::: November | Saturday :::

The afternoon became hot and humid by the time Zach had finished his ice-cream cone. Currently, Zach, his mother and father were returning to the vehicle when they somewhat got separated - Odane, a random shop on the plaza; Zach, the bathroom; June, outside awaiting Zach's return. When Odane rejoined June, she was tapping away at her phone answering messages from old clients.

Right then, a familiar woman stepped out of the ladies' room and greeted June. "Oh, hi, June. Who's this?" Naomi curiously peered at Odane.

"I'm her b-"

"He's my breddrin," June quickly corrected. What a bright bloodclaat bwoy.

Naomi found how quickly June answered as odd, it made her eyes glisten. "Hm, I see." Naomi looked down to her phone, gazed up and waved her hand in the air. "Phiya! Ova yaso!"

What a small world, June thought as she watched the always-deliciously clad man walk over to them. Kellon wrapped an arm around Naomi's waist when she stepped into his hold. Giving both June and Odane an odd glance, he silently whisked his girlfriend away.

Watching the departing couple, Odane's eyes narrowed. "A who dat?"

"Question Tsu, Odane," June said with a roll of her eyes. "Go check on Zach, please. Him a tek too long." When they returned a minute later, June asked her son, "Yu wash yu hands properly?"

Nodding, the child ran off, his parents trailing behind him.

"Me think mi have a right fi know who dat man weh did a pree yu so."

Ketch entitlement. . . "Why's that? We nuh deh."

"No, but maa yu babyfather."

"Dat doh mean one fawt."

"Of course it does. Memba we seh no partner round Zach."

June side-eyed the infuriating man. "Yaa hear yuself? The man deevn acknowledge me, and him have him woman as yu can see."

"Dat nuh mean him cya waa yu-"

"Because yu know all boh cheaters, huh?" she snapped.

Odane sighed, giving up on proving whatever point he wanted to make.

"Exactly," she said, feeling her anger and annoyance rise. With a hiss of her teeth, June increased her pace. She'd hate to think that walking side-by-side with this man for the past few hours made him think they were still that madly in-love high school couple.

Man weird nuh fuck, June thought for the umpteenth time as she moved about Mr. Cross' kitchen.

Since Kellon saw June with Odane two weeks ago, he'd been avoiding her ever since. Well, so she thought, anyways.
