Incognito Book 2

17 - Loss Pt. 2

Caleb's POV

"Mek mi ears eat grass nuh man." I mumble.

Cayden bursts into a fit of giggles "Daddy ears can't eat."

Yuh see weh mi ever a sen tho? The pickney nuh miss.  Nuttn nuh pass him.

"Too fass man." I say under my breath.

"What did you say daddy?" He asks.

I glimpse at him through the rearview. "I didn't say anything sir."

Have a right fi call him sir.

Me one have four boss - mi wife and 3 pickney dem.

I quickly put the car in park after spotting Kyra's car driving in behind mine.

I wait for her to park before shutting off the vehicle.

I hop out of the car and pull Cayden's seat belt then lift him out of the car first.

Then I undo the buckle on the twins car seat taking them out one by one and putting them to stand beside their brother.

Hey woman tek hundred years fi exit them car enuh.

Because even after mi tek out Kianna her mother nuh come out the car all now.

Like she in deh a draw on edges and eyebrow.

I strut over to her car, tapping on the window. I signal for her to bring the window down.

She carries it down and begins grinning "Hey pretty girl."

Is her pickney alone she see? Me invisible?

"Tek her." I stretch my hand out.

She unlocks the door "nuh pass mi pickney through nuh window next thing she tun thief."

"It destine already. Apple nuh fall from the tree." I reply.

She cuts her eye and hisses her teeth.

She a gwaan suh like me did say she thief.

Mi just say if the pickney tun thief a because apple nuh fall from the tree.

She opens the door and comes out. Taking her baby from me.

She starts kissing her cheek "Did you behave well for uncle?"

"Nope. No." I jump up already answering. "She nearly mad me."

She places Kianna on her hip. "My sweet girl?"

I nod "Yup. She gi mi a run fi mi money."

She slaps my shoulders while laughing. Like she want twist mi spine "Yuh wouldn't babysit fi me again?"

I make an X motion with both my hands "Never again."

"She never that bad. Yuh just dramatic." She starts laughing and slaps me again.

"Kyra mine yuh bruk me back man wid yuh heavy hand."

She fans me off and behind strapping Ki into her car seat. "Tell uncle Leb later."

Kianna starts opening and closing her hand "bye bye uncii."
