Cinnamon led Stank inside. "How you know him?" "That was one of my dad's clients". "Well what he was doing here??" "He came to ask about my dad, he just got out not too long ago. Wait, how you know him?" "Uh, I just know him from around the way. Why he came here though?" "Look, you can't come around here asking questions. You not my man. What you want anyway?" "I'm sorry, I just came to check on you and Jr". "Stank you definitely bout to get cursed out". He laughed, "Dxmn i'm playing girl. But all jokes aside, how you been? Everything good with you and the baby? Passion told me y'all not talking, decided to come check on you". "Did she send you?" "No, I came on my own. What happened between y'all? She said you asked her to leave and all". I wasn't prepared for him to ask me that, I had to think quick. "Oh, I had got a call from my lawyer, she told me some bad news about the policy, I was just upset and needed some time". "Everything good now?" "Stank look, i'm not in the mood for your 21 questions. If that's all, I would like to enjoy my food before it gets cold if you don't mind". "I'm sorry, I was just worried about you. If you need anything, just call me". I walked to the door and held it open. "Goodnight Stank". He walked out but turned around, "Please reach out to Nat. She worried about you". I nodded. He reached for a hug and I slammed the door in his face, "BOY BYE!!"
Just as I finished my food, an unfamiliar number called me. I hesitated but decided to answer anyway. "Hello. Who is this?" It was Pete on the other end. "Hey Simone, it's Pete. Please don't hang up, I need to talk to you". "How the hell you get my number and what could you possibly want?" "Look i'm right around the corner, please I just need 5 minutes. Can I come over?" I thought to myself, "Dxmn what this is, catch Simone up night". I really didn't want to but I agreed, "Let my know when you're outside, you can't come in". He agreed and hung up.
Pete arrived and I went out on the porch. "Hey Simone how you been?" "Pete, what you want? It's late, I'm on my way to bed". He looked at my stomach, "So it's true, you are pregnant. Why you didn't tell me?" "First of all, how was I supposed to tell you after you changed your number? And second, how did you even know?" "I ran into Passion earlier, she told me". "That bxtch!" "Look Pete I didn't tell you cause it's NOT YOURS!! Now lose my number!" I went back in the house and slammed the door. "I can't believe that bxtch!", I thought. "Maybe it is time to call her".
Stank got home, and just sat on the couch. Passion came from the kitchen, and saw the look on his face. "Hey bae. I'm making steaks". He didn't answer. "What's wrong with you?" He took a blunt from behind his ear and lit it. "You knew Cinnamon know Luke?" She looked confused, "No I didn't. How you know they do?" "I just left her house, the nxgga was there". "Oh you just left where?" "Now's not the time. She is carrying my child. Besides, you ain't getting no information right now". "For your information, I went to see the doctor today. He told me she asking for a different doctor for delivery and she found a family to adopt. Oh and I seen Pete, hold him she was pregnant by him". "Well she told me the lawyer told her it was a hold up. What we supposed to do now genius?" A call came in from Pete. "Hold on this Pete". "Hello, Pete wassup?" "You busy?" "No, what's wrong?" "I just left Simone's house, she told me the kid's not mine". "OH. She told me otherwise. I'll get to the bottom of it". "That was Pete, she admitted to him it's not his". Another call came through from Cinnamon. She answered quickly, "OMG girl, I was worried sick about you, is everything okay?" "Yes, I need to fill you in, you home?" "Yeah, come over".
Cinnamon arrived. "Come on in. I'm cooking steaks, you hungry?" "No i'm fine". Stank was still sitting on the couch. "Hey Stank". He threw his hand up. Passion led her in the kitchen. "You can fill me in while I finish cooking". Cinnamon sat at the table. "So what's been up, what happened with you the other night?" "Girl i'm sorry, my lawyer called and told me there was gone be a hold up with the money", I lied. "Dxmn, did she say why?" "Nope. I just got upset. I hope you didn't take it personal". "You know i didn't. I know them hormones crazy", they both giggled. "I got an unwanted guest earlier too", I said to her. "Girl who?!" "Pete. He said he saw you at the store. Why did you tell him?" "I'm sorry, I didn't know you hadn't told him yet". I took a deep breath, "I didn't tell him cause it's not his. It's my weed man's baby".
Stank overheard her back in the living room, "Oh, time to off him for sure".
