Don

Kenya's POV* | The following day

"Look, I'm sorry...I don't know when or if I'll be back" I tell him

"Kenya, you always find yourself in situations like these......It's like your a magnet for fuckry" Rajeev says

I'm not sure why, but his words anger me.

Well..............
I do know.

"Alright, yuh nuh affi go back....Leave it, I'll handle it" I snap at him

"It's not that I don't want to go back.....Remember, I don't even want to be in divorce....This was just to keep my time until you talk to yuh partner" He retorts

I hiss in frustration before removing the phone from my ear and I tap the red X.

"I don't know what the fuck to do." I hiss as I wipe the kitchen island aggressively

"You can't be so miserable. Try to control your emotions, everything you do in your pregnancy will reflect on the baby" I hear my mothers voice

I hiss again, then move to the trash bin

My phone vibrates and I look at the screen before answering.

"Bredda, how yuh so hoggish?" He asks

"It's just because I don't know what to do........." I trail off

I exhale before starting again
"Just, deal with the last cases please. You can take the money as my apology.....Just nuh accept anymore new clients" I tell him

"Me stop listen from yuh say take the money." He says and I chuckle

"And, thank you. I really appreciate how extremely hard you have been working and putting up with my slacks....I can't predict what Aaron will say when I talk to him but if he rejects, I can talk to Samantha" I tell him

"Ya'v dem link deh and make man deyah a-" He begins but I cut him off

"Goodbye Mr Brown!"
He chuckles and I join him

"Ah, mi magnet fi fuckry. Stay alive" He adds before hanging up

Not 'Mi' magnet fi fuckry

I chuckle before putting the phone in my back pocket and taking the bag filled with trash up from the container.

I open the door, and is startled by the tall figure that is planted at the entrance.

The bag falls from my hand and I'm about to slam the door shut but his hand stops it from closing.

"Easy Ms. Aaron. I'm just the guard" He says and I place a hand on my chest,breathing slowly, trying to slow my heart beat.

"Sorry to scare you. I thought you would've known." He says

"It's ok. I definitely should have known" I tell him and he smiles

"Let me take that" He offers before taking up the trash bag from the floor

"Thank you" I tell him and he nods

"Yuh coward eeeh" I hear my mothers voice behind me and I chuckle

"Me affi deh pon me P's and Q's"

"Is that what you call being on your P's and Q's" She asks and I chuckle

His words creep back in and I chuckle at him calling me 'Ms. Aaron'

It takes me back to when I was living in Montego Bay and every single one of my mom's friends would call me 'Ms.Kacey'

"Yuh wah go the mall later?" She asks and I nod

"Definitely, I wanted to get some more clothes and we also need to buy food" I tell her
