Chapter 5

*Back at Sasha's House*

"Make yourself at home, Allen." Said Sasha's Mom.

Her mother started to boast about him saying: "Allen is an University graduate, He  has a clean record and his parents raised him well, they're also a friend of mine, very good family."

*Allen smiled at her *

He then walked over to Sasha and try to  hug her but she pushed him off and ran upstairs. Velma chased after her.

" This wasn't really a good idea enuh but it's for the best I guess."Said Mr.Harrington . "I just don't want to see my daughter with just anybody."He said to his wife.

Sasha was angry, however Velma came into  her room   to talk to her.

"I think you should come clean to them Sash."Said Velma.

"Are you crazy? They will flip, I can't do that." replied Sasha.

"It's for the best, yuh have to tell them." Said Velma.

Meanwhile  Reece went to  fill his bottles at the pipe stand above his street.

He was alone there, everybody on the street had gotten their pales, bottle and pans filled already.

Tracy saw him and walked up to him. She reached for a stone and threw it and it slapped him in the back.

He turned around and saw that it was Tracy.

"Ouch! Weh dat fah?!" He asked.

"Mi here seh ya go a di girl yaad a night time!!!!!" Tracy yelled.

"That's why yuh did a defend har, all a long!" She said.

"If yuh never wanttt me, you could've just say that!!!!." She continued

"How yuh know that?! Yah watch mi?!" Asked Reece.

"Oh please, a ghetto yuh live inna, everybody know yuh business!" She exaggerated.

"Well that is none of their business nor yours " He said.

"Stop yuh noise! And Shut up! Bout ya twang, since when that was your thing?" She responded, "Sam did right, she really a run yuh head". She said in at a low tone.

"Oooohh, it all make sense now! So you and Sam link up fi chat mi behind mi back!" He said.

"Yuh switch up fuss, memba that! And memba weh yuh come from and who did deh deh fi yuh!" She argued while pointing at his chest.

"Me?! never switch up! Ever! " He shouted.

"Mi done wid yuh foolishness, just nuh call mi, nuh text mi, just avoid mi." She ended.

The neighbors were cracking their windows open to see what was going on, others who were outside moved discreetly towards the argument.

She walked over to the pipe stand, grabbed one of  his bottles.

*Splash, Splash, Splash *

He just stood there damped.

He filled  the  bottles then went home to dry himself off.

*Sunset approached*

Sasha's parents walked in the room to talk to her.

"You not gonna go downstairs to get familiar with your soon-to-be husband dear?" Asked Mrs. Harrington as she lifted Sasha's chin up high.

"We want what's best for you ,people are cruel and dangerous out there, we don't want you to fraternize with those people."Said Mr.Harrington.

"Yes I agree, it's best that we choose for you, plus he's a sweet guy, just wished you had met him sooner." Said Mrs.Harrington .

Sasha was quiet as a mouse. She didn't even respond, not like she could've.

"Anyways meet us downstairs in a few for dinner, we are celebrating !"Mrs.Harrington  said  excitedly as she danced her way out of Sasha's room humming with her husband.

She wasn't ready for any of this, but she spent all her life pleasing her parents so therefore why stop now.

Later that day  Reece went to confront Sam. He was dressed in a marina and ripped Jeans-shorts  and Slippers with his handkerchief tied to his head.

Sam was seen in the park throwing stones at the birds.

Reece walked up to him. Sam turned around immediately.

"Yo bro, how ya creep up pon man suh? Ya dealid?" Sam asked.

"So you n' Tracy a chat mi now, wah kinda style that?" Asked Reece.

"Mi seh weh me affi seh, mi realize ya move different since yuh start talk to that girl" said Sam.

"Informa bwoy a chat yuh chat too much" said Reece as he screwed his face and took a step back and turned around.

Reece wasn't a fighter as opposed to Sam who did taekwondo. Reece wasn't scared regardless.

Informa?! Informa?! .....[while hitting hisself on the chest]Never that  mouthy seh when mi knock it di other day fool!!!! Gyal  Clown!" He yelled.

Reece looked up at him.

His head was vibrating as if he was about to blow up.

He turned back around immediately and stepped towards Sam.

"Defend that nuh.... fool!" Said Sam.

At this moment in time, the children at the park were looking at them arguing.

Some of the parents were leaving with their children to get back inside before the situation got worse.

They had no intention of getting in between to stop them.

Reece stooped  down to collect a handful of sand.

Then he raised his hand  attempting to throw it in Sam's face.

"Bet?!"   Reece threatened.

"Anuh dat! Pus- yo try it, if yuh bad! and see, bet!!!!! bett!!!" Sam threatened.

"Aye!!!!" Shouted Tracy as she ran to try and part them before they got physical.

"Yo! Come get yo bwoy,  him a move belgerent!" Yelled Sam angrily.

"No- umm, sir, di word is Belligerent [slapped her forehead] please don't use the word if yuh don't know how fi pronounce it" Said Tracy.

Reece dropped the gravel. Then turned to Tracy.

"A true?" Reece asked Tracy.

Tracy stood there in confusion.

"A True?! bout you and him! A true?!  Asked Reece again.

"Yes, what's the problem? Jealous? Feelings hurt?" She asked. "Good that is how it suppose to be, don't  question me about mi personal life! Maybe yuh need fi mek him teach yuh a thing or two ! She argued.

"Nuh need nuh man fi teach mi nothing, and that good, atleast yah go have sumn inna yuh mouth, other than mi name and business." Reece responded.

"You know what  move! I'm good! Mi nuh need none a unuh , you guys don't add any value to my life, I don't need you, keep doing what you do best, entertaining those sluts!" She ended and walked off and threw up the peace sign.

Reece walked away once again without looking back he headed home. He couldn't believe his own friend would turn on him like that, especially with his ex.

His mom and brother was home that evening and she made dinner, but he wasn't hungry. He didn't even tell them what took place.

All he could do was think about all that  was said to him.

When he checked his phone,  he saw 20 missed calls from Sasha.

He called her.

Sasha picked  up the phone.

"Heyyyy."Said Sasha.

"It's been a minute." Said Reece.

"Yup, so you hand fun with me the other day right?" She asked in a gentle tone as she touched herself.

"Of course! I might swing by again and release some steam."Reece replied.

*Sasha giggled*

"Oh no no my parents are here." She said "and speaking of that, they want me to get married to this guy, I have no interest in."She informed.

"Whaaaat? Nooo Why? I'm coming up there ." Reece exclaimed.

This was too much for him, first Tracy, now this? He was furious.

"No it's too risky,  don't worry,  we'll see each other sooner than later, love you."Said Sasha.

Reece smiled.

"Ye, luv yuh too" Reece answered.

*There was a sudden knock on  Sasha's door*

"I'll call you back." Said Sasha.

*Call ended*

"Who is it?" She asked.

"It's Allen, love." He said "Get ready for dinner." He commanded.

She put on  an orange dress  that was lengthy and baggy. She found it in her closet. She hated it, it was her first time wearing it. She didn't even bother to comb her hair.

While stepping out of her room  she over heard her mom and Allen talking. Sasha went  towards the door.

"Uhh yes! Yes!" Mrs. Harrington exclaimed. "Is it in properly yet?"She asked Allen.

"Not quite it's too big, I'm trying to get the tip inside.....ahhh!"Allen responded. You could hear the strain in his voice.

"Ok, lemme widen it a little more for you,now try to get it up, then give it to me, come on you can do it" She demanded.

The door was barely open, she stood about six feet from  the door, scared to go even closer, but she was still eavesdropping.

"Yes ahhh put it up my  wall now" She continued.

"Hold on, I'm trying, ahh it's finally up." He responded.

"Oh good boy." Mrs. Harrington responded to Allen.

*Clap! Clap! Clap! *

"Ahh at last, whew." Allen said with relief.

*Splash*

"Whoops! Omg! Look! You got me wet." Mrs. Harrington. "Quick pass me the towel ! ." She commanded.

"Ahh I'm coming....." He responded.

"Wait stop sto-...." Mrs.Harrington said.

Sasha couldn't take it anymore.

*Door cracked wide open *

"What are you guys doing ?!"Asked Sasha in a nerve wracking tone.
