After Eight years, Ghenesis Santiago leaves for Atlanta, Ga to try having a relationship with her father and his new family. While having to maintain her senior year in highschool and working with her brother and his Crew under her father's orders...
I leaned back, my voice calm but deadly. “So what? What about it?”
Kendra blinked like I slapped her. “That’s nasty… like, white people shit.”
I stood up slow, eyes locked on hers. “You wanna talk white people shit? You mean like stealin’ someone’s sperm and takin’ it to a fertility clinic without they consent?”
She froze.
“Yeah,” I nodded, rubbin’ my belly again. “Sound familiar, hoe?”
Gasps. One girl dropped her pen. Gigi’s mouth fell open like he just witnessed a gospel miracle. Kendra just stood there, her face drainin’ color like a busted faucet.
“You really thought you could play God, huh?” I stepped closer. “You tried to get knocked up off a man who ain’t looked at you in three years. And still couldn’t do it. Meanwhile, I’m the one carryin’ his child. That’s checkmate, bitch.”
She stormed off, tears fallin’, and I ain’t blink once watchin’ her go.
When I sat back down, the table was quiet as hell.
Then Erin broke it with a whisper. “Okay... before I chase her down and yank her lacefront from the back, I just need confirmation. Did that bitch say… Zeus? As in your brother Zeus?”
Taylor added, “And did I hear that right—positive test, baby in progress?”
I sighed, settin’ my pen down. “Y’all… it’s complicated.”
Gigi threw his head back laughin’. “Nah, sis. Ain’t nothin’ complicated ‘bout it. I BEEN knew somethin’ was goin’ on between y’all. The way he be lookin’ at you? That ain’t brotherly love, baby, that’s ‘I’ll burn the world down for her’ love. That’s Zane book, chapter five, dirty bathtub scene love.”
I busted out laughin’, tears threatenin’ for a whole different reason. Erin reached across the table and grabbed my hand.
“Long as you happy, we got your back.”
Taylor nodded. “Facts. Ain’t nobody in this school walkin’ in your shoes. And if Zeus the one givin’ you peace, then fuck what anybody gotta say.”
Gigi popped a Cheeto and added, “I just need a heads-up if y’all ever write a book, ‘cause I’m tryna be a character in that spicy ass plot.”
I wiped a tear off my cheek, heart heavy but full. “Y’all stupid as hell.”
“But we love you,” Erin said.
And I believed her.
