CHAPTER 9 - JODIE

I waved bye to Dwayne as he got in his cab, I stood at the door until his cab drove off then looked up and down the road to see if anyone was about, i clocked my brother walking up the road with that girl, so i quickly went back inside and shut the door. I heard my phone ringing from inside the front room so i went to answer it,
'Hello'
'Who's that, that come out the house fam!?', It was my brother,
'What?',
'Who's that tall yute fam!?'
'What are you talking about?'
'I just see one yute come out the house and hop ina cab, and don't chat shit cah i see you at the door',
'I don't know what your talking about, i went outside to check the weather, that yute came out one next house', I lied, cah i know he didn't see nothing.
He kissed his teeth 'Your gassed, anyway I'm outside, open the door', he locked the phone, i stood at the door for an extra couple minutes before opening it.
I opened the door and let them both in, I looked the girl up and down, then realised I'd seen her before, a couple years back she came to my mans house with his boy Lawrence. She still looked pretty, but she had a cut on her cheek and a black eye, which looked like it was fading, her hair was tied up in a messy bun and she was wearing a white hoody, blue skinny jeans and white and black Nike Rifts. As i made eye contact with her, she smiled at me
'Rah, you two actually kinda look alike - your really pretty',
'Thanks', i smiled back at her,
'Of course she's pretty, she's MY twin. Look how sexy i am, you think my twin could be ugly, no waay',
She laughed and I kissed my teeth at his vain-ness, but it was true, we were boom.
'Anyways, I'll be back ina sec', I went upstairs to look for my keys.
It took me a good 10 minutes to remember where i put them, i randomly found them under the bed. I went back downstairs and they was in the front room sitting down, suckin each others face off. I coughed to get his attention.. they carried on.. I coughed even louder and they stopped, he looked at me
'Urghhh', I screwed up my face,
he got up, walked over to me and took the keys out my hand,
'Safe for that',
they both walked out the house, i followed them to the door.
'Make sure you go home soon yeah - Khalil's probably missing you', he said as they both walked away,
I kissed my teeth and shut the door then went back upstairs and got dressed.

Before i left the house i looked in the mirror for the last time to make sure i looked on point. I put on my clear lip gloss then ran my fingers through my hair then fluffed it up a bit, you'd think i was mixed the way my hair is so frizzy and wild, most people think i look like how Kelis used to back in the day.
I double checked that everything was switched off, then left and went to the 44 bus stop to go Tooting and get my nails done before i went home.

As i got to the bus stop the bus pulled up, i got on it and went upstairs. I screwed up my face as i clocked bare school kids on the bus, I sat down a couple seats from the back and took out my phone to check the time, it was 4.15pm, i hated being on road at these times, with these school kids.
As the bus stopped outside Southside in Wandsworth, i looked out the window and clocked a familiar face, it was my mans bredrin Lawrence, I'd been tryna avoid him for the longest time since he started moving differently towards me. I quickly looked away from the window so that he couldn't see me if he looked up, but then he got on the bus anyway, so i looked out the window instead so hopefully he wouldn't notice me when he came upstairs, but that didn't work cah he clocked me. He came and sat down next to me as i continued to stare out the window, his bredrin Marcus sat down in the seats in front but turned around to face us,
'Jo-dee.. long timme, wha gwarn?', he put his arm round my shoulder
'Erm, sorry to disappoint you but I'm her twin still', I gave him some fake smile
'Stop chatting shit'
'Alright, do you want me to call her now?', i gave him a look to say i was serious
'Stop chatting shit, these times i can see your tatt', he grabbed my arm and held it out so you could blatantly see the tattoo i had on my wrist, Marcus started laughing.
I had my mans name, 'Aaron' with a little heart next to it. People always call me dumb for it and my mum flipped when she saw it, but i love him. I had it done when i got pregnant with our first yute a couple years back when I'd just turned 18, but i lost it at 3 months.

I pulled my arm out of his hand,

'Yeah, so you know.. fall back', I try shoo him away with my hand

'Fall back uno', Marcus laughed 'Ona real, Aaron been in pen for a year now and your tellin me your not beatin no one else nah?'

'Nah i ain't', i kissed my teeth

Lawrence pinched my arm 'Stop lying',

I screwed him.

'When did you last go see him?' Marcus said,

'A couple weeks back'

'Is it, he wrote to me a couple days ago', he said 'I gotta make sure that your alrite and behaving yourself'

I laughed, 'Well, i am',
I lied..

The bus stopped in Tooting Broadway and we all got off,

'Anyways bye', I gave Marcus a hug, then hugged Lawrence,

'Where do you think your going?', as he let go, he grabbed hold of my arm.

'Allow it, i need to go get my nails done then go home', I tried pulling away, but he weren't letting go.

'You can do that tomorrow - come, i want you to follow me somewhere quick', he started walking up the road, dragging me along with him. I didn't bother struggle and just walked with him, cause i knew it would end with him banging me or some shit, yeah, he's that kinda guy, he don't care I'm his boys girl cause he's in pen.

'Jodie, Did you have a baby?',

my heart skipped a beat as i looked at Marcus with a confused face,

'what?'

'I heard you was pregnant'

'when?'

'last year - I heard your baby's almost 5 months now'

'Nah i wasn't, who told you?'

'your bredrin, Jessica'

'Ohh, nah i wasn't'

'Ohh alright, I'm gone doe', he low fived Lawrence then hugged me and walked off down one road. Me and Lawrence walked up the next road and went into some house.

The house was tidy yet dirty at the same time and smokey, you could see the smoke fumes floating in the air and the it just smelt of weed. I followed him and the breh who answered the door into the front room, 2 yutes were playing PS3 and 2 chicks were sitting on the floor bagging up weed, they all looked about my age or older, i sat down on the sofa next to one of the yutes,
'Yeah what, can i get an eighth?', Lawrence sat down next to me, but on the arm of the sofa.
He put his arm round my shoulder, i felt kinda awkward, the two chicks kept looking at me aswell which was making it worse.
'Yeah, yeah - what you sayin doe?', the breh who answered the door said,
'Nuttin, was just in Wandsworth with Marcus earlier'
'Oh oh', he turned to the girls, 'I beg you do him an eighth' then looked back at me, 'what is this your chick?'
'Nah, just a bredrin'
'Oh oh, well your bredrin is kinda sexy', he winked at me, he was decent looking but he wasn't my kind of guy,
'Whats your name?'
'Jodie'
'Okay - I think I've seen you about uno'
'Is it, where?'
'Streatham Vale sides - you had a baby innit',
'Oh yeh, I live round there and nah I didn't. What made you think that?'
'Cah you was pregnant when i saw you'
'Oh, naah. That was my twin sister still, we're identical',
'Yeah, this twin sister i ain't never seen before', Lawrence butted into the conversation,
'She probably thinks your gonna move to her or something - cah if she is as boom as Jodie here, i would definatly have to move that', Lawrence low fived him, 'Yuh get me! - If one twin wha be the bredrin, the other can be the fuck' they both started laughing, I didnt find it the slightest bit funny and just watched them while they laughed away.

I ended up chillin there with Lawrence for a good 20 minutes more like I didn't have responsibilities to go deal with and i was starting to get bored aswell. My phone started ringing, it was my mum so i left the room to go answer it.
'Hello'
'Jodie!?', she sounded kinda vex
'Yes mum'
'What are you playing at?, You forget bout Khalil?', she had a slight Jamaican accent 'Yuh lef him here since the other night and nah come back'
'Im guna be home soon mum, please - I just need time for myself'
She kissed her teeth, 'All your time spent is for yourself, all you do is walk street all day and all night - he needs you, your supposed to be bonding with him, what are you doing?'
'Im coming home soon', I was starting to feel frustrated,
'No, you need to come home now!!'
'I can't even do this no more mum, I just want it to go back to how it was',
'Well its your choice, I tried to help you, but you need to get your priorities straight and come for this child noow', she hung up the phone.
I kissed my teeth and looked in the mirror. I started thinking about Khalil and how much of a shit mum i was being, but i just wasn't ready, I missed Aaron and i needed him to help me focus, it wasn't supposed to be like this with me tryna raise a baby on my own, certain time i felt lost without him but angry same time because only he is to blame why he is in pen. I re-fluffed my hair and put on some lipgloss, as i went to go back into the front room i bumped into Lawrence who was coming out.
'Jooodie', he hugged me, but it felt more like he was just squeezing me,
'Mmmm, i love the feel of your breasts against my chest', he squeezed tighter, I pushed him off me and screwed him, he could barely open his eyes, he was that high.
'Them big breasts there, filled with bare milk init', he tapped my left breast so it wobbled, I slapped his hand away and just continued to screw him in silence.
'Come let me show you something quick', he pulled me towards the stairs, I knew what he wanted.
'I need to go home',
'Quickly',
'I can't',
'Come maan', he pulled me harder,
'Noo!', I pulled away from him, he turned round and pushed me up against the wall and slapped me.
'You do what i tell you to do!', he started getting vex 'Cah like i told you last time, you don't want me to go tell Aaron that not only have you fucked me and whoeva else you been spreading your legs to, but that he's got a yute that you ain't even told him about and how your lookin to give it up for adoption aswell, wivout even tellin a man', he started laughing 'thinking about it, you could never be my baby mum, like your peng an that but naaah, your washed - cant even look after your own yute properly. - you think going around gassin up peoples head about you never had a yute will keep him from finding out?',
'Yeh it will, if you don't say nothing', I pushed him away from me, 'And i'll tell him myself'
'Yeah, course you will. We both know you two are done after that and don't try tell me im wrong cah thats MY don, he listens to me. You think cah he's been with you couple years and you try get his name inked in your skin that he gonna be with you forever?' he laughed again 'he will drop you quicker than you drop your frenchies if he finds out what you really been up to while he's been inside - you don't want that now, do you?'
I stared at him in silence for a few minutes, you wouldnt believe that this is the guy i turned to and who helped me through my pregnancy. How is he throwin it all back in my face like this. Half of what he heard wasn't even true, but as usual no one ever believes me. I felt like crying, but held it in.
'So what, are you gonna come jump on it or do you want me to go visit Aaron? ', he looked at me heartlessly.
I didn't answer him and just headed upstairs, it sounds dumb but, i love Aaron that much.

CHAPTER 8 - TROUBLES

I opened my eyes and looked straight up at the ceiling, this sounds weird but by just looking at the ceiling i could tell it wasn't my house. I thought back to the night before and smiled to myself, it was a madness. Me, Darius and a few of our dons went to one house party and lets just say there was bare girls that was just on some kinky shit.
I was thinking about everything that went down last night, I can't remember how i ended up here or who i was here with, I started praying that I never got too drunk and moved some any buttaz or fat chick. I stopped when a light skinned girl walked in the room in just her frenchies and bra, I didn't remember her face but i smiled anyway cah she was a boomting. She had a sexy cola bottle shape, skinny waist, wide hips and big breast. I thanked god ona sly that she was sexy, she looked abit like Kelis did back in 2003, but with black hair and light brown eyes.
'Morning', she smiled at me showing her straight white teeth and sat down on the edge of the bed and handed me a tooth brush,
'What are you tryna say?', I sat up and took the toothbrush from her,
'Nuttin, but i know how you man stay with your morning breath - i knew you was gonna ask anyway', she laughed,
'Say nay', I laughed and got out the bed,
'Down the corridor, bathrooms on your right',
'Safe',
I walked out the room in my boxers and headed for the bathroom.

After i finished brushing my teeth, washed my face and took a piss, i walked back to the bedroom, she was on the phone so i sat down on the bed and waited, she looked and sounded abit frustrated,
'I'm at Tyneesha's - Nah, das long - So why can't you just stay at her yard till mum gets home - arghh your a dickhead, I'm busy - whatever, bye', she locked the phone and looked at me,
'Are you hungry babes?',
'Yeah, kinda'
'Put on your clothes and come downstairs yeah', she took a big t-shirt out the draw and put it on, then walked out the room.
I put on my clothes making sure i still looked swarve, even though i felt kinda wrecked, i brushed my hair with one slick brush that was sitting on the dresser and went downstairs.
I walked into the kitchen, she was sitting at the table munching on some Crunchy Nut, i sat down opposite her and made myself a nice 'man size' bowl of it.
'Sorry, this is all that's here to eat. It ain't even my house'
'Its cool - who's house is it?'
'My cousins, but she's gone America with her man for a couple weeks so I'm house sitting', she smiled,
'I hear that. How old is she?'
'Like 23',
'Oh okay - this might sound rude but man don't even know your name or nothing!'
She laughed 'Was you that mash? - You didn't seem it that much last night, you was on point', she winked at me
'Yeaah, I could never be too mash to fuck' I laughed,
'Yeah, I hear that', she laughed, ' But my names Jodie, I'm 19 and I got a twin', she smiled
'Sweaarr! So there's two of you - Mmmmm', I licked my lips playfully,
She started laughing, 'I get the same reaction every time, that's why i say it. But my twins a boy still', she kept laughing as her phone rang again, she picked up
'Hello - ' she kissed her teeth 'I'm here, your gonna have to come get them - yeah yeah, bye', she locked the phone, 'I swear i hate my brother'
'Why?', i looked at her,
'He's coming to me on some hype tip cah he left his keys at home and he can't get into the house, so he tryna tell me that i should bring mine to him - but you think I'm travelling from Battersea to Mitcham for him, naah', she kissed her teeth
I laughed, 'Peak, is that who you was on the phone to before? - how old is he?'
'Yeah, - its my twin - but we are totally opposite, he is some any hyped yute'
'Mmmmm, I hear that',
'Like he's not even locked out cah he's with some girl at her house, I don't know why he can't stay there till my mum gets home or something', she looked bare frustrated,
'His chick?'
'Nah, not even. Some any girl that's got a man, I told him that she is just fuckin him about but he don't wanna listen. Same way she's using him, he can use her and just stay with her till later',
'Girls are sneaaky', i laughed
'Your tellin me - I told him, whoever the yute is, is gonna fuck him up one day - you can't be fucking other mans girls, that's a boyting'
'Reh, he's fuckin her too?',
'Yeah, she gonna get him into bare shit and even though he annoys me, that's my brother innit, plus I don't like the bitch!',
I started laughing at the way this girl was getting emotional over the situation, she got up and put both our bowls in the sink, i had munched off that cereal quick time.
'So what, do you look like your twin?'
'Nah, we ain't identical - thank fuck - we got the same eye colour tho and when you see us together you can tell we're related',
'Okay - So, what was you doing at that house party last night?'
'I went with couple of my girls after one rave, they know the girl who's party it was', she handed me a glass of Orange juice, 'But hear this, don't think i didn't see my cousin up in there,- thats why i was leavin when you saw me, i know he wulda started chatting shit',
'Peak, what is he older than you?'
'Nah, but he's 20 already so he thinks he has authority'
'Oh oh', I backed the orange juice in one 'I think I've seen you somewhere before, your face is starting to look familiar'
She laughed, 'I got a bait face',
Her phone rang again,
'Hello - don't watch that - yeah yeah, bye', she hung up and signalled for me to follow her.

We were chilling in the front room watching Jeremy Kyle, them daytime TV programmes, the whole time i was imagining what fucking her would be like, i felt kinda pissed that i couldn't even remember us fucking. I was about to make a move on her when my phone started ringing, I looked to see who it was... it was Darius so I answered it.
'Yooo don'
'Raah, your still alive fam?'
'Yeaah!', I laughed,
'Try disappear last night G, what happened?'
'If i could tell you fam i would - man woke up in one boomtings yard tho'
He laughed 'Say nuttin'
'Who you with?'
'I just woke up fam - Jay and Kiera came round here and woke man up'
I kissed my teeth, 'That girl - I'm gonna punch her up one day',
'I heard how you locked it, you never told me'
'Yeah, couple days ago - I didn't even lock it, i told her when she ready to be serious, holla'
'Ite, say nuttin - Ima dial you in'
'Yeah yeah, bless', I locked the phone then checked the time, it was 2.30pm, my belly started bubbling, i really need to take a shit
'I gunna bounce now yeh, i need to hold a fresh and this is gunna sound crud but i really need to buss a shit',
She started laughing 'Alrite babes - give me your number, i will call you later'
She took out her phone and i put in my number den gave it back to her.
I dialled in my cab man and he came in 15 minutes, I hugged the chick and bopped out the yard. I flicked up my hood as i see Kiera drive past the house, i wonder what this bitch is doing round here.

CHAPTER 7 - KIERA

My phone alarm woke me up the next morning, i kissed my teeth and searched for my phone under my pillow, my alarm was meant to be turned off. I looked at the time, it was 9am, i went to get up but had to lie straight back down. I had the worst hangover, my head was pounding and felt like i was about to throw up. I rolled over to see Troubles fast asleep next to me, he looked cute. I thought of how sexy he was and how lucky i was to have a man like him.
I slowly dragged myself out of the bed and walked into the bathroom, i couldn't even remember half of what happened last night, I looked in the mirror and noticed my face, i had the biggest bruise on my cheek under my eye, it took up like half my cheek. I stared at myself in the mirror for a couple minutes, i was slightly baffled of how i got it. I started thinking hard..
The memory of me ramping with Jermaine, breakin Darius' bed, Troubles scuffing Jermaine, me getting pushed over, seeing Jermaine fuckin that chick and Troubles getting vex and hitting me all came back to mind. A random tear rolled down my cheek as the image of Troubles hitting me kept replaying in my head.
My head started spinning so i splashed my face with water, it didn't help and i just looked wounded. I ran my fingers through the back of my hair, it hurt so i started feelin my head, i felt a little lump in the back of my head, i never noticed it last night, i must have got it from when Jermaine pushed me over.
I went toilet then went back into my room and climbed back into bed, i looked at Troubles while he continued to sleep, i secretly felt like suffocating him with my pillow.

*******
I woke up again to the sound of my phone ringing, i picked up my phone and looked at it, it was Troubles, i looked to where i thought he was lying next to me, but he wasn't, there was a small box with ribbon wrapped round it there instead, i rolled my eyes and answered the phone;
'Hello'
'Yo babes - are you still sleeping?'
'Well, you kinda woke me up', i looked over at my clock, it was 3.15pm.
'Oh sorry babes, you feeling alrite though?'
'Not really, im fucked - i got a hangover', i picked up the box and looked at it, it had a note on it saying 'Sorry',
'I'm coming back to look after you yeah'
'Okay - whats with the present? for me yeah?'
'Of course babes, i just wanted to show you I'm sorry for yesterday - you got me vex, but i shouldn't have hit you', he sounded genuinely sorry,
'Sooo you think giving me some any present is gonna make it alrite?', i had a angry tone to my voice,
'Babes, i said I'm sorry'
'Sorry don't mean shit, I know you see my face this morning, you think sorry is gonna make this bruise on my face go away?' I was getting vex,
'Yuh know what - i know nuff man that wouldn't hesitate to punch you up for the way you was movin yesterday. You count yourself lucky I only gave you a little slap - and don't even use the excuse that you was drunk, cah if that's how you go on, then you need to fix up!'
I was silent for a minute, I was shocked at the way he was talking to me, usually i was the one in control..
'Only a little slap?' i shouted, '- You bruised up my fuckin face!'
'And i said sorry, i even went out and spent my money on you, bought you something real expensive, even though up to now ii ain't heard a sorry from you for the way you been acting',
'What so is that gonna be your new thing, hit me and then buy me something real expensive?',
'Carry on with your wicked talk - I'll come back to your yard and tump you in your mouth now if that's what you really want', he started getting vex,
'Yeah, well I'm here waiting - don't forget my Gucci watch', i said sarcastically
He kissed his teeth,
'I swear if i didn't love you...' he sighed, 'babes I'm sorry - but try understand how mad you get me when your getting all up close and personal with Jermaine like i ain't your man, like i ain't got no feelings - you know I'd do everything and anything for you, but your just boyin me off, making me look like some dickhead yute'
i was silent for a minute then locked the phone, i didn't want to talk anymore.
I picked up the present he'd left on the bed and opened it, it was a gold charm bracelet, i looked at it for a minute then put it back in the box and put the box on the side table and headed downstairs to make some tea.

I walked into the kitchen, Jade was in there, i didn't even know she was at home. She looked at me,
'What happened to your face!?', she stopped what she was doing,
'Does it really look that bad?'
'Babes, how did you manage to get that?',
'Trubz - he erm.. - he got vex with me last night', i turned on the kettle,
she gave me a confused but serious look 'he got vex with you?'
'Yeah - '
'Are you being serious!? - babes, you have seen your face right?'
'Course',
She stood there staring at me while i continued to make my tea, she was kinda making me feel awkward,
'I beg you stop staring at me please, your just making it worse'
'Sorry - I'm just shocked, like he came back here earlier and he was acting like everything was cool with you two-', she paused for a minute '-Ohhh, so that's why he bought you that present'
'Mmmmm', I walked towards the kitchen window and looked out to see what the weather was saying, the empty space outside my house caught my eye, i stared at it and took a deep breath to contain my anger,
'Erm Jade... where the fuck is my car?', i continued to stare at the space where my car was supposed to be,
'Troubles has it - i thought you knew',
I took another deep breath, counted to five then walked out the kitchen and back to my room.
I picked up my Blackberry and checked the weather temperature on BBC website, it said it was going to be 26 degrees.
I took out my matching Adidas shorts and tank top, it was white with blue stripes, some white long socks and blue and white underwear. I picked up my phone and dialled in Troubles number;
'Yo'
'Where are you?', i said trying to keep calm,
'I'm about - whats wrong?',
I was silent for a minute while i tried listening to his background noise, I could hear music playing and girls voices, I took a deep breath,
'Who are you with?'
'Just a couple of my dons - babes, I'm driving so I'm gonna call you back'
'You didn't even ask if you could take my car -',
he locked the phone before i could even finish talking, the anger that was building up, i thought my head was going to explode. My phone started ringing, it was Jermaine;
'What!?',
'Rudeness, no hello or nothing - Is it that time of the month?',
'Shut up, what do you want?'
'Wanted to see what you was on - but i think I've changed my mind'
i kissed my teeth 'I got a coco on the back of my head yuh know'
'What from last night? - sorry, you want me to come kiss it better?',
'Mmmmm, you could do still',
'Where's your superman at?', he laughed
'Out'
'Mmmm, okay okay - I'm at Darius' fixing up his new bed - secretly you should be here helping'
'Nah, I'll pass on that'
'Mmmmm, anyways when I'm done ima come over - i got a nice fat head to bun with you'
'Alrite, when your ready dial me'
'ite, say nufin', he locked the phone.
I felt that slight bit happier after talking to him, i started thinking about how he always keeps me happy.

*******

Me, Jade, Jermaine and his bredrin Daryl was chillin in the front room watching Desperate housewives. I passed Daryl the zoot and took a sip of the Malibu and Lemonade i was drinking, i had that nice feeling, cloud surfing, I was waved.
Daryl was sitting on the floor between my legs, i was taking out his cornrows, he had the softest hair.
'You got really nice hair you know', i ran my fingers through his half of hair i had already taken out,
'Thanks'
'Jade, don't you think he's sexy?', i looked at her, she looked at me surprised,
'Yeah, i guess so', she said
'Nah, he IS sexy - he got nice hair, nice eyes, cute smile, nice chocolate complexion-', my phone started ringing, i passed it to Jermaine to answer '- good dress sense - how old are you again?', i carried on taking out his hair,
'20' he said,
'Mmmm, you even got a sexy voice - didn't know you was older than Jay, I'm gonna be 21 in two months', I smiled to myself, then i remembered i gave Jermaine the phone to answer, i mouthed to him to put the phone on loudspeaker,
'- I'm tellin you fam, i will body you. Carry on'
'Body who? Your a pussy!'
'Why you always talking shit - I'm on my way to you now g - let me show you how much of a pussy i am',
'from when you can put your hands on your wifey, your a pussy - and your so much of a pussyhole, your wife keeps coming to me! - My dick makes her scream bludy nora', Jermaine started laughing
I took the phone out his hand and took it off loudspeaker,
'Babes, where are you?'
'On my way to you - Im gona fuckin' body him', he sounded vex
'Babes, please - dead it'
He kissed his teeth 'I love how your always protecting that yute'
'I think you both need to dead the hype'
'So what - your tellin everyone i slapped you up yeah',
'I don't even have to tell, my face talks for it self'
'Nuff said, I'll be back in an hour but when i get there, that little prick better be gone or i will fuck him up'
'Okay, bye', I locked the phone before he could say anything else, i didnt want to hear the hype.

*******
I looked at the time on my phone, it was 12am. Daryl was on Jades lappy, Me, Jade and Jermaine was flicking through the music channels, Jade stopped on one of Jason Derulo's videos,
'This Jason Derulo guy is annoying - like who fuck is he?', I looked at Jade,
'for real', she laughed and changed the channel and left it on Beyonce's video phone video, the door knocked, i got up and answered it.
'Hii'
Troubles walked in and kissed me on the cheek, 'You alright yeah?'
'Yeah'
'So what, did you like the present?'
'Oh yeah i did, thanks' i gave him a hug and walked into the front room, he followed.
He screwed me when he noticed Jermaine,
'Wots gud Jade?', he waved at her then looked at me 'let me talk to you quickly',
he walked back out the room and i followed him upstairs and into my bedroom,
'Why is he here?' he screwed me,
'Him and his bredrin came to chill with me and jade'
'Why?'
'Because he did'
he kissed his teeth, 'When are they leaving?'
'I don't know'
'Tell them to leave now'
'why?'
'Cah i don't want Jermaine here', he started getting vex
'He only come here to chill with me for a bit and bun zoot'
'I don't care, i dun told you already that i don't want you talking to him, but you continue to just ignore me'
'But who are you to tell me who i can talk to, you don't own me'
'ite, say nothing. But can you tell them to leave'
'No, cant you just chill, be humble babes', i hugged him,
'Can you go tell them to leave', he pushed me towards to bedroom door,
'I'm not telling them to leave, they're with Jade'.
'Can you stay up here with me then'
'Allow it babes, can't you just come downstairs'
'Listen, i do not want to be around that yute, i will fuck him up - what you'd rather chill with him then me!?'
'Its not even that, but like-'
he cut me off 'you'd rather chill with him than me'
'Same way you'd rather chill with whatever chicks you was with earlier, then come look after me like you said you would', i started gettin angry,
'When was i with chicks?'
'when i called you - i did hear them in the background. Your there driving some any chicks around in my car, then you wanna come here and chat shit to me about Jermaine!?'
He laughed, 'Fuck it, I'm done. do what your doing', he pushed me out the way and walked out the room,
'What you mean by that', I followed him down the stairs, 'Dwayne, I'm talking to you',
'I said do what your doing - i can't be bothered with you no more'
'So what are you saying, its over?',
'If thats what you want - your choice', he took my car keys out his pocket and handed them to me, 'So when your ready to be serious with me, call me'
He opened the front door, then turned back and kissed my forehead, it felt warm and his lips were nice and soft. I stood there in silence as he walked out and closed the door behind him. A random tear rolled down my cheek.
