Soyasmirked.“Whoelse?”
As if on cue, Face hopped out of the car. Rolling my eyes, I folded my arms over my belly.
“Damn, Face, I see ya,” ole boy chuckled, as Face moseyed around the car, before stepping onto the sidewalk.
“What’s popping, nigga?” Face asked, as he stepped near the porch, and dapped the dude up.
“Aint shit,” Ole boy responded.
Face nodded, before ambling around him, and walking up the steps on the porch. “What’s up, y’all?” He greeted everyone, while his eyes were trained on me.
“Hey,” they all spoke simultaneously. “Babi, come here. Let me holler at you.”
I rolled my eyes, and kept scrolling through my phone. “Babi?”
Isighedheavily,whileIremainedfocusedonmyphone.
“So,youreallywantmetoembarrassyououthere?”He questioned.
I lifted my head. “What?”
“Man, you heard me,” he fumed. “Bring your muthafuckin’ ass here, before shit gets real.”

“I thought I told you that I wasn’t leaving?” I fussed.
“And as you can see, Ion give a fuck what you said. You finna carry your ass home. Somebody will come pick your truck up later.”
“Iwasn’tdonehangingout.”
“Oh, yeah the fuck you was.” He nodded.
My lashes fluttered. “Nigga, I am grown, in case you forgot.” “You carrying two babies in your womb too, in case you forgot
that. And the last place you need to be is in the hood, sitting on the porch with a broad you literally had a fight with.”
I sighed. “I keep telling you that me and Chell squashed all the bullshit.”
“I wouldn’t give a fuck what was squashed. Keep her out of your personal space. The company you keep matters, lil’ mama. Wake up.” “Yeah,whatever,”Igrumbled,decidingnottogobackand
