Chapter 14

“PORSCHE?” IVELISSE SAID.

Porsche jerked her head up to see who’d called her name, then quickly wiped her eyes. “Hello. How are you guys doing?”

Just like that, she answered. As if it was business as usual to sit in the park and bawl your eyes out.

Kiara moved closer to her and placed her arm around her shoulder. “Are you okay?”

Dang, this girl was clearly trying to imitate Mom. Well, I wasn’t buying it. “Yeah, why are you over here by yourself having a snotfest?” I asked.

I immediately felt the daggers flying from Kiara’s direction. Ivelisse knew how I was, but I do believe I’d shocked her as well. Clearing her throat, Porsche used her sleeve to wipe her eyes and nose. I was becoming impatient with the dramatics. Just spit it out, girl.

“I guess I’ve just had a bad day, that’s all,” Porsche replied.

“Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that,” Kiara said. “When I have a bad day—”

I wasn’t about to allow Kiara to get full swing into one of her “all you need is a hug” songs.

“So, what happened?” I asked, trying not to sound too impatient, but the girl had started to seriously work my nerves.

“Porsche.”

It was Andre riding up on his bike. Porsche started smiling when she saw him and got out of the swing to meet him.

Kiara eased over to where I was standing. “Katrina, do you realize you’re standing here frowning? What is up with that?”

“I hope he’s not here to make up with her,” I whispered back.

Kiara’s faced scrunched up. “Girl, you’re tripping. What do you mean make up with her? Who said they were fighting?”

“What are you two whispering about?” Ivelisse said.

“Kat thinks they’re fighting.”

“Huh?” Ivelisse said. Then she turned her attention toward Porsche and Andre.

I moved a few steps closer so I could hear what Andre was saying to Porsche.

Andre walked up to Porsche and hugged her. “I’m sorry about what happened earlier with your mom. Come over and chill at my house for a while.”

Porsche’s smile widened. “Thanks, I’d like that.”

Porsche turned to wave goodbye to us and smiled.

“What was that all about?” Kiara said breaking the silence.

Ivelisse grabbed my arm and pulled me aside. Of course, Kiara came along.

“Okay, Katrina, what’s this about them fighting?” Ivelisse asked.

“Well, I just figured the only possible explanation for Porsche’s blubbering is because Andre dumped her.”

Kiara slapped her forehead. “Who said they were even dating? I know Dr. Jackson mentioned it at dinner, but he was just teasing Andre.”

Ivelisse grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me. “Chica, you’re starting to get crazy about those two.”

“Sheesh!” Kiara said. “I’ll catch up with you guys later. I’m going home. You’re just too much.”

Ivelisse gave me a sympathetic look, but I wasn’t feeling it. I rolled my eyes at her. She was supposed to me on my side. Then I felt bad. I mean, the girl had been crying her eyes out in public.

Maybe Porsche’s life wasn’t all what it seemed to be.
