Chapter 14: Chapter Fourteen

The term finally comes to an end and we can officially take our Christmas break.

I take a look at my grades so far.

Top of my classes as always.

Back a di class but I still come out on top.

I drive to the shipping company to pick up all my packages that I bought specifically for this moment.

I know I would need some happy hormones in my life to add to the lack of school for the next three weeks.

I love retail therapy. Shopping literally makes me happy in a way that words can't explain which is why even though I'm fortunate enough to not have to work and still get everything I want I still do because it feels even better when I know that it's my own.

After picking up my packages I see an incoming call.

Jordan.

"Hi."

"Hey," He responds. "I didn't see you at school today."

I was avoiding him.

His actions are always beyond weird to me so I know that sometimes I have to avoid him- like today.

"Yeah, I don't know why." I shrug my shoulders even though he can't see me.

"That's alright though. How are your grades so far? It's our final year so-"

I cut him off before he goes further. "My grades are awesome actually. Top of my classes and a straight A profile."

I smile to myself.

I'm a slut for many things but academic validation is one of the greatest things. Since a very young age, I've always been excellent in my studies and praised for it.

"Oh, that- that's great!" He laughs a little.

I even like when my classmates are happy for me because I am always happy for them so I feel warm on the inside from Jordan's validation.

"Yeah, it is. How are yours?"

He does a small, awkward laugh which from experience I know is followed by an awkward neck scratch.

"Last year you know? I gotta buckle down but I'll be fine."

I nod slowly then realize he can't see me. "Yeah, you just gotta do what you gotta do."

He takes a deep breath. "Wah yuh seh a gwaan fi di break though?"

"No plans so far." I mumble.

No one's asked me to do anything so far and I haven't tried making plans either. So far it's a go with the flow kind of break.

"Suh yuh nuh wah touch a party later?"

Depends..

"Check mi back later." I simply say and he gives a verbal head nod.

"Alright then, later Jade." He hangs up the phone after kissing teeth and I get to resume my music and finish my drive in peace to my house.

I won't let Jordan's bad attitude affect me because he has no reason to act like this.

When I get home I'm greeted by my baby.

"Hi Mimi." I stoop down and rub her head causing her to lick my hand.

I play with her a little more then I hear my mother clear her throat.

"Hi mommy." I stand up to face her to which she brings me into a big hug with a smile.

"Girl, how are the grades?" She asks after releasing me from the hug.

I pull my phone out to show her the grades to which she slowly nods and smiles. "That's good and I expect nothing less from you."

My mother is of a thicker build with slightly darker skin than mine. She was gifted with perfectly white and straight teeth that she always flashes as someone who loves to laugh and smile once she's gotten rid of the resting bitch face. She has mid-back length relaxed hair that she normally puts up in a sleek ponytail or bun to take on her lawyer tasks.

I see my father peek behind her and once his eyes meet mine he smiles as well.

My father is even darker than my mother with a slim build. He's bald and always smiling. He's a popular businessman in Montego Bay and overall Jamaica.

"Hi daddy."

"Hi princess." He ruffles my hair. "I see that you're doing well in school as expected."

"I'm happy about it."

He nods slowly. "Any plans for the break?"

I shake my head. "So far, no but I am always open to surprise dates." I jokingly wink at him.

His face is immediately taken over by a wide smile. "Aw, you know I love taking my princess on dates- especially surprise ones."

"I know you'll always be a daddy's girl but we can do something together sometimes too." My mother fakes a pout.

My father immediately grabs her by her ass and picks her up to pepper her entire body with kisses, smiling against her skin.

"You know that you're both my girls."

I playfully roll my eyes and walk past my parents and straight to my room to shower and take a nap.

I wake up from my nap to a message from my mother.

We're going out to dinner at 7 princess.

I check the time.

It's almost 5.

I use the less than two hours that I have to get ready. I do my makeup lightly and a swoop ponytail on my braids. I decide to wear a white ruched dress with spaghetti straps with my ripped denim jacket to throw over it and pair it with my white stilettos with gold heels but bringing my flat, white Tory Burch slippers just in case. I also take up my white Telfar bag.

"Jade!" My mother calls.

I check the time.

Shit it's 7:30

She will leave me enuh.

I put in huge, gold hoops and touch up my lip gloss quickly before grabbing my gold and white glasses dashing downstairs to see that they already left the house and are in the black X6 waiting on me.

I blink through my glasses to see better and my vision immediately clears to my mother pushing past my father and aggressively pressing down on the horn for me to hurry up.

I jump in the back of the car and I'm greeted by my mother kissing her teeth repeatedly.

"Imagine.."

hey bookies 💕 i introduced jade's parents in this chapter. i understand that it's a first impression but how do you guys feel about them and were y'all anticipating meeting them? lmk all your thoughts even if they're negative lol


Chapter 15: Chapter Fifteen

"This was well needed. What do you think, Jade?" My mother asks from the front seat as we pull up on the turn to go to our house.

Dinner was amazing just as always. We went to a sushi bar after going to a Teppanyaki restaurant.

We laughed and chatted while trying new stuff.

"It was well needed and amazing as always."

She smiles and nods.

"Well I am definitely going in to have a shower then go straight to bed." She announces once we pull into the garage.

We exit the vehicle and go inside.

I check the fridge for anything sweet and I see a cake that's already been cut.

Thank God.

I cut a slice for myself then see my father so I cut a slice for him as well.

"Dinner was great, wasn't it?" He asks before taking a bite of his cake.

I nod and he nods as well.

My phone vibrates on the counter.

You decided yet?

Jordan.

My father raises a single eyebrow. "Just be careful." He gives me a small smile before leaving the kitchen and going in the direction of his room.

I see a call coming in from Jordan.

I answer.

"Jade, you didn't see me text you?" The call hasn't even started properly yet and my mouth is full of cake.

"Mhm I was just going to answer." My words come out muffled but I still try to swallow the cake in my mouth as quickly as possible.

He kisses his teeth then sighs. "Whatever because I literally texted you multiple times."

I check my phone and in fact see many texts from Jordan.

"I'm just seeing those." My voice sounds far as I scan through the emotions of the multiple messages.

"If you say so." He trails off. "That's okay though, Jade. Do you." He hangs up.

Weird.

Checking my messages, I see Alexia also texted me so I just call her instead.

"What's up?" Is the first thing she says as soon as she answers.

"I just came in from dinner with my parents. You?"

"Nothing new. I just got back from shopping with my mother. How was dinner?"

I tell her all the details of dinner and she suggested that we try the same restaurants together since she's never been.

"But your day sounds fun too. What did you and your mommy get?"

She turns on her camera and goes through a lengthy haul and some stuff she also picked up for her mother for Christmas.

"Do you have plans for the break?" She asks me once we've settled down.

I shake my head. "No."

She smiles. "Good! We can go on the yacht then. Y'know it's almost time for me to get a job since I'm almost done with school so I wanna have some real fun."

I nod. "I can't believe we're going in the real world very soon."

She does a small laugh. "And sooner than we think because who would've guessed that I would be in my second year of University?"

Alexia went straight to University after high school but Jordan and I went to college first. Alexia always knew she wanted to be a lawyer since she first met my mother but prior to that she wanted to be a teacher. She's a micro influencer but still insists that one day she has to be a judge or work in politics.

Jordan wants to be an engineer which is why he's doing his pre requisites from now.

I will either be a lawyer like my mother, an entrepreneur like my father or a politician.

"Who would you invite to the yacht?"

"Not Jordan." Her answer comes out before I finish my question. She scoffs. "That's for sure. So far though, I can't really think of anyone else."

"Oh suh nawmal pree?"

She nods. "I wanna do it right before we go back to school though."

We continue to talk about the event until eventually I'm speaking to myself and I confirm so by listening keenly to hear Alexia's soft snores.

I decide to just hang up the phone after whispering goodnight even though I know she can't hear me.

I go downstairs to make a snack with Mimi by my side as company.

"Mimi, what should I have?" I speak to her.

I browse through the fridge and settle on some leftover pasta that I just reheat and sit at the island to have while I scroll through TikTok.

The volume of my tiktok lowers and a call comes in at the top.

Tego.

"Hello?" Why is he calling me so late?

"Hi." He sounds relieved.

"What's going on? Why are you calling me so

late?"

He breathes. "What's wrong? I can't call you?"

I push my brows together. "Yes- no- of course you can call me it's just that-"

"Right. If I'm allowed to call you then what's the problem? I was thinking of you that's why I called you."

His sweet words bring a smile to my face. "Thinking about me?"

"You don't believe me?" He asks.

"I don't know." I trail off. "What were you thinking about me?"

He laughs. "A lot of things."

We ended up talking about any and everything including allowing him to meet my baby just for him to tell me he doesn't like animals until all of a sudden I was waking up at 3 in the afternoon because my door is being knocked aggressively.

"Jade!" I jump out of the bed and wipe my eyes to reveal my mother with a scowl on her face.

"Yuh sleep dead. Wake up, man. We have to get some stuff for Christmas."

I sit up while still rubbing my eyes.

"Unnu cyaa stay suh man. Get up!"

She kisses her teeth and walks away mumbling as I slump back in my room before finally picking myself up to get ready to go on the road with my mother.
