"Yuh crazy?" Tristen asked looking at me.

"Babe. . .just cooperate nuh?" I told him pouting.

"Mi nuh know wah mi did a think when mi decide fi cook wid yuh."

We reached at his house at about 30 minutes ago. Him ask mi if mi waah order food or cook. Suh mi seh cook. Him did ago cook by himself and mi suggest the idea of us cooking together. The look on his face was so unsure after a while of me convincing that I could cook, he skeptically agreed.

Now here we are.

"What do you mean?"

"Bredda how yuh fi put the rice innah the meat? Wah kinda foolishness that?"

"I saw it on tiktok and I decided to try something new." When I said that he looked at me and started to bite his lips.

"Waah try something new upstairs?" No man, a wahmu to him. Every thing fi him sexual.

I glared at him.

He shook his "Yuh know wah do yuh thing just doh ketch the place a fire. Mi ago get some shuteye."

I looked at him dumbfounded, "But I thought we were cooking together."

"When me agree to that?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

I let out a huff and rolled my eyes. And here I thought we'd have a little moment.

"Yuh know seh mi doh like yuh? A doh like yuh. Gwaan bout yuh buziness"

He look pan mi with a "really" Look. Think him did aguh stay but him leave.

See why mi nuh like men.

Watch how mi aguh Strangle him when him a sleep.

"Mi? Fraid a yuh!"

A joke girl. Jeez. But is it bad that I'm actually considering it?

"Okay now mi think sumn wrong wid yuh upstairs."

Mi let out a loud laugh and then turn back to what I'm doing.

Although mi not even know weh mi a do. A hope to God innuh spoil. Meeda shame tho, come a man yaad a cook and the food spoil.

I sulked while looking at the man infront of me laughing. Pan e grung the man reach, all eye wata a come outta him eye.

"Too nuff." Ayye all yuh betta stop e noise innah mi head before mi haffi get dawk innah this.

Tristen composed himself and stood up. He then made his way over to the stove and open the pot. He looked at the content and mek up him face.

"A wah the bloodclattt this?" He asked trying to contain his laugh. What a man extra?

To how mi shame mi can't even mek a comeback.

"Poor thing."

One minute pass and him nuh done laugh. Mi want a refund. Come tek unnuh man.

"Jokes on you, a yaah wash up e plate them suh stay deh akikikiki." If mi did know seh saying this woulda shut him up meeda seh it long time.

"But babe ion wanna ruin my nails." He said in a girlie voice, if a did waah Otha time him did seh this meeda laugh but now? True yuh devu know how mi feel.

"But watch yah? A mi mek yuh spoil the dinner? Yuh coulda vex till God come it naah guh unspoil." Him told me laughing.

"Ohh myy, a cry yaah guh cry?" Tristen asked with a hint of humour in his voice while making his way over to me.

"Just leave mi alone nuh." I mumbled out.

"B, yuh know we can order food right?" 

"Mi neva waah order outt. . .mi did waah cook, look how mi waste e ingredients." I said sniffling.

No man, a muss pregnant mi pregnant. My emotions them all the place.

"Suh how me neva know seh yuh start sex?"

"And me'll buy them back, although e funny still nah guh lie but a yuh first time yuh can always try again. Caah seh mi neva tell uh stillz." Why mi did know seh that did ago come?

I was about to reply when I was cut off by the sound of someone knocking on the door.

"A coulda who that now?" Tristen asked while going to answer the door.

I could hear the sound of distant talking until it started getting closer. I looked to see who it was and found that it was Maliek. Know how long mi nuh see him.

As he spotted me, a look of confusion crossed his features.

"A wah yaah do yah?" Him ask.

"Oyee." Tristen said.

"Mi nuh mean that innah no way. A jus that Trini seh she did a have sleepover ova yuh place suh mi check seh yuh did aguh d deh." Maliek said explaining himself. Know how long mi nuh hear dah name deh or see the person.

Sounds like smaddy a get bun. But why she haffi use my name? Why she couldn't use the dry head gyal name.

Mi let out a laugh "Mi? Mi and her nuh talk." Mi did aguh talk to her affa the dry head gyal incident but then when she call up mi name to Tristen mi nuh badda. Wah more red flag meeda want suh?

Afta mi nuh frighten fi fren.

"A wah the bloodclattt yaah seh to mi?" He asked getting upset. Yuh can see it really affect him cause dem yah man yah barely show emotions.  I avert my gaze to Tristen who was there watching everything. He probably felt my gaze on him and he looked at me smiling while mouthing the words "Woman a wikid."

A muss that a fi him favourite word. I rolled my eyes and turned attention back to Malik.

He was now typing away on his phone.  I see him shook his head. "She naah ansa e video call dawq."

She definitely upto sumn. I heard him dialling and the call connected.

"Oyye, a weh yuh deh?" Malik asked calmly, mi know him nuh look calm.

"What yuh mean babe, mi tell yuh seh mi a have a girls night wid Karalana." What a gyal lie? A did suh she lie? Nosa.

"Really, suh explain to mi why she a sidding infront a mi right now." Saying that the line went silent. Fucka yuh.

"Why yuh deh beside har Malik?"

"Badman, tell mi weh yuh deh. Yuh naah ansa yuh video call and yuh turn off yuh location. Trinika a swear fucking with me is the last thing yuh waah do, yuh nuh know mi?"

I didn't get to hear her response cause  he walked away.

"Yeah man yuh fass to much."

But still mi did waah hear wah she haffi seh.

"Well invested innah the people them business tho?" Tristen asked approaching me. Mi still vex wid him innuh but meeda laugh to suh.
