Folding away the last of my dry clothes, I stuffed them in my drawer before closing it and let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding in.

I'm tired. I've been on my feet since waking up.

"Andre, yuh out here and smell the rice a burn and nuh mek nuh effort fi look!" I hear my mom yell.

"Mi nose stuff up" was all I heard before hearing the sound of the grill opening.

Gone him gone a road now fi smoke and talk wid him friend them. Midnight or probably later before yuh see him come back in.

From them start live wid mi and mommy, everybody a road know we, cause him always a carry him friend them come yah, kmft

"Jess, yuh have nuh scissors in here?" my uncle, stood by my bedroom door since it was open.

"Yeah" I answered walking over to my
dresser and picking it up. I gave it to him and he mumbled a small thank you before walking off.

Hearing footsteps approaching my room, my mom popped up shortly after.

"Yuh alright?" she asked and I nod.

"When yuh ready fi eat, the food is in the kitchen" she tells me before walking
further down to her bedroom.

Honestly, I'm ready to go to bed.

I took my laptop, sat down on the floor in front of my bed, and sent in some files to Andrea, that she had provided and told me to get it completed and sent in back to her. I shut off my laptop, got up from the ground, put it on my bed, and grabbed my phone.

Mi should a gi Tristen mi number eno, atleast we could a text right now, shit mi forget seh him woman miserable tpclt.

Suddenly I spot a msg from my cousin Chloe

Chuckling at my cousin's messages,
I opened WhatsApp and instantly called her.

She picked up on the third ring and as
soon as it connected she started talking.

"From morning mi left yuh yard and text yuh and yuh just a call"

"Mi did busy girl. Yuh suppose to know
that" I answered while smiling.

"Mi know, but a walk me a walk come
round' there now so just mek sure
the gate open" she said not giving me a
chance to answer before she hung up.

She love hang up on people, but gets irritated when people do it to her.
Chloe and I have been best cousins every since, and to be honest, she has always been here for me and she's literally one of the persons I can turn to when anything happens

"Anybody live here?" I heard her voice
followed by the sound of the grill opening.

If mommy and har a never did family, she couldn't just walk come in so enuh.

Exiting my bedroom, I saw her standing in the livingroom and she smiled when she saw me.

"Mi seh girl-Evening aunty Jada" she started before cutting herself off to greet my mom.

"Evening Chloe. Yuh mother home?" she asked and she got a nod in response.

I closed the gate and Chloe and I went to my room.

"One piece a something gwann when mi guh up eh road" she started while flopping down on my bed.

"Yuh nuh know seh mi guh up eh road guh see Zidii??"

"Zidii?? Your boy Ziddi??

"Mi nuh own a boy, cause people a come tell mi seh them a see him wid woman, that's why mi just avoid him since lately"

"Yuh and your man always at it"

"A yuh nav nuh sense, bout yuh guh pick up tiktoker boy" I laughs

"Stop it, yah come at me, why yuh neva tell mi seh yuh and 450 literally work eh same place"

"Girl a since mi start work mi realize, but mi did think seh him a just artiste alone, mi neva know seh him work to"

"A true a Andrea, that's why him start work"

"Well that a fi th business"

"Yuh memba when yuh did love him??"

"Girl mi nuh memba nun, No hablo Español" I replied

She didn't even say a next word, all she did was laugh
