Amari pickup Cals from the hospital and they switched seats. Even though she was greeted with  the care she was recently struggling to get from him; she felt as if she wasn't really interested.

She kept most of the times and Cals didn't seems to mind.

When they got home, she was lift off her feet in awe; the dining table was lit. It was beautiful.

The electric light was switched off and candles were  on the table. Their food was shared and covered, a bottle of red wine was there with champagne glass. It was a beautiful setting.

He assisted her by removing her jacket and opened the seat so she could sit. She almost wept at his gentleness.

"What's all of this for?" She asked.

"To show you that I appreciate you," He has responded.

They cleaned the mess, put away the unfinished candles and wash the plates together. It felt like old times to her, but she couldn't help but feel a void inside.

It was going as best as it could have under the circumstances, until Cals attempted to kiss her when they went to bed.

He circles his arm around her waist and she pulls away from him.

"Am not in the mood, stop," She mumbled.

"Babe," He mumbled.

She got off the bed in a rush and covered her self.

"What the fuck? Ooooooh so a next man yuh have a -" Before he could finish, a slap was laid across his cheek.

She dragged the sheet off him and grabs a pillow.

"Amari!" He shouts as he tried to follow her from the room. She was furious and hurting. It hits her that she slaps him. She'd slaps him because he was almost telling the truth and  she could barely hold herself together.

"Amari!" He tries to stops her. She runs down the stairs and he follows her.

She went into the kitchen and got the remaining wine  from a cabinet.

"Babe, mi Neva mi mean fi-"

"Just stop call mi babe. Stop already," She pushes him out of the way and walked back up the stairs.

He followed behind of her. "Wha?" He asked. "Oyi! Mi a talk a to yuh ino my girl, yuh cah ina man place and mi -"

"Your place? I ain't in your damn place, I pay fucking rent here,  but I can fucking leave. You know what? Am gonna fucking leave."

She stood at the top of the stairs to glare at him.

"Weh yuh a go ina afta one in a di night? Ano like yuh can get taxi, talking bout taxi weh di fuck yuh car deh Amari?"

His voice was becoming annoying to her and she could hear Dominic's in her head, scolding her.

"I have my car somewhere, it's not important though," She said. (It was the replacement Dominco arranged for her.)

She felt foolish standing there when she had  the urge to leave.

"Yuh know wah fuck it! A only when woman a fuck pan man Dem gwaan so. Mi cah even kiss yuh and yuh gwaan like mi fucking woman."

"Yuh see mi fuck nobody? Mr Renard ? Did you?" It hurts every Cells in her at his accusations. She have been nothing but loyal and in this moment she felt as if she's wasted her time.

"I should have been a fuckin hoe," She said and slammed the guest room  door in his face.

"And yuh come ina yah a slam man bloodclaat door, mi sorry to pussyclaat seh mi even fucking try be bloodclaat nice caz a dis mi get."

She opens the door and shouts." So you think arranging dinner is in payment for some pussy? Well not this pussy, go an get some other pussy then! I been nothing but nice to you, Cals, nothing but nice because I love you. I fucking love you and this is what I get? Love ain't doing shit Fuh me."

She got out off the guest room and walked past him. Throwing down the wine bottle, it cracked on the floor. She went into their bedroom and  started packing a few things into a small suitcase.

"Babe, come on, babe," he corners her. Years ago that could have melted her, but not this time. Then, was no close to now.

He grabs at her arm, but she shrugs him off.

"I just need some time alone. Please just give me time," Her voice trembles.

"Babe."

She removes her nightgown and pulls on a black fine strap dress. "You heard me, I need space."

"Are we breaking up?" He asked, disappointment could be heard in his voice and she almost caved, but she stood her ground.

"No, I just need space, we both do."

He sat on the bed and rubbed his head. "Let me drop you off."

"No, it's fine, I'll call Zendi to come and get me."

"It's late."

"It doesn't matter how late it is. She will come and get me," If she's isn't sure of anything; then she's sure of Zendi's loyalty.

Ever since she was a kid; Her life has been a lot of movings. She never thought she would move out of this house twice. She wanted it to be her safe ground, but it never felt like it. She was just living life on its flow. Her friends had plans to go back to Altana, Canda, and Brooklyn.

They had plans before she came back to Jamaica and settled down with Cals, unfortunately those plans got cancelled. They didn't want Paris to feel uproot every now and then.

As she steps out of the house, she felt as those times have neared. It's time for her to start traveling again. She never wanted to co-parent, they both wanted a child even though Paris wasn't planned but it had stopped her form truly living.

"Dear God, how can I go about this with my daughter in the midst?" She asked, she felt trapped as she waited for Zendi to answer the phone.

"Ayo, what's up? "

"Escape," her voice cracks.

Rustling could be heard in the background, and she heard the opening of doors and keys. A slide could be heard as the Garage at Zendi's lifted.

"Where?"

"Cals's."

"Am on my way."

The cold air bit into her skin and she hugs herself. She waited patiently on Zendi, know Zendi is going to be there In a jifffy because she's fast driver.

Glancing back at the house that she turned into a home, it felt like saying goodbye. It's a heart wrenching feeling, but sometimes it's best people leave things behind. Her spirit as long left Cals but her body remained with him.

When he asked if they were breaking up, she couldn't say yes, not with Paris in her mind.

"Dear God," She called on the universe. The creator. She's never been a Christian but she feels as if she's called onto her refuge in times of trouble and despair.

Sometimes she feels as if, she's half devil because of the friends and links her friends keep, especially Zendi.

The scent of smoke hits her nostrils as Zendi skids the car next to her.

"What the fuck is going on?" Zendi asked, stepping out of the G wagon and spotting her suitcase. She left the engine running and walked up to Amari.

Zendi made an attempt to open the gate, but Amari stops her.

"No, we are not going back in there."

"Di fuck - watch, Amma tell Nico."

"No, don't do that, just get me out of here."

"If I don't go in there now, Amma call Nico, and Nico will leave out and get here in the morning."

"It's not nessacary to do any of those," Amari said.

Zendi assisted her in throwing the suitcase in the back seats, before attempting to open the gate again.

Glancing around the streets, Amari pushes Zendi, freeting that they'll cause a scene. "Zendi let's go."

"Real talk , I ain't even wanaa say this but you wasted your damn  time on a  fuckin' idiot. I wanted this shit  to work so I turned a blind eye to this mother fucker. Lemme  go in there and fuck him up, please. You know what? Nah Nevermind, I know exactly what I'm gonna do."

Amari follows an angry Zendi and strapped her seatbelt on, "Do what? What are you going to do?"

"Nevermind, never mind it. Did he hit you?" She asked

"Am fine, put yuh seatbelt on, did you fly here?"

Zendi wasn't the type to wear seatbelt yet still her feet lives on the gas pedal. She listened to Amari, reversed and drove off.

"Amma need you to stop at my place."

They haven't been to Amari's place in years. Amari's parents got people checking in on it and keeping it clean. Amari would clean it every month.

It's a place where they normal stay when they all got back from Atlanta. Amari was the main reason why they all settled in Jamaica. It was planned since she had a kid and Cals said it would be easier raising the child together.

"You ain't go be lonely over there?"

"It's okay. Paris would get to know the place."

It's a place that's a little over an hour drive away from Cals. Cals knows about it, but he had never visited, which means he doesn't know exactly where it is. It's in a  Kingston community. It was her first achievement in life, with the help of her father, She bought the house and she's sure it would be a home. A better home than the one she left behind. She wouldn't have to pay rent anymore. She knew that The house she left behind a elder man overseas owns it and that they pay rents for it, 'Atleast that would come off my hands,' She thought.

"So you guys done now?"

"No, am just taking a break."

"Oh God," Zendi said, slowing down on the highway. She dramatically places her head on the steering wheel.

"End it already and date Mr hot shot."

"And who's that?" Her voice squeaked.

"Come on, when were you going to tell me? Mr Romano is the person you were talking about?"

Amari swallowed and shift uncomfortable in her seat.

She then proceed to tell Zendi everything that happens except the part where she feels they had a moment, except the part where he flirted with her. Zendi then shared that she usually gets her drugs from Mr Romano's men and that they're two dangerous brothers.

"So you got a new car now? Brie is go be so excited," Zendi turns the car and pulled to her house. " I didn't know you still got the shop there."

"Mrs Green was selling in it, am sure she'll be back tomorrow. Is that all you have to say about it? Am basically wanted by the other one."

The car pulls up into the yard and she silenced the engine.

"Mhmmm. You go be alright. Mr Romano will deal with it am sure. There's something else, Hum, Nico is looking into Cals, I think you should stay away from him for now. He isn't who he showed us," Zendi said, looking through the rearview mirror.

"What? What are you talking about? And what are you looking at?"

"We got company," Zendi whispered, sliding down in the seat.
