“Oh hell nah, don’t give me that half ass sentiment. It don’t hit the same if you don’t put the “I” first.”
“You irritating as hell.Ilove you, Yanna.”
“I love you too, Nyxie pooh.”
“Never call me that again,” Onyx demanded, remembering when his ex, Brea, used to call him that. “Take y’all asses to sleep or something. Bye.”
“Did he just hang up on us?” Yanna asked.
“Hell yea, muh’fuckas think I’m the rude one, but I get it from his ass.”
“Clearly. Anyway, what’s the business you had to handle earlier?”
“Damn, you nosey as fuck. I went to see my dad.”
“Wow, really?”
“Yep.”
“And where’d you go after that?”
“Met Kalil at Club Link.”
“Yea? Y’all was with some bitches?”
“Nah,” Kas replied, but Yanna could tell just by the tone in his voice that he was lying.
“Kasra Hussein, don’t lie to me. I’ll call Kalil right now and ask if bitches were with y’all.”
“Bruh, won’t no bitches with us. Wait, why the fuck do you even have my cousin’s number?” Yanna chose not to answer that question but gave Kas a devious simper. “Hell nah, delete that shit.”
“Kas.”
“Kas my ass, delete it and let me see it.”
“Ugh.” Yanna pulled out her phone, deleted Kalil’s contact info, and showed her phone to Kas.
“Good, ain’t no reason for you to have my cousin’s phone number.”
“It’s gone, damn. Now… how did things go with you and your dad?”
“Um,” Kas started, scratching his chin indicating he was in deep thought. “It was ight for real. It’s crazy, but the nigga kind of remind me of me.”
“You mean personality wise?”
“Yea, I gave his ass hell soon as he opened up his door, and he won’t having it. It’s like he gave Onyx his looks and me his personality.”
“Lord, I know he gave Ms. Layla a run for her money.”
“I wouldn’t know about all that. We didn’t get to talk about their relationship. I’m not sure I want to know for real.”
“You know you want to know. What you’re really worried about is Onyx. Are you going to tell him about meeting up with your dad?”
Kas released a deep sigh, that question being prevalent in his mind since he left Nouri. “I don’t know, man. Nyx thinks about this shit differently than I do. I hope he comes around, though, because I do want to get to know Nouri and Maya.”
“Talk to him then.”
“Yea, we’ll see.”
