Xiomara Hendrix
(zee (o) mara)

Remember when I said I've been wanting to hit somebody.

Sad seh a Romelou, I was even surprised myself. I was just frustrated that day and he got the shitty end of the stick.

I've been trying to build the courage to apologize but my pride won't let me.

I've been doing my best to avoid him, I had to come back to work.

I lock myself in the office and work and he doesn't disturb me and I sure as hell don't disturb him.

I remember like it was yesterday after my I hit him he instantly clenched his jaw and let me go

I heard the front door lock, that means he left.

I made my way downstairs to make some tea, and I'm hungry but I'll just wait and grab some lunch later.

I stepped in the kitchen and froze when I saw him around the counter.

"Sorry mi neva mean fi disturb yuh, mi can come back."

"Yuh good enuh, mek yuh likkle ginger tea."

What a way him know weh mi aguh mek.

Mi form out mi lips fi seh sorry but it's not coming out.

Not even when me and Dominique vex mi feel suh sheg up.

I was minding my business when I felt his presence close to me, "yaah ignore me? Weh mi duh yuh?"

Him being close to me like this will cause problems for me. I don't want a repeat of last week activities.

"You did nothing..."

"Ok so?"

"Ok so what?"

"We aguh talk like big people or yaah guh continue fi gwaan like yuh nuh feel weh mi feel?"

A muss the box weh mi gi him last week him still a feel.

"You did nothing, I'm sorry that I hit you in the face, I'm just a mess right now. It was nothing personal."

"The same person weh have yuh inna the mess yaah run right behind him..."

"Don't talk about what you don't know"

"Weh yuh mean, yuh lay down pon mi shoulder last week wid living eye wata bout yuh situation, unless a lie yuh did a tell, don't tell mi nuh fuckry bout mi nuh kno"

He picked me up like teddy bear off the floor and placed me on firmly the counter.

I went mute, frozen everything all at once.

"Yaav too much chat enuh. Mi nuh inna nuh tracing and back and fort."

The way he was handling the situation was making me timid.

"Weh yaah pick me up fah?" I tried to jump off the counter and he stood infront to block me and put me back up.

"Naah listen to you enuh. Mi aguh mek the tea. Yaah guh sidung deh suh, mi aguh stand up beside yuh and yaah guh tell me wah yuh problem."

"Mi naav nuh problem! It look like mi have a problem. Yah gwaan like seh yaah mi m—"

He slammed the mug on the counter.

"Relax nuh Xiomara, fuck man! Everything affi be aggressive wid yuh? Yuh caah have a civil conversation. Mi can tell yuh only know how fi deal with likkle bwoy and not a big man."

First of all who is Xiomara?

My mouth was zippedd. I couldn't otter another word. Nobody neva leff me speechless suh yet.

My jaw was left hanging.

The mug broke and cut his finger.

"Mi cut mi fucking finger." he hisses.

I was trembling like a damn leaf, jumping off the counter to look at his hand.

"I'm sorry." I said in a soft voice. "Let me see your hand." I held his wrist to look at the finger that was bleeding.

"Mi good. Mek yuh tea, mi aguh deal wid dis."

He pulled his hand away from me and went to the bathroom.

Me....feel away.

I cleaned up the mess and made my tea. Standing in the kitchen waiting, expecting him to come back but he didn't.

Instead he made a uturn from the bathroom to his bedroom.
