Rosalia's POV
Later That Morning
October 7th, 9: 25 a.m.
○●○
Ocho Rios, St. Ann
"Mi convince seh we lost, because why we nuh reach yet?" I asked, frowning at Kassauni.
"How yah go tell me say me lost and you nuh know which part we a go? Rosalia, we're almost there," Kassauni told me. I huffed and pouted.
It's too bad that I fell asleep for about an hour so I don't know where we are. I picked up my bottle of water and took a few sips before putting it back down. Shortly after, he pulled up into a driveway next to a silver-gray Benz.
A who fah yard this?
"Where are we, Kassauni?" I asked, looking at him.
"Ocho Rios," He told me. I smiled and shook my head.
"Very funny. Don't joke like that," I told him.
"Why yuh feel me a joke? Yuh nuh believe me?" He asked me.
"No," I said, shyly. He chuckled and leaned over, pressing a kiss to my lips.
"Come out a the car," He said as he pulled away. My eyes slowly opened and I bit my bottom lip.
He got out of the car and walked around to my door, opening it. I got out and he took my hand into his, pulling me to the side before closing the door. He pressed the button on his fob key and the car doors locked.
"What about the bags inside?" I asked him.
"Me ago come take them out later. Yuh wah get some sleep and then we can go beach?" He asked me. I smiled and shook my head.
"I don't want to sleep. Can we go now?" I asked, leaning into his side.
"No, later when everybody reach we can go," He said.
"Who else is coming?" I asked.
"Probably Demetri and Nico. That nuh important because we ago gone after them come." He took a bunch of keys from his pocket and unlocked the gate, letting us inside.
I wondered why they didn't just part in this open garage space. Maybe they had other plans like ours too. Well, I don't have any plans since I'm doing what Kassauni has planned. I'm excited about this adventure, though. The only time I've really ever traveled was with my family, and I've never been to St. Ann before. Kassauni inserted one of the keys into the keyhole or the door, leading inside and turned it.
"Where are we going later? After the beach, I mean?" I asked, walking in before him. I took off my shoes by the door and he walked in after me, doing the same.
"Something other than come here till evening," He said, taking my hand and he took up both pairs of shoes.
I could have done that. He's quite the gentleman, but I won't speak on it.
Appreciate him and observe his qualities in quiet. Compliment him on them later on.
"Why come here in the first place if you're going to leave after?" I asked him. He didn't say anything as he walked to a closed door and opened it.
"Come, me wah sleep likkle bit," He said, turning on the light after he walked in and closed the door behind me.
"With outside clothes?" I asked.
"We never go anywhere, so yuh can stay inna that. Yuh wah change?" He asked me. I nodded and he opened one of the drawers, took out a lime green T-shirt, and gave it to me.
Hmm, he comes here often.
Wonder if him used to bring him ex dem here so to...
"Thank you," I muttered, unbuttoning my skirt.
When he turned his back to pull the sheets off the bed, I pulled my skirt down and took off my blouse before putting on the shirt he gave me over my head. It fell a little over my knees and I folded my clothes, putting them on a chair that was next to the bed.
"You said we're going to the beach but I just realized that I didn't bring anything. See, you should have told me," I said, climbing onto the bed as he took off his joggers, revealing a white Nike shorts.
"I came prepared. Weh yuh think inna the bag weh yuh bredda gimme?" He asked me, lying down next to me.
"I don't know. Are we going back tonight?" I asked, scooting closer to him. He shook his head and put his arm around me, pulling me closer to him.
"Tomorrow evening," He said, running his hand down my clothed back.
"So, is this a date?" I asked, smiling. He smiled and looked at me.
"Not sure, would you want it to be?" He asked me. I crossed my arms on his chest and bit the inside of my cheek before releasing it.
"I can't want it to be something if it's not, but it wouldn't be a bad idea," I told him.
"Alright, well I classify every time we spent together after the first kiss, a date. Even when we are around other people, at the end of the day we end up being around each other. I've cooked for you and I've never done that for any girlfriend of mine before," He said, pinching my cheek. I blushed and kissed his lips, softly.
"When are you going to ask me to be your girlfriend?" I asked, trying to hide my eagerness.
Stop act giddy likkle gyal. Yuh nuh grow suh
Mi nah act giddy. Mi just wah know
"I'm not sure. It depends," He told me. I sighed and he turned on his side, hoisting one of my legs to put over him.
"Yuh inna haste? Have options? Wahm?" He asked, pulling the sheet over us.
"I would just like to know. Besides, I've only ever been asked over text and with a charm bracelet and a chocolate bar. Which was nice," I told him.
"Probably make it look like a proposal then. Give yuh one ring and thing." He chuckled, burying his face into my neck. I ran my fingers through his hair and sighed.
"It doesn't have to be anything big, just meaningful." I rubbed my foot against his legs.
"Hmm. Me ago carry yuh a one party, but it will probably be like a date because a me and yuh alone a go. Nah bring nobody else back a mi," He said. His words were a bit muffled but I heard him clearly.
"When?" I asked. He pulled away a bit to pick up his phone and pulled up a calendar that had a lot of events listed on it.
"Heroes weekend. The 21st of this month," He told me, pulling up the date. It was labeled Party Date.
"You have a calendar for your dates?" I asked, laughing.
"Sometimes, it all depends how busy I am. Affi make time fi study and a good while me nuh study eno. Yah distract me, but mi nah complain because I still squeeze in assignments and get them done," He told me.
"I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing," I said, smiling.
"Then why yah smile?" He asked, chuckling.
"Because, being a distraction is good but it can be bad. I wanna be the good kind," I said to him.
"Unfortunately, it's both. Good thing is though, I don't complain about either because as I said, my mind can be free long enough fi get things done. Me a drive from Kingston come straight a St. Ann and the only thing me can think bout a if yah go like this or if yah go hungry before we reach, random things. Nothing too major, but still distracting because mi mind supposed to deh pan the road. Thankfully, me can drive," He said, patting my butt.
"You're so thoughtful. A bit mean, but thoughtful and kind," I said, smiling.
"Anything yuh seh," He mumbled, smiling to himself.
"Deep question moment," I said, pulling closer to him.
Gwaan inna him skin and done...
"Ah bwoy. Alright, which question?" He asked. I laughed and pinched him.
"I'm not being annoying. I wanna know more about you," I said to him. He smiled and pulled me closer to him.
"Cool, go ahead. No fuckery though," He warned me. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Why don't you talk about your parents? Each time I bring them up, you changed the topic. You never wanna talk about them, or any other family that you have. Why? Don't you have a good relationship with your parents?" I asked him. His body stiffened and he sighed, deeply.
"Come we make a deal. Ask any questions yuh want and me will answer them, but when it comes to the parents topic, ask one a day. Which question yuh wah me answer?" He asked me.
Definitely an issue there.
"Do you have a good relationship with your parents?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders.
"A strained relationship, yes. It's not perfect but I love them," He said.
But why isn't it perfect?
Is it because they travel a lot?
"One more? Please?" I asked, pouting.
"No, one me say," He stated.
"Fine, tell me something about you that I don't know," I told him.
"Mi did crash when me just turn 18," He said.
"Wow. Was it bad, broken bones or any of that?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Nothing severe. Couple scratch but that's about it. The car front did mash up bad though," He revealed.
"How did it happen?" I asked.
"Probox taxi driver run a redlight. Him a try avoid a truck and run inna the front a mi car," He told me.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Have you ever broken a bone?" I asked, curiously. He hummed and leaned his head against his palm, staring down at me.
"Yeah, ina 5th form. When me did a play basketball match, me get injured and fuck up me knee. It heal up and thing, but me stop play cause a never sum'n weh me wah go far wid. Just fi extracurricular, and mi did a do tracks but the injury make me lose interest. Plus because of raw talent, people used to seh mi take steroids," He said, chuckling dryly.
"Badmind. So have you thought about going back?" I asked. He shook his head no and laughed.
"Honestly, mi did competitive bad. This youth weh used to go JC before him transfer, we always have some kinda rivalry. When me did just join the team inna 3rd form, me did good and a nuff ratings me did get. Mi did versatile pan the court but Center was my strongest position and it was the only position him could'a play good. Couple times the coach would'a make me play different position so him can play Center but I was a better player. Him get bench 3 games inna row and as me reach 4th form, me turn captain. Team vote and the coach agree. That just fuel the man hatred fimme but mi never too care cause weh mi fi do? Play bad so him get fi play? Afta mi nuh fuck man," He said, hissing his teeth.
"I could get why he'd be upset, but he just wasn't the best player. Also, he could have practiced to conquer other positions too, especially since you didn't take his place by favoritism. You worked for it," I said. He chuckled and looked at me.
"Him transfer go George's and start play fi dem. Have couple match together and me win bout 5 outta the 7, at the time. When we did a play KC, so me get injured. Right after mi score the last shot," He said, moving his hand down my hip and then my leg.
"I didn't see any trophies in your bedroom. Did you get rid of them?" I asked him.
"No. Medal dem inna mi closet and the trophy dem deh inna the case inna the living room," He revealed. I hummed.
"I wanna see them when I come over again," I told him. He nodded and caressed my thigh.
"Tell me about the worst relationship you've been in. You said there were two, and you always spoke about one. Akeem, right?" He asked. I nodded.
"Yes, Akeem was a sweetheart and the best of the two," I admitted.
"A nuh him mi wah hear 'bout. The next one," He told me. I hummed.
"Jevaunie. Him gimme bun and mi leff him," I said. Kassauni pinched me and I hissed, slapping him.
"That hot eno, bwoy!" I rubbed the spot and he smiled, unphased.
"Mi know. Details me want, cause a that yuh ever bully mi fah," He said. I groaned and sighed.
"Well, we were friends first because when he wanted us to date, I wasn't ready for a relationship. Also, Daddy had a rule that I shouldn't start dating too young because I'm a child and I should stay in a child's place. Anyway, I finally gave him after me and Akeem broke up and we dated for 6 months and a week," I started.
"Hmm, and?" He asked me.
"The relationship was nice. Your regular high school relationship with a little toxicity. By this time, he was sexually active and I wasn't, because I wanted to wait. He used to preach the he is willing to wait whenever, all that dumb shit. 5 months time, he's being secretive and I suddenly can't touch his phone again because each time he would pick it up. And the funny thing is, I wasn't going to search it. It's just like a normal thing where I'd sometime take pictures on his phone and set it as his lock screen. I thought that was cute, anyway he stopped allowing me to do that. He was being weird and I asked him if he was cheating and he said "No, Alia. Me would'a never do that to you... It's but that mi phone space a full," like me a idiot." I hissed my teeth and Kassauni laughed.
"Anyway, there was a girl in our grade named Peta-Gaye. She and her friends used to pick on me, but it was mostly just talk. My friend group was still tight-knit. Geneva, Chevy, Amir, and Malika. Always been them, but since Malika and Geneva didn't go to our school, I hung out with the guys. Jevaunie couldn't question that because my friends are actual friends because they treat me the exact same as Jardani, moving on. Now Peta-Gaye and her friends had it in their minds that I always act as if I'm better than them because of who my father was." The memory made me shake my head.
"I've never used Daddy to get me out of any situation, but I let her talk. They started laughing at me and saying that's what I deserve because I thought I was some hit girl, which was kinda confusing. My mind just immediately jumped to Jevaunie and him being secretive. That's the very first time I searched his phone. I snuck and found out his password," I said, shrugging.
"Rule number 1, never you search a man phone if you feel him a cheat because him a cheat. Gut can never wrong, but yuh heart ago deceive yuh," Kassauni said to me.
"I figured," I said, softly.
"That's why you shouldn't decide with your heart because despite how much it feels right, it betrays yuh. Gut feelings, instincts... Always work wid that cause yuh can never go wrong," He said to me.
Daddy used to say that. The heart is deceiving and love isn't a concrete reason to hold onto a relationship.
"I wonder if it was Simone's gut feeling that made her think you were cheating," I said, mocking.
"Me never cheat pan Simone, yet. Remember seh a she me deh wid after Yanique so a Yanique get bun," He told me.
"Your logic is disgusting, and you kissed me while you were still with her," I pointed out.
"We were on a break for two whole weeks," He said to me. I hummed.
"Tell me 'bout yuh wasteman and stop bring up other people," He added. I scoffed and shook my head.
"I found nudes of Peta-Gaye in his phone and the girl was basically talking shit about me with each picture she took. Talked down on me and said I am probably letting my friends fuck me and using my virginity as a cover-up. He knew I wasn't romantically or sexually involved with them, but he agreed just for the sake of them fucking. The messages go as far as her trying to talk to him, when our relationship just started. After they had sex the first time, he started sending her nudes as well. I export the chat to mine and then I left his house. When I got home, I finished reading it," I told him.
"Heart strong, man. Know seh me wouldn't wah know and yuh cya get me search a woman phone," He said, laughing. I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"I did want to cry, I'm not going to lie. Anyway, I confronted him and he lied but since I didn't want to make him think he's any wiser, I told him that I know they had a secret relationship behind my back. I broke up with him and he started talking to her. He always text me, begging for another chance, telling me how he only slept with her for the sex and she meant nothing to him. While this whole time, she's bragging that she took my man, blah blah blah. I just ignored her after that," I said, shrugging.
"That's nice of you," He said, chuckling.
"Nice to choose my peace?" I asked
"No, I'm saying it's nice of you to ignore her because I thought you were going to tell me that you sent her the screenshots of him telling you that he only slept with her for sex. Simmer har kettle fi har cause she like hype," He said. I laughed and shrugged.
There was a small knock on the door, sounding like a bottle. Kassauni smiled and got off the bed, opening the door. A baby walked in, wearing a suit of pajamas with his bottle in his hands. Kassauni closed the door and lifted him onto the bed. The baby looked at me and started drinking his formula.
"Renae's baby?" I asked and Kassauni nodded.
"Yes, him name Liam. Wahm Lee?" He asked, laying down and putting the baby to sit on his stomach.
"Tea," Liam said, taking the bottle from his mouth.
"Yes, tea. Gimme some," Kassauni said, holding his hand out.
"Mine!" Liam exclaimed, giggling. I smiled and Kassauni pushed his head, playfully.
"Nah buy yuh nuh more ice cream. Gweh," He said to him. Liam looked at him unphased and turned the bottle to his head, drinking.
"Can he make full sentences?" I asked, Kassauni.
"It depends. If it sound too difficult to him ears, him ago just stare pan yuh but him kinda stubborn. If him nuh feel fi say it, him nah go say it. When him a play by himself yuh will hear him count and thing," He said.
"That's nice. He's so cute too," I gushed. Liam smiled at me and then reached out to touch my face.
"Pretty," He said, and I gasped in shock.
"Hey bwoy, mind weh yah do eno," Kassauni said in a serious tone, but I could tell he was playing. Liam looked at him and pointed at me.
"Pretty, pretty, pretty," He repeated.
"She ugly," Kassauni said. I hit him, playfully.
"Pretty," Liam said, smiling.
"Babies tell no lies. Gweh," I said, laughing. Liam started fake laughing too and Kassauni laughed.
"Yuh get joke, bredgin? Weh yah laugh fah?" He asked him.
"Leave him," I said, smiling. Liam brought the bottle back to his head and started drinking.
"Liam! Kareem, him in there so?" I heard Renae ask.
"Rèmi fawud so him muss have him. Weh yah shout so fah? Him cya pull the grill eno, Nae," I heard a male voice say.
Shortly after, the door to the room we were in, opened.
"Oh, a you have him. Morning," Renae said, smiling.
"Morning," I greeted.
"Kareem, yuh cya tell yuh woman fi wear decent clothes, bredda?" Kassauni asked. She had on a sports bra and a black tights.
"Yuh cya gweh, germs?" Renae said, hissing her teeth.
"Mind mi kunk yuh. Doh get bright," He said to her.
"Nothing is wrong with what she's wearing," I said.
"Rosalia, nuh badda wid it and nuh encourage har. Gwaan and lock mi door," Kassauni said to Renae.
"Yuh lucky seh mi baby in here cause a bad things me would'a tell yuh," Renae said to him.
"Mommy, Close'a door!" Liam exclaimed.
Watch yah
Look here though fada God.
"Yeah, tell har again," Kassauni said, chuckling.
"Make sure a backa Rèmi yuh hitch up fi the whole day 'cause me nuh know a wah make yah show up yuh colors, red skin bwoy," Renae said to him.
"Shh, close'a door," Liam said, putting his index finger to his lips. My eyes widened and she walked over to the bed.
"Oye, lowe him eno. Hear the man seh fi close the door," Kassauni said, shielding Liam only for Renae to slap him instead.
"A you me ago lick because a you him get it from. Mi nah send back mi pitney a yuh yard cause a yah rub off pan him," She said, pinching him. He hissed and slapped her hand away.
"Renae, that hot eno likkle girl. Me want privacy, come out," He said to her.
"Stop teach mi child bad things," Renae said, hitting him after each word.
"Know seh mi cya bada. Kareem, come talk to yuh girlfriend nuh bredda, and tell har fi stop abuse mi," Kassauni called out, setting Liam aside.
"Uno lowe mi alone," The male voice said, outside of the room. Kassauni sat up and grabbed both of her hands, folding his right hand into a fist.
I watched them, amused. They're so playful around each other and this is one of the little boy and girl friendships that seems to be only that. Well, they act like siblings. A bit like Jardani and I.
"Know seh mi never get lick from mi born. Stop put yuh hand pan mi, likkle girl," He said, punching her on her arm.
"Stop nuh, shit. Kareem, yuh see how him a— Ah!" She whined when he punched her again.
"Yuh know seh that hot. Me ago tell," She complained, trying to wiggle out of his grip.
"Then stop lick mi," He said to her before releasing her hands.
"Know seh mi nuh like yuh," She said, looking at her arm.
"Mi nuh care," He retorted. She rolled her eyes at him.
"Mommy, finish," Liam said, handing her the empty bottle with the cover.
"Don't call me name," She said, taking the bottle from him.
"Say, 'Mommy', Liam." Kassauni looked at him and laughed.
"Mommy," Liam said, clapping his hands together.
They bickered back and forth before Renae finally left the room, closing the door behind her. She said she would return shortly after with breakfast for Liam since Kassauni said he didn't want anything and I'd already eaten.
I laid back and watched Kassauni with Liam. Even though they didn't say much to each other, they seemed to have a great bond. Liam was seated on his stomach while playing a game on his phone— Kassauni occasionally showing him what to do. He's so great with him.
Since Kassauni wasn't going anywhere now, I decided to catch up on some sleep while he spent time with Liam. I pulled the comforter over my lower half and closed my eyes, hoping to fall asleep.
Daytime sleeping isn't really my thing.

Later that day
12 Noon
"Kassauni me wah pee-pee," I said, sitting up.
"Bathroom inna the hall. Pass the living room and the dining area, only door on the right," He said to me.
"Come with me, please," I said, standing up. He's getting ready to go to the beach with me and I have just woken up.
"Nobody nah bother yuh eno," He told me, throwing the white marina over his shoulder.
Standing up from the bed, I pulled down his shirt that I had on and walked to the door, opening it. I walked out and he followed, shortly after. When I found the bathroom, I quickly went inside and closed the door before releasing my bladder. I wiped myself when I was finished and flushed the toilet before washing my hands.
"Yuh wah change inna the bath suit or yah bring it?" Kassauni asked as I walked out of the bathroom.
"I can change into it, but I don't have any cover-up so I'll need something to wear over it," I told him, heading back to the room.
"Make me go fi the bag weh yuh bredda gimme. Mi tell him wah we might need, so make we see if him have sense," He said and I followed him. I passed a bedroom at the front close to the front door and Renae was in front of a guy on the bed, wearing a bikini.
"The sun hot, eh," I said as I stepped onto the concrete. He took the bag from the backseat and walked back inside.
"I thought you said that it will be just us going," I said as we got back into the room.
"We get tail, it seems. Kareem mother take Liam fi the day so Renae dem a take advantage a the free time," He told me.
After I changed into a purple bikini and light blue jeans shorts, I put on a T-shirt with my purple slides. Kassauni picked up his car keys and locked the room door after we walked out.
"Mi seh mi nuh want yuh over here so mi sure a nuh me yah come to. Gwaan to yuh man, my girl and stop call me phone. Done make yuh decision aready," Demetri said, walking towards us. He was wearing his beach attire.
"Ah, so me ago fuck a next gyal and see how that work. Maybe then we can chat back but me would'a leff she eno. Ago continue whateber relationship we ago have, 'cause a fool yuh take man fah. Yuh done fuck a man, been fucking him fi a year and yuh come a tell me fuckery a mi ears. How yuh fi look pan bomboclaat man and a come tell me sorry like yuh take man fi idiot? Stop call me phone, Leandra. Done mi done chat to you, my girl," He said, hanging up the phone.
"A wahm?" Kassauni asked him.
"Bomboclaat gyal deh a wicked, yer. She been a cheat fi a year, dawg? And then she a come tell me sorry like me a fool, bredda. Mi nuh wah no man a come lecture mi bout loyalty when she a fuck around. Think a likkle easy pussy me turn dung fi har? Only fi find out she is a easy pussy to a next man, so that leff me fi look like a fucking idiot. Then she a call mi phone bout she sorry. Sorry har mada." He hissed his teeth and then he looked at me.
Jeez, and look how me a seh she nice and quiet...
That's why yuh nuffi judge a book by its cover
"Sorry mi language, Alia, but mi vex. Some gyal a really wicked," He said to me. I nodded in understanding.
"That's okay," I assured him. He nodded and walked past us towards the door.
"A the thick girl cheat pan him?" I asked Kassauni. He hummed.
"Yes, don't act surprised. Me did see it a come," He said, pulling me outside. Renae, Kareem, Nico, and Demetri were standing by Kassauni's car.
A wah mek all a them bungle up desso?
A carpool or sum'n?
"Bids pan the front seat," Nico said as Kassauni handed his fob key to Kareem.
"Mind mi tell yuh sum'n bad. Go lap up wid Demetri," Renae said, getting in the front seat.
"All a we can hold?" I asked Kassauni.
"Nuh 4 a back drive inna taxi?" He asked, opening the door behind the driver's seat. I went in first and he came in after.
"Go over nuh," Demetri said to Nico.
"Inna the girl lap? Yuh try take squeeze up and lock chat," Nico told him, pulling out his phone.
"Rosalia, come sit down inna me lap," Kassauni said, closing the door after he got in. I raised up a bit and then sat down on his lap.
"Turn on some music deh," Nico suggested.
"Don't touch me thing eno," Kassauni warned.
"We cya drive inna quiet eno, youth," Nico said to him. Kassauni tapped my shoulder and I looked at him.
"Take up the phone inna the middle compartment and gimme," He told me. I leaned forward and opened the middle compartment, taking out the iPhone inside.
"Me can get one a dem here?" I asked, holding up a pack or spearmint Wrigley's.
"Yes, gimme the phone and turn on the iPad," He said and I reached my hand back, giving him the phone before turning on the iPad.
"Can I have one, please?" Renae asked me. I opened the wrapped and gave one to her. She thanked me and I offered Demetri and Nico one as well before sitting back.
"Yuh ask me fi sum'n and yah share wid Karen and har two dog dem. You me give," Kassauni said and Kareem started laughing.
"Rèmi, go suck yuh gyal weh yuh naave and lowe me, yer." Nico hissed his teeth and Kassauni laughed.
"Leave that to you," Kassauni responded. I put the last two chewing gum into my mouth and crumbled the wrapper into my hand.
"Demetri, you and Leandra break up?" Renae asked as Kareem reversed out of the driveway. I zoned out their conversation and turned my body slightly so I could see Kassauni's face.
"Me a squeeze yuh up?" I asked him.
"Squeeze me up? Yuh small so mi nuh know weh yah talk 'bout. Ignore that and get comfortable," He said, laughing. I put my arm around his neck and leaned against his chest.
"Me hungry," I whispered in his ear. He turned his head and looked at me with a frown.
"A now yah tell me that Rosalia and we just left the house?" He asked me.
"I can wait until we reach," I assured him. He hissed his teeth.
"Kareem, when yuh reach close to one shop just stop make me buy sum'n. Anywhere weh me can get sum'n buy fi eat," He said. I rolled my eyes and reached into my back pocket for my phone.
"Ah," Kareem said.
"Yuh hungry and yah eat chewing gum. Yuh nuh righted, eno." He hissed his teeth and I frowned.
"Yuh cya stop talk to me wid so much bass inna yuh voice?" I rolled my eyes and was about to sit up.
"Cya do nuh better, Mama. First yuh did like it, now yah complain. Make up yuh mind," He said, securing his arm around my waist.
"Yuh do sum'n extra when yuh start scold me," I told him. He laughed and kissed my cheek.
Him chest ever a vibrate when him a talk. Then me would'n want him should after me. Go see me a bawl.
Yuh in love wid the deep voice, stop yuh pretending.
Love it bad.
Bad bad.
"Stop yuh noise," He muttered. I lit up my phone screen and unlocked it.

O
cho Rios Bay Beach
~ 1:20 p.m.
"Everything uno get?" Kassauni asked Nico as they came back with the food they bought.
"Yeah, your bag this," Nico said, handing him a white plastic bag and a KFC bag.
"Ah." Kassauni gave me the plastic bag and Nico and Demetri walked away.
Demetri has been very quiet, mostly pissed it seems. I guess it is sad that he got cheated on, especially since he stopped having multiple girls in respect of her. Putting the sunscreen bottle down, I sat down between his spread legs on the sun lounger. I opened the bag and there were different snacks and juice inside.
"Who fah dem here?" I asked, looking back at him.
"A me and yuh deh here so, Mamz. Who else?" He asked, tying the top of the KFC bag before putting it on the chair next to him.
"Me want piece a the chicken fi eat now," I told him.
"Eat it then nuh," He said, putting on a pair of dark sunglasses and lay back.
"Give me some a that weh yuh have," I said, pointing to the red cup he was sipping from.
The only liquor I've had is Sorrel beer... Or Melon beer. Never anything too hard.
Drink and drunk...
Yuh might find weh yah look fah
Mi nah look fi nothing. And mi nah drunk, either.
"Yuh can handle liquor?" He asked me. I nodded and leaned closer to him.
"Taste it if yuh like it and then mi give yuh some," He said, giving me the cup. I sipped it and scrunched my face.
"Wah in deh again?" I asked him.
"Campari and Cranberry juice," He told me. I sipped it again and shook my head.
"That bitter. Me see uno wid rum, a that me want," I said, sitting on my knees.
"Me nuh wah yuh drunk, so as yuh done drink it yah go eat sum'n and then drink nuff water," He stated, sitting up. He pushed the glasses up on his head and looked at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Yuh sit down between me foot dem, how me ago move?" He asked me. I stood up and he quickly made me a drink before handing me the cup.
"Taste it if yuh wah more chaser," He said to me. I sipped it and I could taste more rum than the cranberry.
"Put more juice in there," I said, holding out the cup. He poured some more in before closing the bottle and lying back down.
"Yuh cya make we go inna the water?" I asked him. He put the glasses back over his eyes and sighed.
"You gwaan nuh. See the water right desso, Rosalia. A company yah look?" He asked. I looked at him and nodded slowly.
"Yes, supposed me drown?" I asked, sitting on his lap.
"Wait likkle bit," He said, downing the last of the content in his cup. He hummed and shielded his eyes from the sun.
"Photoshopped," I said, trailing my hand down his abs. He looked at me and laughed.
"Stop badmind mi good looks, likkle girl," He said, looking at me.
"Please, I'm admiring," I corrected him. He smiled and licked his lips.
"Yuh remember when yuh tell me seh 'I have seen better'? A which part yuh see that?" He asked me.
"That's old news. Leave that," I said, sipping from my cup.
My impulsive thoughts are telling me to down everything in one go, but I'm not doing that.
"Where do you fit in time to workout? I'm sure these don't form themselves," I said, rubbing his abs.
"Weekends and when I don't go to school. Preferably ina the morning time," He told me.
"Huh. They're firm, and you have a v-line too," I said, my eyes falling to his lower stomach. A line of hair that started from his navel and disappeared into his swimming trunks.
"Stop feel me up," He muttered and I sipped the content from my cup.
"I'm doing no such thing," I said, sighing.
"Come take me picture," I added, standing up and handing him my phone.
"Rosalia, inna hot sun?" He asked me. I nodded and set the cup down.
"Yuh can do it quick. Just take off the glasses and sit up," I told him, stepping back a little. He sat up and took off the glasses.
"Rosalia, why yuh wah me take picture and the sun inna mi eye?" He asked, hissing his teeth. I stared at him.
"Nuh badda then," I said, going to take my phone.
"Yuh love vex fi foolishness? Go stand up desso," He said, getting up. Smiling, I went in the direction where the sun was shining.
"It look nice here so?" I asked him
"Yes, pose now," he instructed. I did a few regular poses until I started to get more comfortable.
I shifted my weight on one leg and used both hands to shield my face from the sun. He took the pictures while standing up and then stooped down to get a different angle.
Photographer him... Talk truth
Him me ago make take all a me picture them when me a go out.
"Me ago take off the shorts and yuh take it inna the swim suit," I told him, unbuttoning my shorts. He hummed and I pulled it down my legs before putting it on the sun lounger.
"Tie the string good cause it a pull out," He said, pointing. I tightened the bow-tie and then he finished taking my pictures.
"Your turn," I said, taking my phone from him.
"Uno wah me take uno picture?" Renae asked, walking towards us.
"No—" Kassauni started to say.
"Yes, we do. Please," I said, cutting him off. She laughed.
"Come make we hurry up cause me wah pee pee," She said. I handed her my phone and Kassauni groaned as I pulled him towards me.
"Rosalia, yuh know seh yuh too demanding. Look how the sun hot?" He muttered.
"I guess you're rubbing off on me cause yuh always demanding," I said, wrapping my arms around him.
"Stop gwaan so cause yuh know yuh wah take the picture, Rèmi. Hug up the girl," Renae said, laughing.
"Shut up and take the picture, Renae. And nuh badda over do it," He told her.
After she took a few pictures, she was complaining about how lame we were and she saw us 'sucking out tongue' in the parking lot so she didn't know what we were hiding. Personally, I'm not hiding anything. I just didn't know if we were on that level in public.
Catching me off guard, Kassauni grabbed my neck and leaned down, kissing my lips. My lips parted in surprise before I quickly started kissing him back. My stomach filled with butterflies and I wrapped my hand around his wrist of the hand around my neck.
Jesas, mi never ready fi diss.
Chokehold
"Uno do one next pose now. Me, love dah one yah," Renae said, giggling. Kassauni pulled away and I looked at him, feeling my cheeks grow warm.
"Wah kinda pose Renae? Mi nuh know fi pose," He told her, looking away from me.
"Make Alia show yuh. Do one more kiss, uno cute bad," She said, holding the bag juice between her teeth.
Mi shy now
Yuh never know yuh shy when yuh leaned up pan di bwoy front?
That's just normal, and it never mean nut'n
Sureeeeee.
"Hug har up and kiss har again. Hurry up before me pee pee up mi self," She said to us.
"Why yah gwaan like yuh shy now?" Kassauni asked me. He slipped his arm around my waist and I looked up at him, smiling shyly.
"Me nuh shy," I muttered.
"Ah, jump up den nuh," He said.
"Jump up?" I asked, confused.
"Me ago lift yuh up and we take the picture. Last picture me a take to," He said the last part loud enough for Renae to hear.
I allowed him to lift me off the sand and I locked my ankles around his waist. Both of his hands held my butt as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. He leaned in and kissed my lips, this time I was ready for that.
While I was expecting just a peck, he had other ideas. He deepened the kiss and I sighed, tightening my arms around him. I followed his lead, running my fingers through the back of his grown-out curls that twisted around my fingers.
"Me just want uno know seh me still deh yah and me ago pee pee," Renae said, laughing. I pulled away first but he didn't let me down.
"Me ago bathroom now," She said, handing him the phone before running off.
"Put me dung, now," I said to Kassauni.
"Who yah hide from?" He asked, looking around.
"PDA is not really my thing," I told him.
"Not mine either, but there's a first time for everything." He sat down on the sun lounger with me now on his lap.
"People ago look eno. Big people too," I complained.
"Nobody barely deh here, Rosalia. Relax," He said, laying back to look at the pictures. I grabbed a towel from the chair and wrapped it around my waist as I leaned forward to look at the pictures with him.
"I like that," I said as he looked at a picture of me.
"Mhm," He hummed, deleting the first 30 and sending them to his WhatsApp and then he did the same thing until they were all sent before handing me my phone.
"Yuh nuh feel nuh way if me post them?" He asked me
"Where?" I asked, looking at him.
"Me status. Me nuh really post Instagram story like that," He told me, typing away on his phone.
"No problem," I said to him, deciding to do the same.
Wish mi could'a turn off the replies cause mi know who ago slide up. I posted one of myself, the one where he grabbed my throat and kissed me, and the last one where he had his arm around my waist.
Renae she don't easy, 'cause we never ready fi dah one deh, but it look nice.
Clicking on Kassauni's status, I watched the ones he posted this morning and I stopped when I saw a picture of me, blowing a bubble with the bubblegum when we were at the entrance. Although I didn't get a lot of the curvy physique from Mommy, I still had something going on for me.
Slim waist, likkle batty, and mi flat belly.
Shape good, slimazzz. Talk truth!
"Me wah on picture when yuh sidung pan me same way suh," Kassauni said, moving his lower half.
"Stop do that," I said, hitting his chest. He put his hands on my ass and slapped both cheeks, making my eyes go wide.
He bit his bottom lip and smirked at my reaction, not moving his hand at all.
"Yuh know seh something wrong wid yuh," I said to him. He hummed, unwrapping the towel from around me.
"Come nuh. Take the picture, first me a ask," He urged, picking up back his phone.
"Who ago take it, Kassauni?" I asked as he slipped his hand up to my waist, feeling the dimples in my lower back.
Mommy mi get dem from eno...
"Lean up the phone pan the juice bottle," He said to me.
"If me do it, promise yah go— go in the water with me," I bargained. He nodded.
"Yeah, come take it now," He said, setting up his phone.
Batty look big inna dah pose yah. Mi affi go start sidung and take picture...
"Press the camera button, nuh," I said to Kassauni. He pressed it and I posed, watching the timer count down before the picture snapped. I took two just to make sure.
"One more, but me ago sit up," He told me, sitting up and putting one hand on my ass, grabbing it.
Think him nuh know weh him a do
"Yuh head nah show," I said to him after the picture was taken.
"Push the bottle back likkle bit," He told me and I did that then he kissed my lips.
I quickly grew comfortable and allowed his hands to roam my body. When the picture was taken, he pulled away and sighed before lifting me off his lap. He stood up and grabbed his phone, putting it in the back before zipping it shut.
"Ten minutes. Not to far inna the water because me iPad ina mi bag and mi nah buy back anymore," He said to me.
"Alright," I said, walking towards the water.

Later than night
~ Back At The House.
"Tonight, we nuh haffi go nowhere. Mi seh, mek we keep we owna dance, call it, 'Sit Down Pon Mi Cocky Sunday', Hunt's Bay cyan lock da one yah off, you nuh need no permit fi fuck me" The speaker played the song loudly and Renae giggled.
"Yuh cya slow dance, Alia?" She asked me.
"Yes, change dah song here," I said, picking up my cup and drinking the last of the liquor inside.
"Which song? A next Dexta Daps?" She asked, walking over to the TV.
We're both drunk and we all got back to the house—here in Ochi. I had never been drunk before so I didn't know how good it felt. A bit carefree but I was having fun. Renae and I have been dancing and drinking the entire night.
"Armanii, FaceTime. It deh pan Kassauni playlist," I told her. I licked my lips and went to pour more apple vodka into my cup when a large hand came over mine.
"Yuh nuh feel yuh reach yuh limit, Mama?" Kassauni asked me.
"One more. Please?" I pouted and batted my eyelashes at him.
"How much finger me have up?" He asked, holding up his fingers. I looked at them and blinked, rapidly.
"Um, four," I said, laughing.
"See, yuh drunk. Don't drink anymore and me serious," He said, lowly.
"Please? Last one, and I won't do anything bad," I said, wrapping my arms around his waist.
"Likkle while a pan yuh head top yuh did deh," He pointed out. I sighed and folded my arms across my chest, pretending to be upset.
"I was just dancing and having fun. If you give me the last drink, I'll give you a lap dance," I bargained. He raised his eyebrows, amused.
"Eeh?" He asked, pouring something into the cup before giving it to me. I smiled, widely.
"Thank you," I said, turning the cup to my head and gulping down half the content before frowning.
"A juice this. Come nuh," I whined, pushing the cup in his direction.
"Gimme the dance first. The juice will be the payment," He said to me.
"Okay! Renae play the song," I said, finishing the juice before pulling Kassauni back to the chair he was sitting on.
He sat down and I straddled his lap, sitting directly on his crotch. He raised his eyebrows and played both hands on my hips. The song started playing and I slowly rotated my hips on his lap.
"Come mek wi f**k inna di meanwhile, p**sy gud mi lef a mark— Mi neva senile. Cyaah guh in, yuh oil it up an' tell mi retry, nuh waste time—Come siddung pon di steel pipe now. f**k yuh mek yuh scream like wow, sing fi di killa high notes—c**ky aguh in har throat daa dah dee daa dow" The song played through the speakers, and wined to the beat, wrapping my hands around Kassauni's neck.
I'd occasionally grind on him, pressing my lips to his neck. He was enjoying this... As much as I am.
"Yuh know weh yah do, eno. Stay deh," Kassauni said. I smiled sheepishly and kissed him.
"Suh call mi wen yuh really want girl, call mi wen yuh feel fi bawl. Seh di word an' mi reach yuh fast, girl— yea yuh know mi need yuh bad. Suh call mi wen yuh really waah, call mi wen yuh feel fi bawl. Seh di word an' mi reach yuh fast yea yuh know—Mi need yuh bad, need yuh bad."
Kassauni's hand slipped down to my ass, rubbing it and I bit his bottom lip. He groaned and I could swear I felt something pressing against my thigh. As soon as the song finished, he stood up and adjusted his shorts.
"Me have sum'n fi show yuh. Come here," He said, taking my hand.
"Me wah the drink first," I said, feeling as if I was about to throw up. He ignored me and pulled me to the bedroom, closing the door behind us.
"Gwaan go sleep," He told me.
"No, me wah the sum'n. You promised," I said, feeling a nasty taste in my mouth.
"Too much fi the night and mi nah tell yuh again. Come wash off yuh foot and go sleep," He demanded. I pouted and he picked me up before leaving the room.
When we entered the bathroom, he closed the door and turned on the shower. I went to take off my blouse but he stopped me, pulling it back down.
"See how yuh go take up weh yuh cya manage? Put yuh foot them over the shower and rub them pan the tile," He instructed.
"You do it to," I said, stepping over the shower. I staggered a bit and his arm slipped around my waist.
"Rub yuh foot pan the grung," He said. I leaned against his chest and smiled.
"When are you going to ask me to be your girlfriend? I bet you asked your other girlfriends earlier than you did me. Do you not like me enough?" I asked, sadly.
"Mi nah answer yuh," He said, lifting my foot to wash it.
"Right, because yuh just a play wid me, don't? What's the point?" I asked, feeling my eyes sting with tears. I sniffled and he looked at me.
"Rosalia, why yah cry? Me tell yuh a thing aready, and mi nah answer nuh question when yuh drunk. Yuh nah go remember," He said to me.
"Tell me now. Why haven't you asked?" I looked up at him and he sighed, licking his lips.
"Eventually I will. You deserve perfection and it takes time to reach that. Stop ask now," He said. I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Okay. My head hurts," I told him as he washed my other foot.
When he finished, he picked me up and brought me back to the room. As he pulled the comforter over my waist, I sat up quickly and leaned over, vomiting on the floor. Well, I think it was the floor. I wiped my mouth and turned on my side.
"Bomboclaat man, Rosalia!" That was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep.
