I've stopped collecting money from Jehlan's family, though he still sends it through PayPal.Another thing I stopped doing was involve myself in any and every form of improvement being done on his house.
Sadly, the words Kylah spoke has gotten to my head.
It caused me to avoid home and to get an actual job at Aleyna's hair salon.
So when she needs help, I'm there.
Though my certificate for foods is put to no use, but I'm still young so I have enough time to further that practice.
The money I'm making is a little more than what I would've earned, and it's just the tip that counts.
Today's client is no other than my mother.
I'm braiding her hair and had the urge to slap her in the forehead.
Eh ooman come yah wid har gossip and a mek the other employees a hear mih business.
"Yuh fih come home and stop kotch up a people place. It bad seh yuh start eh house and yuh man a beg yuh fih guh home. Just gwaan nuh, an see how far eh construction deh."
I could feel the eyes on me.
"Mih already tell him mih naw guh back home until him come." I said stubbornly.
"A wish him could a kunk yuh from weh him deh." She hissed.
Shi a promote abuse fih har daughter.
Wicked ooman.
Laughing, I moved to the last piece of hair I have left to braid.
"Mih give yuh joke?"
"Yes, cause all me know is mih cooking unnu miss since unnu daughter cyaw boil water." I laughed till I felt tears coming.
"Shi can boil water mon, just fih mek ramen or throw it inna cup soup." She helps me laugh.
"Yuh bad enuh mommy. Yuh fih reach har how fih cook." I nudged her.
"Yuh know seh mih go ask yuh fada fih look up under mih if him si or find Kylah hand dem..."
I laughed, moving away as it sweets me so.
"Mih ovaries." I squealed.
"Ehh, yuh try use dem when yuh man come back."
"Bill nuh mommy. Mih still young enuh, and mih naw tek up what mih cyaw manage." Vibes bruk.
Mek mih come finish har hair.
"Mih manage you and Kylah just fine." She remarked.
"Puss and dog mih have the same luck." I looked her in the eye.
"Okay big ooman." She laughs. "Just know seh mih want a granddaughter after yuh get married."
"Wahm'n tu yuh mommy?" I frowned.
"Mih have yuh young and mih nuh wah turn nuh old grandma. Mih wah can tek mih grand pickney and have dem like a fih mih pickney."
I laughed and shook my head. "Betta yuh guh adopt Anna fatherless pickney mih hear seh shi still wah dash weh."
"Guh suck yuh mada an nuh come diss mih." She hissed loudly.
Laughing again, I know that will have her upset for a few days.
She grumbled till I was finished.
Laying her edges, a familiar Audi stopped outside the shop and a smile took over my face.
