Can you believe that I am still craving Peggy even though I found out she is my cousin?

Yeah well, judge all the fuck yuh want, love nuh jus die suh!

The days after the big divulgence had me a bitter mess and I took to DD's pity party. Weed and a few quarts of the rum left over from Miss Murl's repast became our source of surviving the harsh turmoil we were both facing.

Our family had tried their best to see us through the heartache and pain we were both encountering due to our bitter circumstances but a broken heart mixed with longing and sorrow was not easily pushed aside.

My eyes kept roaming around the church because all I wanted was to see Patrice. I found her standing by a pew a few benches across from where I was sitting with DD and a few of his brethren.

I cared not if I was seen devouring her with my eyes like a starving animal but my brief encounter with her on the church veranda was not enough to appease my desire to be with her.

Fuck why mi, why bloodclaat mi?!

She was truly a beauty but a beauty who belong to another beast. I took a brief moment to let my eyes roam to where he was seated a few benches behind me.

He too was drinking her in and I felt much to my dismay the dilemma of his wanting her but being maintained at a distance because of the shitty situation that plagued us.

Look like a true wen dem seh misery love company cause watch mi a reach out to my nemesis like a mi rass compadre.

I followed his line of vision back to Patrice and saw that Myopah was with her and Deenie with her chatty self talking a mile and a half.

What the hell was my cousin up to?

I saw Deenie look over at me and my piqued interest turned to full-blown inquisitiveness that intensified with a sense of dread as my daughter's face caved into a look of wonder.

I stared at Patrice who turned to look at me her eyes burning with something akin to dread but her lips smiling nonetheless.

What the fuck did My say?

My instinct told me to get up and go to them but just then Sam's casket came wheeling in and the moderator was issuing out instructions.

I could only watch in frustration as Patrice practically grabbed a few programs from an unsuspecting usher and moved away only to slightly deflate as her eyes found Medz.

I sighed and turn away. I did not know what was more depressing me wanting a woman I shouldn't or me feeling empathy towards Medz and that very woman.

A pain-filled wail radiated in the church bringing me back to the situation at hand, it was followed by a shout and a few screams of sorrow as the viewing began and a whole other stressful situation arose.

I felt DD's legs begin to shake uncontrollably beside me and his cane clatter to the floor. I gripped his hand tightly as he worked to regain control but the attempt sent beads of cold sweat dotting his forehead.

"Relax bro," I said softly in hopes to aid him in gaining control but Simone's mother screaming at the top of her lungs foiled my attempt.

"Waaaiiieeee mi pick...nneeeee....lawd mi pikneeee goneeeee."

DD trembled some more and I shivered in anguish for my cousin knowing he blamed himself for the situation at hand.

"Ssiiimmoooonnneeee, wake up....lawd help mi jeeezzazzz, wake up nuh!"

"Yow dog mi cyaah bloodclaat tan in yasso no longer jah now," DD said rising only to topple against the bench before him as his legs not yet fully functional and very much trembling could not manage his weight.

I got up and quickly grabbed him instructing someone to pass me the falling cane after which I assisted him from the church ignoring the curious stares and the calls of concern.

I took him to the car as quickly as I could. I watch in concern as he leaned heavily against the passenger door and sighed heavily.

"Tink its best mi guh home enuh because yuh soon si mums n My dem a come out yah fi antagonize mi further wid dem worrying," he said a few minutes later.

"Let mi drive yuh dung," I said moving to head around the driver's side.

"No man nuh Badda wid dat mi can drive mi sef, d foot dem only sheg up wen mi fi walk," he returned stopping me.

I look at him but I could tell me pushing him to let me take him home was not coming to cut it so I took the keys from my pocket and handed them to him.

"Kill off yuh fucking self n c if mi nuh fuck yuh up," I warned him and smile as I got a little chuckle from him.

"Ok bossy mi promise, cause mi nuh waah mek yuh fuck mi."

I laughed and wave him away saying."Dutty bwoy gweh fra yassa."

I saw his smile widen a bit but faltered as he look behind me. I turn to see that the cause was Goodaz and she was purposefully walking toward us.

I was not in the mood for the crosses she was about to bring, but the devil in me stood there and took in every line, curve, dip, and jut of her sexy frame as she walked over her hips swaying to the wuk e money bring e come to me beat of enticement.

Goodaz was a fine gyal just with a dutty reputation.

"OD yuh scarce e," she said stopping inches from me and my eyes found their way to her full breasts with their pebbled nipples.

"Fi good reason," DD said abandoning his desire to leave.

"Yuh name OD?" she asked DD with a nasty glare.

"Yow gyal mine mi---"

"Hey!" I called cutting DD off. "Jus buil man."

DD hiss his teeth and carefully made his way around the car to the driver's side cursing Goodaz under his breath.

"What yuh want?" I ask turning my attention to her (face this time) when I see DD made it around ok.

"Mi waah talk to yuh in private," she responded looking at DD who still hadn't attempted to get in the car.

"Jus seh wah yuh affi seh, please," I told her with a sigh of irritation.

She stood there staring at me much as I did to her a few minutes ago. I could see her appreciation and lust as her eyes roamed over my navy blue single-button pinstripe jacket, the simple white shirt underneath then down to my tight-fitting white pants.

I tapped my TMZ navy blue, suede loafers impatiently and her eyes followed my movements as I watch her it seemed she was weighing if she should continue.

"I have something to tell you," she said in a rush. "Mi pregnant."

I stared at her my face a blank mask as she look expectantly at me.

"Yuh ere weh mi seh?" she asked as my silence raged on.

"So wat mi fi duh bout e?" I finally ask seeing she had some sort of expectation.

"OD yuh fi tap gwaan like yuh nuh undastan wah mi a tell yuh seh, how yu---"

"Hey," a voice said cutting into Goodaz ramblings and we all look to see a familiar smiling face that intently look at me. "Suh mi girl tell yuh d news?"

I had no reason why DD chuckled but it was obvious to me that the bleached-out face, lanky guy with the so called carefree countenance on his acne-scared face was here to prove something.

I stood silently and waited.

"Yeah, she tell OD she a breed, a yuh a d daddy?" DD chimed in with a mischievous grin on his face, "cause a nuh fi mi or OD."

"Moof yuh rass nuh DD," Goodaz snapped, "nobody a chat to yuh waste bwoy?!"

Before it escalated Chrome as I recalled he was called stepped in front of Goodaz and said in a quiet tone that belied the harshness in his words.

"Best we tek e news for what it is. It's my yute an no raffling naah take place because a gyal up inna r feelings fi a man weh nuh want r."

"Mi figure as much," DD laughed.

I stared in shock as it dawned on me that Goodaz wanted to make me believe the baby was mine.

Was she fucking serious?! Of all the places to pull a stunt like this.

This bitch does not know where to draw the line.
