Kristal's Salon
October 3, 2023
Montego Bay, St. James

"Mal mi fraid," she cried as I speed past cars that were in my way.

"Mi suh reach deh. Even if mi affi cum in deh mi self mi a cum fih uh," I assured her.

It soon sounded like she was wheezing and my heart clenched tighter.

"Babes try cover you nose wid uh shirt or sumo,"

She started coughing badly before the call ended.

"No,"

"Abby call har back quick," I said and Abby took my phone before unlocking it.

"Har phone nah ring," she said

Fuck

The moment I arrived at the Salon I stopped my car behind the fire truck.

I quickly got out as Abby did the same. I made my way through the crowd and stared asking questions.

"Sir please back away-"

"Bredda mi oman in deh suh and uno a talk bout no one is willing to approach the building. Go do uno fucking job and try find her," I said

"We're trying our best to control the fire first-"

Man fuck dis

I ignored the fire fighters who were taking they're sweet little time to put out the fire and get close to the building.

"Sir you can't-"

"Gimi dis bloodclat," I said before grabbing the fire extinguisher from the guy that seems to be in control.

"Sir you can't-"

"Shut up likkle idiot," I said before running to the entrance.

Wasting no time I used the extinguisher bottle and broke the glass.

The moment I got in the shop I moved quickly but cautiously towards her office.

Using the fire extinguisher I tried putting out the fire that was in my way.

I got to the office door to see that someone had used a chair to create a barricade causing her to be locked inside her office.

A now dem call mi murderer

The head of the chair was placed under the door knob and the back legs of the chair was rooted to the ground.

"Babes!" I called before kicking away the chair that was on fire.

"Kristal mek sure uh no deh backa eh door,"

I heard a faint answered and I was quick to kick open the door since flames was running across the door.

"Mal?"

"Yeah mi deh yah," I said while looking around.

I followed her voice as I moved through the thick grey fog of smoke. When I found her, she was laying on the ground.

I placed the extinguisher down and she sat up while holding on to me.

"You get no burn?"

She shook her head and I took off my hoodie. I covered her chest before picking her up bridal.

"Turn uh head to mi chest," I said as she did just that.

"Sir?"

Uno tan deh bout bloodclat sir

When I woke up I found myself laying on a hospital bed with a mouthpiece over my nose and mouth.

When I looked down at my pelvis area Malachi head was resting on me as he hugged my body.

A smile formed on my lips as I moved his hair away from his face.

Den look how long mi twist up him hair and all now him no lose out it

A lazy him lazy or nasty

His eyes fluttered open before they focused on me. I tried removing the mouth piece but he stopped me.

"Mek it stay babes," he said while taking my hands into his.

"You ina pain?" he asked and I shook my head.

"Mi ago shout eh doctor and cum back-"

"No," I said while holding on his hand.

He looked at our hands before nodding.

"Alright," he said before pulling out his phone.

Soon he placed the phone to his ear.

"Yow one a uno shout eh doctor fimi," he said into the phone.

Seconds later he hung up and placed the phone next to me.

He moved my knuckles to his lips and kissed the back of my hand.

••

The doctor did a check up on me and then I was able to see my friends except Destiny and Jay.

Minutes later two officers came to question me.

Ugggh

Jamaica police a fuckry cause them wid tek a report from you then go fling it dung

"I'm officer Thompson and this is officer Davis. We're here to ask some questions about what about happened at the salon,"

I looked at Malachi and he shook his head while rubbing his beard. He actions was telling me not to tell them anything.

"Are you able to do that Miss?"

I gave the officer a nod and they looked at Malachi who leaned his back against the wall.

Him nah cum out so dem betta tek dem yiy offa him

Officer Thompson cleared his throat before removing a notepad from his pocket.

"What were you doing at the salon so late?"

"Well I wasn't in Jamaica for a while and I got back around two days ago so I was there cleaning out my office," I said and he nod.

"We where able to access some videos footages and we saw that there was a break-in,"

"Yes," I said

"Did you see there faces-"

Yes

"No," I said while rubbing my forehead.

"Okay. What about the woman that came in first?"

Mi member everything but mi just a left it to Malachi

"I'm sorry I can't really remember much of anything. My head is all over the place," I said

After a while they left.

"Uh good?" Malachi asked as I got up from the bed.

I nod and he looked at the bandaid that was at the side of my face.

"Malachi mi alright," I said and he let out a sigh.

~~~

Thankfully I wasn't hurt or anything so I was released within a few hours.

Malachi had stop at a pharmacy were he brought a nebulizer incase and I started wheezing again.

We arrived at Jay's house and I got out after thanking him. Only thing he  got out as well.

He followed me into the house and after talking with Jay and Destiny I went to my room.

I sat down on the bed and that's when my tears came.

Even though I wasn't the one who built the salon I couldn't help the heart clenching feeling I was feeling.

Mi shop gone

Wah mi ago do now

A couple minutes passed and I was still crying my eyes out. Soon the door opened and I hid my face.

A must Malachi

"Yow yow a wapm?" Malachi asked as he rushed over to me.

He pulled me up from the bed moved my hands away from my face. His eyes searched my face for answers.

"A wapm? Uh feel a pain? Uh wah go back a hospital? Wah?"

"Kristal talk to me," he asked while forcing me to look at him.

"Nuhn," I said

"Dhat mek sense bredda? Uh a bawl fih nuhn? B no do dhat" he said and I tried pulling away.

"Talk to me please," he begged.

"Eh Salon everything just gone suh in a flames. You money just gone dung eh drain-" I sniffed as my voice broke.

"Cum here," he said while pulling me into her chest.

"No put uh head pan dhat. Mi wid get uh back wah bigga and betta salon b stop eh cry," he said

"No mi nah dhat pan uh. Mi wid work n-"

"Oye wah mi say mi ago," he said and when I didn't respond he asked again.

I repeated his words and he nod.

"Everything ago good uh yer no stress bout dhat," he said and after a while we pulled away and he whipped my tears.

"Uh good now?" he asked and I nod.

"Not to sound rude but shouldn't you be on your way home to your girlfriend instead a fih a comfort uh ex," I said while rubbing my eyes.

"Mi no have no girlfriend, no oman, nobody mi a fuck, no nuhn. Matter a fact no gyal cah tell uh wah colour mi cocky head be cause from we lef mi no fuck nobody. Kristina a did just one a dem gyal dem deh way wah spend money pan sumo dutty foot Jamaican boy," he said and I looked at my feet.

I hummed before stepping away.

"Uh smell like wood fire," I said before looking at him.

He shook his head before smiling at me.

"Well you no smell no betta," he said and I smiled.

"Mi wud'n go a mi room go bade but mi shower stop work, yours a work?"

I nod and he placed the bag down with nebulizer.

"You can bade wid mi but no look pan mi-"

"Uh member say mi know-"

"Malachi,"

"Alright," he said before walking to the bathroom.

I walked in behind him and he searched the cabinet for extra rags.

"Way Abby?"

"Skitta did carry har cum yah when we did deh a di hospital so she probably ina har room," he said and I nod.

"And uh bredda?" I asked and he looked at me.

I covered my chest but he eyes did lowered once.

He stood straight before turning to me.

"Whether we deh pan good term or not Jason cah do uh nuhn. Him might gwaan bad and brave but fih days a badness done and a mi run things,"

"One man uh fih fear babes and God," he said before hugging me.

He placed a kiss on my head before releasing me.

He took out a new rag before turning his back. He took off his clothes and it reminded when we first showered together.

He stepped into the shower but kept the glass door opened. After I was done undressing I entered the shower with him.

We showered together and he didn't turn to look at me once.

"Mal?"

"No ask mi fih touch mi-"

"Mi nah ask you dhat," I said with a small smile.

"Oh wah uh say den,"

Instead of saying anything I wrapped my arms around his waist.

"Thanks fih cum ina deh fimi," I said.

"Uh nah fih say thanks. Caz even if mi affi dweet again mi a dweet fih you," he said and I smiled

"Come round yah so," he said and I released him.

I went around him before facing him.

"Mi mek mi bredda get ina mi head and mi fail you once. Mi nah fuck again," he said before cupping my cheeks.

"Mi just want another chance," he said while staring into my eyes.

"You no affi answer now just think bout it," he added.

•••

After our shower he went to his room to get dress. I climbed into the bed and covered my legs with the duvet.

Soon Malachi came in and turned his flashlight on phone

"What a way uh a sleep ina dark,"

"A because mi know uh did a cum back," I said and he chuckled.

He walked to the bed before turning off the flashlight. He gave me his phone and I placed it on the nightstand.

He laid down behind me before pulling my body into his.

He hugged me and I closed my eyes while placing my hand over his.

I was slowly drifting off to sleep when he kiss my neck before saying he loves and he's sorry.

Him think mi a sleep?
