“A man is only as good as his words are.”

~ Frank Sinatra

Zane

The second I saw Inc close to Octavia and Neo, I threw on my coat and rushed out of the house. She might act like him being here won’t wreck her, but I know her better than she thinks. Octavia is a stern cold bitch when she wants to be. That’s women who own their businesses in general, but, she fuckin’ cares about people. She’s got the biggest damn heart I’ve ever seen and it’s why I love her so damn much. She’s not just the best wife, but the best mother and overall woman I’ve ever met.

I’m a few feet away from them when I hear the way Octavia’s tone drops, then comes back up. She sounds like a broken flute, meaning one thing for certain—she’s terrified. But before I can make myself known she says the one thing I wish she would’ve talked to me about first. Of course, we would’ve told Inc, but it’s something we should’ve discussed together first. I’m not mad at her, not in the least bit, but damn I wish we’d talked about this first.

“Everything alright over here?” I ask, just as Octavia’s paused for a few seconds. She turns her head back and looks at me with widened eyes. With one look I can visibly see how terrified she is. I don’t know Inc the way she does. I don’t know about what type of man he is, if he’d try and take him away from us, but her plea for him not to, only makes me worry more. He could try, and he could win, but it makes no difference worrying about that shit now.

Inc doesn’t make a sound, or even look at me as I asked my question. Instead, his eyes are still pinned on Neo and he’s completely transfixed on him. “I . . . I think so,” Octavia stammers out, biting her bottom lip. Shit, she’s even lying badly right now.

Inc shuts his eyes and upon opening them looks directly at me. “I need to process this shit. We good to talk later?”

I nod. “Yeah, we can.”

Inc doesn’t say another word but heads down the path, walking toward where Sunny and Ice are. It looks like they’re trying to get his bike off the back of the trailer, and Sunny’s pulling the tailgate of the truck down, yelling something back at Ice. I bet all Inc’s shit is in the bed of that truck, but they have one of them hard cap covers.

Octavia’s hands begin to shake and her skin doesn’t have her normal rosiness around her cheeks. She’s going ghost white and I feel the immediate need to take Neo from her hands. Sliding a hand under him, I pull him into my arms and hold him close, I wrap an arm around Octavia’s waist and walk the three of us slowly back to the house.

None of us make a sound on our way back to the house, not even Neo.
