Could I?

Maybe.

Would it be believable?

Keith already treated Carter like she was his sometimes and that wasn’t even his baby. He’d been buying shit, helping me, giving me money, showing up.

And now here I was thinking about putting another man’s baby on him?

I stood up.

“No.”

Then stopped.

I looked at myself in the mirror.

“…Maybe.”

Fuck.

A knock hit the bathroom door.

“Ave?”

Keith.

I locked my phone so fast I damn near dropped it.

“What?”

“You good?”

“Yeah.”

“You been in there a minute.”

“My stomach fucked up.”

“You need anything?”

I looked at the door.

There went that shit again.

This nigga actually checking on me.

“No. I’m good. I’ll be out in a second.”

“Aight.”

I heard his footsteps disappear.

I looked back down at my phone.
