Maria Pov

"Hey Maria, Busshead said to get ready we all going to a Airbnb in a few." Nique says walking in my room.

"When did you talk to him? I have been calling him since he left but he has not answering or returning my calls."

"Honestly I don't know, ask him when he gets here."

Before I can respond she heads upstairs.

I have not seen Kahjeel since he left my room some hours ago. I tried calling him and it went straight to voicemail, Nique has been busy as well so it's just been me and my phone in the house waiting.

My phone starts vibrating and I smile seeing Alex name on the screen. My heart is at ease because he is still alive.

"Hey Alex." I answer trying to contain the fact that I'm smiling.

"How are you?"

"I'm okay, I have a bruise but I'll be fine."

"Maria I'm so sorry about today. I wanted to ask you if you would consider having dinner with me tonight to make up for today."

I look at the phone and I don't know what to say to him. It's like my mind is blank.

"It doesn't have to be a date but just two friends eating dinner. It's my way of apologising yet again for hurting you." He says trying to convince me.

"I would but I'm getting ready to go out with my friends."

"It's okay, I understand. I'm going back to Kingston tomorrow so you can let me know."

"Why were you in my community?" I ask.

"I dropped off the receptionist at my uncle's clinic at her house and was leaving."

"Oh, so you don't live in Montego Bay."

"No, I couldn't take traveling everyday to Kingston. I don't know how you do it."

"So you left Kingston to drop a receptionist home, she must be really good at her job."

"Hey, I'm not sleeping with her if that's what your thinking." He says laughing.

"Why would I care? Anyways I have to go bye." I reply and end the call.

I'm kind of wondering if they are dating but I'm not giving him the satisfaction of knowing that.

He seems sweet and all but I don't want to entertain certain conversations while in a relationship. Besides Kahjeel would have him killed if he ever got to know that I'm still in contact with him.

I put on my dress that I will be wearing and grab my shoes. I walk outside to the living room and sit on the coach.

Zahria and Diamond walk down the stairs laughing and talking with each other. They both walk past me without acknowledging me. the last few days have been amazing because they avoid me at all times.

They walk out the front door and I'm left waiting in the living room since I don't know who will be taking me to the location of the Airbnb. This seems like I'm the last to know.

The front door opens, Kahjeel walks in and walk right past me. I stand and try to talk to him but he ignores me and continue upstairs.

I can't blame him for his reaction but I do wish he will just hear me out.

I have been sitting here for about an hour when kahjeel finally walks down the steps with his suitcase. He walks to the front door without looking at me once.

"Weh your suitcase deh?" I hear his voice behind me.

"In my room, it's too heavy for me to move it." I reply standing to face him.
