Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart

ASIA

As I sat around the kitchen table with a hangover, my mother continued to scold me for coming home without Sheena. “Ma, she’s grown... I’m not her babysitter, and besides she said she was going over to Stacy’s house that’s right up the block what's the big deal?”

“Weh part ah she grown Asia? She’s only 19!”

“And I recall living ALONE in another country at that age...” I replied as I slurped my OJ.

My mom glared down at me, “you made that choice alone, Sheena is in school tryna mek herself a bright future. She has no business gallivanting around all hours of the night.”

“So, she can't have fun because she’s in school or because you don’t want her to be like me?” I felt myself getting heated. “I don’t remember you complaining about my education when I bought you this damn house!”

I felt sting across my face from where her hand came across, “you watch your mouth when you talk to me Asia!”

I bit my lip to keep from saying anything else before storming off into the backyard, which was actually a beach. I found Mia doing yoga by the water and sat down on the blanket she had quietly until she was done. “Let’s go to the spa...” I announced as Mia made her way over to me.

Shortly after we were back in the house and Mia was taking a shower when I went to knock on Elle’s door, I smirked when Jay pulled it open shirtless. “Ew nigga, nobody wants to see allat...” I joked. “Oh wait, never mind...” I said as Elle’s face emerged from behind him. 

Elle pushed Jay out the way, “what’s up?”

“Get dressed, we’re going to the spa...” I raised my brows. “Sounds like you need it,” I winked.

Elle slapped my arm before laughing, “aight, gimme a few...”

“You got ten minutes.”

“I can do a lot in ten minutes Asia!” Jay called out from in the room.

“Ew!” I shouted back before making my way back to my room.

An hour later Elle, Mia, and I were laying naked on our stomachs while getting or backs massaged. “So, Elle...” I turned my head to face her. “I aint know you were so freaky girl...” Mia snickered behind me.

“Oh my God Asia! Shut up!” Elle hissed at me as her face turned bright red. 

“Make sure you’re careful with her back...” I instructed Elle’s masseuse. “I think she broke it...”
