Karissa Kizeah Thomas' life changed at the age of 16 years old when her grandmother passed away from cancer, leaving her to fend for herself. She pursued a career as...
On our way to the Car dealership, Ragsdale, Kairon made several stops.
His second to last stop was at a stall on Turtle Beach Road since I wanted Coconut water.
Kairon bought it, along with several other fruits for me.
He paid the elder, and also gave him a tip before we made our way back to vehicle to head to the dealership.
I admire how pure his heart is. Dis man wah everybody win wid him.
When we went in the car, he asked if I ate this morning.
I told him yes but Kairon being Kairon, he still stopped on Ochi Main Street and bought a zinger box at KFC for me.
How me ago eat and drink so much things? Him a try tell me say me mawga or something?
I giggled at the thought then placed a pineapple in my mouth.
Kairon glanced on me and put his left arm around the passenger seat, keeping his right hand on the steering.
"A wah you a laugh offa?" He asked, gently holding on to my ponytail and used his fingers to comb through it.
"Nothing." I responded.
Then I remembered what Jania said this morning.
"Mi seh Kairon." I started, placing the pineapple back into the plastic bag and tied it. "Yuh nuh hear say dem a chat we over pinkwall."
He glanced at me again with a confuse expression and asked, "Wah name suh?"
I turned and looked over at him, trying to determine if he was joking or if he's serious.
Dis man serious like a judge.
"Its a tea page sir. Weh mix up and all a dem tings deh post pon. Them take a picha a we on Saturday and send it over deh. Them all a call yuh whore and say me a one and move and bare tings. Me never did know till this morning." I told him, looking down at my fingers and playing with my nails.
Kairon noticed by actions and let out an exasperated sigh.
"Karissa, me know say addi one and move part a rest pon uh head right now.
And just fi make it clear, you anuh one fuck and cut. We deven do that yet fi Christ sake bredgin just fi show yuh. Me just rate yuh and rate how yuh roll and wah have something real wid yuh. That's why me a spend so much time wid yuh these days. So yuh nah fi question if me serious bout dis B." He reassured.
I stayed silent.
"Yer?"
"Yeah yeah." I responded.
He then removed his hand from my hair. He held my chin and rocked my head sideways.
