I naav no time fi this enuh.

It's been one month. A month since Scamma gone a the place mi put him pon the Boulevard. A two room apartment Ollie and I Co-own. A neva much, but him affi just lay low desso fi now. Him can't go home, so little Sj is there wid him, too. Keisha fawud too...she nah leff Scamma side. A good girl.

Biggs nuh try nuttn wid me yet still. Suh them good.

But mi know dem man deh. People nuh just leff gang suh and nuttn nuh happen, especially not Biggs' little enterprise. Dr Lass had the audacity fi go round me and a work with Biggs. Have the A-town man dem a work inna the hills inna him weed farm. Him guh roun mi wicked, wicked. Suh, since a dat a gwaan, him get drop and replaced. The only thing is, mi did affi do it fass to not Interrupt business supply and demand. I needed someone to run my weed facility. Someone who knew the game...knew their herbs and the only person that was coming to mind was Toni-Ann. A part of me knew this would be a huge issue for Ana, because Toni was an ex. My one other serious relationship, and muma in her forties but you can't tell. And Anashé may not beat me when it comes to jealousy, but mi know she ago feel a way.

Mi kiss mi teeth. Nuttn neva happen round me yet that I didn't have a plan B for. Always so fuckin careful, but fi some reason mi couldn't see not a thing coming. Biggs been a fuck around, Sabrina been rass slow and Lass was always in ova him bomboclaat head, but mi couldn't see this...

Too much shit a gwaan right now. I'm just trying to keep all my investments functioning optimally. Cut off who fi cut off and mek sure my last semester goes as quickly as the rest did. Mi need fi leggo UWI now...it nah do nuttn fi mi right right now. A di only investment where mi naggo see immediate returns.

At least me get one supn out of it.

Speak of the angel, nuh she this a call me.

"My favourite person, what's up?" I smiled. "Everyting good?"

"Yes, babe, just finished my third class for the day," she sighed.She sounded so tired.

"What day is it? Thursday nuh? Suh you have one more class then you can come over," I should probably add a disclaimer, "I promise to actually allow you to sleep. No funny business." She know mi likely struggle nuffi hurt it up, but she need fi sleep. She been tired this whole month. The PhD proposal have her a way, the teaching, marking assignments and on top of that she does this volunteer thing at Cassava Piece. Mi nuh know how she reach dung desso, inna gully! Right now they're having a concert for one of their members who needs financial assistance for their renal failure treatments. So, the saint she is, she's down there these past few days helping out. Plus, she is still writing fi my mada. Mi tell her fi tap...but she talking about how it'll look good on her resumé. She's worried about a resumé as if being with me she's gonna ever have to work. I mean, she can if she wants to, she needs to know I got her covered, though. The woman was incredible. But...she need fi memba that she's human, too.

She need fi sleep!

"Yeah, babe, going down to Cassava Piece later, " she yawned. "Then I come by you."

I bit my tongue. Don't tell her nuffi go... bill.

"Ana, you're tired, you can take the night, go in the morning."

"No man, I need tomorrow just for me, so I'll fight it out tonight,"

Man, she stubborn inno! ...she lucky she's adorable.

"You think I should keep driving GPP down there?" She had concern in her voice. I smirked, shaking my head. You buy a woman a BMW and she names it 'Good Pussy Problems'. And the worst part bout it you affi acknowledge the name when she a talk inno!
