Mi walk out a the closet dressed to see Promise still laying there waiting on me. Mi lay dung pon har chest, breathing in her smell.
She smells like me. Yow the b have me a way eno.
"A my shirt this yuh have on?" I asked.
"When yuh done tell me wah happen yuh can come tek it off." She replied, annoyed.
Watch how me ago fuck out da attitude yah out a har likkle lata, make she gwan ramp wid me.
"Gwan show off yuh self." I said, sitting up next to her.
I checked my phone to see several messages from Trigga, Shotta and my dad. Me devn badda look pon them, me done stress out already.
Me put me phone pon the nightstand and let out a sigh.
"My dad keeps calling me." Promise spoke softly.
"Answer him."
"I don't want to until I know I will be able to answer the questions he's going to ask." She looked at me, pleading.
I looked away.
Me need a minute. Me devn know weh the fuck fi start.
"Why is Cash dead?" She asks, not wanting to wait.
My eyes shot up to meet hers again. "How yuh know that?"
"Just answer the question, bredda."
Bredda? A who she think she a talk to suh.
"I killed him." I said plainly.
"Why?"
"Because him did ago make things really difficult. Can-," I stopped, wanting to choose my words wisely so that this didn't end in a fight, "The girl, him put har up to it. Him use har, fi play me, fi play pops fi money."
"Me did already kinda figure she did up to something before yuh even ask me bout it, but wid everything weh did a gwan, me did just stop medz it. Me just neva would a imagine it would a be something like this. And me neva would a think him did behind it. It tek some thinking before me start put two and two together."
"Thinking?" She asked.
"Yeah. I was waiting on couple a me dawgs them from over Land, and me a think bout it. Me ketch har a go through me phone one day, me find one mic inna the car when me and Shotta drive fi come pick yuh up the other day. A the same car me always have har inna." I explained to her.
She gave me a look. I ignored it.
"All a it did just make sense, I knew it had to be her. Me nuh walk up and down a chat to gyal or man and have dem up inna me car."
She gave me a look.
"Promise nuh badda wid it," I said quickly, "Anyways, me figure a she. But me couldn't understand why. Weh she would a get out a putting one mic inna the car. Me know she mad but it still neva a add up." I stopped.
"That's where Cash falls in?" She asked. "Him put har up to it. But why? Him work fi Daddy. Wait..." She said.
She was putting it together. Just how I did.
"Yeah." I shook my head, confirming her beliefs. "Cash neva give a fuck bout my fada, your fada. Cash name Cash fi a reason; cause him love money like dog. And him dead just like one."
"It gets worse." I told her.
"What do you mean?"
So I told her. I explained to her exactly how Candy explained everything to me and I told her exactly what he did to her. I told her how Stinga killed Cash. And by the end of the night, Promise neva inna the mood for anything else except sleep. Just like me.
- I hope you guys enjoy, and I hope you don't hate me. 🩷
