May 31
10:30 a.m.Getting out the car after parking under a mongo tree in the yard. I walked over to the front door.
Standing on the doorstep, I rang the bell, anticipation building as I waited for Stacy to answer, The familiar surroundings of the yard brought a sense of comfort.
Nostalgia enveloped me as I stood there—memories echoing in the familiar surroundings, resonating with the shared laughter and moments of the past.
Nobody responding after waiting for a while I rang the doorbell again this time she answered.
"Coming." She yelled out, few seconds later the door was opened, she stood infront of me in damp clothes clinging to her, adorned with clothespins like makeshift accessories.
"Shanice?" She called drying her hands in the already soaked shirt.
"The one and only." She smiled coming to hug me but paused mid way.
"Did aguh hug uh but me wet up Suh Neva mind, come in ya." She spoke moving to the side so I could come in.
"Suh a wah mek uh finally decided Fi visit ee, from wah day uh seh uh soon come visit mih." I heard the door closing behind me and her footsteps approaching me.
"Ye mih Neva ave e time Stacy uh know dat, plus Avier did come ova yessideh Fi pick up Mara mih mind did run Pon uh and since me free right now. Me seh me woulda come look Fi uh." I responded honestly, she walked off into the kitchen area signalling for me to follow her which I did.
"Yeh Avier weh dem did gan again fette?" She quizzed taking out a cup from the glass cupboard.
"Something like that me hear Amara seh." I shrugged taking a seat on the high chairs that were placed around the counter top spaced out evenly.
"Them kids deh, doh know when them aguh finally start date." Stacy said and I let out a low chuckle.
