Hi Summer sweetie!

TAH!!!! moi?!?! lol

Lol what a welcome! I'll take that hug
I was in the mood for some Jamaica and popped in here.

You know, was thinking.. Yours was the very first trip report I ever came across.
What 10?? maybe 12 years ago!
The BEST writing/photos. Never disapoint!

Write on my friend

Okay you’ve got some memory my friend. I wrote my first trip report in 2004. One day I had nothing to do so I printed it. All 400+ pages. You make me want to dust it off and read it. Would you believe I’ve never read it after the final post??? Anyway, it is really good to have you aboard for this one. Roots, please don’t go far because like I said, I hope to make that one my best report ever.

The place was packed. Teenagers in all shapes and sizes moving about everywhere, but not many adults. Adults, I’m referring to those who appear to be over 25. I observed most to be between 12 and 18. But this was no typical teen party…or maybe it was…for Sheffield.

It was soon obvious that the open space directly in front of the car is one of the yard’s rest rooms…minus the porcelain, minus the sink, minus the walls. By the time the fourth guy stood profiled in front of me and released a “stream” into the bush, I no longer felt embarrassed having a front seat view. But when the ladies stopped to squat, I had to turn away and resist the urge to hand them a wet wipe. All the while people were passing by in both directions without even given that area a glance.

“That’s the way you do it here.” says Drivah A; followed by a shrug.

Speaking of people passing by in both directions, I asked if the field has other openings? Perhaps back THAT way (behind us) from where all those young folks are coming. He glanced back then looked at me as if to say…look closer at those young folks coming from THAT direction.

I did. The girls…some of the young ladies’ disheveled appearance was hard to ignore.

“So…they go back there to….”
“Yes. It’s darker back there. Easy to “slip in” “slip out” so to speak.”
“Forget them. What about your daughter? What time is it?”
“10:49”
“Good, she should be coming out soon?”
“Yes.”

[TAH]

His daughter. She comes from the "slip in, slip out" area, doesn't she?

[kaycee]

Ohhhh my,lol!! I remember my teenage years...

[goldilocks]

I was once walking on the beach from Alfred's late night with another couple and she squatted right there on the beach while he stood holding her hand. how romantic....LOL

No TAH, and thank goodness. Some of those girls looked worked over pretty thorough.

Ohhhh my,lol!! I remember my teenage years...

Yeah, a scene like that definitely brings it all back.

ROLLLLLLLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I take a drink to move my mind off the things some young people do in the name of being young and under supervised. The dancehall helped keep me distracted and out of their business as they parade pass me adjusting their tops & hair.

Was actually liking the tunes and began feeling like dancing. But the plan was to stay in the car so we don’t embarrass the daughter when she comes out. So now I’m wondering…why would she be?

“Hey, how old is your daughter?”
“She just turned 14.”
“Aren’t you worried about her being out here?”
“No…she goes to parties all the time with her friends.”

I couldn’t resist so I asked…about…protection…gasp. Dang I wish I could remember the song that played in the background when he told me since she was 11 he’s the one who makes sure she has “protection”. I guess I’ve been out of the overly-guarded mommy role longer than I thought because his answer didn’t set right with me. End of conversation…I need to dance.

“The time must be after 11:00. Maybe you should call her?” He picked up the phone to call. I get out to walk closer to the entrance, but not far from the car. People were leaving out, but still many were going in.

I dance.
He joins me.
We dance.

The vibe, unfortunately, is contradictory. Don’t know if it’s because I’m tired…hot…restless…unsettled…tipsy...whate ver. All I know is the music is cranked, demanding I move to its ferocious tempo, but the rhythm between us ain’t flowing at all. I can’t stay in sync with the beats. me twist when me shudda wine, me wine when me shudda dip n go dung low. He on the other hand, was trying to carve his hopes, dreams and perverted fantasies over my ass with his “tool”. I try not to make a fuss because it is dancing; however I can’t help feeling how stupid we must look. He’s short…so short I can’t tell if the “tool” is actually his mid-section or his chin. This isn’t working. I’m ready to jet.

“Hey…dude…you reach your daughter?”
“Wha?????”
“Your daughter. Did you talk to her?”
“Yeah…yeah…she get annoda ride and gone home.”

I can’t react. I stare with disappointment at the silhouette our incompatible bodies cast on the ground. Cha…my precious second to last night in Jamaica…wasted.

“Vi….” As he stands on his tip toes to whisper in my right ear.
“Yeah??”
“You make my nature…..”
“Sorry A, but it’s not that kind of party.”

I snap a picture of the ground, throw back a rather large swallow of my drink, pry myself from his grip and walk back to the car. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long ride back to Negril. Cha!

[Summer]

It took me a second or two to figure out what make my nature meant..some nerve eh!
