Turning on my side to answer my ringing phone, it stop as soon as I take it up.

I'm feeling much better than I have since week, so I plan on washing and visiting my father later because Tess will be all the way in Christiana until tomorrow evening.

My phone rings once more and Jermaine's name pop's up on the screen.

"Hello." I answer, before the call ends again.

"Tami, yuh really a sleep Suh late.. ya fawod a dads later?" He asks.

"Yes, can pick me up please.. I'm going to lend my ride to Tess since she'll be going far."

"Alright, you can ready by after 2?"

"Yeah."

Na worry wash then.

He hangs up shortly after I tell him later, and I struggle to sit up on the bed.

Mi feel old yuo.

"Tessann." I call out.

She opens my door and stand in the walkway, brushing her teeth while wrapped in a towel and a shower cap covering her freshly styled hair.

"Think you ready." I say, getting up then stretching.

I move past her to the restroom as she nods her head no.

"Soon leave?"

"Yeah," she answers before rinsing her mouth and leaving the bathroom.

I sigh in annoyance as my phone rings once more as I'm brushing my teeth.

Suh all of a sudden mi number popular Ina everybody phone.

"Tess pass that for mi please."

"Here, bae is calling." She smirks

When I hold the phone up to my face, I realize it's a video call.

Look pon the big stupid smile Pon mi face tho god!

I remove the bonnet off my hair and fluff up my curls to make myself look less scruffy.

"Hello." I answer.

"How you take so long fi pick up?" He asks, pulling a hoody over his head.

"Nothing, why you wearing a hoody? You cold?"

He nods before stating, "It's the AC."

I grin, "Turning it off would be the easy fix, but then you'd get hot."

"Exactly."

"So what you doing today?" He adds, while I lather my face with my cleansing soap.

"Going to spend the rest of the day with my father, you?"

"Nu sure, probably check mi mother later."

I laugh at what I'm about to say, " Yuh mean ya go feature her pot."

"Which is right. " He chuckles.

I laugh then wipe my face and walk to my room to search for something to wear.

We talk while I scan through my drawers for something appropriate then I come across the shirt I had on in the picture and hold it up to the camera.

"This mi ago wear." I tease.
