Maybe not at all.

Because if Dr. Loud could get me in early enough, Xavier would never have to know there had been another baby to begin with.

I pulled my shorts back up and grabbed my phone off the counter.

“So you still gon be fucking with that nigga Keith?” Xay asked behind me.

I already had my phone unlocked, texting Keith back.

I chuckled.

“Nigga, I’ll be sucking his dick by tonight.”

Xay sucked his teeth. “You lying.”

I looked up from my phone.

“This?” I motioned between me and him. “This wasn’t nothing but a mercy fuck.”

“A mercy fuck?”

“Yes.”

“That’s what we calling it?”

“That’s what I’m calling it.”

He laughed and shook his head. “You full of shit, Ave.”

“And you married.”

“That ain’t got shit to do with what just happened.”

“It got everything to do with it.” I went back to my phone. “You came over here jealous, threw your little tantrum, got what you wanted. Congratulations.”

“My little tantrum?”

“Mhm.”

“You wasn’t calling it a tantrum five minutes ago.”

I looked up.

“Don’t get beside yourself.”

Xay walked closer. “You still want me.”

“And?”

That shut him up for half a second.

I shrugged.

“Wanting your dick don’t mean I want you, Xavier. Learn the difference.”

His face tightened.

I smiled and looked back at my phone.
