Jade Smith's Point of View:"Yuh hab money fi guh Italy?" my mom asked me.I sighed, "Yuh know seh mi nuh have money fi that""Then how u a guh?"I rolled my eyes at my mother's incessant questioning. I knew it would be a shock for her to hear that I would be traveling to Italy but I underestimated just how inquisitive she was. She's been asking me questions non-stop about my impromptu trip."Nate is taking me away for a while since his birthday is coming up""Oh, how is that sweet boy?" Her tone changed dramatically.I rolle

Nathan Masters' Point of View:"Have you ever been on a plane before?" Jade gave me a deadpanned look before nodded."I mean I did move from Jamaica to live here in the United States...I'm pretty sure it'd take a whole lot longer by sea""Yeah yeah," she was awfully sarcastic today "what I meant to ask is if you get anxious while flying""Nope, I'm out sleeping most of the flight there anyway""Okay cool I just had to ask," he responded "you know so I could be prepared if you had any problems while flying"She grinned at me, "I got that baby and I appreciate you looking out for me

Nathan Masters' Point of View:"But she's black"The smile that I had slipped off my face. I loved my mother to death but what the fuck did she just say?"What did you just say?" I asked her to make sure I heard her right."Your girlfriend is black," I grew tense when I felt Jade shift away from me."Do you have a problem with that?" I asked through gritted teeth.As if sensing my impending fury she laughed it off and chose to make nice. Which was a good thing because I would not stand for any sort of racism against Jade even from family, especially from family.

Nathan Masters' Point of View:It's been a week since the whole fiasco with my mother and I haven't seen her since. My dad has visited us and we've met up for dinner once but aside from that, nothing.When we arrived at Joseph's house it was around 4 in the evening and we were starving. Because of all the drama, we didn't really get to eat much and we were definitely feeling the effects of it.Jade and I went to get groceries so that we could prepare food while we were there. She insisted that she went since she and I would be doing most of the cooking. We loved our friends dearly but they really can't cook at all. Years of having maids and cooks do that to someone. The same probably would have happened with me if my grandmother wasn't so adaman

Jade Smith's Point of View:"Look I can explain""Explain then"He sighed, "it's not what you think"I rolled my eyes, "that's exactly what people say when it is what I think"He looked over at Christy, "can we talk about this in private?""Hell no!" Christy yelled "as a matter of fact babe get in here""What's going on?" Joseph asked as he walked into the room."Did you know that Nate went out and met up with a woman?"
