I need to wait for the right uard down I’ my every move as his eyes flicker to me subtly every few seconds I pretend not to notice and dip e in the maple syrup
After a few quiet minutes pass, I ask, “How’s your sister?”
He takes a drink of his coffee before he answers ood Misses you She has a little boy now He’s three Mean little shit” He laughs as though he is thinking of so rotten the kid did
“I uh…I hope she’s happy”
I miss Keisha too We were close She was one of my only friends but when I decided to cut Wrecker out of o of our friendship as well I knee stayed friends it would be all too easy to be around her brother and be tempted to let him back in and I couldn’t chance that We were inseparable, attached at the hip when I wasn’t with her brother, but even before that she was reen eyes that closely resembled her brother’s There was no way I could see her and not think of hi I wanted to do As much as it hurt to do so I had to cut her out I needed a fresh start, and I couldn’t do it with the constant reminders of what he did
“She is most the time They call her Lil Mama at the clubhouse”
“She’s a clubgirl?” I ask, shocked I thought Wrecker would kill any ine her being one of those girls I can’t believe Wrecker let that happen
“Not exactly,” he h there is more he wants to say
I nod wanting to ask oes on with the club, because I gave up caring a long tio what any of them do with their lives But still, I wonder what happened to Keisha I wonder who the father of her son is? And then Wrecker answers my unasked question and I wished he hadn’t
“He’s your little brother”
“What!” I spit out, nearly choking on my toast
“Yeah, Keisha ca for s, but I can tell it bothers him If it were any other man I am certain he would have put a bullet in their head Wrecker cherished Keisha Even though he’s only around six years older than her he raised her Their mother wasn’t around much and their dad left when she was a baby
For once, I’ her out of my life? She has always knoup sluts around town How could she do this? Fuck her She can get in line with the rest of his whores
Wrecker finishes off his coffee and pats his stomach
I should push thoughts of my father and Keisha aside I need to make my move
