out of trouble myself. Look at it this way, you can use this time to spend with your friends more. I know I’ve been keeping you away from them lately and now is a good time for ya’ll to hang out. Besides, in a couple of weeks I have something planned for us all that you are going to love.”
“Something planned like what?” Kale asked full of excitement.
“It’s a surprise. You gone have to wait for that reveal.”
Pit smiled.
He loved being able to do things for Kale and he knew that she was going to love what he had in store for her. He had already put his plan in motion and had a few things to finalize before he told Kale exactly what it was.
Kale returned from the restroom and climbed back into the bed.
“How you gone tell me some of it and not all? You know you’re wrong for that. That’s okay though, I’ll wait for it. I know it’s gonna be something awesome and memorable. With the Noc situation, don’t worry too much about that. How about you just sleep on it and then make a decision tomorrow without letting it worry you tonight.”
“Now that sounds like a good idea. Babe, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Pit and Noc had been friends for seventeen long years. Even though Noc was a few years younger than Pit, he started Pit doing a lot of the bad things that Pit worked so hard to give up, including selling drugs. Noc has also been in a whole lot more trouble than Pit and Pit wanted to make sure everything stayed that way. After talking with his mother, grandmother, and sister, he knew exactly what he needed to do. Of course his mother’s and sister’s responses were very similar to Kale’s. They trusted him to make the right decision. On the other hand, Grandma Harris doubtlessly objected. She made it simple and quick. As soon as Pit spoke Noc’s name she said no. Pit understood why. Pit’s grandmother, Ms. Harris, knew Pit better than anyone else and she always seemed to know what was best for him. He knew that. She did not want him spending any time with him. Pit wanted to handle whatever situation brought Noc to his presence and be done with it.
“How about a goodnight kiss?” Pit asked.
As a response, Kale went under the covers and gave her man the goodnight kiss that he was asking for. She did not like to see him worried or stressed and she knew exactly what to do to take his mind off of the situation for the night.
Chapter 8
Saturday morning October received a phone call from Sanayah. Sanayah let October know that she would be in Beaumont for a few hours and would be coming to pick up her and her son, Quentin, in about two hours to go and do some shopping with her. Since it was only a few minutes after nine and she did not have to be at work until four that evening, she gladly accepted the offer. Now it was not strange that Sanayah called at what was normally early for October or that she called wanted to go shopping with only October. Even though October and Sanayah do not spend as much time with each other as October and Kale, they share a closer bond because they have much more in common. They would often hang out together whenever Sanayah would come home from law school to visit. These are the times they let each other know what is going on in each other’s lives. It always tends to be early in the morning, because Sanayah was an early bird; so none of that was strange to October at all. What she did consider strange though, was Sanayah’s tone. For one thing, she was speaking rather low on the phone and her voice seemed to be somewhat cracked, as if she was crying or had been crying. Now she did not say too much, but the worry October heard in Sanayah’s voice let her know that they would be discussing something serious that had been bothering Sanayah.
Not wanting to think too much of it because she was still half asleep, October pulls herself up out of the bed and into the shower to help wake herself up.
