He pulled up outside Mika's apartment complex with his jaw clenched and his soul on fire.
He ain't knock this time.
He kicked the bottom of her door twice with the heel of his boot and banged on the top panel hard enough to make it shake.
"Mika, open this bitch fore I kick this bitch down!"
She cracked the door open, robe tied tight like she already knew what was up.
Her hair was slicked into a bun, no lashes on, no makeup.
Just her.

"It just... happened."

A cold, dry laugh.
No humor behind it.
"So that's what y'all call that now? It just happened? Bitch, you been tryna have my kid and my brother at the same time like this shit a game of musical chairs."
