Keira

"Heyyyyyy yalll!!!"

Looking back, Ky-Anne walked into the kitchen. We were finishing up the last of the food and waiting on Kevin and Nita to show up so we could get things started.

"Hey girl" I said as me and Ky hugged.

"So yea as we were saying" Tima smiled.

"Urghhh can y'all just leave me alone" I laughed.

"What's going on?" Ky asked as she ate a grape.

"We're tryna figure out what it is Keira has been doing to keep Aug so tamed." Chandra snickered.

"I'm not doing anything, its just him" I shook my head.

"Nope...that's not him, he's more open and shit now, like he ain't staying to himself an all'lat" Tima smiled as they all nodded.

"Is there any chicken?" Ky asked.

"Nah...we got a no chicken rule" Chandra said.

"Since when"

"Since Kei is allergic to it"

"You are...oh dang, ok cool"

"Yea, I'm sorry. I told him it was cool, but he insisted"

"Don't even stress girl, your health is more important."

"Keira?"

"Yea!" I answered Chandra.

"Ummm what are all these little rhinestones on this counter?"

Soon as I heard the question, I turned around. Same time August was walking in and apparently he heard the question as well because he turned right back around and left.

"Girl that's probably from a project I was doing" I lied.

"Oh ok"

"Ok I need y'all opinion!" Ky started.

"Wassup?" I asked finishing the pasta sauce.

We all gave her our undivided attention as she began.

"So...I wanna spice things up a bit with me and Knuck but y'all know how these niggas be"

"They automatically think ya sleeping around when ya do something new" Tima shook her head. "Dumbass Travis thought that when I did the same"

"Well I ain't got no man so I can't be of any assistance" Chandra laughed

"Girl shut up, you can still say." We all laughed when Ky said that.

We paused the conversation when August walked in, with Kevin and Nita behind.

"I need to see ya upstairs NOW!" August said in my ear as he stood behind me and squeezed my ass making me flinch".

"Damn Keira, wassup with you!" Kevin asked.

"Nothing" I said to him as August stepped back. "Gimme ten minutes"

"Aight, ten" he said before walking to the fridge.

"Yung, tha fuck ya got in here so cold for?" Kevin asked.

"Nigga tryna save on heat and shit man." He laughed but I knew he was lying.

"Dang got Kei in turtle neck and shit!" He laughed as August and I slightly looked at each other.

Walking over to the cupboard, I stretched and got out the plastic plates for tonight.
