Loving Young (Completed)

2• For the love of Plants

 
 
It takes only three weeks for the house to be completed.

All that's left was the interior of the bathroom, tiles for the floors, painting job and a full clean up. Then for furniture we don't buy or have built as yet.

With Kylah's company, since everyone is out working, I'm doing yard work.

Making a flowers and herbal garden around the perimeters of the wall Jehlan's father built for protection sake.

Mainly because he caught someone stealing and won't tell his son or I who it was.

A only time before wih find out.
 
 
"Come a plant bush inna bush." She remarks and I glared at her. "A true."

"When it grow and yuh si the difference it mek inna dih place yuh go know." I ignored her, sticking more pieces into the loose damp soil.

It's a mixture of Euonymus and boxwood.

The best plants for edges and shaping to our liking. I went as far as to dip the nice size rocks in daddy's white paint and hid them.

Now they're out, decorating my home and I only need few solar garden lights to top off the look.

As for the entrance, I've already added bougainvillea and another vine type ones for the arch.

It took the entire morning to tie the flimsy bamboo sticks to the wall and to make the arch.

I just need to keep watch and to make sure the flower vines grows in the way that I want it to go.

I don't know if Jehlan will like it, but it's worth the try.

I even added flower pots that we had to make trips to bring here.

The one opportunity to stay home as no one was around, I'm glad the time wasn't wasted. A lot of work was done.

Pothos, moth orchid, dumb canes, Jade plant, swiss cheese plant, sago palms, aloe vera, cactuses, peace Lily, orchids, English ivy, white gardenia and colourful hibiscuses.

"Yuh plant eh tea bush dem good eh." She said after a while.

"Yuh remind mih bout dem good eh." I frowned at her.

"Mih tired mon. From morning yaa wuk mih and wih nuh eat all now." She complains, holding her stomach.

"Wih deh pah fasting." I joked.

"Ehh." She glares at me then looks towards the road. "Sound like a truck a come in."

"Mih naw move." I groaned, picking the dirt from my nails. "Need the energy fih walk guh home."

"Mih muss sleep like baby tonight." She yawned, getting up. "Go wash mih hands."

"Ah."

I leaned against the wall and looks around at the work I've done. Definitely overworked myself.

It's almost like I'll have no use to my body after this.

An just like Kylah said, a truck was coming and it drive right in through the opened gate.

Behind it is a familiar car, Mister Gunn, Jehlan's father.

But it's them both, looking out on me.

He got out and approached me worriedly.

"A who beat yuh?" He laughs.

"Work."

"Wahm'n tu yuh phone?" He asked, inspecting my pink tender and dirty hands.

"Battery died."

"Look how yuh overwork yuh self mon." He looks at me visually upset. "A from morning yuh deh yah?"
