Adding a finishing touch to my office décor, I strategically positioned the vase of aromatic freshly-cut roses that Malachi gave to me. I then stepped back with my hand on my hips, surveying my handiwork, feeling a sense of pride and satisfaction.
I bask in the sweet fragrance that filled the room.
"Mommy how dis look now?" I asked my mother, picking up my phone from the desk, and turning the camera to show her.
"It look nice. Me like it."
"Yeah a so me feel. Aye me coulda be a interior designer enuh. Me a waste me talent." I asserted, which caused her to let out a slight laugh.
"True me baby. Yuh get it from yuh mother."
I erupted in laughter when she said this, "Yeah right."
I then sat in my new comfy seat and listened to her speak about how life has been in Portland until she changed the topic to pry in my love life.
"So how Lennox? Good while me nuh hear from him." She asked, pressing start on her washing machine.
She then came out of her washer room since it'll be too loud and she won't be able to hear my response to her question.
"Him alright." I stated, despite not having any evidence to support my claim since we barely communicate these days.
The last time we had a proper conversation was last week when he told me that he'll be canceling his flight and won't return home until the third week of May because he has some stuff to get done.
He didn't elaborate as to what those stuff are.
"Eh." My mother uttered, and i watched her walk outside to sit on her Verandah, "Give him my best when you see him likkle more."
"I won't be seeing him later mommy. Lennox on a business trip to New York." I told her and she stared at the screen with a confused expression.
"Eh-Eeh? So how me nuh see him post nothing pon him status. A weh him do? Block me?"
I giggled and looked at her tight-lipped, "Why him woulda block yuh mommy?"
"After me nuh know mi dear that's why me a ask yuh. A weh him gone overseas for though?" She asked, resting her head on the chair's top rail.
I let out an exasperated sigh and rested my phone to stand upright on my desk. I then placed my arm on the rest and rested my face on it, as I fiddle with the pages of a file,
"After me nuh know. Him just say a one business trip and him a come back home round the third week of May. Yuh know fi him ting already. Goodly gone go represent somebody fi a case."
