"Kyng a ask mih if yuh have a boyfriend." Zuri pulled me aside to ask.
"Eh?" My eyes widened and she nods.
"Wah mek Gio a full yuh up wid hickey suh." She frowned. "Yuh put on some pon him tu?"
"Of course."
"Right." She says and looks at my neck though I've bought some makeup to cover them up. "A him did a call yuh?"
"Yeah. A everyday thing cause it seems him too lazy fih text." I frowned.
"A dat ya duh. Him call and yuh reply by texting but him still deh galang." She laughs when I nod. "Si yuh bredda deh come yah."
Zuri left me to deal with the ole rebel.
Kían is a mountain of a man like our father though he has more muscles than the older man. Six feet, half Indian curly hair, cool brown skin now aligned with scars inherited from his career path. His tattoos were the same just as when he left jamaica.
He's shirtless with a shirt drapes over his shoulder and his shorts upon his hip. The sight made me smile as he never wore it below as it signifies homosexuality as he believes.
My eyes connected with the tattoos on his chest, Raj, Kai-á, Kyng, and Krissy who is his daughter. He puts all the important people on there.
Looking further up to his face, the wicked grin slapped the smile off mine.
My eyes widened and I quick called out for help. "Mommmmy! Help!"
Mommy looked at us from where she stood and rolled her eyes, just when Kían's big hands found my neck and playfully strangled me as he always does as kids.
Faking a uppercut, his head flew backwards slowly and to make it even funnier, mummy's loud hiss rang through the crowd.
We rolled over eyes and moved away.
"You've been hiding." He has noticed.
"You've been speaking English." I acknowledged and he grins.
"If I'm on television so much I have to speak like this and be literate." I looked at him as if he was crazy. "A joke. Fawud."
We walked from the crowd and going through a familiar shortcut when his arm held my body in place as we walked side by side. I sigh at what is to come.
"You've been ignoring my calls for years. A suh wih did live bad?" He looks down at me as he says this.
"No."
"What happened?" He had to ask and I shook my head. "It best if yuh open up deh likkle padlock deh an chat."
"Wih a adults, Kían..." He made a move to pinch my mouth when I caught his hand, smacking it away. "Yuh brite eh."
"Mih naw tell yuh again enuh." He glares at me. The same look daddy has and I frowned, opening my mouth and spilled everything.
I even told him about Gio and Zuri's help through my depression.
The more I tell him is the more his expression changes. I've only seen him this emotional when I had gotten pregnant and told him before everyone else. Not of disappointment, but as if he failed me. Again.
"Right now mih just a pree fih build a house suitable fih mih an Kyng cause mih cyaw inna the likkle board house forever. The property big enough fih put a concrete structure on the hillside." We have reached there and I showed him the area. "Mih a plan fih ask Mister Palmer fih mek an estimate for the sketch mih have. Mih cyaw rob up suh much money an nuh mek use a the land mih buy and it's a reason mih nuh too chat or mek people know."
He looks up and back at me but I kept my head straight until he hugs me.
"Mih nuh like hug, bro. Yuh go mek mih cry." I tried pushing him off but it was no use.
I ended up crying for revealing even the things Zuri is unaware of.
After all that, he wanted to see the sketch I had so I took him to my house.
He looks around the little space before I passes him my sketch pad.
The whole thing is filled either drawings and ideas of these mini cabins and also my dream house designs.
"Weh ya duh?" I asked when he took out his phone.
"Weh yuh si mih a duh?" He snapped pictures of each page.
"A nuh sum'n fih..."
"Lock chat pah deh padlock mouth deh." He glares at me and I showed him my middle finger.
"Yuh jealous?"
"Never." He grins. "Suh yuh plan fih guh back a school?"
"Yea."
"Mih go mek a link and send the information tu yuh." He says, pocketing his phone and got up off the stool as he hands me the sketchpad.
"Yuh moving to the US with Kían?" Mommy asked and I looked at my brother since that conversation never came up.
"We talked but it's not permanent." He tells her.
"Why not?"
"She's going back to school and when she does come where we're at it's to complete a work program at a known restaurant there." The way her smile brightens, I wish I had shades.
"You're traveling Mommy?" Kyng asks.
"You both will." Kían (Ky-ann) corrects.
"We're attending the same school." Krissy grins to her cousin who is only two years younger than he is.
"She's working at 'The Monarchy'?" His wife gasped.
"Yep."
He looks at me and I nod.
I love the opportunity but deep down I know I might have to tell Gio if and only if we work out long term.
I was standing by the main road yesterday to collect something for a aunt as the family reunion was still going on. I was leaning against my cousin who volunteered to walk with me, and parked across the busy street was Gio's friend, Damari.
He saw how I was laughing, chatting and bothering my cousin as I wasn't sure how long he was parked there.
Naheim is a full blooded Indian so the way I was bothering him was due to the fact that his accent mixed with the English he spoke sounds funny to my ears. To him, my thick patwah was music to his ears and he kept recording me to show to his friends back home in India.
Naheim had his arm around my shoulder one minute and the next he was fighting to pop a pimple on my face. That's how our banner started as I switched from English to patwah to curse him.
That could be one reason Gio kept calling and ignoring my texts.
"Did she tell you she has a boyfriend?" Mummy blurted without a care and my eyes found Kyng's suprised look.
"I knew it." He whispered audibly.
"Mom." Kían acknowledges his mother who didn't seem to care or realize what she had done.
"What do you know about him because she tells me nothing." She said, sipping her drink.
"Because you just blurted it out like that." He tells her the truth and I kept my eyes on my plate, taking the dessert on the spoon and eats it.
"Sorry."
Too late, it means nothing because she doesn't mean it.
"Does he know about me, Mommy?" Kyng inquires and I looked at my brother while Mommy raised a brow. Inquisitively.
Saved by the bell, my phone rang and I thank God it was Zuri calling.
