"Mi always did know u like me from a longer time eno, but u just too shy fi say it. Mi nuh shy fi tell you seh mi like you tho." He whispered in my ears as the scent of mint and Appleton Estate liquor that he was drinking hung in the air, attacking...
Sitting in my Mercedes-Benz GLE, I watch her intently as she gets out the car with her friend laughing like there's no tomorrow.
Oh.....suh you back in town?
"A who dis man?" I say to myself frustrated as I feel my phone in the pocket of my pants vibrate.
I get even more upset when I see the caller ID.
INCOMING CALL: ~SAMANTHA~
Kmt.
"Wahm?" I answer.
"Suh you naah come over again tonight?" She says in an attempt to being seductive.
Hearing that, I instantly hang up the phone.
"Caah manage fi get nuh distractions right now." I say to myself as I continue to look through the car window, watching Kelci-Ann and her friend as they enter a nearby store.
I hiss my teeth again when I feel my phone vibrating once more.
Oh a Izzy.
"Yo?" I answer.
"Blaise, di man dem a seh a $500,000 dem a charge we eno, suh mi a link u first fi hear weh u affi seh bout dat."
Mi raatid.
"Half a mil fi wah?! Likkle drugs? My yute tell dem keep eh bredda cah eh come like dem demself a sniff eh drugs dem a day time." I say in irritation.
Mi ave money like crazy eno don't get mi wrong, but half a mil? Fi likkle powder? A joke ting?
He laughs. "Ah mi bad charge, naah fi seh nothing else."
I hang up the phone.
Before stepping out of my car, I put on my grey pullover and take out my wallet from a bag I had on the car seats at the back.
I slid it into my pants pocket.
Finally stepping out of the car, I see couple girls eyeing me as I walk towards the store Kelci-Ann and her friend went into, but I didn't even bat an eye at them.
They're not.
Her.

I quickly walk to the isle directly beside the isle they were in, also ensuring that my hoodie is pulled all the way over my head.
"Girl mi seh you shoulda see weh she did a wear, mi seh mi laugh till mi blue, mi all feel like mi did squeeze out a likkle pup to mi nah lie."

Oh yeah, Ryanna she name.
"Alright, alright mi ago stop, mi did see some cake mix ova da isle deh wen mi come in suh mi ago tek up some fi wi mek tonight a we sleepover. Wah flavor you wah?" Ryanna asks.
"Carry two vanilla and a chocolate come."
"Alright."
With Ryanna departing, I took this as an opportunity to walk up behind her as she continues to fill the tray she was holding.
"Missed me?" I whispered from behind.
She immediately turns around. "Jesus!"
After she catches her breath, she took a step back to closely analyze my face and realizes it's me. She immediately starts to blush.
"Blai- I mean Aiden....... Hi." She says trying to put her words together.
She lets out a deep sigh.
Oh?
She still likes me. Good.
"What are you doing here?" She finally manages to say.
"Wait, a man can't shop at a store anymore?" I say jokingly which causes her to laugh.
"No that's not what I meant. Just saying, I didn't think this was your kind of....... Never mind." She blushes then looks down.
"So..... mi see you here suh, does that mean your back? For good this time?" I ask. Mi deven wah she leff again cause eh just nuh feel right wid out har here.
'My yute nuh you ave a ooman?' My subconscious asks.
Yeah but we nuh deh again, dat a di past bedrin, Ann a mi future.
She blushes again. "Yes, I am back for good this time, mi a stay wid aunty Vivian cause remember mommy nah talk to me since weh happen di time." She looks down playing with her nails at the thought of her mother.
Pon a real level dah ooman deh nay did affi do har suh ino, even afta wah happen. But dat caah happen again cah wah? Mi deh here fi protect har, dats right, my time now. I say to myself proudly.
'Bredda, she a not even you ooman.' My subconscious states.
"Shet up." I fire back.
"I'm sorry?" Kelci-Ann says.
Shit mi seh dat loud.
I quickly mask the realization expression on my face by asking: "Weh yah do tonight?"
Fi tell you di truth a long time mi wah ask har dis and mi nuh ashamed fi sait.
"Umm.... Ryanna and I are having a sleepover."
Kmt. She caah cancel dat?
"Alright. Wah bout tomorrow night?"
"I'm...... not sure, is there something you want to ask me?"
Right when I was about to answer, my phone rings.
I take a few step backs to answer the call to prevent her from hearing.
"Talk." I answer.
"Blaise, a Pablo." Rick says. The sound of his voice somehow makes me know what his call is about.
"Wah happen?" My anger begins to boil.
"Him dead."
The only words that caused my whole day to go down the drain.
"The man dem find him a Denam Town park in a wah ditch wid him head split ina two." Rick continues.
"Ah, meet me a we spot, tell eh man dem seh we ago have a meeting some time tonight, no excuses, every man fi deh deh." I hiss my teeth and hang up.
"Is everything okay?" Kelci-Ann approaches me with worry plastered all over her face.
"Yeah man mi good, you can give me a answer by tonight."
I walk pass her making my way over to the exit and I all I could see is
Darkness.
Somebody affi guh dead.
