Favio well relaxed a drive wid one hand and the next on the gear stick.
Me now? My throat still a hurt me, even after finishing the entirety of the cold drink. Every once ina while, mi fling him some dutty look and all him do a sigh.
"Yu cya kill me wid yu eye dem, Chayanne."
"I know," mi voice come out slightly hoarse.
"I said I'm sorry," him look ova pon me, a try show seh him mean it.
"You neva so rough the first time." A neva seh mi did hate it, but mi neva not like it either. E only thing mi cuda find fault wid a seh mi neva prepared fi dat at all. Look how mi mash up mi throat bout maa swallow cocky. Never again!
Him sigh and seh, "I prefer. . ." him trail off when him see waa vehicle drive pass we. Him eye move to the rearview mirror as him watch e car disappear behind we. Attention back to me, him seh, "That's how I like head."
Figure dat out from the first time him dweet. Still, "Just give a likkle warning next time."
"Okay."
We go back to silence. Soon, we reach Steer Town.
"Drop me in the Square," mi seh. "Mi will walk."
"From morning yaa diss me."
Mi shake mi head and quickly backtrack pon mi words, "Ano wa yaa think. My grandmother like siddung pon e veranda on Sundays and I don't know if she's there."
"Oh, ah," him seh. "I'll leave you at the street's entrance. That good?"
Mi nod.
Him stop the car. "Text me when you're in."
Gathering mi things, mi ask, "When me ago see yu again?"
"Not sure. Mi might go Town sometime dis week."
"Wa yu do up there every minute so?"
Him tap him finger dem pon e steering wheel. "I work."
"Nafi be so vague."
Him sigh and look through the window. "It's easier to run my company in Kingston," he rephrases.
Still a bit vague, but it can gwan.
"Okay," mi move one hand to the door. "Be safe," mi stupidly add.
Him being back in Steer Town wuda have me a worry bout him. And God knows what dis man even a do a Kingston every minute so besides simply working. . . I guess mi wuda find out eventually, seeing as him a start fi be more open wid me.
"People know nufi run up pon me," he looks on me and taps his lips.
I press my lips against his for a sweet, lingering kiss. "Bye, Favi."
"Bye, Fiore."
Blushing, mi step outta the car and touch pon my lane. Behind me, mi can hear the sound a Favio car a speed off. Nun mi more thankful fa than seh this man nuh drive that fast with me in the car.
When me reach the house, mi immediately spot Mama pon the veranda. She siddung ina waa plastic chair, looking well relaxed.
"Mama, see mi come back."
She nod ar head in acknowledgment.
Same time, waa young girl pass wi yaad fi go down e road. Mi nuh know who she be, all me know a seh shi fava stick and ar hair eva bushy like coconut trash. She walk pass ya sometime go a all different man yaad, so only Lord knows wa she up to.
"Another evening widout even a 'Evening, dutty jancro'," mi seh to Mama.
Mama shake ar head in disdain. "Cyan expect nun from a pig more than a grunt."
Dat a true.
Mi laugh likkle and tell Mama, "Behave."
Shi did likkle and wassy back ina ar days isi. Old age nuh change ar at all.
Mi leff ar out deh and walk go ina the house. Ina my room, mi quickly change outta mi pretty clothes and put on some yaad clothes.
Flopping down pon e bed, mi tek up mi phone and go pon App. After texting Favio, I remember that I have to tell Chezzy that I'm home and also catch her up pon mi festive weekend. Searching for her chat, me see nuff message from Yolanda and afi run go in deh go fass.
