Malikai
"She's perfect, Capri, congratulations." I smiled at her. Muma look frass out! Mi can just imagine how much pain she guh through. The blonde wig well mash up, though to be fair all of that nuh mek she look any less happy right now. She just a smile suh!
Ollie was by her side, Capri and Miss Maeve were right at the opposite end of the bed, and me deh addi door, leaned up, arms folded, just taking it all in.
"Imma have to agree with Kai, this lil girl is gorgeous! Look at all those lashes!" Ana beamed and it made me smile. Just her mentioning my name and acknowledging me was a huge improvement from the plane ride and journey here.
She bex, understandably. Meeda feel the same way if the tables were turned. But weh mi fi do? Mi nuh know nuh real friend who woulda mek dem friend lose everyting...who wouldn't wol, and just try fi counsel. Mi talk to Ollie, mi talk till mi weak, mi talk til one-day mi jus' say fuck it! Mi have too much pon my plate, too many people pon payroll fi a worry bout Ollie and who him a fuck. It just is what it is.
"Fava you and Ollie yuh fret," Maeve croaked on the brink of tears. "No man, blessed is the Lord who made this possible! Carrying mi daughter and her daughter through labour healthy and strong!"
Lawd Gad ya now wid the preaching, Maeve.
"Talk chute!" Mi hear beside me, only fi look and see Lincoln. Ana's eyes darted toward the door and mine moved to hers. Everyone's eyes were at the door now, and a bay teeth.
"Bro, you made it!" Capri grinned, sounding like she bout fi cry to. Relax, Capri a just yuh fassyhole bredda...and Anashé's ex. I felt my jaw tense up, as him walk right past mi and gone in to greet everyone.
"Good to see you, son!" Maeve grinned and hug him up."Lawd I hope she nuh get the tall gene like her uncle."
Capri's eyes brightened and Lincoln laughed.
"Relax Capri,"
"Yeah, cause mi wah know if my genes nuh count fi nuttn." Ollie grinned and Kissed Capri's head.
Ana's eyes moved to Ollie's and the look pon her face was a terrible mask of her anger. She was smiling, but it nuh look suh believable...or maybe a true mi know she a try. But baby girl needed to be less obvious...she needed to try harder.
"Yuh tall too, still!" Capri laughed at Ollie. "Anyways, tall or short she's perfect."
"I'd have to agree with you, sis," Lincoln smiled. And I couldn't help but look over at Ana who was smiling at him. My jaw tensed...wol it G.
"Hey, Anashé," He smiled at her, still hugging his mother. No, this man nuh just walk past me and not even acknowledge mi and then a talk to mi ooman?
Wol it, Kai...
"Hey, Lincoln," She grinned. "Or should I say uncle Lincoln?"
Him laugh. Dah man ya a wah? Fuck him a laugh suh fah? Mi stand up, firm, taking my mind someplace else. Mi cyah watch dem smiling at each other...especially when she nuh smile with me since fucking Anguilla!
Think bout supn else— yeah, the party. The 13 million dollar party that makes me twenty times that every year to split between myself and investors. Focus, Malikai...
Man cyah handle this shit enuh.
Can't mek woman shift me focus.
Not even my Ana.
Anashé
Me bite mi tongue suh til it feel like it wah bleed to shit! Seeing her so happy today, Kai was right...I shouldn't ruin it, so I didn't. It's been a few days of her resting and getting acclimated with motherhood. Miss Maeve even moved in with them to help. Ollie's mother is there frequently as well. Everybody's just so happy!
