Azriel Thompson POV
Friday, April 20th
1:43 pm

My smile broadens when I hear the squeals of Maleek before he bends the corner. My eyes widen when I see him sprinting down the aisle as Jamarion jogs lightly behind him.

When it comes to anything rude, Jamarion and him a partners in crime.

Stooping down I open my arms wide, allowing him to rush into them, enclosing him in my embrace, I rock him from side to side earning squeals of joy.

I stand lifting him as I side-eye Jamarion.

"Why yuh have mi baby a scream and a run-up and dung like him mad?" I ask him jokingly and a hiss comes from him.

"Yuh know seh mi get fi realise seh yuh love fi argue" He counters as she sidesteps me and moves around to face Maleek.

Maleek starts kicking his legs and I pass him over my shoulder to Jamarion.

"Why yuh never bring a trolley with you?" I ask him as I scan the aisle looking for the things that he normally buys.

"Yuh nuh see mi with the baby?" He asks in a mocking voice mimicking my voice.

A loud laugh comes from me and I quickly slap my hand over my mouth as he inches himself away from me laughing.

"Yeah, a suh yuh sound whenever yuh nuh waah do anything and decide fi use Maleek as an excuse" He continues and I walk him down laughing. The more I walk towards him the more he moves back.

"Ayee, stop walk to mi and mek people believe seh mi know yuh" He jokes and I stop forcing a glare.

I hiss and walk away from both him and Maleek as I walk in the direction of the trolleys.

Grabbing one I make my way back over to them. We spend the next hour searching through the aisle buying a bunch of things that we probably won't finish.

"Yuh know seh the day when ants move weh the house, mi nuh waah yuh open yuh mouth," I say towards Jamarion as I count the boxes of crackers that this man decided to buy for Maleek.

"Really Jam, him can really eat off 5 boxes that each hold 13 crackers in one box?" I question and he ignores me and continues to scan the dessert aisle with Maleek. Picking up everything Maleek points at.

"Jamarion" I stress and he turns his head slightly to look at me.

"You don't think it's too much ?" I ask him, pointing at the boxes of crackers.

He hisses and turns his back towards me.

He opens the door to one of the coolers and pulls out another pint of ice cream per Maleek's request.

Not once this a yah man yah nuh ask mi weh mi waah, yet the minute Maleek's eye even linger on something too long he picks it up placing it in the trolley.

"Azriel the crackers nuh expire till 2 years from now, suh all if mi waah buy the entire shelf him will have time fi nyam them off" He rebuts placing the pint of ice cream in the trolley.

I nod my head as I scan the aisle looking for the salsa sauce.

"Yuh tek up everything weh yuh waah?" He questions and I nod my head as I take up the last item that I have on my mental list.

"Yuh plan on cooking or do you want food?"

I turn my eyes in his direction at his question before rolling them.
