Chapter 256
something too,” I lied, knowing that Swamp City was literally two minutes away, and I could easily swing over there, before heading home.
“Oh.” He calmed down. “I thought that maybe you still had it on your mind. Hopping up and leaving like that. Next time, text a nigga or something.”
“I got you,” I claimed. “What you want me to order?”
“That swamp pack is cool. And a bag of seafood. Spicy.
Unpeeled.”
“Okay, I got you.”
“Alright,” he breathed into the phone. “Love you.” “Love you too,” I sighed, as the call ended.
Shaking my head, I couldn’t believe that I was standing outside of my own door, hesitating on going inside.
Soya’s voice was echoing in my head, and I couldn’t shake it.
She’d basically implied that somebody I knew was fucking Too Low.
Then considering that my cousin knew me pretty well, I was sure that it wasn’t just some random person I’d see in passing.
No, this had to be somebody that I had in my personal space. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have mattered.
I had nothing against Too Low moving on.
I was glad that he hadn’t tried to interfere in my life like he’d threatened to do while in prison.
So, I wasn’t trying to cock block, but got damn, man.
Bringing women into something still attached to my name was wild.
And it was on me to cut those ties, because he couldn’t do it, if I didn’t still allow him to have access to my shit.
That’s why I used my key to unlock the door, and let myself into the apartment.
Quietly, I tipped upstairs, not knowing what to expect.
Once I stepped into the apartment, my eyes immediately traveled to the pictures of me and Too Low that were now leaning against the couch, versus hanging on the wall like they originally were.
