Atlanta, Georgia
One month later
I was checking up on my little brother and ended up watching a basketball game with him.
"How's gabby?". He asked.
"She good, working on my last nerve". I said shaking my head
"Y'all ain't never got along since she started acting weird".
"I don't know, it's complicated". Texting de'arra back, I locked my phone and kris looked at me.
"You texting my nurse?". I laughed and shook my head.
"Stay in your lane lil dude, stay out grown people business".
"Nigga you only 24, I'm two years younger". He said shaking his head.
"I don't care, mind your business lil bro". Kris nodded his head and pointed at me.
"Okay bitch remember that". I laughed and continued to watch the game.

"Hello?". I said on the phone with gabby.
"Where are you?".
"At the store, why?". Looking for some candy, I grabbed a bag and some sprite.
"Because, I'm always here while you out".
"Well look, I just came from work so I'll be there later".
"I thought you was with kris?".
"Bruh, I got called in. Chill out". I hung up and paid for my things".

Walking in the house, gabby was on the couch eating chips.
"Hi babe".
"What's good". I said on another chair and ran my hands down my face.
"So im planning the baby shower..will I'm basically done. I just need to run things with you".
"If you like it then go ahead, it's not my party gab".
"Okay well it's paid for already so it's good". I looked at her crazy and she shrugged.
"What?".
"What do you mean it's paid for? You was just asking me for money Tuesday".
"Oh my mom wanted to pay". She said looking at the tv.
"Yeah okay". Gabby wanted me to give her a kiss and I shook my head.
"Why? You acting weird". I sighed getting up and kissed her cheek.
"You happy?".
"Mhm". My phone buzzed and I looked at the text de'arra sent.
I'm working right now but later tonight I'm off, why?
Texting her back, gabby was calling my name.
"What up?". I said not paying attention.
"Pay attention to me! I hate when you do that".
"Stop right there, your trying to argue and I mm not with that shit Gabrielle".
"I'm trying to talk to you Kenneth, since we saying government names". I chuckled and got up.
"You tripping, real talk".
Going to the room, I looked at my phone seeing my mom text me.
Gabby called my about a baby shower, that's not my grand kid so that means I don't have to go right?
