“That’s funny, because I went back in my texts, and I didn’t text you at all that night.”

“Then you must have called me.”

“I never call you. And you never call me.”

Bobby was quiet.

“I played with Polo and them a while back. You told me you played with them the night of the party, but he said he hadn't seen you."

Bobby swallowed hard.

"You gonna tell the truth, or do you wanna keep lying to my face?” Jace asked desperately.

Bobby sighed, resigned to his fate. “Okay. Okay. She texted me.”

“Why was she texting you?”

“I don’t know." His arms slowly lowered. " She was drunk, or high, or both, and she texted me. I told her she shouldn’t be drinking or smoking.”

“Why did you care?”

Bobby looked at the floor in silence.

“Why the fuck did you care?” Jace shouted.

Bobby looked up sharply. “Watch your mouth, boy!”

Jace laughed, and he sounding like someone else to himself. “What are you gonna do if I don’t? Huh? Answer my fucking question. Why did you care if Nyleah was drinking or smoking?”

“Because, at the time, I thought she was pregnant. She told me she was pregnant with my kid.”

Jace nodded. “But she wasn’t.”

“No. She wasn’t.”

“I saw her drinking and smoking that night. There’s no way—”

“I know that, Jace."

“I bet that pissed you off, didn’t it?”

“Look—”

“What did you tell her?”

“I told her I was done with her.”

Jace frowned and shook his head. “All this time, I was wondering why she picked that night to…and she told me she didn’t wanna use a condom. She specifically told me not to pull out.”

Bobby shrugged and spread his hands. “What do you want me to say?”

“Why are you like this? Explain it to me.”

Bobby glanced toward the hallway. Debra was still in the shower, and that seemed to relieve him. “Honestly?” he said, lowering his voice. “I don’t know. I just…I just like it. That’s all.”

“Why girlsmyage?”

“I don’t know. You can’t really explain a fetish, man. You trying to tell me you don’t have something you like?”
