“Hey gyal you see if a never fi da birthday princess yah, a dash sup’m pon yuh fi wake me up,” Gavin says and we start laughing. Sash falls to the ground laughing.
“Hey mi cya bother enuh,” she laughs. Drama dem be enuh.
“Morning though best friend... Happy Birthday, I love you and mi know yah go enjoy yuh 24 hours worst when mi deh ya and mi nah ask Christ or twice,” he hisses with a laugh as he gets up.
I exude the biggest grin. “Awww love you guys and thank you.”
They hug me. The door pulls and my mother comes in with breakfast. “Breakfast in bed unuh guh?” Gavin says excitedly and they laugh.
“Good morning mi daughter,” my mother says, giving me the breakfast before she pecks my jaw. Mama walks in with a cup of tea.
“Good morning my beautiful grand daughter... Happy birthday to you and I hope you enjoy your day. God will protect you and give you strength... grandma loves you,” she hugs me.
“I love you,” I smile cheekily. When they got out I smile at my breakfast: pancakes with bacon and blueberries. Watch nice breakfast ova yasso! Spice voice
“Eat up Barbie doll,” Sash says and I smile. “By the way mi fi still call Anne?” She asks and I shake my head.
“Nickoi say he’s gonna get a makeup artist,” I say eating my breakfast.
“Okay ma’am,” Sash retorts.
Gavin starts laughing. “Gyal yuh did have 2k followers and look pon it now.”
I gasp and pull my phone. 7k!? “How?” I ask with a laugh.
“Yuh man post yuh,” the moment he says that I blush.
“Eeeh?” I squint at my phone. He posted a video of us lying in bed, and the next slide is a picture of me smiling in the house. When him tek this? The caption makes me grin: “Happy birthday, mami. Later a problem.” I comment, Thank you with a heart and lock my phone before going back to my food.
After eating, I head to the bathroom, do my morning routine, and slip into a purple spaghetti-strap dress that stops mid-thigh.
“A wah time we a go a the restaurant?”
“3 o’ clock we a leave,” I tell her and she nods.
“Morning, everybody good?” I hear Nickoi’s voice and my smile grows. I walk out of the room and see him talking with mommy and Mama. Watch d’ lady nice man.
“Yes we alright... we a fix up fi go a the restaurant,” mommy tells Nickoi and he smiles at her before he looks at me. Whew the way him look pon yuh girl.
“Birthday girl,” he grins, walking over like he owns the place — and maybe me too — and I melt right into his arms. Gavin walks out without a word, but the grin on his face? Loud..
“Wah gwaan, Nickoi?” Gavin says, heading to the veranda, and Sash follows him after giving Nickoi a quick greeting.
“Deh yah enuh,” he says to Gavin before he pulls me a little closer and moves his lips to my ear. Ouuu.
“Happy birthday again mami,” he whispers in a seductive tone making me shift awkwardly on my next leg. I hear my mother chuckling.
“Reminds me of when I was young and in love,” Mommy giggles, and I blush even more.
“Mi know that,” Mama says.
“Here,” he hands a Ferrero Rocher chocolate to me and I take it.
“Thanks babe,” I say and he nods. I see a white Mark X at the gate and Nickoi looks.
“Candy reach,” he says and Sash gasps. Look like Sash know a who. I look out and Gutta comes out with a woman, bringing a glitter bag for her.
“Yuh know a who that?” Sash whispers since she’s on the veranda.
