Potential Man

Chapter 4

After I got my bags and unpacked I decided to take a nap to help numb some of the mental and physical pain I was feeling.

*********
I woke up to a knock at the door I checked the time and it was 10:30 and looked around the room some of my bags were still packed, 'a so long mi did a sleep' I shook my head.

Another knock came from the door so I went to open it, "Coming" I said while opening the door, on the other side was Natalie with a tray of food and a bottle of juice, "Yuh father seh me fi gi yuh this and a pain killer", she spoke with attitude, she and her daughter a the same thing nave no rass manners and no know them place only thing weh would a different a the fact seh one no know how fi talk English and the other no know how fi talk patois.

"Thanks" I took the tray and began closing my door but she stopped me with her foot, I look from her foot up to her face with an eyebrow raised "Is there something more?" I asked "Yuh know seh yuh nah go stay yah forever dont?" She asked now getting my full attention "And wah fi stop me from stay inna me father house miss?" giving her the same attitude she is giving me and it seemed to make her angry "Mi no want yuh inna me husband house gyal" she raised her voice taking a step closer cause me to take a step back. Me father need fi change him type in women cause is like seh a bay mad gyal him chat to, I placed the tray on the dresser and turned to her "Gyal like yuh mada, afta me no fraid a you, you nor di jacket weh yuh gi me fada, nah mek me come out a me father house dont fuck yuh self" I said taking steps forward until she was back in the hallway, as she was about to say something I slammed the door in her face.

"A wah do them people yah man from day is like the whole a dem wah draw me out" I said out loud and hissed.

Deciding to only drink the juice, cause mi no know if dah ooman deh put poison inna me plate. I took up the bottle of Coca-Cola and my phone sat on the bed to check my messages.
There were messages from class groups, my aunt, some classmates, Jay, Shan, our gc and an unknown number.
