Kam's pov:
We finally pulled up to Tricas house and we're 30 mins late.
Apparently its my fault and I totally disagree because if Shane didn't ask me to change my heels to a strapped up slippers then this would not be the case.
We stood infront of the door bickering.
"Dont mek it seem as if a me mek we late" I whisper yell while brushing down the orange dress I had on.
"A u wake up late n tek yuh sweet time eat the likkle cornflakes wah did ina the bowl" he kissed his teeth.
Right after he finished his sentence the door opened revealing a smiling Kerri.
I smiled and streched my hands out to hug her. "Heyyyy boo" I kissed her cheek.
"What's up baby" she smiled. "Nosahhhhhhhh pregnancy glow fit di dolly" she looked me up and down.
I laughed and swated her hands away from my shoulder.
Kerri stepped aside to let us in and I happily walked in.
"Where are the others?" I asked
"Round a back" I nodded and sat around the island counter.
"Yuh bring mi baby?" I asked
"Nosah mi lef him with her grandmother"
"Pickles in the fridge?" I asked as Shane sat beside me.
Damn bwoy dvn have no manners. Nuh even tell Kerri hi.
Kerri nodded and walked up to the fridge to get them.
I nudge him with my elbow and he glared at me.
"What?" He whispered
"Guh seh hi" I kissed my teeth.
He shook his head. "Sup?" He asked when Kerri placed the jar of pickles infront of me.
Mi know mi use to eat pickles before I was pregnant but now that I am, I eat them 25/8.
With peanut butter.
"Deh ya mn how it feel being a first time dad?" Kerri asked
"Mi feel happy yf. One down 5 more to go" Shane smirked
I almost choked on the pickle.
My head snapped in his direction. Before I could answer him mine and Shane's mother walked inside the kitchen.
"Daughterrrr" my mother dragged out and walked over to me.
"Hey mommy" I shoved the last bite of pickle in my mouth and stood up to hug her.
"U and these damn pickles" she laughed and hugged me.
"Mumz tell her fi stop eat it cuz her breathe nuh too 100 after" Shane skin up him face.
I looked at his mother as tears came to my eye.
She slapped him upside his head and pulled me into a hug.
"Hush yah, dont listen to him your breath smells just..........um- fine" she smiles at me.
"Its not my fault that I love pickles and that my breath stinks after eating a whole jar!" I cried out.
"Yuh want food? We have food. Rice and oxtail" my mother tries to cheer me up.
I nodded and dried my tears.
I glared at Shane "unu run him out" I said to no one in particular then walked into the living room.
I turned on the TV and went to netflix.
