Yuh know, fi guh have a drink and show him di ropes, him sey before him could a done talk to him a one big name tech company van dat pull up and Demar tell him dem wi link and guh wey ina di van," I explained while reasoning with Grung.

  "A suh him get work fast?" Grung ask looking bewildered.

"Get which work fast, Demar sign up wid di company before him lef yah. Chadwick say him call him and ask him sey why him neva sey somn and him a tell him bout him neva sure it would a guh through. So him sey mek him call mi an' show mi di pree zeen, mi nah sey mi nuh glad fi him opportunity and dat him always a try- but di man a move secretive like him nuh waan nobody at all know him business," I said feeling annoyed at Demar.

  Grung sighed then said. "Maybe him feel like you a guh disagree."

  Quenger walk up to where we were sitting and I told him about it, his response was. "Yow dat bredda don't talk much from a longer while and maybe a di truth him a tell, because when yuh apply fi dem job dey yuh nuh must get through. Mi happy fi him and as wey yuh sey him could a sey somn pon a big man level."

  Grung snorted after a while and said. "Di dawg affi a try mek extra income fi di pickney dem wey him have a come."

"Aha ha ha ha, yow! Mi don yuh nuh hear bout di big fight wey bruk yah last night?" Quenger laugh asking.

Grung began to grin uncontrollably. "A three babymother link up, yow dem cuss till dem start fight an' nuh body nuh part dem. Ms. Maize tun guh ina har yard and lock har gate to bloodclaate, mi sey entertainment caan done."

"𝑴𝒊 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒊 𝑫𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒉 𝒎𝒊 𝒏𝒖𝒉 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒊 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖," Grung said imitating a female voice that made Quenger got up roaring with laughter.

"Yow mi sey dem likkle gal yah a some living yam head, di three a dem sey dem a breed fi Demar and none a dem nuh know him birthday nor him full name," Grung stated.

  Hot-tool walk up to us. "Yow mi a want uno luw offa di new hot don name ino, fuck do uno? Mi babyfada Demar love ina mi tight- tight," he said and I burst out laughing along with Grung and Quenger.

  "No man a suh dem did a gwane?" I ask just now realizing how dramatic last night must have been.

"Mi sey di one Demar is a sneaking likkle killer, when mi call him an' ask him dis morning hear him 'breed fi me? Mi check every rassclaate condom mi use and a one an' move,' di man nuh give a shit dawg him sey him a guh call him mada den guh study," Hot-tool told us his voice taking on a disbelieving quality at the end of his statement.

"Suh wha happen to Raquel?" I ask.

Quenger sighed then said. "I don't know wha happen to di two a dem, mi hear sey she sey Demar nah gi har nutn. Say every time him a sey him have exam fi pay fah or some course or other and him mussi gi him madda di money fi buy whatever di baby want. She a work now but it nuh seems like dem still dey, cause she gone back up a har madda and him is from him madda yard to round a your one time yard."

  I hissed then said. "A lie Demar a tell because mi pay fi di training until him done plus gi him allowance and right now di company a mek at least three hundred thousand dollars a month, by time him pay di bills and him workers him still have money. Suh him have money, mi tell him sey fi be a successful don him fi have money- suh mi know him a save."

"Mi nuh think mi hear sey when him start guh UWI him tell Raquel sey him a mek she guh back a school and-" Grung was saying but I cut him off in shock at this news.

          
"Enh! UWI?" I ask and Grung looked at me with a surprise expression.

"When him start go a UWI?" Hot-tool ask mirroring my surprise and Grung looked at us questioningly.

  "Mi nuh sure, a wey mi hear sey-" Grung was saying but was cut off by Quenger.

  "Yow! Yow! Si one a di gal dey!" Quenger said as goody walk towards us.

"Sey somn Quenger," Hot-tool told him.

Quenger cleaned his throat and said asking. "Woiie mumma, a wey yah stray guh?"

"Mi nah stray guh nuh wey, mi a guh round a mi aunty," she answered slowing in her walk.

"Yuh go a UWI nuh suh?" He asks.

"Yea," she said. She look nice wid har bondy leg dem but di belly mussi young cause a doe si none.

"Wait Demar did done UWI?" Quenger ask directing this question to Hot-tool.

"Mi nuh sure," Hot-tool stated with a frown.

"Him a wait pon him results fi see if pass and a guh graduate," she stated.

  I felt like someone slapped me across my face, how long was he attending university and I'm only just knowing. "Oh, a'right sweetness," Quenger said and she walked off with a proudness on her face like she just got a mil.

  Grung look at me and I made a face. "Humn! A di first me a know dis," I said still reeling from the surprise of the information.

Grung brought Hot-tool up to date with what I had told them earlier. "Him nuh tek much talk ino and him always busy, mi sey mi ask di man fi fix di music system ina mi car cause a him did put it in and him tek one whole week. Mi guh round a him yard guh call him out one morning and di way how mi bex, mi just drive off and guh pick up mi youth dem. Yuh si by time mi fi drive off a him dat come block mi in wid him jeep. Anyway mi tell di pickney dem fi come out a di car and him guh in dey, di man duh two likkle somn and come out and drive off gone. Suh mi get even vexer and sey mi a guh drive him dung an' cuss out him rass, yuh si when mi start di car a di music system dat come on and start play. Mi sey all mi a look mi nuh see a wey him duh, but it a play good up to now. Him good at him job man," Quenger told us.

  We split up soon after and I went to cook for all us while talking about the stores with Spent-shell, then I made a list and took a picture of it and send to Chadwick. I was going to keep my dance this December, with Alkaline expected to be out before that time and up and running again- it will be the biggest dance for the season.

  My mind went back to his closing song and I muse on it, it was so touching and meaningful- I hope it hits number one. Grung came with the dishes and I gave him the job to do the sharing. I ate and when they leave I went to lie down, my thoughts were filled with what I've learned about Demar and I promise myself to keep a keen eye on him.

  Alkaline's interview blazed across the media and the hot topic was is pending court appearance, I checked the money in my safe- it was the same amount that I had place in there. Well Dean didn't have much to buy and she still had a good amount, she and our sons are financially ok. I was still keeping a tight watch on her, I found nothing on her phone and I was still worried that she has fucked with some random dude.

  I weighed my mind on wether I should go home to her or just gwane bill and give her some space, a lot of available bitches are all around and it doesn't take much to get a release. I hiss and shook away the thought, then grab a shower and went to hang out with Gremblin and the other chappas.
