“Don’t Ma me.”
I took a sip of my tea. “Everything was fine at first.” I started telling her about the baby shower, the food and decorations. Everybody being together then I got to Kim.
Mama frowned. “Who is Kim?”
I shook my head. “That’s the problem.”
“What problem?” She asked.
“She was some woman Deuce been dealing with apparently.”
Mama sat back. “Deuce got another woman?”
I looked down at my glass. “Apparently.”
“Apparently?” Mama sucked her teeth. “So what happened?”
“She showed up.”
“Where?”
“At the baby shower.”
Mama’s eyes got big. “Why?”
“Attention.”
I shook my head. “She came in with these big gift bags like she was invited.”
“What did she want?”
“Deuce.”
“At your best friend’s baby shower?”
“Yep.”
Mama shook her head. “Lord.”
“And then she started talking about her bringing gifts for her and Deuce’s twins.”
Mama blinked. “Their twins?”
“She said she was pregnant with twins.” I shrugged.
“By Deuce?” Mama asked.
“That’s what she said.”
Mama stared at me. “What did you do?”
I looked at her. “What do you think I did?”
She raised an eyebrow. “Did you whoop her ass?”
I couldn’t help but smile. “Yes.”
Mama nodded. “Mama taught you well.”
