After another interview I try to navigate my way in the corrupt Jamaican System.
My normal day to day routine was simply home, work and church.
Life had other plans for me after one free drive with Mr. Mysterious, his exotic life and dangerous n...
Feeling the car come to a halt I open my eyes thinking I am home, to my dismay I am at a stoplight in Discovery Bay.
One ting, mi ago sleep
As I hear his deep chuckle, he turns to look at me, attempting to mask his laughter with a cold demeanor, but his eyes betray the amusement lurking beneath the surface.
Immediately I chuckle also.
"We aren't there as yet" he voiced
Slightly nodding, I dig through my bag in search of the unfinished Granola bar from this morning. Pulling it out I see that it is finished.
This nuh cute
Driving past all the restaurants and resorts I crack the window a bit to feel the cool breeze beating on my face.
Retrieving a half empty bottle of water I began to drink.
He then reached down feeling for something but his hands came up empty.
He looks at me to speak but nothing comes out, he refocuses his eyes to the road.
With his eyes still on the road he gently instructs me to look in the glove compartment.
"What exactly am I looking for" I asked looking aimlessly. I see a sealed bottle of water, a pack of gum and a box.
"A sealed bottle of water, is it there?" retrieving the bottle I hand it to him.
He stares at me for a second, "it's for you"
With my mouth forming a small 'O' I whisper a thank you.
"Why are you applying for a job so far out of your reach Miss?"
"I will be staying with a relative here if I get the job. Trying to make ends meet you know. Yanique "
"Understandable" he nodded
"Are you hungry?"
God a you tell him seh mi hungry because mi hungry bad but mi cya Mek it look suh
"Not really" I spoke, he gifted me a blank stare.
Something about his eyes, phew.
"Are you hungry Yanique?" He asked again.
"No" I voiced suppressing my hunger.
He heaved a sigh, shaking his head and chuckling softly.
The car was silent after. The breathtaking view as we maneuver the streets of Discovery Bay, the bright lights and the vibrant people.
Vendors on the side of the road selling roasted peanuts, roasted yam, jerk chicken, jerk pork and so on. Turning my head away I close my eyes but suddenly the car comes to a slow halt and he pulls over to the side.
"Are you allergic to anything there" he questioned.
"No I'm not" I quickly responded.
He nodded stepping out of the car. As he passes the headlights, I get a better view of his outfit. He is dressed in a white or cream turtleneck paired with navy blue pants, accentuating his slender physique.
The contrast of the light against his attire highlights the sharp lines of his silhouette, adding to the mysterious allure that surrounds him.
His demeanor exudes an air of danger, yet there's an underlying sense of kindness that peeks through the facade. It's a fascinating blend of contrasting qualities that keeps me on edge yet intrigued.
As he moves with purpose, his every action seems calculated, hinting at a depth and complexity that both intimidates and captivates those around him.
Watching him communicate I chuckle because he also uses hand gestures. It makes him look cute.
Uhm..
Watching him buy some of everything, my eyes wander to the vendors as they all laugh with him and he leaves them with a hefty sum of money before making his way back in the vehicle.
"Here you go" he says handing the food to me. Telling him thanks then I place them in my handbag.
Cya eat ina the man car
"Aren't you hungry" he asks, checking his mirrors before pulling back on the road.
"Yes but I can't eat in here-" I respond before he cuts me off saying "Don't worry about the mess, just eat" he glances at me.
————————-• We are almost in Runaway Bay and I am enjoying the view of the night life and the food.
Now and then he glances in his rear view mirror.
"Is that a blue or purple car behind us" he asks before pausing
"I'm color blind" he added
"It's a blue Honda Civic with blue rims and a black spoiler" I said looking in my mirror.
Nodding, the car fell silent again.
Feeling my self drift off to sleep again I try to stay awake.
After fighting for a while I let sleep consume me. —————————————-•—————————————
