One Day Mi Affi Win

Monday, April 3

Ryan had dropped me home this morning to get ready, then took me to work. At lunchtime, I was on a call with Britney because I hadn't spoken to her like forever.

"Girl Ryan finally ask mi fi be him girlfriend," I told Britney, smiling like an idiot.

"Mi know yuh did a go cave in," She said, laughing. "So ya go mek him pop yuh cherry?" She asked.

"Mi did a think bout it and mi waa dweet but mi nuh know ya cause the first time we kiss it did kinda go too far where him find out seh mi a virgin and him never talk to mi the wull night after him find out so if mi tell him seh mi want him dweet mi nuh know how him a go react," I answered.

"Girl, stop talk foolishness 'cause from him ask yuh fi be him ooman him must a guh waa slp wid yuh" She replies.

"Well, that a true still. Waa gwaan wid you and Devaughn?" I asked, referring to her boyfriend.

"Girl, we good enuh. We have we likkle ups and downs, but we a try mek it work. Mi still have some dirty ways bout me enuh but because mi see seh him a be patient wid mi, mi kinda stop" She answered.

"Hear har bout she kinda stop," I laughed. "But mi love dat fi unuh," I told her, smiling. "Anyways, mi a come go back a the people dem work," I told her, getting ready to head back to work.

"Alright, mum later," she said before hanging up.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Heyyy," I greeted Ryan as I entered his car.

"Waa gwaan babes?" He asked, driving off.

"Mi deh ya tiaad lakka wa," I said, reclining my seat.

"Yuh want a massage?" He asked.

"Sure," I agreed. "Ya guh busy weekend?" I asked him, remembering I needed to buy the washer and dryer for mommy.

"Maybe. Why?" He asked.

"Mi did waa go somewhere," I replied, taking my phone out of my bag to see if the sale was still on for them.

"Weh?"

"One store. Mi waa buy one washer and one dryer fi mum. A long time she a wash wid har hand dem" I smiled seeing that the sale was still on for the weekend.

"Okay. Yuh waa mi send yuh money?" He asked.

I didn't answer because even though him love offer mi money, mi feel uncomfortable taking it from him. Mi use to watch how mi father use threaten mi mada fi have sex wid him else she wouldn't get no money fi take care a mi. Mommy think mi nuh know, but mi know. That's why mi work fi have mi own and fi mek mommy get everything she need.

"Nya?" He called, waiting for my answer.

"No, mi good," I answered.

I was far from good. After mi buy the machine dem a doubt any money a go leff in a mi account. Mi affi go tough it out till month end. Sighing at the thought, I turned my attention outside. He didn't even bother answering. Arriving at his house, he came to pull my door and then led me into the house.
