“Is it bad that I’m actually shocked that you said all of this. I expected you to say something way different from that.”
“Damn, tell me what you really think about me.”
“Ok, when I first met you, I thought you were about to swindle me out of my panties and never look back. Us being at this point, wasn’t the plan. Shit, I had no plan, but I just didn’t think we would be together. It's so cliche’ for friends to date friends. I didn’t want you to think that just because Zoo and Sin are with Mimi and PJ that you had to be with me.”
“For one, y’all friends dating cousins so we don’t even fit in that category you are speaking of, ma’am.”
“Brooklyn, you know what I mean. Stop playing. I just didn’t want us to be that; you know? I love the fact that we met before we even knew they knew each other.”
“It’s whatever with me. We would have met, regardless, because what’s meant to be will always be. I do feel like you are what’s meant for me. That’s why I have you saved in my phone asmy person.The bond we have ain’t comparing to nun, you hear me.” He tweaked my chin, pulling a smile out of me.
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“Teddy.” I didn’t have to say anything else. He knew exactly what I meant.
“If I’ll move a mountain, you know I’ll move Teddy for you, too. Anything that’s compromising your peace, Baby, it’s gone. Even if it’s me. It’ll neva be me, though, I can bet my life on that.”
“Yea, ok.” Laughing him off, I jumped in the shower to get ready.
“Baby, after I spank that ass, we gone come back and spank theirs next. I saw a room that say workers only that we gone slide in and slide back out.”
To hear Zoo make plans to fuck PJ at the bowling alley was beyond funny to me. PJ would have never done no shit like that. Not Ms. Prim and Proper. She would have had our heads if we told her that we did anything like that. I wasn’t even disgusted by it at all; I was happy that she stepped outside of her square and started living.
“As long as we hurry up and do it because it literally smells like feet in here.”
Zoo and Brooklyn walked off to go get them a beer. PJ stood up and moved next to me. She kept looking at Zoo as if she was trying to keep an eye on him.
“You good?”
“Can you keep a secret?”
“Nah!”
PJ sucked her teeth at me.
“You already know my ass can’t hold water. What is it?”
“I think I'm pregnant.” Eyes bucked, I leaned away to face her, so that I could fully get a good look at her.
“You serious?”
“You know I don’t know for sure but I haven’t done a test yet because I’m scared as shit, but Google said I’m pregnant. Then, according to them, it’s also a possibility that I have multiple sclerosis with an overlapping disease of rheumatoid arthritis. So again, I don’t know for sure.”
“Are you excited, nervous, have you been sick? Gosh, I have so many questions. Are you ready is the main one?”
“If I am, I guess I don’t have a choice but to be because this baby... if it’s a baby, will come whether I’m ready or not. Zoo, on the other hand, is waiting on me to miss a period. He purposely nuts inside of me and leave his dick in for another ten minutes. He tries his best to not let any nut come back out of me.”
“If you are, I’m happy for you,” I honestly told her. “You guys are moving on with your life and creating families, and I don’t have anyone for real.”
“You got me.” Hearing Brooklyn’s voice had both of us jumping. “And I got a clan of family, so as long as I’m in your life, you’ll never be alone.”
“What y’all talking about, anyway?” Zoo asked as he took a seat next to PJ.
“Nothing, Baby. Everything is good. You ready?” Zoo eyed her before standing back to his feet. She tried to smooth things over by giving him a kiss and judging by the grin on his face, it worked.
Once they walked away, Brooklyn was now looking at me out the corner of his eye. “What were y’all talking about?”
