“Nah!” I yelled back. “Answer the phone, so we can talk this out like adults.” I dialed her number again. This time, her soft voice glided through the phone. “Yes, Royale?” “Aye, stop calling me that,” I warned. She didn’t say anything. Her breathing was the only way for me to know she was still on the phone. “Ask what’s making you feel uncomfortable,” I instructed. We might as well get it all out in the open. “Who is she?” “Her name’s Briana. She was a friend.” “And you have sex with her?” “I used to. Last Thursday was the last time,” I answered honestly.
