I got up early before Nasir to take the garbage outside and was hurrying back inside because I knew he wouldn't stay asleep for too long once he sensed that I wasn't beside him and he would get on my case about taking out the garbage.
"Hey, Iyana, wait up?" I sighed in my head before turning to look at him with a smile.
"Hi Josh."
"Realize seh mi nah si yuh much these days." Weh him wah si mi fa? Afta mi an him anuh fren fi him wah si mi.
"Work ave mi a way suh dats y."
"Oh, okay. Wi can guh out guh catch dinner an a movie sometime enuh." Why did Josh think I would want to go out with him? He even had a girlfriend that lived with him but yet still, here he was.
"Josh I—."
"She ave a man." I was so frightened because I didn't hear the door open and I could have fallen in had I been leaning on it. He came out and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"No disrespect but mi neva did a deal wid yuh suh step off."
"She ave a man."
"A wahm tuh dah bredda yah man, yuh fuck man? Well mi nuh fuck man suh just step off cause mi nah deal wid yuh."
"Betta yuh humble yuh self if yuh know wah good fi yuh." I turned around and put my hands on his chest to try to push him back into the house but he wasn't budging.
"Mi nuh fear man suh if yuh think mi aguh run weh, yuh mek a sad mistake a yuh self." I reached up to touch his face because he was looking at josh with a murderous look in his eyes and I didn't want to know what that murderous look could lead to.

"Yuh betta listen tuh her an guh back inside bwoy before yuh regret it."

"See you in hell." He took my hand and pulled me into the house before shutting the door.
"Weh yah argue wid Josh fa?" I asked as he walked away without saying anything to me and that irritated me because why was he walking away from me when I was talking to him? "Mi a talk tuh yuh an yah walk weh from mi, wah mek yuh suh disrespectful?"
"Yuh nuh si di man a mek yuh feel uncomfortable inna yuh owna place? Wen yah plan fi tell him fi fuck off an stop smile up smile up wid him mek him a pass him place suh?"
"Him neva disrespect mi suh weh mi a rude tuh him fa?"
"Yuh know weh di likkle eediat outside a yuh door a duh a night time? Back him fucking hand miggle while yuh in yah a sleep." The look on my face gave away the fact that I already knew and he picked it up. "Suh yuh did know an yuh neva seh nthn tuh nobody?"
