Love Yuh Bad

Which Gyal?

📍Manchester, Jamaica | 🗓️ Same Day

Noelle's POV

I haven't spoken to Nickoi since Saturday.

And to be honest, I  didn't think we would ever speak again.

When I left him on that beach, I felt like my world was being turned upside down.

I just couldn't believe that my own brother would betray me like that...I thought I knew him.

So when he reached out earlier today, I was surprised, to say the least.

Nickoi is someone with a lot of pride and ego, he rarely feels called to apologize, even if he knows he's in the wrong.

I'm the same way sometimes...if I feel like you went against me, we gone beef forever.

"All weekend mi did waan fi reach out, but mi couldn't two find di words fi seh" are the first words he says to me when I answer his call.

"True wi ah bredda ah sister it nawmal fi wi argue ah fight, but yuh still a mi family and it no right fi wi just stop f*ck wid each other" he continues to say.

I stay silent, I need to hear where he's going with this.

"We know each other since we ah pickney, an yuh neva yet disrespect mi or go against mi"

He's taking pauses between each sentence as if he's trying to find the right words to say.

"I'm sorry for not being more honest about what was happening, and I'm sorry for even considering making a decision like that knowing it would hurt you"

"Yuh woulda neva do mi like that" I hear him let out a loud sigh.

I can't believe this is even happening, I had been holding on to some hope that we would eventually get over this because deep down I really missed my brother.

I didn't like being at odds with him, but what he had done had really hurt me.

"Noelle? Yah hear me?"

"Yes yes, sorry mi juss neva expect yuh fi call and apologize. Yuh can call mi stupid but mi forgive yuh, yes you hurt mi but mi appreciate you for taking responsibility"

I know most people would've kept this grudge for longer, but I couldn't help but forgive him.

"Yuh know seh mi love yuh sis? Always have yuh back enuh....."

"Mi love yuh too, but know seh if yuh eva try do no sh*t like dis again mi ago find two man fi beat you" I dramatize, hearing him laugh over the call.

"Mi believe yuh, mi know seh you is a wicked gyal" he replies with a laugh but mi know seh him believe it fi real.

As he should....head chip inna real life!

I was happy to have my brother back, I spent the next hour catching him up on everything that had happened since we last spoke.

He wasn't shocked to hear I was seeing Micheal. Men love to act like seh dem nuh like mix up but ah lie dem a tell.

He let me know that he wanted me to hang out with him later on that day, and would come pick me up so I could spend the day at his house.

I agreed, and after ending the call with him, I quickly called my mother to do a check-in before I started to get ready.

After jumping out of the shower, I made sure to do my skincare routine before getting dressed.

Nickoi had only given me 1 hour to get ready so I had no time to waste on picking out an outfit.

I decided on a yellow romper and my Dior sandals, Jamaica too b*omboclaat hot sometimes an mi cyaa bada fi fight off heatstroke today.
