One thing bout me, me ago do things pon last minute.
Tomorrow is my 25th birthday, and today I've decided to take care of all the preparations.
I'm getting my nails done, picking up packages containing the clothes I'll be wearing - basically, tying up all loose ends.
But at least i ain't doing it alone.
"Make me taste dah one deh," Sashawna said, extending her arm to me, gesturing for a taste of the Strawberry Cheesecake Krispy Kreme donut that I had just taken a bite from.
It can gwaan.
Maybe a just true me nuh fancy sweet things.
I hand it to her and she tore it in half, taking a bite of one of the halves.
Dejanae watched her with concern, seeing as though this is the fourth donut she has ate so far.
"Yuh stomach nah ride uh?" Deej asked with her face scrunched and i laughed.
Mi seh!
If she never say something, she nuh name Deej enuh.
"No. It taste good. Me nuh know a wah unuh did expect from donuts. Of course it affi sweet," Sashawna replied nonchalantly, meanwhile, I took a swig from the water I bought, quenching my thirst.
"So other than fi go the shipping company, Zay, and change we money into US currency, wah else we have fi do?" I asked, glancing at Deej and Sashawna who pondered over my question.
Sashawna continued eating, deep in thought, "Hmm me nuh know. I think that's it. Bwoy mia tell yuh. Fi girls we always unorganized enuh. We affi do better. See all Daniel ready and me nuh ready," she said, a smile playing on her lips as she mentioned Daniel's name.
I smiled in response, happy to see her speaking about him more.
I then glanced at Dejanae, trying to catch her reaction as I spoke up, "True, and even Michael ready too mi love. We nah gwaan wid nothing," I added, emphasizing the name, hoping to gauge her response.
Dejanae maintained a straight face for a while, followed by a hiss of her teeth, "Yuh can gwaan wait pon me fi say something yer. Me nah look pon the two a unuh," she stated causing Sashawna to burst out laughing.
"Why yuh dweet jancruh !? Worse a only three rooms so we affi go split up couple wise. Murdaration! A me fuss a reach a airport tomorrow cause me cah miss none a dis," She interjected and we both laughed, making a mockery of Deej.
Make me leave me future sister in law alone yaa.
Deej hissed her teeth once again, keeping her eye in the Krispy Kreme box, "Me wonder if unuh know say me can and WILL pay fimmie owna room. If unuh feel unuh ago play cupid, unuh have a next guess coming. Memba a who addi coach fi dem game deh," she said and i laughed, impatiently waiting for tomorrow to come.
