"Lef the dwag dem alone nuh babes!" Saint complained.
What I did was showed him my middle finger and returned to playing with his dogs.
They had an whole area on the property for themselves and to how trained they were, they never poop or pee where they're not suppose to.
The kennel was as big as a stable but with two levels low and high where they shelter. Around the area is fenced but the gate stayed open the allow then entry to the front half of the property.
It nuh mek not a sense cause mih si dih taller dogs climb ova dat when the housekeeper come ova. Both Little Saint and dih dogs dem nuh like Ms Brown. Shi nuh like mih either cause the extra money shi would a get fih cook nah happen and den mih already clean majority a dih house already.
The back half is restricted and only Blossom has access to that and the inside.
Even Blossom was out here with me as she has grown attached to me over the past three weeks that I've been here. I'm sort of missing home and the food I don't want spoiling.
Affi guh talk bout dat tu both Saint and him son cause dem stubborn and determined seh mih nuh fih leave here.
"I'm going inside." I told the dogs and they looked at me. "Play with each other."
They started complaining in there own way and I laughed, getting nothing but a playful reaction out of them. Jumping, rubbing against me, wiggling there tails, tongue out and there doggish smiles showed even in there eyes.
"Dinox, I'm still scared of you." I point to the Doberman. The female was really protective and since Saint told me about her being my guard dog, I've been scared.
She just sits there looking around, waiting to strike someone and I hope it's not me.
I'm not falling for Saint's lecture about the dogs knowing me before I even came here. He wouldn't tell me but I did let my imaginations run wild.
Probably mek dem smell sum'n fih mih or show dem mih picture. Cyaw think of nothing better.
"Roun' up! Hurdle!" This man shouts and all the dogs including Blossom went where they're suppose to leaving me standing there. "Milani, fawud inna dih house and stop domesticate mih dog dem."
"Dem need love..."
"Mih need more love!" He argues and I laughed, washing my hands before I went inside.
I went in and saw Blossom laying on her doggy bed with a toy in her mouth.
She looks at me but didn't move and I don't know how serious they took Saint's command.
"Yuh phone a ring, babes!" He yelled from upstairs
"Ansa it nuh!" I almost hissed.
Most attitude him get recently is this cause mih getting too comfortable and no stress fih mek mih miserable.
He did not reply so I know he answered it. I took a drink from the fridge and made my way up using the stairs.
Only form of exercising mih doing cause mih nah put a foot inna dih gym. Nah look like fool a use dem sum'n deh.
"Yuh Aunty." He held the phone out as I walking in.
I took the phone and answered. "Aunty Lucy?"
"Mih a beg yuh do, pick up yuh cousin from wherever dem lef off Kingston passenger inna Montego Bay. Find sum'n duh wid har..."
"Wah yuh mean?" I asked confused, but most of all angry.
"Mih nah tek in nuh gyal weh a breed and nuh have nuh fada or baby fada. Seh si rather guh stay wid yuh dan kill it."
"Mih nuh agree tu dis. A yuh daughter, aunty. A fih unnu problem dat cause mih..." She cuts me off.
"Yuh dung deh a mek yuh sister live big life and a post like shi rich. Rebel a yuh family. Yuh fada right fih seh all a unnu..."
"Anything happens tu your daughter is not my responsibility dat mih a seh from now cause yuh nuh raise har good and if shi pass har place once a dih streets shi go deh pon. Family or not. Mih nuh response fih nuh gyal weh Beatriz Samuels nuh birth. You and your dutty bredda eva deh run from responsibilities and a mih unnu wah put dem on." I companied but I know she doesn't care.
"Shi on har way." That's all she says and hung up.
Feel like fling the phone inna dih wall but nuh bother. Cyaw destroy wah mih work hard fah.
Lucinda Petty is daddy's sister and her only child is Reneal Caesar, to har jailbird man.
How she find man all the way a new Kingston is beyond me. Guh there from shi lef secondary school fih live the fast life. Drinking, smoking, party and all that. Last mih hear is that shi owns a bar wid how much gun shot bore hole inna it. Zinc fenced neighborhood and dutty gully wata.
I've never been there or do I want to. Montego Bay is hard enough as it is.
Reneal Caesar who har own mother calls Rebel from early lives up to that name. Same age as Reign but is nothing close to who or how my sister is. The attitude worst than ours and the mouth, always deh put har inna trouble.
How me and mommy trust Reign fih free to do or say anything, it's all on the environment and how she was raised.
Lucky only cares for herself and which ever man shi have at the moment.
Mih see har the moment the bus starts letting out passengers along Craft market. Two bags in hand and one on her back. Shi hold on tu dem like sumaddy out fih grab dem.
Almost mistake har if not for the recent pictures I saw on her Instagram. Bleach out, tattoos, relaxed hair and short revealing clothes.
The belly starts show already tu how the navel push out then it guh pierced already.
Fih si people a look pan dih short sum'n, have the same height has Reign and the hair length. Looking so much like har mada.
Mih approached her and she looks up then allowed her eyes to trail over my body.
Criticism, first red flag.
I was in Saint's clothes, his plain t-shirt and Polo shorts that was loose on me so I had to pull the string and tie it tightly. Then for his big slides since my slippers could not be found. Next being my hair in some big twist since I washed it just this morning. I don't care how I looked and neither did he until he saw that I wasn't wearing any bra but I was already late.
"Reneal." I greet and she nods.
"Milani."
"Gimmie the two bags and come on." I held my hand out and took them.
"Thanks."
"Yuh hungry?" I asked before I started walking.
"Yea."
"Feel fih soup or porridge?" I tested and she took a while to answer.
Affi give yuh opinions, yaad me cook.
"Soup."
A got her a soup along Sunshine plaza from a cart man then walking further down to the car park across the street from the fire station.
"Yuh drive?" She asked when we entered the lot.
"Recently." I responded. Taking out the key and unlocked the door. "Backside...Range."
Mih nuh seh nothing but put the bags on the backseat while she got in the front.
"Buckle up." I told her realising and made sure everything was good before I made my way out to get home.
"Beach free?" She inquired.
"Yeah."
She was quietly looking around until she got out of the busy parts of town.
"Uncle tell Lucy seh him nuh know where yuh live. A true?"
Shi call har mumma Lucy, second red flag.
"If him know, all a wih get fuck including himself." Was all I said, speeding up the hill and I could see her holding the door and console to steadying herself.
We got home and she kept looking around while I opened the grills and the door.
Lots deh on my mind cause mih just a wait pon har fih start a rebellion against me and everyone. Nah drop mih guard.
I turned on the air conditioners, putting them on there lowest to cool the place.
She walked in with her slippers and I shook my head. "All outdoor shoes on the varandah. Mih will give yuh a slippers tu wear inside soon."
Bad habit.
"Okay."
Mih nuh want har in Ailani's quarters and neither in the twins but I have to put her somewhere.
I stared baling out the items in the room that has no bathroom, she'll have to stay in here and use the twins shower and the half bathroom by the laundry for her own.
"Milani!"
Why shi deh shout out mih name suh.
"Yes?"
"Some man outta door." She informed me so I went out to see Ben and two other men.
"Yuh husband seh fih nuh lift nothing heavy." Was all he said as he came in but they went around to the back.
"Downstairs it a guh?"
"Yeah." He nods, coming in.
He moves what needs to be and even brought a bedroom set along to put in there afterwards.
Reneal lucky doe, an shi just siddung inna the kitchen area a watch everything while shi drink the soup.
Betta drink dat or whatever mih prepare in ya.
I passed the guys some chilled water as they were leaving and went to the kitchen to speak with Reneal.
"Mek mih show yuh around and help yuh wid anything." She stood up.
"Reign room, the twins..." I entered with her behind and gestured to there bathroom. "Yuh can use dem bathroom in the meantime while mih have somebody get the half bathroom fixed and put in a shower fih yuh."
She looks in. "Clean doe."
"Yeah. Clean after use, everybody duh chores."
"Like wah suh?" She inquired.
"I'll send yuh the link and yuh download the app then mih add yuh tu the group. Basically mih send yuh a task and yuh do it fih earn points. Everybody gets a fair amount but me do the most including the after checks to make sure it's done property. You'll see what all added points might get yuh by week or month end. Besides that, the basics is yours to do. Anything from yuh bedroom, clothes on yuh back, plates and thing from the kitchen."
I showed her the rest then helped her bring her items to her new bedroom.
"No AC?" She looks along the wall.
Me neva realized but the twins nuh have either.
"The backrooms don't have any, the twins have wall fans and you have a standing one." I point to the corner where the men puts it.
"The clothes dem dirty, mih can use dih machine?"
Rawrid! Shi travel wid so much dutty clothes.
"Yeah."
I made an exit but glimpses at the door. This nuh have nuh key, just a little lock weh nuh mek no sense.
Good.
I started on dinner, seeing her going back and forth from the room to the laundry area. "Everything good Reneal?"
"The dryer nuh work?"
"Dryer a fih rainy days. Yuh nuh have no clean clothes fih change inna now?" I asked.
"Yes, but where mih fih throw the clothes fih dry?"
Mih wah sigh and cyaa sigh Ioud.
Mih show har the clothing pin and then the plenty lines around back, as well as the basket to bring them down in. "Put them inna dis and mih bring them down fih yuh."
"Okay."
Then I returned to the kitchen.
Her clothes dried in no time due to the heat and I made sure to tell her to cover her head with something to block the sun and take them up while it's hot.
A nuh mih sen har fih guh bleach out har skin.
It nuh mek sense shi use clothes pin when nothing was pinned properly.
Shi guh fih dem and brings it to the room, packing the drawers as she should. I got my old sheets and bring to her room, seeing her now laying on my old mattress with no covers on. She got my help to make the bed and I gave her two pillows from my batch.
"How far along are you?" I inquired, fixing the bed skirting.
"Just two months."
"An yuh birthday?" Had to ask since she's still fifteen. Trouble dem wah put me inna down here with the law.
"Next week." Sounds good.
"After dat mih bring yuh fih get registered a wah clinic."
"Wah type?" She asked.
"Public..."
"Naw guh there." She said point blank.
I stopped at looked at her short frame. "Why?"
"Yuh cyaa mek mih guh a private one?"
"Look ere, Reneal. Few weeks ago mih inna wah one room wid mih siblings dem a feed pah porridge or vegetables weh people would skin up dem face fih si a market. Poor till mih affi drink only water guh bed sometimes since mih wah mek sure dem good. You and yuh mada ketch mih when mih just get some help and if mih tek advance of it, mih reach back a square one. I'm not rich and this is not my place, mih just a kotch pah eye lash and if dem blink too hard mih drop off."
She stood there listening, staring at me.
"Mih doing enough already as it is, out of the blue. Mih nuh know nothing bout you and your mother but all mih a ask is for peace, respect the household and cooperation. If not yuh affi guh find where yuh uncle lives or stay with with grandma. Mih send yuh the link and the information fih wih group. Do that and anyhow an issue arise, talk to mih."
"Alright." She answered.
"Good. Yuh allergic to anything?"
"No."
"Alright." I left right away, pushing up the door as I go.
Young gyal still go need har likkle privacy.
Same time a Saint pull up inna dih yaad. Mih siblings and him son come out.
Affi look pah Rio cause mih still neva sure if him ready fih guh back a school. Him seh him ready so mih couldn't deny him request.
