The same day
Saturday, January 11th

I stand in the parking lot as I watch the cars go by and people going about their business.

You could see people walking around and some rushing to get home as the evening soon comes to an end.

I heave a sigh and take my phone from my hand bag. Going to the phone app, I search for Jahnoy's number.

Time fimi get wah car and learn how fi drive enuh.

Him fuss mi a call cause mi want him buy mi food cause mommy nuh cook pon Saturdays.

Plus she a come home late today so mi would a just buy food fi everybody.

I click on the call icon and place the phone at my ear.

"Ypree" He answers in a gruff tone.

Why him affi sound so?

Eh man just dawk and fool fool.

"Boy please" I reply with a small laugh. "We both know that's not how you talk".

He chuckles "Weh yah say now" He say in his normal voice.

"Mhm dat mi a talk bout" My feet start walking on their own. "You can come pick your little sister up please?" I ask him in a innocent voice.

"A time fi yuh learn how fi drive enuh cause man anuh yuh chauffeur" He rudely comment. "Weh yuh deh?" He then ask.

"Yuh rude I'm a passenger princess and I'm at work by the way" I answer him.

"Cuh yuh dutty bloodclatt to bout princess" His laughter booms through my phone speaker "Yuh fava mi foot back". He continue laughing.

"Nuh worry" I say ready to hang up. Mi cyaa tek shame enuh but love laugh offa people.

"A joke mi sista"He sober up from his laughing fit. "Mi nuh deh your side right now but mi ago sen smaddy fi yuh just listen out fi the call".

"Alright later mi call yuh" I reply pacing the parking lot.

"Ahh nuh say forty" He hang up.

Like how him say mi fi listen out fi call mek mi take a walk go out a town fi see if mi see nothing weh mi want.

I greet the security on my way out and start to walk on the side walk.

Wait lemme see if my pookie is off work. Checking the time on my watch, it reads 5:15 PM.
