“Reek sent me to install security cameras in your unit.”
Rolling my eyes, I stepped aside and let Jamir in. He followed me as I stomped towards the nursery, in search of my phone. When the girls saw my attitude and Jamir, they got concerned.
“What’s wrong?” Zahra asked.
“Reek sent Jamir over here to install cameras.”
“Okay?” Tempos asked, still confused by my attitude.
“Where are you installing these cameras?” I asked Jamir.
He looked around the apartment, answering, “Entry points. Main living area. Hallway leading to the bedrooms.”
I folded my arms. “And Reek will have access to them?”
“Yes.”
“That’s unnecessary,” I said.
Tempo glanced over from the closet. “After what just happened at your pop-up?”
“I don’t need him being able to see any and everything happening in my condo,” I fussed. “That’s not weird and stalkerish to y’all?”
Tempo shrugged. “Its cameras all over my house.”
“Mine too,” Zahra muttered.
“The homes you share with your husbands,” I reminded them. “I don’t need him watching everything I do. That’s weird.”
Jamir stood there quietly, probably wishing he had sent one of his assistants instead of coming himself.
I pulled my phone out and called Reek with the phone on speaker.
He answered after two rings. “What’s up, baby mama?”
“Why is Jamir in my house to install cameras?”
“Because after what happened at that event, there’s no way I’m not having eyes on where my child lays his head.”
“Told you,” Tempo muttered.
“The baby isn’t here yet,” I shot back.
“I need eyes on you too.”
“You’re doing too much.”
“No, I’m doing what will keep you safe.”
“You didn’t ask me.”
“I’m telling you now.”
That irritated me more. “That’s not how asking works.”
He let out a breath that sounded like he was trying not to get annoyed. “Ava, they shot up your event in broad daylight. Men died. You were inside that building with my baby in your stomach. I’m not playing around with this.”
“And I said you’re doing too much.”
