Living with him

We were about 20 minutes away, it was very quiet. I turned on the radio to listen to music surprisingly my song came on, u me love by jahmiel. I sang the song like I was the only one left in the whole universe.

So you're a Caribbean queen? He asked smiling hearing me singing word for word. Yh I said with a questioning face looking at him. I've only heard Jamaicans singing that song without messing up. Oh I said starting to sing back the song.so you're Jamaican? Si. Interesting I've never dated a Jamaican before; he said smiling with a wide grin. So what are you doing here? He said as he took a quick look at me and then back on the road. I migrated after my parents and brother died to live with my uncle in Canada three years ago. Sorry about your parents, I didn't know. And I didn't know they have gangs in the USA either, why did you choose this life? I said changing the topic.

We can't just choose this life it's in our blood! He said. I really touch a nerve didn't meant to do that I said to myself. We arrived at my house. I got out of the car and walk to the door to realize I didn't have my bag with me. I turned around and headed back to the car to see josh laughing away.

Where's my bag? I asked in a tired tone. Here he said as he took my bag from off the backseat and handed it to me. You coming inside? I asked as I searched my bag for the key. No he said as he took up his phone and checked the time. Ok I'll try not to take long I said as I finally got a hold of my key. I took out the key and closed my bag; I opened the car door and placed it on the back seat. I walked to the house door and opened it. I took out the key out of the lock and placed it in my pocket. I ran to the kitchen trying to hurry, I took out an extra-large chocolate and a box of chocolate cupcakes and donuts out of the fridge. I went to the cupboard and took out a container contain chocolate cookies. I placed all the food items in a bag and placed it on the dining room table. As I looked out the window I saw josh exiting the car and locking it and then heading this way.

I walked slowly up the steps with no intention of doing anything. I entered my room feeling sad as I leaped unto my bed and burst into tears. I was about to run out the door when I bumped into josh. He wrapped his arms around me as I continued to cry. I laid my head on his chest and a memory of my parents flashed in front of my eyes again, I grabbed his shirt and held it tight as I cried harder. About 5-10 minutes later I stopped crying.

I let go of his shirt and get out of his arms and head to the bathroom to wash my face. I spent almost an hour in there looking at myself reflecting on my family. I opened the door and head to my room to see josh sitting on my bed with his shirt off and finish packing my bags. I stared at him admiring his body. What? He said with a questioning face. I folded my arms and said why don't you have on your shirt? It is hot in here and I didn't know how long you were going to be in there for, he said as he stand up causing me to stare even more at his abs. You have a point I said as I take a look at a photo of my mom on my dresser. She had long maroon hair with red eyes and the most beautiful smile just as I remembered. You ready to go? He said taking his red body shirt off the bed and putting it back on. What's wrong with this boy and the color red! I thought to myself. I shook my head and said yea you already packed my bags so why wouldn't I be? He took up the bags and we headed downstairs.

We were about to exist the front door when i remembered about my desserts I packed earlier. I stopped in my tracks and called out to josh and said, Hey am going to go to the kitchen, I'll meet you at the car. He kissed me on my forehead and replied ok and don't take long it's already 5oclock. I rushed to the kitchen causing me to almost fall. I took up the bag off the counter and I ran out the front door. I gently closed the door and took out my key and closed it.

I walked to the car and place the pastries in the back. (Ring, ring) my phone is ringing. I wonder who is calling me at this time of the day I said as I took out my phone out of my pocket. Oh its uncle, I wonder why he's calling I wondered out loud as I answered the phone. Hey uncle, what's up? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE SICK, he shouted as i tried to regain my sense of hearing. Calm down, I said I a calm tone, I am not. Yes you are, he said calmly. Am not, I said wondering how he knew. From you're in the hospital for a few days you are and WHY DDNT YOU TELL ME YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND? I was going to- WAIT HOWDID YOU KNOW? I said shouting back at him. Idk, bye sweetie. He hangs up the phone. I enter into the car.

What was that about? He asked with a guilty look on his face. Nothing really, someone told my uncle that I am sick and I have a boyfriend, I said wondering who told him. Ready to go? He asked starting the car. Yh lets go I said looking at my house as we drove away. How could he have known, did josh open my phone with my fingerprint and call him or did the hospital call him? Was all I kept thinking about.
