Captured

Smitten

Pretty sure everyone knows that when you're on vacation your day starts at dawn, it's law. 

I was up before the roosters.

I made myself a cup of coffee and enjoyed the cool morning beach breeze from my balcony, not long after I decided to go for a run, I hadn't done that in a while, not since, you know ...yeah that's the last time I remember doing it but it always frees my mind so this should help with everything I have going on.

After a few laps around the beach or I should say from one end of the beach to the next the sun starts rising, I take a minute to really experience the horizon, simply breathtaking, wow, I'm still in awe by this beautiful country and property.

I soon started brainstorming new ideas for curls and cares, going over all the possible outcomes of my actions, should I go back to America or stay in Jamaica, I started thinking about my family and how much I miss them, can I even effectively run a business from a whole different country, should I just open a new one or should I do pop-up shops? What to do Shanice? Help me, lord. I need answers.

"Now as far as me no u ano mawning smaddy so wah yaa do out yah so early?" My dad's deep voice jolts me from my thoughts
"Ave some things pan me mind, me need ansa fah plus when uh deh pah vacation uh affi get up early"
"Wah deh pah uh mind now? A di white buoy wah just appear in uh life so all of a sudden"
"Well"
"Mi nuh know when him come from a convince u say uh in love , wah really a gwaan Shanice, uh need fi tell me, how uh go from wah live a Jamaica to boom uh wah gaa America, is a anda Andrew situation dis?"

"It jus appen daddy, we nuh meet inna the best way but him treat me gud, him support me, him unda stand me, me neva plan fi fall in love but it jus appen, an dis ano nthn like Andrew, me kno uh might nuh trust me judgment inna man rite now but uh always tell me fi falla me heart an a dat me a do, life short, me kno me shoulda introduce unno long time and ting but we in a two different country and uh always busy a work"

"Shanice dat is no excuse, alla dis a move too fast, uh nuh ready fi a jump ina nthn yet"

"Me kno uh nah gud like dis rite now but, him ask me fi marry him so him can help me with -

Ofc u say no, dat is ridiculous, uh deh a merica less dan 5 months wah kinda love u find so quick? Dissa man nuh luv uh an how him a ask fi marriage wid out mi permission? I don't care if uh married ten time befoe mi need fi meet him, uh madda need fi meet him, wah appen to courtin' how unno yung ppl jus jump in a tingz so, dis nuh seem like u at all, wah really a gwaan?

As I sat there talking with my dad I realize a lot of the things that he was saying weren't far from the truth I've never really seen Daniel with my family I don't know how they all mesh together but it's not hard to get along with my family either my dad is overprotective I know he wants the best for me,
Daniel is nothing like Andrew and yes the relationship started the most unconventional way but it all ended up working out, I am the happiest I've ever been.

My dad is upset because he hasn't met him, and he doesn't have an opinion of him he didn't ask for my hand in marriage but also when he asked he didn't ask in a love way , he just asked to help me out so I'll be able to stay in America and take care of my business. It's the same way he's been helping me with leasing a space so i can even have a business, the way he's been helping me out with ........ everything.

I'm torn, Should I go back to America and marry the love of my life ? I know I'll never lose my family but I also don't want my dad to resent me, not that i ever think he would but ....I don't know

I'm really getting to finally live the life that I've always dreamed of , 10-year-old Shanice is having a ball right now, sis is getting her happy ending, she's getting the business that she's always wanted and she's just living life to the fullest I don't wanna disappoint her but I also don't want to disappoint them.

"Daddy d ole marriage ting is jus so me can stay inna America, yes we luv each Otha but dat ano d main reason rite now, maybe if u meet him u woulda undastan"

"Yes me definitely waa meet him so set it up, mi nuh kno wen uh wah dweet but befoe uh marriage him meksure d fambily kno him,"

"Alrite, me wi set it up"

"Now cum on caz uh kno fi uh madda wake up a ready an a try mek breakfass even thou d chef dem up deh"

My dad was right when we got back to the Villa my mom was in the dining area helping the staff, i know they didn't mind but i just wish that lady would learn to relax, she always has to be moving or busy. 

"Breakfast is ready Shanice, guh wake everybody up"

"Yes ma'am?"

Kev: mi hear Smadi seh food"

"Alrite long gut, weh uh ooman?"

"She a cum man"

"So uh couldn't wake everybody else?"

"No, mi kno betta dan dat, especially wid tia & tam, d ppl dem can slp thru a war,mi nuh deh pan dat Breda"

"Shut up & come help me wake dem"

"Guh get a Dutchie and a big spoon"
