Chapter Three

When Dickie and Jody finished eating and drinking, she came into his arms and started dancing again. They left the party at around two o’clock that morning and went to his house to sleep. She cooked a big breakfast and they sat and had it. She said she had to go home to her daughter. He asked her how old she was and she said two years, but her mother was keeping her. She said she worked in Linstead as a counter clerk in a pharmacy. He dropped her home and was relaxing on his veranda when Marge called him.

“Dickie, you brute, I knew that you were no good. You had three women fighting over you. I suppose you went to sleep with Jody. Aileen said that you planned to sleep with Camille too. You’re really a no good.”

“You’re going on as if Dillon is much better than me.”

“I didn’t say so, but no girls were fighting over him last night though,” she said and ended the call.

***

Half an hour later, Jean called him.

“Worthless Dickie, you alone have three women fighting over you. I suppose you went to sleep with Jody. Aileen said you planned to sleep with Camille too last night. Is that true?”

“I never slept with either of those girls last night. It was jealousy, why Aileen was behaving that way.”

“I’m afraid of you. I don’t want any girl to attack me because of you,” she said and ended the call.

***

Jody was at her house Sunday when Aileen called her.

“Did Dickie pay you to sleep with him last night? How much did he pay you?”

“Please come out of my business, Aileen. You don’t own him. I’m giving it to him so good that he doesn’t want you again, girl.”

“You’re just a cheap girl. He’s not the first man you’ve sold yourself to. As far as I’m concerned, he’s just using you.”

“Aileen, you can’t tell me what to do with my body. I sleep with any man I please. You’re keeping man with him and he knows it.”

“He’s a man who can’t keep his mouth shut. He goes around the place telling everybody about you. He says that you’re so easy. He just has to snap his fingers and you’re ready to jump into bed with him.”

“I thought you said he was paying me to sleep with him.”

“Of course, that’s what he’s doing. You can have him for all I care,” Aileen said and ended the call.

Marge was sleeping peacefully in the early hours of the morning when a woman called her. She told her that Dillon had just left Jackie’s house and was on his way to Sanya’s house. She didn’t recognise the voice, but thanked her, nevertheless.

***

Jean was at home after the party and she was sleeping. Her

man, Reece was beside her, also snoring. Her cell phone

rang and she picked it up. She wondered who it could be. She wasn’t familiar with the number.

“Can I speak to Reece?”

“Who are you? Why do you want to speak to him?”

He hadn’t stirred. She decided to cut off the call. Five

minutes later the woman called back.

“Can I speak to Reece? Why did you cut me off?”

She didn’t answer as he had now woken up.

“Who’s that?”

“One of your baby mothers.”

She gave him the phone and he went into the kitchen. He came

back, gave her the phone and started sleeping again. After he

left that morning, the same woman called again.

“My name is Reeva Thomas and I know that you’re Jean Lloyd. Why are you keeping him away from his children. I

have two children for him and they can’t go to sleep until he comes home. What do you have enticing him away from them?”

“I’m not the one keeping him away from them. I have always encouraged him to go home to them.”

“From he met you, everything has changed. He hardly wants to come home again. You have something enticing him away from me.”

“Listen, Reeva as a woman, I have the same things as you. I don’t have anything giving him to eat or drink out of the

ordinary. All I know is that I take damn good care of him. Please, don’t call my number again.”

“You have a nerve. You’re sharing my baby father with me. Any night I can’t find him, I’m going to call you.”

“I’m not the only woman he has.”

“You’re the only one I know about. You should look a man for yourself and leave him alone. I’ll scandalize you. I’ll come

up to the clinic and give you a proper tracing. You’re

just a worthless girl by sleeping with other people’s man.”

“I didn’t look him, he looked me. You were only trying to hold him by having children with him. But he left you and came to me because I have what he wants.”

“You should ask him why he got me pregnant two times. He has never denied that my children are his. He’s just using you and will soon get tired of you.”

“A man has never gotten tired of me and left me. I’ll know when to show him the door,” Jean said and ended the call.

***

Jackie and Dillon were resting up at her apartment in Rosemount, Linstead. Actually, it was the half side of the house and he was paying the rent for her. She was a tall girl of brown complexion and was in her middle twenties. She had a two-year old daughter for him. She was working at a pharmacy in Linstead as a store clerk. Outside it was slightly drizzling.            

“I hardly see you nowadays. Why are you not coming to look for me?”

“You should remember that I’m very busy, running my various businesses.”

“That shouldn’t stop you from coming to look for me. Surely you don’t work all night. It’s Marge isn’t it? You’re so busy

with her that you don’t have any time for me. Is she giving it to you so good that you’ve forgotten about me?”

She got up and flaunted her body at him.

“None of your women are as beautiful or as sexy as I am. I don’t know what’s the problem. My body is still fresh. You know how many guys come around, asking me to go out with them. If you stop paying me any attention, I’ll just have to say yes to one of them. Don’t forget that I’m still a young woman and I have needs.”

“I’ll soon be around more often. Don’t be fooled by those other guys. You know what they want already. Some of them just want to sample you before moving on to a different girl.”

He gave her some money before leaving.
