DÉJÀ VU - Chapter 2: Chapter 2

It had been a week since the Kyle incident, and I had to endure a full lecture from my parents. Usually, when Mom goes off, Dad is quick to diffuse the situation—he's always been the 'cool' parent. So when I saw him genuinely scolding me, I knew it was serious. I didn't blame them; after all, it was a life-or-death situation.
I was sprawled out on my bed, scrolling through Instagram when I spotted a familiar face on a missing person's poster: Kyle Davis. My heart felt like it was racing out of my chest as I sat up, suddenly feeling very alert.
I quickly moved to FaceTime Kairo and dialed his number. He picked up on the second ring.
"Nai?" he said, waiting for me to respond.
"You check IG recently?" I asked, my voice tight with urgency.
"Oh. Yuh see it?" he replied, sounding indifferent.
"Yeah, I just saw it on my for you..." I gripped the edge of my bed, anxiety coursing through me.
"Den why yuh sound like yah fret?" he asked, a hint of annoyance creeping into his tone.
"Because me and yuh know say a dead him dead Kai"I said, a little louder than I intended to.
Mom and Dad were practically praising Kairo for ending a life...which is crazy to me. Kinda.
"Mi nuh wah police or—" I said, then cut myself off. A thought struck me—a sudden realization of how easily things could spiral out of control.
Mek mi shut up yah.. A suh dem ketch Kartel.
"Anyways, yah guh out todeh?" he asked, clearly trying to divert the conversation.
"Mi nah guh nuh weh. Just answer mi question now, Kai."
Kairo let out a low chuckle, more dismissive than anything. "Xanai, calm down. First of all, the gun weh mi use liscensed, and second, mi nah siddung and mek nobody hurt mi ooman."
Ooman?
"Hello sir nuh mek big back Gloria or Janette hear yuh and come beat mi wid har tuff self. Yuh nuh see how mi delicate?" I say to him.
Delicate frl but if a gyal run up its on spot.
Just then, I heard Gloria's voice booming in the background.
A suh she name fr?
Minuh know and minuh give a flying, swimming, walking fuck. And even if I had a fuck to give, I wouldn't waste it on such low-lives.
"Suh a really dis yuh leff mi alone fah? Chat tuh people??" she hollered.
Kiss mi teeth.
Woiii she jealous.
"Yow, nuh mek mi affi put a shot inna yuh head side. Come out," he said in a serious tone to his dog, as if expecting obedience.
His dog? Yuh rude enuh gyal.
"Lata, Kairo... Mi ave some weh fi guh," I said, attempting to wrap things up.
Nuh you jus seh yuh nah guh nuh weh?? Woii...
"Cudda swear yuh juss seh yuh nah guh weh." His disbelief was evident.
"Well, mi ave plan now. Bye," I said, ending the call before he could interrogate me further.
Sade had invited me to a club, and I figured I could just go now, even though I didn't really know what to expect...
8:31pm
Wanting to feel less guilty about lying to Kairo, I went to Sade-Lynn's chat and quickly typed, "Sure, love" and sending off my response before I could second-guess myself. I knew I shouldn't go out, especially not after everything that had happened. Worse how mi deeven aguh tell Kairo.
Almost immediately, she replied with a string of excited emojis: 🎉💃✨.
"Yessss! Ima pick you up at 10.. okay boo?" she shot back.
With a sigh, I replied, "Okay bby".
I threw my phone onto my bed and went over to my walk-in closet before stepping inside. I walked around examining everything to find something suitable for the occasion.
I came upon a black, revealing mini dress and took it from its hanger before searching for some shoes to match.
I then saw a pair of black, though see through boots and took them up.
By the time I was completely dressed and ready, it was 9:52 pm. So Sade will be here soon.
I took a moment to admire myself in the mirror. The dress hugged my body perfectly, but also showed quite a bit of skin.
Woiii mek Kai or Daddy see mi!
As if on cue, my phone buzzed. Sade was here. "I'm outside!" the message read.
With a deep breath, I grabbed my phone and slipped it into my tiny clutch, then quickly spritzed on some cologne.
As a gyal yuh affi smell good. Yk?
Or maybe you don't ion know.
I hurried downstairs and opened the front door and was greeted by the sight of Sade-Lynn who was wearing a cropped white shirt and some black leather shorts.
Gyal look good enuh.
"Ouuu yuh look so fucking good baeeeeeee!" she sqeals an I chuckle at her enthusiasm.
"Yuh angle dis mluvvv" I say referring to her outfit and she playfully does a 360 degree turn.
Love mi fren yf.
"Come tek mi picha and mi tek fi yuh" she suggests as she closes the car doors and we get ready to walk inside of the club.
"Okayyy come den nuh" I respond.
After clicking multiple pictures, I handed her the phone.
Love di fact seh she deeven a duh nuff and still look good.
(Jus di outfit yall.)
"Ouuuu yuh hand straight yuh fuck. Anyways your turn" She says before I open my phone and hand it to her.
(As i sayyyy, jus di outfit)
"Okay come guh een now." I say as we turn on our heels and walk inside.
As we stepped into the club, the pulsating bass hit me like a wave, instantly making me feel alive.
"Wah sumo fi drink?" She asks over the loud music and I nod my head in response.
A few moments later, she came back with two drinks in her hands. She then sits beside me before handing me one of the drinks. " Thank you" I say in response as I took a sip of the strong smelling drink, feeling it burn as I swallowed.
Well that's new.
"Arite dah one yah a fi di ladies!!" the dj shouted into the mic.'Bubble' By Armanii began playing and I shot up, putting the drink on the nearby table, Sade following behind me.
Ayyy a fi we song dis enuh!!!
Ready fi bad this di fuck up!
Sade positioned herself behind me, slightly pushing my back down, forming an arch.
As the song started, I moved my hips, not missing a beat.
"...Ole tidy like a janitor
Way how you a bubble and bubble a make yuh batty jaw(jiggle)"
As that part came, my hands found my ankles and I shook my ass to the beat, which caused my dress to ride up a bit, earning a loud "Bomboclaat gyal!" from Sade as she slapped my ass multiple times and pulled it back down.
Merdaaaa suppose mi fada come see mi now?
"Mek mi did ave mi strap and see if mi wuddn fuck yuh off!" Sade teased, her laughter blending with the rhythm, egging me on.
Dah likkle battygyal yah
I thrust my hips back with a playful intensity, feeling the freedom uncoil inside me.
Merdaaa watch miss virgin she
The DJ caught onto our vibe and called out, "Wull on deh, wull on deh! Dah b deh bad yuh fuck!!!!"
Merdaaa a you gyal.
"Pull up dat bomboclaattttt" he shouts before replaying the song.
I got ready to start dancing again but My heart dropped as the sound of gunshots echoed through the club, drowning out the pulsating bass and laughter. A wave of panic washed over me, freezing me in place for just a moment. The vibrant energy that had filled the room seconds ago was abruptly replaced with chaos as people screamed and scrambled for cover.
"Wah di fuck dis?" I stuttered, suddenly hyper-aware of how vulnerable and exposed I felt in my tight dress and heels. My palms grew clammy as I searched for Sade's face, hoping to find her beside me.
As my head was turned, I felt a strong hand around my neck, "Suh a dis yuh really come do Xanai? And yuh mek sure leff yuh location on jus fi fuck wid mi meds doh?" a familiar deep voice spoke.
My head shot around to see Kairo.
Wait mi location did on?
No shit Sherlock.
To say he looked upset would be an understatement.
"Yuh deaf now? Well a ben ova fi people look pon yuh doh?"
Wah di fuck?
"Wah dat affi do wid you? Stop pester mi Kairo and guh watch yuh gyal" I say as my eyebrows furrow.
Kairo tightened his grip around my neck just enough to get my attention but not enough to hurt me. The anger in his eyes was palpable, and I could feel the weight of the club's chaos behind us.
"Love use yuh mouth? Gwaan inna e car and nuh mek we ave nuhn. Yuh know mi head chip a one pawt yet yuh always a try fuck wid mi".
Guh inna wah? afta him jus shame mi suh?
"Sade mi come yah wid, Sade mia guh home wid" I say, feigning nonchalance.
"Come Sade" I say to her and she looks down, fiddling with her fingers.
Doh tell mi a fraid e gyal fraid a dah eedyat bwoy yah.
Seh dat mek him hear nuh gyaliee.
Side yeye.
"She wi text yuh tomorrow." he says to her before pulling me out of the club.
He went to the passenger side and opened the door. "Guh een." I stood up and stared at him blankly.
"Guh inna di fucking car Xanai and nuh mek mi fuck yuh up"
Dis feel like .
Not wanting to create problems, I went into the car, slamming the door behind me.
"Doh fuck up enuh Xanai." he speaks, grabbing my neck as soon as I was in.
After releasing me, he says, "put on e seat belt" and turns his head to the road.
As he starts driving, he asks, "Hungry?" and I mumbled a small no before turning to look out the window.
Just as I said no, my belly growled loudly and I'm certain Kairo heard it.
Mi shameeeeeeeee
Yuh did afi shame mi suh stomach???
"Wah yuh want?" He asks without looking at me. "Wendy's" I say lowly.
He shook his head and drove to the closest Wendy's.
"Want yuh usual?" he asks and I nod briefly, not bothering to verbally answer.
As we came up to the window, he says, "Gimmie a bacon burger combo and a 8 piece nugget combo. Sprite fi di juice and bbq sauce."
Big back big back
He knows me so well...
Merdaaa yuh nuh bada upset again?
Mi still upset but mi hungry too..
He collected the food and handed it to me and placed the drinks in the cup holder.
Mi cyah drink off two juice at once suh mia bring dis home...
"Thank you." I mumble before taking a bite of the burger, almost moaning at the taste.
I hear a low chuckle and glanced at him before turning my head back around and eating my burger.
"Nah wild yuh enuh Xanai, wait till mi wull yuh e right way and fuck yuh up." he speaks plainly.
"Anything yuh seh." I respond, voicing my thoughts.
Mi nah look pon him eno..
"Yuh know mi wi fuck yuh up enuh Xanai. Pull e fucking door." Kairo threatens as I locked him out of my room.
Dat alone yuh do? Yuh nav e man phone inah yuh hand gyal?
Chu mi mek joke seh mah tell him gyal seh him love har. But doesn't he love his girlfriend??
"Yuh know mi wi bruk dis dung enuh."
I chuckled then sighed in defeat before opening the door and allowing him to come in.
As he came inside I handed him the phone and he sat down on my bed before pulling me to sit in his lap, my back facing his chest.
"Look oomuch space ova yah so.. Why mi cuddn sidung deh?" I ask.
"Cause a yasso mi wah yuh. Yav a problem wid dat?" He asks, nuzzling his face in my neck.
"Yes I do." I respond, leaning into his embrace.
