Sometimes things happen for a reason.

My mother always told me that.

But did that said thing have to be Milando's wife making breakfast for him when I woke up a few minutes ago?.

I woke up late for work but nobody can penalize me for it, I'm entitled to give myself a break once in a while, plus I needed the few hours to sleep in.

Not that I anticipated the arrival of Dreya, I wasn't at all surprised when she showed up with Ashley last night. I had to take my extra hours for what I'm about to be dealing with.

Dreya is tall, model tall and she's prettier than I remember her to be. She has a perfect physique compared to my little frame.

But who am I to compare myself to anybody when I'm fine as fuck and I'm better than everybody else?.

Tuh, as if mi ago have low self esteem because she a top model.

Mi can be model to.

With my astound expression, I stopped myself from walking any further into the kitchen. I turned on my heel to walk out only to be stopped by her.

Bumboclaat man!.

She couldn't see mi and nuh see me?.

"Oh Shelly is it?", she calls out.

I turn to look at her with pursed lips.

"Don't you start working a 9 o'clock?".

"Yes and?".

She narrows her eyes at me, "you're late for work".

Make mi lick har nuh please?.

"Actually, I'm entitled to my hours of sleep and I work-....".

I give her a look when she cut me off. Whew, see cause ano fi har nor Milando signature deh pon mi bank statements, mi nuh owe dem a thing.

"You work on the time you're given to work, such incompetence will have you fired".

A wah do dah gyal yah?.

A who she, afta mi naah work fi har.

"Who ago fire mi?", I loudly ask.

"Fire who?", Milando asks from somewhere behind me.

I felt him stand directly behind me.

"Oh good morning love, I made you breakfast", Dreya beams at him.

"Who yaah fire?".

She feigned an innocent look, "I was only telling Shelly here that she should be on time for work".

Who the fuck name Shelly?.

A petty she a try be petty?.

"Who the fuck name Shelly?", Milando asks her, "a Kelly she name".

"Oh, then why didn't she correct me?".

I moved which caused Milando to grab the back of my scrub top, he held me in place then addressed her again.

Mi will tolerate him big crawsis muma but mi nuh owe no obligation to him wife!.

Him know mi wuda swing pon her if mi did reach over deh.

"Why were you calling her Shelly in the first place and why are you making breakfast, she's in charge of my meals".

"I found this in the gym and thought I'd take a look".
