"Hi baby." He said as I stood by the big gate waiting for him to let me in, and I didn't respond, for I was now irritated.
"How are you doing?" He asked when we got to his room, and I shrugged as I sat in the corner of his bed, and he turned the TV on handing me the remote.
"Good. You?"
"Perfect since uh deh yah."he said and I hummed as I skipped through the options of Netflix.
Aye fi somebody weh nuh play bout dem money a month time dem really nuh offer ntn good.

"Find sumn nice enuh, and no foolishness." He said as I paused over a K drama and I rolled my eyes scrolling for Peaky Blinders for him to watch since I planned go be on my phone anyways.
"Wah color panty uh have on?" He asked a few minutes into the movie as he touched my inner thigh, and I sighed.
"None."
"Eeh. Yah walk pan the road without drawz? A make it easy fi a man rape uu?" He asked and I simple just hummed as I continued my scrolling on tik tok.
"Gimme dis." He said taking my phone from me as he placed it on the dresser before coming for the TV remote and turning the TV and the fan off for he didn't like it when the wind touched his naked butt.
Okay.
Let's just get this over with.
After a few rounds of him doing his thing, I laid on my side as he cuddle me scrolling on my phone for I wasn't tired, but he was snoring up a storm.
I sighed when I checked the time and saw that it was after 3, so I just decided to put the phone down and get some sleep.
What felt like not even ten seconds later I was woken up by the sound of an alarm and him shaking my shoulder for me to wake up, and I sat up in his bed all groggy when he said.
"Hurry up and get uh things. We affi leave now." He said making me even more confused, but I did as he said anyways, my eyes not even being able to open.
"Why? I just fell asleep."
"Mi granny soon wake up so we affi leave now." He said handing me my shirt and I took it, and put it on grabbing my bag and putting my slippers on.
It was 4:05 am when he snuck me out of the house, and I sighed as we walked down the road for he was going to put me on a taxi.
"Walk up nuh!" He said annoyed, but I just kept my pace as I literally just woke up.
"Wah more uh wah from mi sir? Me a walk as fast as mi can. Mi eye den swell up and yah pressure me. Me know mi way enuh so uh can just Gwan." I said irritated caz what the fuck?

"One taxi a come." I said when I saw a taxi as I ignore what he just said.
"Call me when uh reach home yer?" He asked after closing the door, but I still didn't answer caz I was sure that if I did I would offend him and his entire blood line.
"A wahm to uh? Wah him do uh?" Asked the taxi man, and I sighed not inna the mood fi di one bagga talking right now.
"Ntn."

"What if a man offer you 7k fi eat uh? What would you say?" He asked and I sighed, " a wah? 7k cah help uh? It cah buy one shoes and one suit? How about 10k then? Me have the money right now." He said going for a coil of money but I remained silent.

"No uh can just drop me a Half Way Tree. Nuh Half Way Tree taxi dis?" I asked and he nodded.
"Yeah, but it early. A deeven 5 inna the morning yet. Where yah go?"
"Constant Spring." I lied and he stepped on the gas pedal as we drove pass the transport center, and I gulped as I said a silent prayer for I all I could see is this man harvesting my organs, and my picture being posted saying that I am missing, after telling my mom that I am going to spend time with my cousin but gone a man yard.
"Uh wah drive?" Asked the man, and I peeked up hearing that question completely forgetting about my earlier worries.
"Yeah"
"Alright" he said pulling over to get out, and I did the same making sure to take my bag with me incase of anything.
Getting around the staring wheel, he adjusted my seat for me and I listened to his instructions and I smiled for I was doing it.
I was driving.
It was to 5 in the morning so there were only one and two cars on the road and no trucks so I was not afraid.
"Uh learn fast man. Where a Constant Spring uh live?" He asked as I liked at him confused and then I remembered that I had lied to this man.
"Huh? Oh. A Red hill me ago. Can direct uh." I said after we had switched back positions, and he took a shortcut through Constant Spring which brought us to Price Mart and in no tile I was at at Isla's gate.
"Uh nuh have any friend weh woulda wah learn fi drive as well?" He asked and I shrugged.
"Maybe my cousin."
"How old is she?" He asked after he gave me his phone to put my number in and he called my phone to ensure that it was my number.

"17."
"Ok. So save mi number and whenever unnuh ready unnuh can call me and me come fi unnuh and we go airport road ok?" He asked and I nodded.
"Me annuh only taxi driver enuh. Me a police too. Mi can teach uh how fi load and unload gun and the different parts." He said and I hummed already out of the car and ready to go.
"Well thank you for the ride and the lesson. I'm going in now."
"Wait deh nuh. Uh nuh bother want the KFC?" He asked and I shook my head no.
"Maybe some other time. Bye."
"Alright den baby take care." He said driving away, and as soon as he was gone and I was inside I blocked his number and went to to a half asleep Isla everything.
"So uh mean fi tell mi seh uh uh tek neither the money did the KFC?" She asked after my rant, and I nodded.
