Pause.
“You coming over later?”
I chuckled.
Some new bitch.
Good.
Maybe that meant he’d get the fuck out the house tonight and I could have some peace.
He looked over at me and nodded.
I nodded back and headed toward the kitchen.
I opened the refrigerator.
“Unc!”
I looked over my shoulder.
Henry came from the back hallway with his backpack over one shoulder and keys in his hand.
“Oh shit. What’s up, nephew?”
We dapped.
“How’s it hanging?”
“Chilling. About to go see Charlene, then head to class.”
Henry had started taking a couple college classes while he finished high school.
Charlene’s idea.
She told his ass it would look good when he started sending college applications out, and surprisingly, Henry listened.
Good woman.
I pointed at him.
“That girl good for you, nephew. Keep her.”
Henry laughed.
“I sure am.”
He walked over and dapped Levin.
“Pops, can I use the car?”
Levin moved the phone away from his ear.
“Which one, nigga?”
Henry smiled.
“You know which one.”
