My Safe Haven

Chapter 1

"Deja see yuh a leff yuh umbrella yah!!" My coworker shouted as I walked out of the supermarket where I worked rushing to reach the taxi stand hoping that there was a car out there that was going my way.

I lived further in the community on a hill and as soon as 7pm touches the taxis stop driving the distance.

"Watch yah an rain black up out here enuh" I said watching as she ran out with her things in hand ready to leave also.

"Den a how yuh a run like yuh thief supm so gyal?" She stopped and gave me her bag to hold while she put on her white nike pullover.

"Nuh Mr. Monroe him a come bout him waa see mi before mi leave. Jerome deh home tonight so mi caa stay long an if him see mi him ago hold mi back and mi caa tek problem" she explained while smoothing down her ponytail.

"Anyway mi ago mi ago see if mi see dah bwoy deh out desso cause mi nuh plan fi pay nuh fare tonight, later good gyal" she wave while taking out her phone walking in the direction of her taxi stand.

If you didn't pick up Shanice and our boss Mr. Monroe who was also a married man was having an affair. Not to mention the fact that she have fi her soldier man deh, but because he only goes home on weekends and sometimes he got during the week, she could do as she pleased without him suspecting.

She said Mr. Monroe gave her money and he loved to eat the buff and her man wasn't into those stuff and according to her she loves that even more than penetration. So she'll happily be the side piece as long as she got her little dividends.

I shook my head and continued walking hoping to God whatever taxi out there wasn't gone as yet.

None was there but someone said one was coming back soon so I wasn't worrying, I was just tired and hungry from a long day, ready to curl up in my bed and sleep.

After waiting for about 20 minutes a taxi finally came and I was on my way home. I felt like passing out already just thinking about my bed.

I got home to see the lights were on and figured my aunt or cousin was home. I paid my fair and heaved a heavy sigh as I walked up the steps of our little 3 bedroom board house.

Both my aunt, cousin and I have a very rocky relationship. Matter of fact we barely even have a relationship, we barely even spoke to eachother.

I can say I never thought our relationship especially me and my cousin's to reach to this point but yuh really affy expect anything these days.

After we got to highschool we both went our seperate ways considering we were both interested in different people and different things.

Kera became your typical pretty ghetto girl. No motivation to make it out, party every night, only wear clothes that shows her ass and print and dating the top scammer in the community.

And God did bless her with the shape to match the face so she was really a lot of ghetto youths dream but if you couldn't afford to buy her $50k wigs and Bridgettes then you definitely couldn't even see her underwear so she normally stick with the scammers.

I walked in to see Kera and her boyfriend Remy dry humping eachother in the couch while basically swallowing eachother's face.

Den fi see how the two a dem mouth raw like stale meat.

"Evening" I said as I closed the door walking pass heading to my room.

"Den a wah mek yuh a skin up your face suh like yuh smell shit" I heard Remy say as I walked by them going straight to my room.

"A so she gwaan man like she forget say she not even have a piece a board inna her name an she can come out anytime."

This was a regular occurrence most times, Kera always reminding me that I was only 'kotching' here and didn't own anything here.
