°°°°°°°°°°°°°°"Yuh nav nuh yard?" He asked as he rolled the car window down and was staring at me. I knew why he was acting this way, it was because I was standing there talking to a coworker who was a guy and he hated when I talked to any males other than Kj. "Come inna di car an nuh piss mi off."
"Later Jonathan." He waved and hurried away before he got out to openthe door for me. When I was safely inside the car, he got in and I put my seatbelt on. "Y yuh suh disgusting?"
"Work done now enuh suh wah unnu could a ave fi a talk bout suh?"
"None of your business."
His hand grabbing my thigh caused me to look over at him. "You are now my business suh get dat straight."
"Suh yah guh get upset with any male yuh si mi talk tuh?"
"As a matter of fact, mi a fire him tomorrow."
"It's not that serious." I pushed his hand off me and turned away from him.
"Hey." He put his hand back and I ignored him. "Mi nuh like wen yuh ignore mi suh stop duh dat." He squeezed my thigh but I didn't say anything and he sighed. "Ah nuh seh a word." Him think a suh di world work? It okay if him ignore me but not if me ignore him well, him lucky.

"Wait nuh, yuh just impatient. Yuh neva hear dem seh good things come to those who wait?" Him an dis patience ting like him anuh di most impatient person besides myself that I know.
"Nuh tell nobody dat cause yuh nuh know what it takes to be patient."
"A style ting? Alright." He picked up one of the cake tins and put it in the oven before he put in the other and I closed it.

He initially wanted to do a cheesecake but I didn't have all the ingredients and he knew that but didn't stop to get anything so we settled on a chocolate cake that I had picked up a couple weeks ago but never got around to making.
"Yuh happy now?"
"Y yah deal wid mi suh?" He asked as he followed me out of the kitchen and into the living room. "Iyana?"
"What Nasir?"

"Gwaan guh duh weh yah duh an leave mi alone nuh." I didn't expect it when he plopped down on my lap. "Get up offa mi, yuh nuh light enuh sir, what is wrong with you?"
"Kiss mi an mi get up." I looked up at him to see that he was serious but I was at a loss for words. "A joke man." He said chuckling as he got off my lap and went back into the kitchen.
