"Yah laugh," I say seriously as I start on my second plate of food. All three more me one wi shell dung.
"Yuh been love yuh belly all wah gwaan," aunty laughs as she watches me with a smile. I love her.
Even though moving to Kingston put me into a lot of drama and depression I'm glad she took me. She changed my life in so many ways.
I never thought i'd make it this far. I was going to kìll myself.
That house was sooo toxic. And my other aunty, Keisha, the one who I was staying with before aunty Marcia. She used to make her husband touch me inappropriately.
He used to "back his fist" over my naked body. Squeeze my breast and my ass. He even fingered me.
And while he never raped me that still scared me.
Snapping out of my head, I continue eating my food. This taste tf good!
While I don't remember my mother, my aunty told me countless amount of stories about her. Saying she was a good cook.
It rum imma di family too.
"Mummy mi cya leff Ty wid yuh fi a week?" Jayden runs down the stairs to ask.
We decided to come look for her today.
"Anytime a my grandbaby dat enuh." She says and i smile.
Zeer school a lock tomorrow a hope him know seh a right ova yah mi deh sen him.
"That's why mi love yuh enuh," he kisses her check.
He looks at me. "Dis yah greedy one yah? Two plate a food Zyra? Do betta." He starts laughing and i continue eating, not minding him.
When Jayden ready fi nyam all six plate a food nobody nah seh a ting to him enuh.
"Leave mi niece and gwaan cause nobody doh greedy like you." Aunty comes to my defense and i smile.
"Suh him always do mi man" I say then take a sip from my juice.
"A gang up ting?" He chuckles and I shrug.
Soon after he leaves the room and me and aunty start talking about random thibgs.
