“You want them to?”

She shrugged and moved some of the remaining food on her plate around with a fork.

“They’re your folks. I just don’t want you, him, or Solo feeling incomplete since you haven’t been letting him go over there either.”

“They not about to choose between my kids like they did me and Noah.” I shook my head. “That shit ain’t going on with anybody.”

“I get it, bae, trust me. I just don’t want you to regret it later or feel like I don’t want your family involved,” she assured. “Now, visits would, of course, need to be supervisedby both of usbecause I don’t trust your mother or what she would do to ourson after requesting that I get an abortion, but your dad isn’t all that bad.”

“That’s what you think,” I mumbled, then changed the subject.

Kaori wasn’t the only person that thought my mother was more of the culprit, hell even Noah thought the same, but naw, his ass was just as bad, he just liked to hide behind his bible. Either way though, it wasn’t important at the time because they had a long ass journey ahead of them before that shit came into fruition.

I sat outsideof the crib we had in Crescent Pointe for at least thirty minutes before finally killing the engine to my whip and heading inside. I took so long because I faced two blunts before having to deal with this shit. Bino’s bitch ass had been begging me to sit down and have a conversation with Scoot, but I had been curving him. I wasn’t in the headspace to do that shit. How I felt, distance was the best thing for us because if I had to sit around the nigga I would really fuck him up, especially if I had that drank in my system.

As I made my way inside, my phone vibrated with a text from Kaori.Be nice and practice self-control. He made a mistake, but y’all are besties, baby.

We’re some street niggas, bae, fuck I look like having a bestie?

Best buddies?

lmao fuck out of here!

Okay, thunder buddies.

You funny, mama.

Just trying to make you smile. Is it working?

Seeing your name on my phone screen achieved that.

Aw, baby.

lol, I’m ’bout to go inside.

Do you have your AirPods?

You random as hell, but yeah, I do.

Put one in so I can listen.

Kaori, get the fuck on lol. Nosy as shit.

You’re going to tell me anyways.

Naw, I’m not lol.

We pillow talk.

You pillow talk when I got that ass in the air beating that pussy out the frame.

Bye nasty. Be nice. I love you.

I love you more.

After pocketing my phone, I went inside. Hearing the music blasting let me know they were in there. When I walked in I saw Bino sitting on one end of the sectional rolling up while Scoot was on the other end swiping through his phone.

“Damn, ’bout fuckin’ time, my nigga,” Bino said when he noticed me enter the room. “Fuck took you so long.”
