"Oh uh—" Kyree stammered, struggling to grab her phone and take it off speaker. I glanced toward Kysre, who held her hands up, wanting no parts.
"Leave it on speaker," I instructed Kyree.
"River?" Honey asked.
"What job is she supposed to do?" I questioned.
"Now you know I don't put you in my business," Honey replied.
"Give me a minute," I told the twins.
"Gladly." Kyree was about to leave until I stopped her. "Leave the phone."
"River," She sulked but left the phone and stomped her bratty ass out of my office.
"Honey, what the hell do you have that girl doing?"
"Nothing she doesn't wanna do. I know how you feel about them, but they're not as innocent as you think."
"I can't believe Kyree is out here like that."
"She doesn't do much. She's more of the distraction. It's Kysre you need to worry about. That girl is?—"
"Wait, you have both of them doing this shit with you?" I blacked.
"Again, they are not as innocent as you think."
"Honey, you shouldn't even be doing this shit, and you're grown. Why would you let them?—"
"First, let me stop you. I'm grown as fuck. How I get it is how I get it. When I want an opinion, I'll ask for one. Second, the twins are twenty-one, not sixteen. They are old enough to make their own decisions, which they have. When they first came to me, I told them no. They kept asking, getting on my damn nerves. I didn't agree until Kyree's smart mouth ass said she'd just do it herself. I figured them doing it with me was better than them doing it on their own."
"I guess." I sighed, knowing I had no wins in the conversation.
"They're smart girls. You don't have to worry."
"I'm always going to worry. It's just who I am. Anyway, are you coming to the race tonight?"
"Hell yeah, I'm not racing though."
"That's fine. Kyree is supposed to race."
"My girl's gonna get to the bag by any means." Honey chuckled.
"That's what I'm afraid of," I smacked.
"Listen, we're all gonna do what we feel is best. Is Crown coming out tonight?"
"He's supposed to, but I don't know."
"I thought things were good since y'all date at the racetrack."
"They are, and that's what's stressing me out."
"Oh, don't worry. I'm texting the chat right now, letting the girls know we need a day."
"It's not that deep. I'm probably just in my head about things."
"Nope, it doesn't matter. I'ma set it up. I'm sure we all can use a vent session. Now give Kyree back her phone. Love you, BB."
