"Oh, man. Ain't I supposed to be the comedian of this relationship?" He laughed some more. "You coming for my job now, or sum'n? 'Cause imma need severance pay." The kitchen got quiet. She didn't laugh with him. "You should probably just do it, Meech." "What?" His smile faltered, searching her face like he missed the punchline of the joke. "Hol' up. You bein' forreal right now?" "I mean..." She shrugged weakly. "Maybe once we have proof-" "Proof?" He jerked his head back. "Proof of what, Trin? Of some shit I already know? You gon' trust some random ass stranger's word over mine?" "They're clearly not some random ass stranger to you." • • • • • • 𝚃𝚠𝚘'𝚜 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚢...

"And every time you avoid it? It feels like the end of us." He fired back. Silence slammed between them. "Well." She broke it first, her voice quieter but crueler. "Maybe you just picked the wrong woman." He rubbed his jaw in thought, "Shit, maybe I did." • • • • • • 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚜 𝚊 𝚋𝚊𝚍 𝚖𝚒𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚕𝚎? 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚐𝚘𝚝 𝚊 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝? 🥀👻 𝙱𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝟺 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚅𝚊𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜 (𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚗-𝚘𝚏𝚏)

"Damn. Hasn't even been that long and you got a whole rock on your finger now, huh?" "...What are you doing here?" She unthinkingly rubbed her swollen belly, the tight knots forming in her stomach at the same time. "What you mean? I came for the art." His tone was sarcastic as he gestured at the paintings on the walls. She watched his eyes drift down her body, before he tightly clenched his jaw.

"So you just wanna fuck me forever, and that's it, huh?" "I ain't say-" He sucked his teeth. "We already talked about this shit, Z." "Nah." She chuckled dryly. "You just keep shutting me out."
