CHAPTER

TEN

DEVYN

"Girl, I can't believe you let that nigga trick you off the streets. We were supposed to have a hot girl summer, and you fucked around and let that nigga knock you up."

I couldn't help but laugh and chuckle at the disdain that flowed through Lori's voice as she expressed her concerns to Kira. We were just informed that one of the gifts she gave Jake a few days ago for Christmas was a six-week ultrasound photo and a pregnancy test.

"How are you shocked?" I asked as I pulled my red velvet cupcakes out of the oven. "Those two are attached to each other at the hip, so it's bound to happen."

"Okay, ladies, get off me." Kira frowned as she looked back and forth between the two of us. "Leave my man and me alone. The way you and Khalil are acting, you two aren't too far behind."

Now it was my turn to frown. Granted, we have been spending more time together since he popped up on me Christmas night, but things remained the same on my end. Well, at least that's what I kept telling myself.

I'm somewhat in a state of delusion when it comes to Khalil. I like him more than I let on, but there really isn't anything that can be done about it. He has his harem, baby mama, and brother he needs to deal with. I don't want any part of that.

"Get that look off your face, Dee," Lori snapped me out of my thoughts.

I glanced over my shoulders, and she was headed to the nearby sink to wash her hands. I don't know if it was to help me set up for the day or to sample all my treats.

"You know what she is saying is true. I'm happy for you because it's about time you let someone love you. I just never thought it would be that nigga."

"First of all, it's not like that with us." I wiped my hands on my apron, and they looked at me as if I were the biggest liar they'd ever seen. "We're just having fun. Khalil has too much on his plate as is, and you both know I'm not one for the games."

"Girl, please." Kira waved me off. She, too, was supposed to come by the bakery to help me today, but she has been in the same spot with a napkin or bowl in front of her since she arrived. "Loon's crazy ass is smitten, and that's not good for any of us. Trust me, sis, he's on you bad. I don't know what you've done to him, but when he locks you down, the Three Stooges are going to lose their shit."

"And that," I pointed my mixing spoon at her, "is why I don't want that nigga. Now get y'all asses out of the way so I can work."

For the next hour, we talked shit about our plans for the new year as I set the bakery up for the day. Jake and Kira made plans to bring the year in together, as did Bino and Lori.
