Chapter Sixteen - Apologies
Kristie's POV
It's been four months since the incident. Ryan is still in jail. Mallory got out on bond and moved to North Carolina. I'm 6 and a half months pregnant, and wobbling. My knee is getting better. I only have one more week of therapy left. Thank God. Two months ago, I found out I'll be having a boy and a girl. Win win for Jeremiah and I.
"Kay , I'm going to the store. You need anything?" Kathy asked.
"Spicy chicken." I said and put another Oreo in my mouth.
"You know Jeremiah doesn't allow you to eat spicy foods."
I rolled my eyes. "Regular fried chicken, a cream cheese pie, chocolate chip cookies, a pickle, and peanut butter."
"You better stop eating all that. No peanut butter and no pie." Kathy said and walked out the door.
I got up, got my crutches, and crutched into the game room. I sat down between Shayla and Jarell.
"You know Jeremiah gone flip out when he see you out of bed.! Jarell said.
"Blah! Blah! Where's Mia?" I asked.
"She's at work. She work at Red Lobster."
The door bell rung.
"I got it!" we heard Tina yell.
"Can I play?" I asked Jarell.
"You know how to play?"
Kathy walked into the room. "Kristie, someone is here for you."
I sighed. "Shayla, help me up."
Shayla got up, grabbed my hands, and pulled me from the couch. I followed Kathy back into the living room. Lillie was standing by the door. She looked as if she'd seen a ghost when she seen me.
"Lillie? What are you doing here?"
"Look Kristie, I'm not here to start any mess. I just came to apologize." Lillie said. "I'm sorry for starting a bunch of shit. Thank you for beating my ass, I needed that."
We laughed.
"And I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. I'm so sorry."
Lord, give me strength. I said to myself.
"I accept your apology Lillie." I smiled.
"How far are you?"
"Six months. Twins, a boy and a girl."
"Awe. Congratulations. They're going to be dolls " Lillie said.
"Thank you."
"Well, I better get going. I have a date."
"Have fun girl."
"I'll try." Lillie winked.
As Lillie was walking out, Jeremiah was walking in.
"Why in the hell was she here?" Jeremiah asked.
I closed the door. "She came to apologize. That's it."
"Umhm, what you doing out of bed?" he grabbed me by the butt."
"I got bored."
Tina walked into the living room. "Have y'all thought about baby names?"
"No ma'am. We haven't got to it yet." I told her.
Kathy walked through the door. "Here you go fatty." she handed me two bags.
"Thanks ma."
"It bet not be nothin' you can't eat." Jeremiah looked at me.
I rolled my eyes.
"Come on y'all. I got names I want y'all to look at." Tina said.
We followed Tina into the den.
Thank God that hat flew off of my head. There's no place I'd rather be, than right here with Jeremiah.
