“Still had eyes.”

Keith laughed and threw his arm around Avery’s chair.

Xay didn’t look this time.

At least not immediately.

He waited.

Then he did.

Quick.

Real fucking quick.

I lowered my eyes to my plate before he could catch me watching him.

Okay.

I wasn’t crazy.

Something was there.

I didn’t know what yet.

Didn’t know if they had fucked.

Didn’t know if they were currently fucking.

Didn’t know if my cousin was just another woman Xay wanted and couldn’t have.

But there was something.

And the funniest part?

Avery ain’t seem to be paying Xay no fucking attention.

She was all up under Keith.

Whatever was going on between her and Xay, if anything was going on, I wasn’t about to blow Thanksgiving up over a jaw clench and two little looks.

Nah.

I could wait.

I picked my fork back up and looked over at Sam holding Collin while she talked to Aunt Amanda.

Then at Xay sitting there eating like he didn’t have a care in the fucking world.

I smiled to myself.

Enjoy your food, nigga.

I was watching.

XAVIER

I’m not gonna lie.
