Chapter 2: Specsavers

"...They're STILL brown Andre! I am taking you to Specsavers first thing."

"No I swear they were red."

"Boy... If you don't get some new glasses..."

"Girl... If yo big ass didn't sit on them..."

"But..."

"Hmmm 'Jaidae did it'..."

I don't sound like that. I pushed away from the sink and walked past him to resume my position against the wall. I gave a deep sigh.

"She did though. Why does bad things have to happen to me? There must be something wrong with me."

I looked down at my feet as I spoke. He stood in front of me and lifted my chin. He stared directly in my DARK BROWN eyes. He then wiped my tear stained cheeks.

"There's nothing wrong with you. Faith. The reason why all these bad things are happening is because God is--"

"Challenging me... I know. But... Why me?" 

"God can only answer that."

We stared at eachother for 30 second that, somewhat felt like 3 hours. Our bond grew stronger with every second. He eased closer to my face as I closed my eyes. Closer... Closer...

"Aaaahhhhh."

There was a load thud.

"Jaidae! What are doing?!"

I shouted a little too loud. She stood up and brushed herself off.

"Y'all are nasty. Doing freaky stuff in the bathroom."

She commented.

"What?"

"Yeah. I heard that shit. 'Imma take that off for you baby.' And Awl'lat 'Damn your soaked baby' shit. Remember that?"

"WHAT?"

Andre looked at me.

"Faith. Your eyes."

I looked at him and he jumped a bit.

"Lemme go to bed."

"Are you gonna follow her to bed Andre?"

Jaidae questioned. I think she was serious though. I stormed out of the door. Andre was about to follow me until Jaidae's heffalump ass blocked his way.

"Move yo ass. Jai"

"Nuh uh pretty boy. I need to talk to you."

"Where yo man at?"

"Man? What man?"

She looked left and rubbed her ear lobe.

"Mason or something..."

"Jason, you say? Who's Jaso-- Oh ok he's downstairs. In bed waiting for me. Waiting for this."

She rubbed her hands down her body while nodding her head and mouthing the words 'For this'

"For this. Mhm... You know what lemme shut up."

"I agree. Now can you let me go?"

"No I need to tell you something."

"Is about the toilet seat? Because I can explain--"

"No, no its about Faith."

Jaidae closed the door. Little did they know that I was listening.
