Chapter 14

No cake for you

“You all have outdone yourselves this evening and I would be lying if I said that I didn’t appreciate all of it. Thank You so much,” Key grinned as he slid through the door shutting it behind him.

“Awe it was nothin’ Pop.” Carter moved closer to me as I removed the large round strawberry filling buttercream vanilla cake from the fridge, placing his mouth near my ear. “Let’s hurry up and do the cake. I’m gonna go meet the fellas for a few hours. You send the old man home and when I get home I’m gonna tear that cake up. And, I’m not talking about the one on the plate neither.”

“Carter—“

“Shh. Keep your voice down.”

“Carter,” I began to whisper. “I think the guys will understand if you don’t kick it tonight. I’m saying, it is your dad’s birthday and he’s been looking forward to this. Shit, it’s the only time you haven’t disappointed him.”

“Okay but I came through this time and it’s late. If it weren’t for you forgetting the cake at home, he’d be on his way home by now.”

“No if it weren’t for your raggedy ass baby momma—“

“Not right now, Liv. Not right now.” Carter turned heading back into the living room. “So who wants cake?”

Nina bounced up and down on my sofa with her dirty little Nike’s screaming for the cake and Carter didn’t say a damn thing. Nonetheless, I choked up my feelings and issues once more to make this evening a great one for Key. He was a great man who deserved a great day and I was determined to make that happen for him with or without his son’s help.

I brought the cake out of the kitchen all lit up with big white numbers, a four and a six. Key had made it forty-six years, healthy and clean so it was only right that he celebrated and rejoiced in that. As I made it closer to the dining room table, Nina and Carter began singing as Carter recorded the whole show on his Samsung. I swear I was tired of covering for that man and pretending like nothing was wrong with us. That video would only depict a loving family who was happy and loved each other when in actuality that couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Once the song was over, Key blew out the candles and inserted the knife for the first slice to be cut as I prepared to distribute the cake. Carter immediately went to the back room before emerging back with a different shirt and smelling like Cool Water cologne. No one had even taken his or her second bite of cake before he decided to send us into shock mode. Key’s mouth was literally hanging open. Unfortunately I was neither impressed by his sexy attire nor shocked by his sudden need to get away from the house.

“Where you on your way to son?” Key asked taking a small bite of his cake.

“Oh, um, I’ve gotta make a quick run real quick.
