KENNEDY
|1 year later|
"Mama!"
"Kenny, we're back!"
Meeting at them halfway I embraced my two favorite boys at the door, Hezekiah didn't waste any time running into the living room to play Fortnite.
"Hi mama"
"Wassup, did you have fun at nana's house?"
"Mm, no" nodding he smiles dragging his back bag into the living room
Although he said no that's not what he meant, he gets confused when answering questions but we're working on it.
Shoota came up the porch steps with a grin holding a hand full of cake pops.
"Is it red velvet?"
"Try it and find out" stepping inside he closed the front door behind him, pulling me into a hug he skimmed his nose over my shoulder blade. "I missed you"
"Uh uh, don't start that shit" pulling away I took the cake pops going into the kitchen, not missing a beat he followed behind me groaning. "you always tryna start something"
"Why won't you give it a try?"
"Because it's wrong and you know that"
"It's not" leaning against the counter he crossed his arm rolling his eyes.
"Yes it is, I've seen you as a brother for so long how am I supposed to date you? It's weird"
"People do it all the time Ken, that's not a real reason"
"What about my son? Hmm, he looks at you as his uncle. I don't need you confusing him"
"He's one year old he has plenty of time to adjust, just give me a chance"
"No, leave it alone" rolling my eyes while unwrapping one of the cake pops I watched him go through my refrigerator.
"How long are you going to fight me on this?"
"The sooner you give up the better"
Every other day he brings this up, last year after my trip I couldn't get the last conversation Bubba and I had out of my head so I asked Lucky who was he talking about. From what I was told Shoota and Bubba developed a crush on me at the same time, instead of competing for my attention Shoota told Bubba to ask me out.
All these years Shoota's been quiet about it, well that is until I found out, and now he's been trying to shoot his shot nonstop.
"I've waited this long, I'd give it another month or two"
"You make me sick" brushing past him I faked a smile when we made eye contact going into the living room. "Bubbi!"
"Hmm" looking up from his toys with a smile he waves leaning against Hezekiah's side.
"You've been gone all weekend, where's my hugs and kisses?"
"I'll give 'em to you, come here" Shoota mumbles creeping up behind me, touching my lower back.
"Touch me again and see if I don't break yo face"
"Up," Bubbi says coming up to me with his hands up, squatting down I scooped him up grabbing ahold of Shoota's pants leg to pull myself up.
"Something wrong with your knees?" laughing while checking his phone he went and sat on the couch. "did Game tell you he's coming to get Hezekiah?"
"No, why does he need Kiah now? Didn't Lucky see him over the weekend?"
"You know why, Jeremiah can only have visitation on Monday's"
