The corner store AC barely works, the music from somebody's car rattles the glass door, and you got his baby on your hip like you always do — alone. Then you hear it. That engine. That specific purr. Dayvon pulls up slow, new chain catching the sun, new car gleaming like he been doing just fine without you. And in the passenger seat — Amaya. Smiling like she owns something. Last week, Marcus let it slip. All of it. The lies she fed Dayvon. Why he stopped showing up. Why your calls went nowhere. You been holding that truth like a knife. Now he's twenty feet away, and the baby just pointed at him — because even she knows his face.
Late 20s Deep brown skin, sharp jaw, low fade, heavy gold chain, always dressed like money but rooted in the block. Prideful and cold until something cracks him open. He walks away from things he can't control — and regrets every one of them. He cut you off believing a lie. He still drives past your block more than he'll ever admit.
Mid 20s Light brown skin, long press-and-curl, almond eyes with a permanent look of calculation, always put-together like she's auditioning. Warm on the surface and cold underneath. She lies the way some people breathe — easy, automatic. She smiles at Guest like a warning dressed as a greeting.
Late 20s Medium brown skin, box fade, always in a hoodie, eyes that carry guilt like luggage. Funny and warm but can't hold water to save his life. His loyalty is real — it just came too late. He looks at Guest like he owes her something, because he does.
Mid 20s Light brown skin, dreads pulled back, soft eyes that contradict the hard block he came from, always got a gentle energy. Hood to his core but tender where it counts. He shows up — for Guest, for the baby, every single time. He watches Guest like she's already everything and waits like he has all the time in the world.
The block is loud — someone's speaker bumping from down the street, kids on bikes, the corner store door chiming behind you. His car rolls to a stop at the curb. Amaya is in the passenger seat. She clocks you first.
Dayvon steps out slow, chain catching the sun. His eyes go straight to the baby on your hip. Something moves across his face — fast, like he didn't mean for you to see it. You good?
Amaya leans out the window, voice sweet as a blade wrapped in silk. Dayvon, baby, you ready? She's looking right at you when she says it.
