Chapter 265
After a few minutes, Tera stepped out onto her porch, clad in a silk robe. “Christian, come in, for a second.” She waved me over.
I sighed, not really in the mood to socialize, before reluctantly hopping out of my car. “What’s up?” I questioned, as I trekked up the driveway.
“Come in,” she insisted.
“Say, look—” I started, before catching myself. I had so much other shit on my plate that I was about to revert back to the way I used to deal with her. And that wasn’t cool, so I checked myself. “What’s up, Tera?” I quizzed, as I followed her into the house.
“I just wanted to catch up,” she claimed, while I glanced around, confused.
“Mannn,” I drawled. “I know fucking well that you haven’t been getting my kids to stay here, and this muthafucka aint even furnished yet.”
“I haven’t been here that long, Christian.”
“Long enough to at least have somewhere to sit in the living room,” I argued.
She shrugged. “When I got it, then I’ll get it.”
“Nah, you should’ve told me. I would’ve let you use one of my cards to order whatever you needed.”
“That’s good to know, Christian…but excuse me if I’m not moving like I know that you’ll step in and save the day. I honestly don’t even know if I should settle into his house.”
I furrowed my brows. “And why is that?”
“Cause. You was feeling guilty and helped me pay to move in here. But I don’t work, and the moment I piss you o", then I could find myself not being able to pay the rent. So, I’m just feeling my way through this.”
I tilted my head. “When have I ever not provided, Tera?”
“Oh, nigga, there’s been some times.” She nodded. “Especially whenever I piss you o". You’re quick to hold back those residuals.”
