“My house.”
Avery’s eyes widened.
“Oh, wow.”
I pointed at Heather.
“That ain’t got shit to do with this.”
“It got everything to do with this! You were at my house with Collin while your son with your WIFE was waiting for you!”
“I lost track of fucking time!”
Silence.
I breathed hard.
“Okay. Fine. I fucked up.”
Heather stared at me.
“But y’all sitting here acting like I’m some deadbeat nigga running around making babies and disappearing. I take care of mine.”
Avery laughed.
“Except you owe me four thousand dollars.”
I looked at her.
“Oh, come the fuck on.”
“Where my money?”
“You got Keith.”
Her face went blank.
“What?”
“You heard me.”
“What the fuck Keith got to do with the money YOU owe me?”
“He taking care of you.”
“So?”
“So you ain’t hurting for it.”
Avery handed Carter to Heather.
“Hold my baby.”
“Avery.”
“No. Hold my fucking baby.”
Heather took Carter.
