It's finally Saturday and Del's on his way to ma house so I can drive us to the airport. Jane is going with us too, just to drive ma car back here.

I booked us a lot of stuff to do so I hope Del likes it. We gone be staying inna house i own by the beach so imma be swimming all day and night.

It's been too long since Ive been in the water.

I grab my suitcases and set them by the door as I hear my auntie coming down stairs.

"I can't believe you leaving me." She walks up ta me, wiping fake tears making me chuckle.

"Dey grow up so fast..."

"Auntie we been through this too many times to count. I've been to Jamaica so many times without you." I shake ma head.

"That don't mean I get used to it!"

I sigh patting her shoulder, "you gone be good."

We hear the doorbell making me turn and answer it, being met by a tired Jane and excited Del.

"Make no since how we had to wake up so fuckin early." Jane rubs her eyes.

"Del couldn't stop talking the whole fuckin ridee." She rolls her eyes. I laugh at the look on her face.

Del smiles spotting my auntie behind me, going to give her a hug. She bear hugs him actually tearing up this time.

"Hey auntie." Jane waves once they finally finish their hug. Mainly cuz ma auntie would not let him go.

"Hey ma babyy!" She wipes her tears swiftly going to hug Jane too.

"So yall ready?" Jane says once ma Auntie lets her go.

"Yeah, we needa be there in an hour-30 and the car ride is one hour." I say.

"Alright I'll be in the car," She walks away and to the car, "sleep!" She finishes making me chuckle.

Del rolls his eyes at her remark, "ain't dat serious, she could be excited I'm leaving the state fa the first time."

"Yall betta be safe out there, Del please take care of Ray." My auntie turns to Del. She acting like imma kid still.

I appreciate and love her but damn.

"Yes auntie, you know we safe. I'm here after all." I say confidently and hear Del snorts beside me like sum funny.

Even though I can't bring ma gun on the plane for obvious reasons, I still got some in Jamaica.

And still, guns ain't the only thing I fight wit.

"Well ion wanna hold yall so get going. I'll see yall out." She smiles.

Del grabs one of suitcases making me stare a him. He looks back wondering why I'm not following him.

"What?" He gives me a confused look.

I just glance at his hand then back at him. Del realizes and lets go of it, huffing slightly.

"Thank you." I simply smile taking it and we both head to the car.

I put my two suitcases in the trunk as Del transfers his things from Jane's car to mine.

Once we finished we get inside and I start the car.

Del waves to my auntie as we drive off and Jane is already knocked out in the back.
