"Aunty, me tell yuh already seh me nah talk back to da man deh" I kiss my teeth, huffing as I throw myself down on my bed.
Michelle love pick up after Samson too much.
"Him a yuh fada Sarai, your only living parent..."
Please don't remind me.
Dem kinda sumn deh mek me bawl.
"Yuh can please just try fimi? Me a beg yuh" she pleads, and I can tell she's close to tears.
Chro bombo.
"Mi nuh like when unuh cuss over trivial stuff"
Trivial?
Michelle, whose side are you on babe?
You're starting to lose me.
I roll my eyes, gently rubbing at my temples as I search for the words to respond to her.
"Aunty, yuh know me love and respect yuh, right?"
I really do.
She was the closest thing I had to a mother, and she's helped me so much over the years after I lost my own.
"Mi know Rai, and mi love yuh more baby"
I smile at her words, half-regretting the stress I was causing her.
Dis shit isn't personal.
It just is what it is.
My father had just crossed too many lines for any of us to come back from, or should I just me?
I would hate to speak for my brother and my mother's daughter.
"Samson is someone who I will never respect again," I tell her truthfully.
Him and Sevana just alike.
Evil and conniving.
"Especially after him bring dah Jezebel inna mi house fi disrespect me, me lose offa di bredda completely" I explain frustratedly.
My attention is shifted away from the call, when I pick up on the sound of a car entering the yard outside, my ears perk up immediately.
Who a come up yasso dem time yah?
Nobody nay call me bout nothing...
"Yea me talk to him bout dat already Sarai, but him stubborn certain way enuh"
Her voice trails off in my ear as I stand up from my bed, pushing my body up off the mattress and onto the floor.
Dis nah sit right wid me, who outside?
