"Hmm?" I hummed as I felt someone poking at my side as I slept.
"T wake up."
"Noo." I groaned turning to the other side pulling the blanket over my head, and I heard the person sighed and opened the curtains.
"Thea wake up now or me ago wake uh up mi self."
"Mhmm." I hummed not bugging, then soon after I felt the sheet being yanked off my body leaving me cold as the room air hit my skin, but I still didn't move, instead I rolled into a ball.

"Mi nuh trust this." I squinted at him, and he rolled his eyes shaking his head chuckling
"Wah mek?"
"Caz di last time uh gimme one pretty box wid bow, a one man head did inna it.

"No Thea, mi nuh do nothing to uh likkle boyfriend...yet."

"Say uh swear. Tek God offa di cross."
"Ah gimme it back." He made a move to take back the box, but I quickly dodged him holding the box tightly shaking my head 'No'.
"Ahhhh. Me ago choose fi believe uh, but puddung uh phone and doh video me enuh caz mi head mad-"

"Mhmm." He hummed as he sat on the bed watching me, and I took up the box once more as I slowly untied the bow
It was too big for a ring, but too small for a watch so maybe a bracelet?

"Yah move so slow?" he chuckled as I stared at the box after opening it to find another box insides, but this other box had writings on it.

"Xavier." I could feel my eyes welling with tears as I read the word over and over.
"Open it nuh, and stop move like say uh shy." He coaxed and I took a deep breath opening the box, and I gasped when I saw what was inside.
