Aaron's POV*
"What's wrong with you?" I ask but she continues to lie.
"Nothing is wrong with me"
"10 seconds to tell me what's wrong"
"I want to leave"
"What happened? Kenya make me know wah deh gwan nuh."
She sighs before opening her phone and giving it to me
I hiss before turning it off and putting it in my pocket
"Come" I say to her after getting up and stretching my hand out for her to hold
I walk her to the car and we get in
"Are we leaving?" She asks
"No, you're enjoying the night...As long as yuh good, we nuh affi leave"
"You didn't tell me about Cheese."
"Because that nuh have nut'n fi do wid yuh"
"Yes it does....Candice probably a go through a hard time right now"
"I don't mean to be insensitive but me nuh give a fuck bout Candice."
"Don't say that...She's pregnant and her baby father gone a jail"
"Right....And it is being dealt with...I also made sure that she's with her mother."
"While me understand say unuh a bestfriend....If something a bother her, that's not the way to do it. Fi her problems a nuh yours."
"It is. Wah yuh mean?"
"No. You're her friend, she vents and you listen. Yuh give her a shoulder fi cry on. You have a life too. Yuh happiness nuh depend pon her mood. Leff that to her man"
"And make she know that..." I say to her and she sighs
"Yuh nuh know real friendship"
"If a so real friendship go me nuh want it a bloodclaat" I say and she chuckles
"I get what you're saying" She says and I nod
"Good"
We get out of the car and make our way back inside
Kenya's POV*
"Goodnight, May I offer you a Cranberry Brie Bite or a Bacon Brie Crescent Wreath?"
I look at both appetizers before I look at Aaron and he chuckles
"Never tried it. Me nuh know how them taste"
I take a napkin before putting the Cranberry Brie on it and we go to our seats.
Another waiter is at the table offering century eggs
"No" Aaron says and his friends are now cackling
"Move wid dat bredda" Saeed says
...
3:44 a.m
"How yuh drunk off a champagne babes?"
"Me nuh drunk" I lie
It's too embarrassing.
A few glasses of champagne and a Jell-O shot?
Mi shame!
"Everybody else downstairs a watch movie. I'm not drunk, I promise"
"Sleep" He says and I hiss before turning on my side
Aaron leaves the room and a few minutes later, I'm fast asleep.
11:27 a.m
I open my eyes to Aaron standing beside the bed
"Frass" He calls and I chuckle before getting up
"We're going to your mothers house. So get ready" He says and I knit my brows
"Why?" I ask
"Me nuh know. She wants me to bring you over"
Oh, I guess she's finally ready to tell me about Dale
I don't get why she was hiding it though....
What the fuck was I going to do?
I exhale before leaving the room and going downstairs to make coffee
"Cyah believe yuh" Paige says and I begin laughing
"Me and rum nuh gree" I say to her
"Me realize"
"Yuh want coffee?" I ask and she shakes her head no
"Everybody up from after 8" She says
Once again....
Mi shame!
We talk until the coffee is finished and then I go back into my room
The hours run by and everyone is ready to leave
We say our goodbyes before we get in the i8
I feel so guilty about Candice.
I just can't shake the guilt and I don't know why
Am I in the wrong?
I need to call her.
"Cheese come out?" I ask him and he nods
"So he's home now with Candice?"
"Maybe" He responds and I roll my eyes before taking out my phone
I dial her number and it declines...
I sigh before putting it back in my purse
I'm trying to keep an open mind.
We arrive at my moms house and she greets us at the gate.
Dale is washing his car and I wave to him before hugging my mother
"If me never call and say come over, yuh wouldn't come look fi me?" She asks
"I was planning to but me never sure because yuh deh hide Dale from me"
"Everything Dale, Dale, Dale. Leave Dale alone" She says and I chuckle
Aaron walks over to Dale
She leads me inside the house and I can tell that something is wrong.
I see the worried look on her face and it's making me nervous.
My mom is not one to worry. Even if she is, she's always so good at masking it.
"Mommy wah happen" I ask, breaking the silence and she sighs before sitting beside me and placing her hand on my knee
"I'm going to tell you but I don't want you to worry" She says and I exhale
"I can't promise you that....What happened?" I ask again and her eyes are now teary
What the fuck?
"Mommy"
"Baby, I have Stage 2 breast cancer....I've known for a while now, I just didn't know how to tell you. I don't want you worrying, I don't want you to be sad. You're life has been so great....You've been doing so well"
"What?" I ask out of shock
My face covered in tears.
