I was now leaning against the counter of an empty dining room watching an angry Kronazz walk from one end to another his anger barely contained.

"Yuh nuh see seh she bloodclaat drunk. Tek ar home before mi lose it furtha," Kronazz said looking at Debs with a furious scowl on his face.

Nikki took our friend by the elbow and grabbed my hand as she walked away equally furious.

Debbie who was wobbling drunkenly in her tiger print heels leaned down on Nikki as she marched out of the room where Medz had been informed they had taken Debbie who had made a scene with Kronazz as some females had come up to him to show their appreciation for his talent in the turn table.

Debbie was not in for it. It turn out she had thrown her drink in one of the girl's face and chucked the other one and started to accuse Kronazz of always encouraging Frehfrehs.

The girls were not up for the dis and an altercation ensued. Debbie in her moment of drunken madness had caused Medz to call an impromptu end to the affair much to most of the patron's annoyance and disappointment.

A few harsh words were directed at Debbie who was too imbued with drunkenness to be aware but when reality kick in it might just be that Kronazz and her might no longer be an item.

He was truly angry and it had taken Medz and a few other men present to take him in the room we now occupied and calm him somewhat. He was by no means going to let Debbie stifle any opportunity he might have to make it big.

Love was a fickle affair.

As I walked toward the elevator with an angry Nikki I saw a few people standing there in wait and when they turn to openly stare at us as we walk up to them my face turned red with surprise.

What was OD doing here?

He was staring at me with a blank expression on my face and I tried my best to act cool under his intense stare.

"Mi a tek e stairs," I heard Nikki say turning abruptly causing Debs to almost stumble and myself to bump none too gentle in her side.

"What if Debs hurt ar self she can barely walk?" I asked though grateful for not encountering Odean I was concerned about my friend.

"She fucking lucky," Nikki snapped and continued her angry stride but a hand on my arm pulled me to a stop stilling our progress.

My heart flew to my throat and when I turn around and saw that it was Medz my heart fluttered in relief. The look he gave me had me looking away as it was clear from that look he gave me he had summed up my action well.

He said nothing to me only hand Nikki a set of keys and told her to get us home safely and it dawned on me that it was Kronazz that took us here and being after two in the morning it was not going to be an easy task getting a taxi to take us home.

After Nikki took the keys and continue down the stairs I stood there looking at him before I glanced over his shoulder to see that OD was no longer standing by the elevator.

"See you tomorrow," I told him.

"Stay with me," I heard him say taking me by surprise.

Is that what I wanted? Or better yet was this the man that I need? I still felt that connection with Odean but my desires have started to change. I walk up to him and kissed him on the lips and when he moved to deepen the kiss I stepped back and smile.

"Yuh naah guh have mi fi how much days already," I said and felt my smile broaden when he took my hand in his and pull me back to him.

"Dat nuh ansa mi question," he said softly his hands now moving to encircle my waist.

My body automatically nestled into his and I marvelled at how at home I felt being there.

Was I disillusioning myself, were these feelings created by me to keep me locked away from moving toward finding out the truth as to why my family wants me to have nothing to do with OD?

I from the very beginning thought that it was God finally making it His purpose to fit my desire of wanting the love of my life and my daughter's father back in our lives when he had made Odean return after all these years, but come to see that I was now venturing down a different path and was not feeling any apprehension about it made me wonder.

I was standing here wanting a different thing not my previous desire. It was not that I wanted both men, from where I now stood all I wanted was to be with Medz. I wanted to know his likes and dislikes, I wanted that open and carefree smile that lighted up his eyes whenever it graced his lips to be placed there often by something I said or did.

As I rested my head on his shoulder I came to realize that I needed both Medz and OD but for entirely two different reasons. I was starting to care very deeply for Medz and what I wanted from OD now was to ensure we get to the truth of what separates us so that we could both have closure and be Deenie's parents.

I wanted a love affair with Medz, I wanted to be swept off my feet again and again by the sweet tide of his lovemaking. I wanted to see what was budding between us would blossom into and more so I came to realise I was wanting Medz long before OD came along.

As much as I placed fences around me opening it a crack here and there to let him in I came to realise that of all the other men I had let into my life he was the one that I ran to whenever I felt overwhelmed and it pained me deeply to think of losing him.

Much more than it would to lose OD?

The question did not take me by surprise it was my answer that did so.

Yes, it would hurt me much more, as I now realise I was starting to fall for Maleek "Medz" Fenton.

I pulled away from his embrace and look up at him my heart beating wildly in my chest. I knew why I had played so hard against letting myself go completely with Medz when with my previous lovers I had just gone with the flow, it was because deep down I knew I could lose my heart to him.

"I best go, I nuh waah Nikki nyaam off mi head like how she piss off yah now."

He nod and release me from his embrace but before I move to leave he stopped me by holding unto my hand.

"Yuh a leave this."

I look to see him holding my skimpy underwear in his outstretched hand and with my cheeks blazing red I smiled cheekily and said huskily.

"Keep it."

There would be plenty more daring underwears for him to take off and keep in his possession if he liked because my agreeing to go away with him was my closing the door on OD and opening it for Medz.

Might as well cause yuh cudda goodly a carry e pickney.

I was practically stepping down the first flight of stairs when the annoying voice in my head popped the statement into my subconscious and I almost lost my balance it took all my willpower to keep on walking.

A baby.

Medz had brought it up as well and just like back then I pray to God it was not so.
