“He got behind on his child support payments, so I loaned him some money to keep him from getting arrested. I’ve been giving the money you give me for bills and shopping to him and then using my credit card to pay everything else.” “Loaned?!” I closed my eyes, pinching the bridge of my nose as I tried to reign in my anger. The fight from earlier already had me on edge, but this shit was bound to push me over. “Birdie, how the fuck can you loan money to a nigga with no income? He ain’t got a job. His music is trash, so that ain’t making no money. Please tell me how the fuck he’s going to pay you - actually, me - back?” “He’s not a bum. I’m just trying to be a supportive girlfriend while he’s chasing his dream, Verse.” “On my dime!” I thundered before another thought crossed my mind. “That nigga living with you, Brianna?” At her silence, I exploded. “In the shit I’m paying for?! Not only are you paying this bum’s child support with my money, but you’re also funding his music endeavor and letting him layup with you rent free while I pay the bills. I already told you how I felt about that nigga when he came at me crazy last year and you go against my wishes anyway.”

“I intervened when I didn’t need to. That’s my bad. My goal wasn’t to undermine you or make you look incapable of doing your job. I know you can handle your own because I’ve seen it and I should’ve respected that. So, I apologize. I won’t overstep again.”

“People like us, people who’ve experienced the type of traumas we have? We’ve been conditioned to think that happiness afterwards isn’t possible. But we’re proof that it exists. That we’re worthy of it. And the funny thing is, we always were.”

“His affable grin reappeared as he adjusted on the bed. “I know I look good. I don’t need you to tell me.”

“And the woman I’m laying down with every night.” I kissed her again. “My responsibility is to take care of you. Of y’all.” Another kiss. “I intend to make this pregnancy as stress-free as possible for you.” I grinned when the tension in her frame eased as she pressed herself against me, moaning into the kiss. “So, if that means paying your bills, buying groceries or a gotdamn tea and croissant? That’s what I’m gonna do.”

“So… are we good?” He hiked a brow and I nodded. “No more freezing me out and shit, right? Because you left your boy in the cold this week, Hope. It’s tough out here.”

“Then fall the fuck back and let me live my life.” “The life I’m sponsoring?” I shot back. “If you want me to fall back, I’ll fall back. And so will my money that’s afforded you the life you’re living. I ain’t never tried to be your daddy. I’m just looking out for you just like I look out for G, Krys, and everybody else. You’re the only ungrateful muthafucka in the bunch.” I was on a roll now. I’d probably regret half of what I was spewing later, but for now, she needed to hear it. “You can’t even pay your fuckin’ rent! Yet, you want me to fall back and allow another nigga to come up off my dime? A nigga who’s disrespected me hella times? Nah, fuck that. The little credit card you let that bum max out? I’m paying it off then closing it. The money I drop in your account every month for shopping sprees, vacations, and other frivolous spending? That shit is dead. It’ll be just enough in there every month to pay your rent and cover your bills. Anything extra is gonna be on your dime.” I wiped my mouth in anger before adding, “Better yet, ask your boyfriend to pick up my slack. Let’s see how long that”

“want to be here for you like you’ve been for me. I want you to lean on me when you need. I feel like I’m always the one needing support. Needing you.” Her gaze fell from mine to the white covers surrounding us, pinching the thin sheet lightly while she mumbled the next sentence. “I want you to need me as much as I need you.”
