FEELING HIS HANDS BRUSH AGAINST MINE, I SMILED. "The walk mek yuh feel better?" He asked pushing the gate open as I sniffled nodding. I was sick, high fever and felt weak since Saturday.
Since then, he's taken care of me but I want to feel some level of dependency so I decided that we should go for a walk. I took the initiative to stop going to 6th form and apply for a nursing school that was in Spanish town.
I called and found out everything they offered there and I was going to do the Phlebotomy course. It's an online class and I only come in every two Saturdays for a year. I'm going there later on if I feel better with my documents to sign up so I can start either next month or January.
"Yeah, mek mi feel likkle stronger." I answered as he smiled. "Ah, dat mi wah hear." He said as we entered the house.
I immediately sat down as he passed me a glass of water and an aleve for the headache. They work more for me than panadols because since taking them yesterday I woke up much better this morning.
"Suh you a focus more pan music?" I asked as he got busy making us and his mom breakfast.
"Yeah.. from 11 grade mi did ago drop out and dweet but dat nuh mek no sense. Mi affi mek sure mi have a backup plan suh mi wull out and do mi subject dem." He said as I hummed in agreement.
Before I could answer, my phone rang and I saw that it was my bestfriends group-calling me. I admit, I have been AWOL and I haven't called or texted them despite them reaching out but I really needed the space because of my mom and dad.
"Hey." I answered as the line got quiet before Shanequa spoke up. "Honestly, if a did back den mi woulda cuss but I'm not that irrational person again. Mi understand seh people need them space but just one text seh yuh alright woulda do we good." She said as I suddenly felt bad turning to Duijai.
"Yuh shoulda atleast gi dem a likkle text seh yuh need space b." He mouthed to me as I nodded.
A true.. cause if they did that to me mi woulda vex and think seh dem a back-door mi or some shit honestly.
