"One man nuh fih suh intimidating." Zuri hissed, looking through the racks of men clothing on display.

"A because him different than Balla and the Squaddy." I spoke truth.

"Who tell yuh seh mih want him?"

"Yuh might nuh want him but him probably want you." I said and she laughs.

"Balvin two years older than mih. Kawayne five years and when mih peep this man age from wah mih hear. Yuh want Uncle Vince and Bosey man fih crucify mih fih deh wid a thirty five year old." She shook her head.

"Yuh did a consider it?" I teases and she gave no answer. "Suh wah him duh?"

"US Veteran wah now owns wah huge security company. Mih cyaw lef scamma guh fuck police and upgrade to solder. Wah next?" She laughs out without a care.

The Indians in the store look at us with interest, inquisitive, and the sales clerk that's attending to us hid her laugher.

"Governor General." She girl whispered but we heard and I laughed but so did Zuri.

Zuri took out two thousand dollars and gave it to her.

"Uppa Pop fashion mih use to work and although mih get a likkle job upgrade, remember good go come your way. Yuh remind mih a mih self yuh ere, Nylah." Zuri says to the girl who nods.

"Mih like yuh vibes but mih think deh one yah a go har husband." I teased my cousin.

"It clear seh shi deh admire him already." The clerk added and I nod.

"Mih naw chat tu unnu." Zuri says, giving her the last clothing she picked up and took the other to the dressing room.

"Mek shi gwaan." I smiles.

"Wah age a yuh son, miss?" She asked me while choosing what I had asked for Kyng.

"Almost eight. Him bigger and taller than kids him age or even me in size, suh a wah twenty four..."

Her eyes widened I laughed.

"Ehh."

"Yeah, him thick and full a muscles." I grinned.

She couldn't believe her ears.

"A wah private school him guh suh him attend wrestling and self defense classes." She looks impressed then asked.

"Yuh nuh mind if mih ask yuh age miss?"

"Twenty three." I laughed at her expression again. "Yaa how much?"

"Twenty four."

"The world full a different people." Was all I could say then heard a familiar accent.

"Si him yah tu."

"Mommy?" He called through store.

She looks up and her eyes widened.

"A wah likkle man dat, miss."

"Yuh older than mih by a year and a call mih miss?" I teased her, watching as Kyng came over.

"Hello, Miss." He greets the clerk who just stared. Kyng blinked at her weird behavior and looks at me smiling. "Mom, these prices are ridiculously high and I didn't even see the type I wanted. I'll ask grandma to buy my size when she's coming this way."

"From Payless?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Why can't we just wear timberland boots?" He looks down at the ones he wore.

"It against the school rules and yuh probably kick dung sumaddy kill dem." I remarked, passing him the pants that the clerk took up.

"I fought one time, mom. If I had anger issues like that white prick then could you imagine all whom would be dead right now. It's a reason they have so much school shootings in the US. I fear for my life so yes, I'll appreciate these timbs for self defense." He teases me.
