"Weh you plan fi duh?" Pulling the chair from my desk, Dad takes a seat sparking up a conversation.
A groan comes from me and I pull the sheet over my head sighing.
Closing my eyes, I try to go back to sleep.
"Maleek" He stresses and pulls the sheet right off me.
Clenching my jaw, I slowly sit up in the bed placing my back against the headboard behind me.
"Weh yuh plan fi duh? Yuh plan to go back to school or what?"
"Mommy nuh seh she nah send mi back dad" Gifting him a sly smile, he looks away chuckling.
"Mi nah joke with you fam. You need fi change yuh ways bro. Mi nah guh always deh there fi defend the shit dem weh yuh duh." I nod at his words and move around my hand searching for my phone.
"I will take today and go back tomorrow." Pausing, I open the email and sigh.
Moving down the bed, I hand him my phone allowing him to read the email.
"Corcho?" He questions lifting his eyes away from the screen and I nod.
All Inna retirement Corcho a mek sure him mek things hard fi mi at bar.
Just affi hold out fi 8 more months after that is a big suck yuh daddy mi a send to him email.
"Before mi guh, weh else yuh duh that them nuh call and tell mi yet?" Scratching my head, I look away smiling.
He sighs and lowers his head, handing me back my phone.
"A just the start a September Mal"
"Fi once other than the tattoo and the earrings. I haven't done a thing" I lift my hands in the air.
He stares at me his eyes almost fully sunken in their sockets.
"Yuh good?" I ask and he runs his hand under his nose sniffing, he looks beyond tired.
I guess it isn't easy being 50 and raising 5 children with 2 who act as if they are 5 in one.
