“Hey, Dejonae.”
I stop short.
Sunny’s eyes sparkle at me beneath her thick lashes. She spots my glass. “Ooh, wine.”
My jaw drops when she takes the glass from me and sidles her way into my tiny, one-bedroom apartment.
“You got a head start,” Kenya says, waving a bottle around. She walks in like I invited her.
“Cute place.” Dawn moves past me, her eyes whipping around.
Vanya is the last to enter.
I meet her eyes and hiss, “What’s going on? Why is everyone here?”
“We couldn’t think of a better place to go for Girl’s Night.”
“Girl’s Night?” I frown.
“You’re familiar with the concept, right?” Vanya tilts her head.
“Of course I know what Girl’s Night is. But… why is it here? And didn’t your kid’s talent show end just a few hours ago?”
“Two hours to be exact. The kids got ice cream and a sugar rush.” Sunny folds herself into my sofa. “So naturally, we shoved them on their dads and ran away.”
“And the ‘Mom of The Year’ award goes to…”
Kenya guffaws.
Sunny cackles even louder.
Ugh.
I want to wallow in self-pity, but I genuinely like them.
“We’re here to raid your house for snacks,” Dawn says.
“I don’t buy it.” I stalk to the middle of my living room. “This feels like an intervention.”
“And your feelings are totally valid,” Kenya quips with an innocent tone.
I scowl at her.
She smiles. “Seriously, do you have snacks? I didn’t eat much of the ice cream.”
“In the kitchen.” I gesture that way.
“I brought wine.” Vanya offers the bottle to me. “I thought of making you chai, but I’m not that delusional. You are the undisputed chai queen. I’m not worthy enough to touch your blender.”
“I found Oreos!” Dawn cries gleefully.
The other women pump their fists.
Slowly, my living room is overtaken by four gorgeous mothers who all seem to have no objections to home invasion.
“Vanya, put that chair down thisinstant,” Dawn yells, pointing a finger as the model carries furniture from the kitchen to the living room.
“You guys realize I gave birth months ago, right?”
