Nickoi call me over just fi sleep pon me...

He still doesn't tell me what happened to him. He's just sleeping, or so it seems. I stare at him curiously.

I know I heard him sounding a little, it's weird to say, but I know I heard his voice break over the phone.

So mi feel a likkle seggs wi dida go get...

Apparently, not.

Zara you no real?

"N'jai?" I jerk backwards and look towards the door when Outlaw burst in.

He glances at me.

Shifting on the bed I stare at him. I'm seated against the headboard, Nickoi's head on my lap face down.

Outlaw looks at him but ignores it.

Shit.

Mi feel awkward say him a see we like this.

But o' well...

"Him a sleep," I say in a calm tone.

He doesn't seem to care. He reaches for him in rage.

"N'jai lif' up!" he slaps him.

"Why you a slap him like that?" I snap, not caring about who I'm talking to.

Don't beat up mi man.

Chro.

Nickoi stirs, I feel the wetness on my thighs. I doubt he was drooling. He looks up at his father, his eyes dark red.

"Wah kinda foolishness that yuh text to man phone?!" Outlaw shouts.

Huh?

I stare confused.

"Mi ask yuh if a you do it," Nickoi speaks through gritted teeth.

"Me?" Outlaw is so irate, his eyes are pitch black.

Yet Nickoi seems worst.

"Anybody do dis a get it and me nuh care a who," I furrow my eyebrows, I can't believe my ears.

Wah Nickoi really a say to him father?

"Weh yaw try say?" he's amused. Not in a good way.

He repeats, sounding even worst.

"Anybody weh do this a get it," Nickoi's eyes fixed on his father's. He smiles, then he looks up and it disappears. "Believe."

His father doesn't sound or look like him which is scary. Usually it's the opposite. Outlaw is stunned. Nickoi seems so different, so cold. So venomous.

"After me tell yuh fi fix up yuh circle?" Outlaw narrows his eyes. "That make sense?"

"You say a thing and it gwaan right after," Nickoi's voice harsh.

Wait, huh?

I'm so confused right now.

A wah this bout?
