breath and wiped her face. Ayana didn’t want August to see her upset and start asking questions. The whole ordeal was embarrassing enough. She was sure he would find out soon enough from Atticus.
“Please, can we just go to your house? I’m tired of talking about this and I’m sleepy. I can’t get enough sleep now.”
“Sure, Cousin, I’m so sorry about this mess. But as far as sleeping goes, it doesn’t get any better when you get further into your pregnancy. In fact, it gets worse and you feel fat.”
“Yeah, I kind of figured that. Thanks for being here for me, Tess. I love you, girl.”
Tess chuckled, “Yeah, I love you, too. Plus, remember my big fight with August, and I called you to pick me up in the middle of the night? You came too, so I’m paying you back. I owe you too. So close your eyes the rest of the way home and let it go for now.”
“Yes…OK, I can do this.”
Ayana’s head fell back on her headrest. She felt herself dozing off. All the fighting and arguing drained her strength. Occasionally her mind kept replaying the whole event over and over again, causing her to wake out from her sleep. So she wouldn’t worry Tess, she just lay there with slanted eyes, appearing to be asleep in the shadows of the night lights from the lamp posts they drove past.

A week had passed, and Ayana heard nothing from Atticus. She was still staying with Tess, due to a cancelation of her mother’s flight. As long as her mother was still in Mexico, Ayana was not going home. Her anger towards her mother was still at a ten, based on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the worst.
Her mother tried many times to reach out to her, as well as her father. Ayana knew her father would try to defend her mother, but at the same time be rational and neutral after she gave him the real story. She knew for so many years Emory gave and allowed Althea whatever she wanted, that now she was out of control and doing whatever she wanted.
Ayana took some time off of work for mental anguish. She didn’t see Tess much because she was in and out of the house working part-time. She was about to go take a swim in Tess and Augusts’ heated pool, her cell phone rang. Without bothering to answer, or checking the Caller ID, Ayana went to retrieve a towel. As soon as she was about to call Tess to ask about a spare bathing suit, she noticed that Atticus had called. She hit redial, butterflies filling her stomach.
The other line rang for a couple of minutes until a deep voice answered on the other line.
“Hello, hello? Ayana? Is that you?” the voice called out.
“Atticus. Yes, it’s me. Did you just call?”
Oh my god, what is he going to say? Please, no more hurtful things. Just let me be.
“Yes, I did. I want you to meet me for dinner alone, just you and me. I had some time to calm down and I think we should talk this mess out rationally.”
“Alright. Where do you want to meet?”
“Let’s see if we can get our relationship back on track, or at least talk about it. Meet me at Nick San Duraznos. Do you know the address?”
“No, but I’ll GPS the directions in my car.”
“ Si , meet me there in an hour.”
“OK, I’ll see you soon.”
Man, I can’t believe he wants to see me. Slow down, girl, let’s not get too excited. We don’t know the outcome so let’s not sound the alarm until we know for sure his intent.
After Ayana changed her clothes, she left Tess a note and left for the restaurant. She arrived and became aware from the lobby area that Atticus was already seated.
Hm, he must really want to talk and work this mess out…I hope it’s not because Tess talked to August and August talked to Atticus. But why else would he be so eager? Is it out of obligation, and not because he really loves me, but because I’m having his baby?
She continued to stand in the lobby in the dim lights and shadows as if she was waiting for someone so the hostess wouldn’t ask if she wanted to be seated. The dark
