The Next Morning

Slowly, and quietly I took up my stuff one by one to sneak out the house.

I took a look at him in the bed knocked out. Snoring, he looks so peaceful when he's asleep.

Grabbing the car keys, as I open the door ofcourse.

"Xiomara, hi"

"Hi Stella" I felt so embarrassed she must can read the room.

"Mi tink yuh woulda come a work dem hours yah, not leave."

"Yes...mi nuh feel good suh mi just aguh leave" opening the door wider for her to enter so I can leave.

"Feel better."

"Thanks." I said over my shoulder.

As I'm driving my thoughts are unsettled, mi caah believe mi mek Romelou devour mi insides like that.

⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

I walked into the apartment, Dominique jumps up from the sofa and blocks me at the door.

God mi promise fi nuh guh round Romelou again just don't mek this blow up outta proportion.

"Weh yaah come from Xi?" He asked seethingly.

"Ova mi madda" I pushed pass him and he grabs onto my hand.

If Dominique nuh waah mi put me hand pon him, him betta let me guh.

"Mi a call yuh phone, mi call yuh sister nobody naah tell mi nothing. Yuh coulda send me a text or even call." He shouts in my face.

"Mi phone lost, I don't know where it is." I replied without looking at him.

"Mi a track yuh phone enuh from day before yesterday." he said and my heart skipped two beats, "It deh cherry gardens."

"Cherry Gardens? mi mussi lost it ova Romelou house."

When he heard Romelou's name his grip tightened around my wrist.

I'm trying to stay calm because I know I'm in the wrong, but if Dominique tink him aguh manhandle me mi send him right dung a KPH.

"Yaah squeeze me hand umbre, let me guh."

"Xi, weh yuh ring?"

What the fuck? Den a when and how the ring come off? To how mi sneak out this morning mi not even pay attention to nothing.

"It look like mi leff it pon the night stand ova mommy."

"Yuh just have all the answers this morning right?"

True yuh deevn know...

"Dominique let me guh, mi waah guh use the bathroom." I try to wring my hand from his grip but the bwoy is stronger than me.

"Mi know yuh waah mad me enuh Xi and yuh win Xi, yuh win. Yuh sleep ova yuh parents two nights couldn't even call me. Yuh know what the fuck did a guh tru mi head."

"Nuh cuss no badward offi mi!"

"Why? Hhmmm? Why? Yuh know weh mi did deh here a guh tru, the thoughts? Mi almost report yuh missing."

"When mi track yuh phone and see suh yuh deh a Cherry Garden." He shook his head.

"Mi leff Cherry Garden and gaah mi madda fi the two days dem... mi did need some space."

"Space?" he scuffs. "Space?!" he yells, letting my wrist go and punch the wall with so much force his knuckles started to bleed.

In the moment he startled me and I jumped and grabbed my chest but, me and him kno seh dats all him can duh.
