"Me nuh know how yuh can drink Campari, yuh brave enuh likkle girl" Melody gags, scrunching up her nose.
I side-eye her, rolling my eyes playfully as I refill my clear plastic cup.
"Me back broad, and me heart strong" I attest, savoring the strong liquid as it hits my tongue.
Walking over the large ensuite mirror, I can't help but admire myself, proud of the final outfit product.
Watch Lai good body mada!
The birthday fiascos were beginning, and a night that began with Campari was sure to be good.
"Cyrus ready fi we yet?" A voice belonging to Harmony calls from the doorway.
We lock eyes.
Good question.
"Umm, him nuh link me from evening enuh..." I tell her, locking down on my phone at the time.
Cyrus offered to host my birthday party at his club, free of charge.
Well, of course.

"Look how yah stress yuhself lady" Harmony chuckles, walking over to check out her reflection in the mirror next to me.
"Tonight is about good vibes only, you're twenty-motherfucking-four, pretty and fine as hell!" she praises, "Yuh man love off yuh body, God bless yuh wid di prettiest likkle baby girl...life is good baby"
"And that's why dem nuh like yuh, cause a you seh blessed and highly favored," Mel chimes in, clapping her hands together.
