"Zee, weh yuh deh?" Gio calls out my name. "Mi deh inna eh kitchen..." I shout back, with the little voice I had left.

Mi nuh wah hear ya complain bout no effect of you and Gio a fuck like unu a rabbit.

Shortly after he enters the kitchen with a spliff in his mouth.

Fucka love weed.

Gio stood there leaning on the kitchen counter, looking at me from head to toe with seductive eyes.

Hell to the noooo to the no, no, no.

"Stop look pan mi so." I say to him in hopes of shutting down whatever sinful thoughts he was having at the moment.

"Look pan yuh how? Wah ya try seh... Mi cyah look pan mi oman again?" He raises his brows at me.

"When did we ever discuss me being your girlfriend?" I ask him shocked about his confession.

"Leff di girlfriend ting to likkle bwoy, chargie... Ya mi oman and me a yuh man, yer." He says, moving to one of the barstools. I don't answer him, busy making a berry smoothie.

What a way to ask... Neva the way mi envision it-

Di man propose to yuh real nice wah more yuh want, lady?

A true... Mek me be thankful unto God and bless his name cause me nay haffi get such a proper proposal...

Amen!

"Nay hear mi ask yuh a question?" He asks from behind. I place the fruits in the blender and grab the Greek yogurt.

"Mi hear yuh." I say to him still not giving him my full attention.

"Badman, turn round and ansa mi. Mi nuh wah a chat to yuh back." I roll my eyes at him, thankful that he couldn't see me.

Ye man cause yuh know how that ago turn out...

I hesitantly turn around to face him. "Wah ya seh now..." He says with a pleased expression.

But ketch yuh father my subconscious says sarcastically.

"I said I heard you." I repeat myself.

"Ah mek sure and lodge it inna yuh cranium too... And nuh fuck yuh self." He warns with a serious expression but cracks a smile a the end.

It didn't look like a genuine smile. More like Doh-fuck-wid-mi smile.

Our little discussion is interrupted by his personal phone ringing.

Yes, I know which one is is personal and business phone now.

Stop gwaan like it did hard fi differentiate my subconscious chimes in, unimpressed.

Way to burst my bubble.

It really wasn't hard to tell... His personal phone was an iphone 14 pro max, while his business phone was a 14 plus.
