I hissed my teeth while looking down at my rumbling stomach. I hated Norman Manley International Airport with a passion. There was no where to get food here so I'd have to wait until I get to Constant Spring to get food. Feel like fi jus hop pon a next plane and guh home. A nuff mi nuff mek mi find mi self inna dah country yere.

I walked outside the airport and was hit with a slap from the sun. Not even likkle breeze. I started looking around for my brother and gave it a couple minutes before a called him because knowing him he probably forgot.

I was growing annoyed of this girl now

I was growing annoyed of this girl now. I had circled the airport 3 times and I still haven't seen her

"Yuh nuh feel like a time yuh get a ooman now?" I asked Aries to pass the time. If I go around one more time is a taxi she haffi guh wull.

"She mi want" he responded and I looked at him then i the direction he was looking.

I saw who he was looking at and mek up mi face

"A wah? Yuh knock it already? Is a belview escapee? Bro a wah" Aries asked in response to my disgust

"A mi sista dat dawg" I explained and started pulling up to her

The car fell silent

He parked and they both came out to help her with her suitcases. After they did that the boys got in the car.

"Likkle girl come inna di car nuh man, mi si one girl weh mi start ghost last week and mi nuh waah she beg mi nuh ride" I said then she got in

"If yuh neva have mi shoes best believe a leff yuh did a get leff" I said annoyed at the man infront of me telling me to drive off

"Oh, the Kickers, yeah I was overweight so i threw them away!" She said with a little to much enthusiasm for someone who just threw away a $26,000 shoes

"Throw weh wah? yow betta yuh come out a mi car and walk enuh!" I yelled

"Why're you so aggressive, I'm just playing. Calm down." She answered put off at my attitude

I sighed, it had been a long week and I had to wake up really early to be here.

"I'm sorry, I'm just really tired I shouldn't take it out on you." I was no longer speaking in patois, I spoke in standard English so she could sense that I was being  genuine.

"Where am I staying?" Ahzaiya asked

"Weh yuh mean by dat yuh nuh know weh yaah stay by now?" I asked. Wah she mean by dat

"If I knew then I wouldn't have asked," she retorted and rolled her eyes

"Yuh cyaah guh stay wid me cause mi house unda renovation and a one a mi friend dem guest room mi a stay inna" I rubbed my forehead.

"She can stay wid me" Aries suggested

"Afta weh yuh seh before she come inna di car mi nuh sure mi waah dat happen" I said turning his offer down

"Dat a before mi know dawg plus weh a di worse coulda happen. She a big pickney and both a wi busy" Aries competed

"Alright whateva yuh seh. Azza, yuh good wid dat?" I asked

"Yeah that's fine. You know and fully trust him right?Cause daddy seh him neva sen mi down yere come dead" she asked genuinely

"Yeah, a mi bredda dat him calm" I responded. I knew she'd be safe with Aries so I would be okay with her staying there

"Studio?" Aries asked and I nodded yes
