Page 320 of K.I.N.: Karma Is Near

Keith had already texted me back.

Xay tried looking at my screen.

I turned it away.

“Mind your fucking business.”

“You really bringing that nigga Thursday?”

“Absolutely.”

“You doing that shit to piss me off.”

I laughed.

“Nigga, Thanksgiving ain’t about you.”

I walked past him and grabbed Carter out the playpen.

“And Keith is coming because I want him there. You being mad about it is just a little holiday bonus.”

“Keep playing with me, Avery.”

I stopped at my bedroom door and looked back at him.

“You the one playing, Xay. With everybody.”

His face changed a little.

I smiled.

“Now go home to your wife and lock my door on your way out.”

I walked into my bedroom and shut the door before he could say anything else.

My smile disappeared as soon as I was alone.

Because there I was talking all that shit about Keith, Thanksgiving and mercy fucks while a positive pregnancy test was sitting in my bathroom garbage.

And the stupid motherfucker standing on the other side of my bedroom door had no idea he’d knocked me up.

Again.

I put my hand against my stomach and sighed.

“Fuck.”

One problem at a time.
