She hung up on me.
“I’m half tempted to call her back and bitch her out for hanging up on me,” I muttered as I handed the phone back to Granger.
And then all at once, a round of applause sounded around me, as a few people laughed.
“Remind me to never piss you off,” Granger said.
Tatum grinned, “I so need your number, girl.”
Granger looked at Carter, who was smiling widely, “She’s done this kind of thing before?”
Carter nodded, “Oh yeah. She can be vicious when she wants to be. And when my family has an issue, they always call Harlee. She’ll either roast someone verbally or take the attention off one of us and point it elsewhere.”
I grinned, then shrugged my shoulders. “I might be small, but I’m mighty.”
Tatum chimed in then, “Want to call her and see if she blocked you?”
Granger grimaced, “Nope.”
“Speaking of blocking, why haven’t you done it already?” Carter asked him.
Granger looked at him, “You can do that?”
Carter shook his head. “Hand me your phone.”
Once he blocked Kendra’s number, he handed Granger back his phone.
“How’d you know you could do that?” I asked him.
He winked down at me, “First, it was Talia who did it for Garrick. Pamela. Then she did it for me. Janie. And so on and so on.”
I nodded.
Granger shook his head as he pocketed his phone, then, like it was a symphony, his stomach growled, followed by Tatum’s, then Carter’s, then mine.
I chimed in then, “Y’all got plans after this?”
They both shook their heads.
At that, I looked up at Carter, “Swing by Gusher’s and actually eat some real food?”
He winked, “Sounds good.”
“Gushers?” Granger asked.
“Is that a pun?” Tatum asked.
I grinned.
Once the banquet was over, Granger and Tatum followed Carter and me to Gushers.
And when they walked in, they started giggling.
“Thought it was a strip club?” I asked as we all sat down.
When they nodded their heads, I giggled.
To say the meal we had was a little better would be a lie.
