Yonni nudged me in the side. “Kenneth’s brother?” she whispered to me. “Damn, he’s fione!” Yonni mumbled while squeezing my arm tightly. That was really what she thought to say at that moment.

“Seriously, Yonni?” I shrugged her hand off my arm and turned my attention back to Keenan. I was at a loss for words. I didn’t know what to say. Last I heard he had gotten locked up right after Kenneth went to jail.

Keenan pulled me into another hug; that one was tighter than before. “Yo’ ass don’t know how happy I am to see you. I done looked everywhere for yo’ ass.” He sounded excited. “Damn, it’s been so fuckin’ long—how are the kids, where are the kids? You still got them, right?” He shot off questions back to back.

“Her kids good, they’re with my auntie,” Jerome chimed in, seeming irritated. “If you were so worried. Where the fuck was you at—”

I was confused by his hostility toward Keenan. “Jerome, don’t.” My brows furrowed questioningly.

“I was locked up, and when I got out, she was gone. I didn’t know where the fuck you went. I went by yo’ folks place, hoping you was there, but they hadn’t seen you. Those mothafuckas even threatened to call the laws on my ass if I came back to their crib. Kenneth has been losing his fuckin’ mind, not knowing if y’all were alive or dead,” he stressed.

What my parents did to him didn’t surprise me in the least. That was just them. They were too worried about their image. I wasn’t going to touch on that subject, however. Everything else he said, I didn’t know what to think or how to respond. Then again, I didn’t think having a conversation with him in front of everybody was the right thing to do.

“Well, we’re not dead. It’s been tough, but let him know we’re alright. All the extras don’t matter. We’re good.” A huge part of me was excited to see him for the simple fact that Kaeden and Kierra would finally have family they could meet and get to know. For the longest, I was the only blood family they’ve had. So, I wanted them to know Kenneth along with his family.

“I wanna see them. You got any pictures?” he eagerly questioned.

Chuckling lightly, I nodded. “Yeah, it’s in my phone.” I walked off to the couch where my phone sat and grabbed it.

Jerome still stood at the bar watching Keenan. I pushed his behavior to the back of my mind as I unlocked my phone and pulled up pictures of the kids. I gave him the phone.

Keenan was all smiles as he stared at the kids. “Kaeden and Kierra. He was crazy about Kierra, that was his baby girl. He didn’t get the chance to know Kaeden, and that fucks with him constantly.”

I shrugged at that statement because that was his fault. He knew what the life he lived would lead to. So, did I, but we were young, dumb, and in love.
