“Alright, y’all.” Chandler called all of our attention back to her. “It’s officially been ten minutes since we posted the video. Let’s do it.”
She grabbed her laptop and we all watched as she typed in the email and password for the official label email. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes while it loaded. I counted to three before I opened them and a smile took over my face.
“The emails are already pouring in!” Chandler bounced on her feet and my friends and family cheered.
I hit Rome on the back then walked over to Chandler and yanked her in. I hugged her while Charm and Myome yelled and cheered on the phone.
“Look at my husband, the label owner.” Myome flicked her eyes up and down and I grinned.
“Wait till you get back to start looking at me like that,” I warned.
“Trust me, I will.” She blew me a kiss. “Okay. We just wanted to say congratulations because we saw your video go up. Go celebrate with everyone and call me when you get home.”
“A’ight. Will do. I love you, Twin.”
“I love you too, baby.” She winked at me and I winked back before we hung up.
I walked around the room hugging and dapping my friends and family then circling back to the television and just standing in front of it, my arms crossed over my chest as I watched email after email pour in before my eyes.
We all chilled for a few more hours before going our separate ways.
I was still on my parents’ street when a call from Chandler popped up.
“What’s up? I forgot something?” My eyebrows furrowed and I pulled over in case I needed to turn back around.
“Uh, this actually may be a bigger issue.” She cleared her throat.
“What’s up?”
“Well…” She took a deep, shaky breath.
“Chandler, spit that shit out.”
“Monica had her baby!” she blurted.
“Okay?” I pulled back off and scoffed. “Good for her.”
“She’s publicly claiming it’s yours again.”
“The fuck you mean she’s publicly claiming it’s mine?”
“I just sent you the link to the live broadcast she’s doing.”
“Good looking out. I’ll hit you back.”
I hung up and quickly went to our messages to tap the link.
Monica was online with a blank screen labeled as the BB Be Knowing page. I glanced at the screen then the road.
“I have the blood test right here.” Monica waved an envelope in the camera. “I know exactly who my baby daddy is and he knows who he is too.”
“And are you here to announce who it is?” a distorted voice asked.
Monica feigned like she was thinking about it then sighed.
“All I’m going to say is that I’ve only ever been linked publicly with one man and we all know who that is and the history we have.”
“And how do you feel about this side chick narrative people are pushing?”
