"Skull." I answer climbing in the bed.

"Ria it's me, me borrow Trey phone. What's up." Jody ask.

I sit up straight on the bed happy as hell to hear from my girl because she been locked down with Skull for two weeks now.

"Jody, what's up."

"I miss you!"

"Yeah right and you lock down."

"No girl I am back home. Skull mash up my phone so me a use his until mine reach."

I smile and pull my sheet over me. These two are insane.

"Suh where is Skull?"

"Girl I'm single so bye."

"Weren't you just bood up? Y'all are something else."

"He probably at some random bitch house as we speak."

My phone starts ringing and it's Kahjeel so I quickly end the call with Jody and answer Kahjeel.

"Hello."

"Mi a grab some stuff at a restaurant you want anything?"

"Yes but I'll go get it later."

"What you want B?" He ask sounding stressed.

"Fine, I want some jerk chicken and mashed potatoes ."

"Ahh, what kinda drink? Boba or ice tea?"

"I don't even know." I reply.

"Alright me go get both and some snacks. Later."

Nique walk in just as I end the call and place the phone on my night stand.

"As me come in you stop talk. A might go tell Busshead seh you a chat to man in yah." She says laughing.

"Why unuh always a talk bout him like him a me father? Miss I'm grown and Kahjeel does not control me."

Nique grab one of my snacks on the bed and start stuffing her mouth while scrolling on her phone.

"Yeah right keep saying that until you believe it."

"Yes mam."

"Suh what's up with you and thing."

"I'm okay, Jody just called me. Apparently Skull broke her phone so she is using his business phone."

"The two a them a two demon. Yuh nuh know seh she practically moved in."

I sit up properly so I can focus on the news. "What you saying."

"A yesterday or the day before me go up there and him closet split in two."

"That's crazy, them move fast though."

"Then Busshead nuh soon move you in a him room to."

"Hell no."

"A him rule this thing so me nah meds you."

"I respect him but he does not rule me." I say to Nique who is still scrolling on her phone.

"Ria, the Busshead you know is not the same others know. Yes you know he is a gangster but I don't think you know the extent of it."

"Wah that Nique?"

We both look towards my door and Kahjeel is standing there holding some shopping bags. He looks angry and annoyed at the same time.

He place the bags on the ground and is looking at Nique who looks dumbfounded.

Kahjeel lie like show, he just told me he was at a restaurant but here he is five minutes after mean mugging Nique.

No one is saying anything and you can cut the tension in the room with a knife.

I walk over to him and tip on my toes so I can wrap my hands around his neck and peck him a few times on his cheek.

He finally wrap his hands around me and lift me off the ground.

"I wanted you alone tonight."

I pull back and gulp in shock as my little girl starts throbbing.

Kahjeel and I haven't been intimate since the incident, I have school and he has been trying to heal properly. I also don't want anyone knowing we are dating so I try to limit my contact.

Nique is my girl and she already knows along with Skull but apart from that no one else knows and that's how it should remain.

"Tmrw we a go Dunn's river inuh B." He says and place my food on my table. Nique follow close behind him as they both leave my room.

I lay on the bed and smile to myself. I have been begging Kahjeel to let us go to the river and he has been putting it off for so long. He keeps saying it's a bad time to be out in the open and blah blah.

Finally tomorrow we get to go, I hope Nique and Skull comes along. What is a trip if they don't come? I have to call Jody to let her come as well.

I grab my phone and send a text instead of calling again.

Speaking of Skull, I need to figure out who is pregnant for him. Jody seems inlove with him and I don't want to not tell her something that could possibly hurt her in the future.

Skull has to tell me who he got pregnant point blank period.

I hear shouting in the living room and I know it's Zahria and Nique. To say they are cousins they bicker worse than enemies.

My phone starts ringing and I look at the screen puzzled. I don't have the number saved and it has been calling me for over two weeks now.

The phone finally stops ringing and I place it on silent then grab my food. I have a long day tomorrow so I need my food.

"A who that a call you?" Kahjeel ask walking into my room.

"I don't know but I blocked the number just now." I lie.

I may have not blocked the number but I don't know who it is and frankly at this moment I don't care.

Kahjeel climb on the bed and wrap his hand around my waist. "You mean the world to me Ria." He says kissing my tummy.

"Your my everything too Kahjeel Kahlid Lewis."

He chuckle and I rub my fingers through his hair as we both relax in each others company.

"Babe can I call you KK?"

He instantly sit up with excitement in his eyes. Can someone really be this excited about a nickname?

"Whatis it? has no one ever called you KK before?"

"A the babe weh u say shock me inuh. Come here." He grab my face and pull me in kissing me passionately.

"Kahjeel if we don't stop we gonna end up having sex right here." I whisper pulling away from the kiss.

"Yeah like we nuh deh have sex from when." He reply laughing
