“Move.”

He didn’t.

Instead, he wrapped both arms around me and put his chin on my shoulder.

“You cooked?”

“Make me a plate.”

I turned my head.

“Get the fuck off me.”

He kissed my cheek again.

“Love you too.”

“Your breath stinks.”

He immediately pulled his head back.

“Damn.”

Levin laughed.

Levin stared at him.

“Nigga, you was supposed to meet me at Freckles.”

Xavier’s whole face changed.

Not dramatically.

Just enough that I saw the memory hit him.

“Fuck.”

Xavier waved him off.

“Give me twenty minutes.”

“You already almost an hour late.”

“And I’m telling you give me twenty minutes.”

Levin sat back down at the table.
