I followed behind him and he went downstairs to the parking lot.

He flied the locks and I opened the door.

I went around to Alex's office and knocked on the door.

"Come,"

I opened the door and entered the room.

He was talking on his phone. I walked to his table and sat down in-front of his desk. He soon removed his phone from his ear and pointed at the food boxes,

"Beef or goat?"

"Beef," I said and he gave the box to me.

He grabbed the other box food and started eating.

"A bay soda Natty have eno," he said before handing me a ginger-beer.

"Dhat good,"

I started eating as well and we talked for a bit.

"Affi go start mek uh order mi food," I said and he smiled.

Alex is my personal tattoo artist and good friend.

After my lunch break I went back to work.

After work I left the salon and went to park to get a taxi. When I got home, I showered then prepared my dinner.

I went on a video call with my best friends.

February 4, 2021

After having a shower I got dressed and ready for work.

This morning I was ten minutes late because of traffic. I walked into the salon and my eyes went to Mia.

"Oh there she is," my client said as Mia braided her hair

"Mi think uh neva did a come in so mi tell har mi wid dweet," Mia said

"Wah uh mean. Mi eva tek way none a uno client yet,"

The door opened and they looked behind me. I turned around and Malachi walked towards me.

"Wapm?"

"Nuhn," I said

"Uh can do mi hair?"

"Yeah," I said and he walked towards my station.

"Mia watch your self," I said and she rolled her eyes.

I went towards him and I sigh.

"Uh hair not even pull up,"

He took my wrist into his palm and pulled me into his lap

"Malachi friend no sidung pan friend plus dis nuh professional,"

"The girl over deh so way a get har hair braid. A me she did book wid and the girl tek mi client caz mi did late. Now mi lose dat deh ten grand deh," I said and he eased me up.

He removed his a wad of cash from his pocket and sit me back down.

He put out six five thousand dollars bills and gave it to me.

"Dhat a fih wen uh did do me hair and this,"

He doubled the pay on what I would have earned this morning from doing that client's hair.

"Malachi-"

"Just say thanks b caz mi no tek back money," he said before putting the rest of his money away.

"Mi nah do uh hair eno," I said and he leaned into the chair.

"Why,"

"It nuh root-up or nuhn," I said and he nod.

"Alright den," he said

"Uh eat breakfast?"

"No," I said

"Why?"

"Neva feel fih nuhn,"

"When uh have uh next client?"

"Ten thirty," I answered while standing.

He got up and towered over me. He leaned down and placed a kiss on my cheek.

"Why uh do dhat?" I asked

"Eh gyal dem just a stare pan me," he said and I hummed with a small smile.

"A uh lip dem mi wah kiss still n still,"

"Friends don't kiss," I said as he frowned.

"Who and uh a friends?"

"You," I said

"Stop friends zone me," he said with a frown.

"There's a line right there. Friend zo-"

He stepped in-front of me and past my imaginary line that I was drawing.

"Stop fuck wid mi," he whispered and I smiled

"Stay deh a smile off uh face," he said

"Come on mek mi carry uh go get sumo eat," he said

"Mi no hungry-"

"Kristal,"

"Malachi,"

He picked up my bag and walked the door. I folded my arms and he smirked.

"Cum no babes," he said loudly and my eyes widened.

I walked towards him as everyone looked at me. He opened the door and I walked through.

"I hate you," I said as we went downstairs to the underground parking lot.

"Duppy can tek uh way dun yah eno," he said and I looked at him.

"Fuck you," I said and he grabbed throat.

"Uh wah mi fuck uh dun yah," he said

"Let mi go," I said and he released me.

I walked away and he laughed.

"Babes eh car deh so," he said and I turned to look at him.

"Mi no like uh eno,"

"Yeah right," he said and I took his keys from his hand.

I pressed the unlock button and I saw the car lights up. I walked towards his car as he carried my handbag.

"Mi can drive uh car,"

"Yeah,"

"Really?"

"No," he said and I frowned.

"Please," I said and he opened the driver's door.

"If uh turn eh mi mek uh drive it," he said and I smiled.

"Scratch it and mi fuck uh till uh bawl,"

"Uh nah go get deh chance deh and mi nah scratch it," I said

I got in and he closed the door. I took off my shoes and got comfortable as I adjust his car seat.

"Uh nah cum," I said after rolling down the windows.

"Fih uh kill mi," he said and I hummed.

"Mi a watch uh gwaan,"

"Put on uh seatbelt," he said and I placed it on.

"Check the mirror dem," he said

"Mi know how fih drive," I said

I started the car, checked the mirrors and ease out of the parking space.

I turned the car easily and stopped the car in front of him.

He smiled before getting into the passenger seat. He closed the door and I asked him where we were going.

"Wah uh wah eat?" he asked

"A wah mi can get fih eat," I said while checking the time.

"Mi no wah buy nuhn from nobody pan eh road side though," I said

"Pelican grill?"

"Mi neva yet go deh so," I said

"Uh no cum from bay den," he said with a smile.

He gave me the directions to the restaurant and I drove there. I parked the car and we walked to the restaurant.

I ordered the Ackee and salt-fish combo which consisted of fried dumplings, fried plantain and Ackee and salt-fish.

Malachi got oxtail with boiled dumpling and yam with pop chow on the side.

After I was done Alex called.

"Alex?"

"Wapm tuh uh?"

"Nuhn,"

"So how uh no cum a work,"

"Mi cum and left. Mi a have breakfast wid mi friend," I said and Malachi looked up from his plate.

"Oh okay," Alex said and Malachi dropped his fork on his plate causing people to turn and stare.

"Yeah mi suh cum," I said before hanging up.

"Wapm tuh uh?" I said and he didn't respond.

He paid the bill and got up.

"Fawud mek mi drop uh back a work," he said and I got up.

We went back to the car and got in. I placed on my seat belt as he drove off.

A wapm tuh him

The car stopped in-front of the plaza and he kept his eyes on the road.

"Malachi-"

"Lata dimples," he said

"Don't do dhat," I said and he looked at me.

"Smaddy nah wait pan uh or sumo parri," he said

"Stop nuh parri," I said and he hissed his teeth.

"Kiss mi pan mi jaw," I said and he looked back at me.

"Cum nuh," I said.

"Uh see uh friggin face,"

"Kiss mi, mi say,"

He leaned over and when he was about to his my cheek I turned my head. His lips touched mine and I felt him smile.

He pulled away a bit to look into my eyes.

"Uh a play wid fyah eno," he said

Mi wah kiss him

As much as mi know mi nuffi dweet

My eyes went to his lips and he licked them.

Fuck

My heartbeat races as I lean in to go for it, eyes closed, and I kissed him. He grabbed my throat and deepen the kiss.

His lips were soft, the hairs of his beard tickled my face. A strong feeling swarmed in my tummy and I felt my body melting in his.

Our lips moved in sync.

Bloodclawt di bwoy can kiss

When I pulled away and opened my eyes he smiled at me.

"Next time uh call mi uh friend mi a fuck uh up," he said with his thumb stroking the side of my neck.

"Get rid a uh gyal dem den mi consider it,"

"Done,"

"Just suh,"

"Mi know wah mi want," he said and I smiled while looking away.

I let out a hum and licked my lips.

"Pick me up lata," I said

"If mi pick uh up uh a cum home wid me," he said and I hummed.

"Mi wid text uh,"

"Ahh,"

I got out and went inside the building. He drove off and I went up the stairs.

I placed my fingers on my lips before smiling.
