“He took accountability in a way that shocked me. And it wasn’t his version of accountability either. It didn’t come with that deal with it or don’t attitude. Yet it was still honest and raw. Still very Pryce.”
Key hummed.“Mr. Grinch out here making changes for the better. I love to see it.”
“And how you feel now?”Ebone asked.
“Now…”I paused, thinking about all that we’d talked about.“Now, we’re making a conscious decision to committing to do things differently,”I finished.
“And that’s what I like to hear,”Key said immediately.
“Like two people who never stopped loving each other and knew that it was never really over,”Ebone concluded.
“Yeah. Kinda like that,”I agreed.
“And what about Trill?”Ebone asked.
“What the rapper nigga with the fucked-up grills got to do wit’ this?”Key asked seriously, but Ebone fell out laughing.
“Please drop this bitch from the call, Dai. I cannot laugh anymore. What is wrong witchu?”
“Nothing,”she answered.“I’m being so forreal. Fill me in.”
“I was dating him.”
“Ooouu, bitch, you sure know how to keep a secret. You could’ve been part of them B12 niggas from wit’ Olivia Pope daddy.”
“Key!”I squealed, laughing out loud.“It was B613, girl.”
“Oh.”She snickered.“You know what I meant.”
“I mean, it wasn’t really a secret. Your cousin found out I was pregnant from a post on The Shade Room.”
“Oh, then bitch, y’all was serious?”
“No. He did some goofy shit, and that’s how we ended up on there. But to answer your question, Eb, I told him that I was back home and working things out with my child’s father.”
“And what he say?”she questioned further. Just nosey.
“He ain’t like it, but what could he do?”
“Get his ass good and whooped if he even play like he can’t accept rejection,”Key answered.
I nodded because Pryce already made that clear. Only there wouldn’t be fists but bullets for sure.
“On a lighter note,”Key spoke again.“When y’all finding out the gender of Baby Sullivan?”
“Tomorrow morning. I wanna do a gender reveal maternity photoshoot.”
“Girl, that was my next question. Can I set your shoot up? Like I’ll book everything and style y’all. It’ll be an early baby shower gift. All y’all gotta do is show up. Oh, wash y’all ass too. That’s an absolute must before you come.”
“Okay. You think you can get it done this week? My dad is back home, and I wanna surprise him and my mom with it.”
“Yeah. If you want, we can do it that Wednesday.”
“Perfect. I’ll let Pryce know. Oh, he said he don’t want his feet out at all.”
“Good. Cause I don’t wanna see them. Text me your size, so I can grab what I need.”
“Okay, cool.”
