“I nibbled. I was saving my appetite for the party.”
He chuckled lowly. “I wonder if this baby gon’ be greedy like you.”
“Umm, excuse me. You mean greedy like us.”
He smirked. “So, you gon’ sit here and act like you don’t eat more than me?”
“That’s not an act. That’s a fact.”
“Dai, how many times have we had a meal where you’ve eaten your food and some of mine?”
“I don’t know what you talkin’ bout.” I looked away, smiling.
“How bout that time we went to the Taco Factory? We both had meals. I went to the bathroom and came back, two of my tacos was gone.”
“I told you they fell.” I laughed.
“There was no food on the floor.”
“Them people took pride in a clean establishment.”
“Mannn.” He shook his head and sat back in his seat. “Greedy.”
“That example don’t count.”
“Yeah, aight,” he said, standing. “I’ma see what they have over there and bring you a plate.”
“You don’t have to. I can…”
“I got it.”
He started walking away before I could stand. Some things about Pryce would never change. It didn’t matter the time that passed or how complicated things were for us currently. If he said he was doing something for me, it was done. I watched himcross the room until he disappeared into the crowd. Sitting back in my chair, I pulled out my phone to text Ebone.
Me: Remind me again why it’s not good to go backwards in a relationship please.
My Other Half: You sure you texted the right number?
Me: Come on, Eb. Stop playin’. I’m serious.
My Other Half: Bitch, me too. You know I done spun a couple blocks. I ain’t never been shamed about it either. It’s over once my mind and body stop craving you. Until then, REVERSE REVERSE.
Me: Lmao. You really irk me.
My Other Half: So you say. How’s the party? I saw your pics on IG. Cat’s out the bag now. My girl showing out.
Before I left the house, I took a few pictures and uploaded them to my page with the caption,Bumpin around.Now that the most important person in the world knew, I no longer felt the need to hide.
Me: It’s going really well. Key put on another successful Sullivan production. And they loved on me and Baby Boo.
My Other Half: Pryce too?
Me: We had a… moment.
My Other Half: Baby steps. I like it.
I started to type my reply when Kyiris came over with two women, one I recognized from Sullivan’s Diner, but the other didn’t look familiar.
“Hey, boo. I wanted to introduce you to the newest additions of the Sullivan family by way of Aura and Enzo,” Key said. “You may have seen Danae before. And this is her cousin, Thyri.”
