For the hundredth time since getting home this morning, I twist and turn in bed — one side to the other. Dealing with hangover mixed with constant flashbacks of her.
All of which, just a day ago, yuh wouldn't cetch me caught up on. But someone how, with Xavier being back, it already have me ah indulge in activities weh against the norm for me.
"Shit!" My head spins. I massage both side of my temple. My back resting against the headboard.
It took one night! One night fhi hang round Xavier and this a the outcome. Paired with wah mount a calls from.....

Like she a time me. Or she have cameras connected in here weh me nuh know bout.
Nuh put it pass har.
"Amhir Kingston?"
One foot after the other, bearing the worst headache to man, I enter the bathroom. Phone resting on the counter as I take a good look at myself.
The bad feeling? Unbearable.

As expected, she warns me "Nuh make him lead yuh down the wrong path Kingston. A begging you kindly."
Mid washing my face, I tell her "nuh man cyah make me do wah me nuh want. Not even Xavier. Anything me do while round him, a my own choice."
"Suh please, ease off a the condemnation. The man just a live" I add, taking the towel to wipe my face.
"So you wanted to miss dinner? And what about this week vacation time you put in. Your calendar is free from business meetings. I don't understand."
