“Cheating on you? With who?”
“That little skank he’s been,” she makes air quotes as she says, “protecting.”
“You know he loves you and he’s only doing what the club asks of him.”
The coffee machine clicks on, and Sabrina catches one whiff before she’s dry heaving over the garbage can.
“You okay?” I place a hand on her back, giving her a gentle pat.
“I don’t know.” She stands up, covering her mouth and nose. “I can’t handle that smell right now.”
“Could you be pregnant?” it would explain her mood swings.
She shakes her head. “I don’t think so.”
“When was your last period?”
“When was yours?” She gags and I guide her to the living room away from the smell, though it’s not much better in here.
We drop to the couch, and I turn toward her, folding my legs back under me. “About two weeks ago. Was lighter than usual.” Sabrina and I have been synced to the same period cycle since we were twelve.
“Huh.” She wears a blank expression, staring numbly at me.
“Brina, you could be pregnant.”
“Oh my God. Oh my God,” she repeats louder.
“Is this a good OMG or a bad one?”
“I don’t know.” Her fingers touch her lips, then drop to her belly. “Shit.”
“You need to talk to Jimmy and take a test.” I squeeze her hand.
“Right. So he can just get mad at me and say I’m wanting to trap him. No way.” She sniffs and looks away.
“That doesn’t sound like Jimmy.”
“Yeah well, Jimmy does and says a lot of things lately that don’t sound like the old him. Now it’s the club this. The club that. They come first.”
I get what she’s saying. There’s been moments where I’ve felt the same way. “Jimmy adores you. He practically worships you.”
“Not anymore. He’s different.”
“Talk to him.”
“I will but promise you won’t say anything. Not even to Smoke, and especially not that Pam chick. She has a big mouth.”
Biting back my laughter, I don’t think it would be wise of me to remind her that she, too has a big mouth.
“Are you guys coming to the park today?”
“I don’t think Jimmy wants me there.”
“You guys need to have some fun. You’ve been working a lot, and he’s been tied up in the club.” Sabrina took the job that Zoe offered to me at the daycare when I decided to go work at the tattoo shop for Roane because though Smoke is letting them stay with us, they still have to cover their portion of the rent.
“Maybe.” Her lips spread into a weak smile.
“I’ve gotta get dressed, but we’ll talk more later. Promise.”
