“Um, I’m not.” She broke the news to them. “I’m sorry. I already got another job.”

“And a baby!” Emrys squealed, acknowledging the bump she carried around with her now. “Is it a girl?”

“I don’t know yet. My ultrasound is next week,” she answered.

“This baby will be so lucky to have you as a mama,” Michael voiced, warming her heart as Evren studied her with suspicion.

Eazy didn’t like how his bitch ass was eyeing his woman. Clearing his plate of hibachi, he reached for his drink to wash it down. He didn’t want to show his ass in front of his kids, so Eazy held his reserve.

“Aw, thank you. That means so much coming from you.”

“We didn’t know you were seeing anyone when you left,” Evren voiced.

Michelle cut a hardened glare in his direction.

“Yo, who the fuck are you?” Eazy finally chimed in.

“Ezekiel,” Lotus warned with a quick glance at him before turning back to the Wakefields. “It’s none of your business, first of all. Baby, this is Evren Wakefield, his wife, Michelle, and their two children, Emrys and Michael,” Lotus introduced.

“Hi!” Both kids waved at him like it was the most natural thing in the world.

“Come on, kids, we should go if we’re going to get in that Mama Lila’s line,” Michelle encouraged them.

“Yeah, you don’t want to miss that. Her fried chicken smells so good over there. I might head over and get me a couple of pieces soon. It’s so good seeing you both.”

“You too!” Emrys embraced her one last time.

“Bye.” Michael waved, and Michelle strolled off with both kids while Evren lingered behind.

It was obvious he had some shit on his mind, but it was pissing Eazy off the longer he stood there.

“Yo’ family went that way.” Eazy pointed past him.

Finally, Evren moved the fuck around, and Lotus returned to her food. She stuffed her face and kept her head down, hoping Eazy would let it go.

“The fuck was that, Lo?”

“What you mean?”

“Why that nigga looking at you like that?” Eazy demanded.

Lotus took a bite of an eggroll and chewed slowly.

“Like what?”

“That’s the muhfucka you was fucking, right?”

Lotus swallowed. “Yes.”

“So why you get all tense, and why he sitting there hawking you like some damn stalker?”

“Ezekiel, don’t do this right now.”

“The fuck am I doing, Lo? Asking you a question that you can’t seem to answer.” Leaning forward, he grit his teeth and his dark eyes pierced her.

“What do you want me to say? Shit got weird after I broke it off with him.” She dropped her fork into her container.

“Weird how?” Eazy pried.
