Thursday, September 1-{9:42 a.m}
I woke up to the sound of water running in the shower.
Him couldn't wake me?
I stretch myself then spread the bed before entering the bathroom to brush my teeth.
I look down on the counter to find the new toothbrush that I took out last night.
"It's in the holder...Good morning." Gio says.
Yuh live yah?
"Thanks...Good morning," I reply.
I didn't put it in there last night because I didn't want to see too comfortable.
See mi all go in a the man kitchen 'bout mi gone look 'bout Mac &' Cheese.
I couldn't help it. That's what I do after every episode.
Eat, eat and eat.
For some reason, it makes me feel better.
I take the toothbrush from the holder, put toothpaste on it, then use my index to spread it.
A me alone do this?
It's a better for me. When I just leave it then try to brush my teeth, it comin' like mi a go dead.
The mint is stronger that way and I can't inhale too much.
I put the toothbrush under the pipe at slightly turn the top so too much water doesn't come out and dilute the toothpaste.
I then proceed to brush my teeth.
After rising out my mouth, I wash my face then take a small towel from the cupboard and dry my face.
After drying my face, I tried to fix my hair. What a luck ting mi no sleep bad 'cause my hair would look a mess.
It doesn't took the same as last night, but it doesn't look that bad either. Just couple strawn's in the air.
One brush, and it's good.
Gio is now out of the shower standing behind me and planting kisses all over my neck.
"Yuh pretty suh?" I smile.
"Yuh want some a me looks? Yuh ugly suh?" I laugh.
"Neva dat me baby, yuh can give we daughter some," I burst out laughing.
I'm not going to have noooo kids what so ever.
Dem deh nuh in a my plan.
Yuh crazy?
""We"? Who is we?"
"Me and you." He slaps my ass then walk to the room.
"At least yuh know wah yuh want, but yuh no must get wah yuh want," Crazy.
He didn't reply.
Well...
It's my turn to have a shower.
I strip myself then walk into the bath.
I need music.
Come to think of it...where's my phone?
I haven't seen it since last night.
It's in your purse, Shadz.
Oh...
But I still need music.
Mi nah come out back innuh.
I hiss my teeth then turn on the shower.
School starts next week and I? Can't wait.
Just thinking about learning new things makes me happy.
School is my happy place.
I'm so excited about 11th grade!
I know it's going to be hard...or that's what they say...but I love a little challenge.
The easy things doesn't make me feel same...the challenging one does.
You know? Buss yuh brain and yuh get them right? Yah man.
That prove seh yuh can do yuh ting.
I hop out the shower and take a towel from the cupboard.
As I step into the room, Gio's clothes greets me on the bed.
Mi guess a dem deh mi fi put on.
He's not in here.
Before putting on my clothes, I take some time to look for my phone in my purse.
I found it.
I press the power button and the big 10:15 a.m greets me.
Time fi yuh gah yuh yawd.
Real.
I pull down the notification bar.
*Mommy❤️. - 5 missed calls*
*Mi Vida💕🤞🏿. - 3 whatsapp messages*
*10 new instagram followers*
*99+ instagram messages*
I call back Mommy. I'll call Sasha when I reach home.
She answers on the second ring.
"Good morning, Mommy." I'm the first to speak.
"Morning, Shadz. Yuh neva see me deh call yuh?"
"No Mommy, sorry, my phone was off." I lie.
Strike 2.
"Mmhm. Me deh a work now, when me come home, me and you go have a little talk." I already know what this "little talk" is about. The talk about boys, how they only want to use me and I should stay far from them...
"Ok Mommy,"
"Yes, lata, Love you."
"Love you too, bye." I hang up.
I walk to the bed to put on the clothes Gio left. That's when I realized how beautiful his room is.
I didn't get a chance to see it last night.
Just like the bathroom, the decor is black and gold. The room is painted in black.
The tiles on the floor are marble black and gold.
The bed head is black with gold lining around the edges.
The dresser is black and gold, as well as the night table.
And there is a 52 inch Tv on the wall.
Almost everything in here is black and gold.
All this must've cost a fortune.
How did he afford all this?
And the kitchen...My bedroom can hold in it along with 2 more duplicates.
I think I'll ask him what he does for a living later.
After I finished putting on my clothes, I decide to call.
He answers on the second ring.
"I'm downstairs...in the kitchen. The clothes on the bed, put them on." Kitchen? He cooks?
"Already did, I figured they were mine." I tell him.
"Ah, meet me downstairs." He hangs up.
I walk out the room.
As I reach the begining of the stairs I sigh.
Sorry, not tonight.
Last night I was "touring" so I didn't mind the stairs.
I walk to the elevator, press the button and step inside.
As soon as I enter the kitchen, the scent of rice and...brown stew chicken greets my nose.
Well...This answered the question I asked myself earlier. He cooks.
Damn.
I lean my head on the wall the my hand fold watching him.
Love to see this.
I watch him as he takes two plates from the strainer then share the food into each plate. One with more on it.
I know that one is mine.
Yuh love yuh belly suh?
Rest me.
"You cook." I finally make my presence known.
"Yeah man, can do a little sumn," He smiles. "Hungry?"
"Yes, but mi no want yuh poison me," I joke.
He hisses playfully.
"Come eat the food and make me carry yuh home before yuh best friend come find me yaad and kill me," I laugh.
I walk up to the counter and grab a stool.
I sit and watch him share the orange juice he too from the fridge.
Man cook and deh share food.
All now me still surprise.
"Yah watch me so fah?" He chuckles.
"Nuhn, cyah watch Daddy handsome a do him ting?" Hear yah now father!
I guess the boldness came from last night's activity.
"So me a "Daddy Handsome" now?" He chuckles.
"Been that," I say as I draw the plate closer to m to start eating.
Tell unnuh seh the one weh nuffer a did mine.
Ha!
Minutes after conversing, talking and eating, we finally finish eating.
Gio is now washing the dishes.
He cooks, clean-
Eats-
And he's hella handsome.
Lashawn couldn't do none a dem yah and beat him.
Neva lie.
Me and Lashawn got together about 2 months after I started 7 grade, he was in grade 8.
I went to his house twice.
Yes, I told Mommy about it and yes, she was cool with it but she always lectured me before I left the house and told me to be careful.
God, I wish I listened to my mother. Mothers always know best.
She always told me to leave Lashawn alone because he only wanted me for my body. I knew but I just wanted to believe he wanted me for more than that and yuh see wah me get?
Aii sah.
Anyways...As I was saying, I went to his house twice. The first time we bought KFC so no one had to do any cooking and the second time? Me would a dead fi hungry. I wasn't feeling well but I went there anyways. This man sat down on the his game for hours! Then when it started getting late he asked me if I was ready.
A di quickest mi evah seh the word yes out a me mouth.
It's a lucky thing I always had chips or else I would've died from hunger.
God know.
I mentally laugh.
Mi af-
"A who give yuh joke?" Gio interrupts my thoughts.
I guess I laughed out loud.
"Nothing, just remembering something." I tell him.
"Eeh? Wah yuh cudda deh memba mek yah laugh so?" He wipes his hands with on of the kitchen towels.
"Nothing, lets go!" He hums in response and take his car keys from the counter.
I take up my phone and follow behind him.
Before I know it, I'm home.
"Thank you." I thank him.
He grabs my throat and kiss me passionately.
I kiss him back.
This neck grabbing is new to me but I like it.
Just like my orgasm last night AND what he did.
Cyah leave out the last part.
Me still cyah believe it.
Isn't he a badman?
Well...his tongue play is amazing so I could care less.
We finally break the kiss after exploring each others mouths.
"Call yuh later, zeen?" He say.
"Ok bye," I kiss his cheek then exit the car.
He doesn't drive off until I open the gate and walk inside.
When I reach the veranda, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
I look down at my phone screen.
12:39 p.m.
Mommy's shift finished a hour and 9 minutes ago.
I look under the chair if I see here shoes.
She's here.
I say a little prayer in my mind before I go inside.
Now yah pray? Woiiie! When yuh did fi pray, yuh neva know prayer.
Shush nuh.
After praying, I walk into the living room.
I know she's waiting for me there. That's where she always waits.
On the sofa infront of the Tv.
"Good afternoon, Mommy," I greet her.
"Good afternoon, Anna-Kay Hamilton." Why is she calling me my grandmother's name?
"Yah must me mother make yuh come in here brawling a stand up infront a me in a man clothes." She continues.
I look down on myself.
"Mommy I-"
"Mommy nothing, Shadia! I spoke to you once and you didn't listen! Yuh see wah yuh did get? Just because you don't listen! You know how it did hurt me fi see yuh did look like yuh did a damn dead fi months!? Shadia, me honestly nah go talk to you again. Anything yuh get this time, yuh take. And yuh did just ready fi tell mih me lie, Shadz, when we start do that? Eeh? Yuh disappoint me Shadia." The last sentence is the only things that lingers after all that she said.
That's one sentence I never expect to come from my mother's mouth towards me.
A tear fell from my eye. I didn't even realize I was crying.
"Mommy, I'm sorry." I sob.
"Man cyah done, Shadia. Focus pan yuh book," with that she walks to her room with me still standing right there without even looking back.
