"Yuh ready?" Danté asked.

"Wait nuh," I stuffed the last piece of bun and cheese in my mouth.

"A which car yaa drive?" I asked him taking two kisko from the fridge.

"The X6, a wah yuh waah drive?" He asked.

"Nope, mi a passenger princess today, come on mi ready now," I responded.

"Weh yuh bag?" He asked.

"It Ina the garage."

We went to the garage, Andre's car was already parked outside the gate, waiting for us.

"Gwaan in and bring it outta gate, me go lock up," Danté said giving me his fob key. I picked up my bag from a chair in the garage and placed it in the back seat when I got in, then went out the driveway so he could lock the garage and the gate.


When he was done we switched back sides before he drove off.

"Mi Neva connect my phone to this one time?" I asked Dantè, trying to get my phone connected to his car's Bluetooth.

"How mi fi know," was his response.

I tried again until it connected. Finally.

"Bredda mi nuh waah hear no gyal song inah mi ears enuh," he complained.

Why mi Neva drive with Andre?

Because him have attitude, yeah.

"One gyal alone mi listen and a stalky, yuh know a bare Kraff and Malie mi play," I said going on Spotify.

"A which part we a pick up yuh fren?" He asked.

"Kayla down a bridge and Danay a Duncan's Hill," I responded.

"Ahh bro."

I went on one of my Spotify playlists and pressed it and the first song played was Malie- Michigan.

'Poverty Naah go see mi, Bruck life feel silly'

"When yuh stuck inah di dawk like light when yuh dim e, Mi probably Naah nuh love inah mi heart but mi sure mi have dead faces inah mi billy, Dante sang along.

'Now every man waah be Killy, Gyal Wah used to ugly face app mek she pretty'

"Every man a cut key fi di city but if him run up pan mi nozzle mi a kill him, think a joke," he sang and bobbed his head.

"Hear my part now...Gucci slides from yuh si di don
Send food with a pillion, Den mi go shout up e whitey a Michigan," I sang and bobbed my head.

"A suh head banga trick e bank...bomboclaat," he sang.

'Spliff inah mi mouth side, Hennessy a sip in hand
Bare gyal inah di city and, stiff breast dolly, Gwaan home if yuh titty long.'

"Di blessings not ending, Wah mount a brick spending can yuh just listen to the message that's sending
A di money mi defending, wait 30 minute if yuh si di food pending," Dante sang, one hand driving one doing hand movements.

"See her deh," I turned the music down, pointing to Kayla standing under the bridge.

He pulled over when he reached where she was.

"Morning," she said hopping in and putting her bag on the seat.

"Gu' morning," I responded.

"Y pree," said Danté with a little head nod.

When Kayla closed the door, we drove off, making a turn and I turned the music back up.

"Lend mi yuh phone?" I said to my brother.

"Fi wah?"

"Gimi e sumn nuh," I said.

"Bredda," he hissed his teeth before taking the Gucci cross bag from around his neck and giving it to me.

"Use it one inah di blue case, ih next one nuh clean and dah next one deh yuh wi blind," he chuckled.

"Nasty," I rolled my eyes before taking the phone out and putting it at his face to unlock it.

I went on snap chat cause mi cyaa snap pan my phone if it a play inah Spotify.

"A weh yuh stop from know Dey bad song yah man," Dante said as RajahWild- Boom by by came on.

"Bredda stop e noise Sinna Neva lie, mi can swear pan mi life mi nuh batty guy," we all sang while I recorded.

"Pull up dat bloodclaat," Dante said.

I started the song over.

'Bredda stop e noise Sinna Neva lie, mi can swear pan mi life mi nuh batty guy, dawg a chop mi chop e line'

"Chain a drip a happy ice, and if mommy cry sumn affi sacrifice," Kayla sang pointing gun fingers while I recorded.

"Wah mi say pinky... and dissa thing yah Naah no Mack inah it, man a Sinna pussy couldn't be mi appetite, Glock load with 17 shot inah it," Dante exaggerated.

We sang and vybed all the way to Duncan's Hill.

"A yuh fren dat pinky?" Dante asked pointing to the figure under the bus stop.

"Yeah, yaah go turn or yuh go drive through Duncan's?" I asked him.

"Drive through deh," he answered going across the road where Danay stood at the bus stop.

He blew his horn to get her attention and I rolled my window down and waved her over.

"Pinky unuh affi go put unuh bag dem in a the back," he said referring to Kayla and I's bag that was on the seat.

"So go put dem in deh," I replied.

He parked and got out, and took Danay's bag to the trunk, while Kayla passed him ours.

"Hey babes," Danay said when she came in.

"Hey boo."

"Waam gyallie."

"Brittney mommy say yuh fi call her when we reach yer," Danay said.

"Alrt just remind me," I told her.

"Cause yuh have short-term memory, how yuh perform well a school?" Kayla laughed.

"Girl bye."

"Pinky put on yuh seatbelt," Dante said when he came in.

"Weh André?" Kayla asked.

"Dem man deh goodly deh a D-Bay yah now," Dante chuckled cause André nuh tek time drive.

"Yuh did tell Danay Wah Gwaan?" She asked me.

"No, tell her so the two a unuh can be scared together," I laughed cause André is no bull buck, him just intimidating when e ready.

We were now at the Air BnB and it was definitely giving a very homey, Jamaican vibe, especially with the different sets of flowers that are planted around the place.

"Mi ready fi go bum flick inah two piece yah now," Danay said.

Dante hissed his teeth as he parked the car.

Woieeee!

"Weh unuh a go leff unuh bag dem, mi sure mi Neva offer fi bring none," he called after us.

"Pinky fuck she nuh come back come see none a her chips dem," I heard him say.

"No no no no nooo, me will bring my own bag," I turned around and went back for my bag.

"Andre!" I called because I saw his car but not him.

"Dre!"

"Pinky a Wah mek yaaa mek suh much noise Ina di ppl dem place?" He answered. "Yuh naav no home training."

"Come help mi with them yah," I begged him.

"Yuh like e place?" He asked.

"Mi nuh see every where yet, but so far, yeah," I said honestly.

"Me a plan fi buy it man," he said looking around.

"Rich," I popped his collar and he slapped my hand away.

"Gwaan mi a bring dem, waah lady round deh go show unuh e place and the room dem," he said.

"Okay," I walked until I saw Danay and Kayla talking to a lady.

"See her here," Kayla said.

Wah mi do?

"Hi, I'm miss brown and I'll be your housekeeper for the rest of your stay," the lady introduced herself.

"Oh, hi I'm pinky," I said shaking her hand.

"Okay let's go I'm going to show you around," she said leading the way.

She showed us the whole place, including the pool, jacuzzi, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and even the walkway to the beach. She explained that we'll also have a chef who'll cook for us daily and also showed us where to find her if we needed her.

I love it here.

"Unuh choose unuh room dem already?" Dante walked up to us asking.

"No, weh wi bag dem deh?" I asked him.

"Ina the passage," had pointed. "The foodstuff dem pack out ins the kitchen.

"Thanks, which room a fi yuh?" I asked him.

He pointed to the one at the far end.

Great!

"Alright we a go choose fi wi now, unuh come on," I said to the girls.

"Gwaan mi a bring unuh bag dem," he said.

The first door we opened Danay called dibs on then Kayla got the one beside it. I took the last one at the top.

At least mi deh far from Dante wid him nosey self.

"Yow wul dem yah," Andre put down every body bag inah my room and walked off.
