.

My eyes open again so I look at the time and it's 2:09am. I cannot sleep so the best thing to do is go talk with Kahjeel.

I walk next-door to check if it is his room. I knock on the door and he open it looking like he just came out of the shower.

"What's wrong?" He ask as I walk in.

"I can't sleep, can I sleep here tonight?"

"Yeah." He answer with low eyes then walk back to the bed.

He take a seat in the chair beside the bed and I smile to myself.

"Why don't you join me on the bed?" I ask as I get comfortable.

"Me nuh want you uncomfortable."

"We have slept together before you know"

"Yeah me know B but it different now." He says looking through some paperwork on the table Infront of him.

"How so?"

"Cause you know I like you more than a friend." He reply not looking up.

I smile and crawl to the edge of the bed then walk to him and sit in his lap. "Do you love me?"

"I don't know B." He says finally looking up at me. "Mi rate you but you a fuck around.

"Kahjeel."

"Yes B."

"I'm afraid."

He tilt up my head with his index finger. "Afraid of what?"

"That we hurt each other"

"How so?"

"Everyone says we belong together and I like you alot but I know you don't do relationships."

"not even death can mek mi and you leff if you agree fi deh wid mi Maria."

I nod and he place his lips on mine. I feel my entire body go numb as I open my mouth so he can further the kiss. This feeling is more than what I felt in the Maldives, this feels like something my soul needs.

He lift me up and I wrap my hands around his neck, he walk us to the bed and lay us both on it never breaking the kiss.

I lift his shirt over his head and pull his belt buckle. He grab my hands before I can pull his pants button.
