I laughed.
Kiana didn’t.

She looked at the screen.
Xay cut his eyes toward her.
“Why you gotta say it out loud?”
Kiana looked up slowly.
“Because you owe it out loud.”
Tyler turned his face away, laughing.
“Man, fuck y’all.”
“Kiana,” I said.
“I got it.” She tapped the screen with one of those long-ass red nails. “I’ll line it up.”
I looked at Xay.
“Friday.”
“I heard you.”
“And if you don’t—”
He looked at me.
“I’m fucking your ass up.”
Simple.
Xay burst out laughing.
Not a nervous laugh either.
This nigga genuinely thought I was joking.
“Aight, tough guy.”
I didn’t laugh.
Tyler didn’t either.
Kiana looked between us.

Xay apparently forgot.
