Her hands shook violently as she dialed the 7 digits to call her big brother. Her heart was beating so loud, and fast in her mind. She was shaking nervously as she put the phone to her ear. She did a silent prayer hoping he would pick up. She was lu...

"-they are still investigating the explosion that happened Friday night. They don't know what caused it yet but are soon hoping to find out." the news lady said pointing to the scene of the accident.
"That's sad." I said looking at Kali. She nodded with a bowl of pineapples on her belly bump. I knew she was pregnant before she even knew.
"It really is. I know whoever was inside that lil ole car dead as hell. Burnt." Kali laughed a little.
"What y'all talking bout?" Kieth asked coming in the living room sitting beside Kali.
"The explosion that happened Friday night." I said.
"Mm. Tragic." he said stealing a pineapple from Kali.
"Man if you don't move yo uglass away from me, Kieth." Kali said watching him eat her pineapple.
"Bae come on I ain't eat nun." Kieth said trying to steal another one.
"Move before I break yo damn hand." she said moving the bowl away from him.
"Man you so stingy." he laughed sitting back.
"How am I stingy? You just stole my food." she busted out crying.
Kieth looked at her wide eyed. "Kali why you crying? It's just a pineapple."
"It's not just a pineapple." she cried. "It's my pineapple."
"Here imma go fix you some more." Kieth said getting up reaching for the bowl.
"No move out my way. I gotta do everything my damn self around here." she snapped getting up walking away.
"What the hell?" Kieth said following her. "Bae."
I laughed looking back at the tv. I didn't have anything to do today. Kieth called the people to fix my windows but I think I want to move because too many people know where I live.

"Guess what?" Kieth said coming back in the living room.
I looked at him. "What?"
"Kali pregnant...again." he laughed.
"You didn't know?" I asked confused.
"No she just told me when she was throwing shit at me." he laughed again staring at the floor. "Man I'm getting old. This my forth damn child." he smiled.
"But how could you not known? She was acting all hormonal and eating everything." I said.
"Man she always eating. She just ain't threw up or nothing." he said shrugging.
"I have a question." I said.
He looked at me before going to sit on the couch. "Why you saying it like that nie?"
