knocked twice and waited for a response. "Hi, stranger," I said with a smile, looking at Shan. We hadn't spoken in a while, and I wanted to check in on her. Since it was my day off and I was bored, I didn't mind chatting with her for a bit.
"Hey," she replied, sounding unenthused. Shan was usually cheerful, so her tone seemed off.
"Mi a disturbing you, or are you having a bad day?" I asked. She shook her head, leaving me unsure which question she was responding to.
"Just checking up on you; haven't heard from you in a while."
"Mi good," I nodded, feeling a bit awkward.
"Glad you're alright." I took a step back, preparing to leave, thinking she might be having a bad day and didn't want to be bothered. But then she spoke up.
"Talia, come inside." She widened the door, and I felt confused but entered anyway.
"You never seem to be in the mood." I commented, taking a seat.
"Nuh too long awake," she replied, heading to her kitchen.
"Maybe I'm too early then." It was already past noon.
"You alright man." I watch her pour milk into her cereal.
"Why mi nah see you around lately?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.
"Mi stay over at Stinga's yard," she replied, sitting beside me.
"Oh, everything a gean good wid uno same way." I said, noticing her frustration. She rolled her eyes and hissed her teeth, making me regret asking.
"Him wah mi kill him before him kill me." Her response caught me off guard.
"Maybe uno need some space," I suggested, unsure if that's what she wanted to hear.
"Best believe a deh so we reached now," she replied, her tone firm. I didn't come here to hear about her relationship problems, it's a trigger for me and I would rather distance myself from issues like that.
"Wah day me and the boy deh there a talk and a enjoy each other company. Then out a nowhere him phone a start ring, every minute. As the call nuh go through the person call back the phone same time." She shook her head, recalling the incident.
"The way me fool, mi a think seh a your man a call him and cah get him, because them close." My eyebrows raised slightly.
"Who is that?" I asked, feigning ignorance. She rolled her eyes and continued her story.
