Flawbulous (2014)
“Frankly, I’m not sure if I’m ready to go there again.”
–Kina Battle It was a Christmas of firsts. It was the first Christmas Kina had in her new town house, the first Christmas Kina didn’t spend with her cousins Lawson and Reginell, due to their sibling rivalry, and the first Christmas Kina shared with Elvin and Kenny.
After the presents had been opened and the football game had been watched on television, Kina, Elvin, and Kenny gathered around the table for dinner.
“Kina Anne, you sho’ know you can do some cooking!” extolled Elvin, sucking his fingers. “That was one fine meal there!”
“If you like my Christmas dinner, you ought to come back next week for New Year’s,” boasted Kina. “I make a mean pot of collards.”
“Is that an invitation?” Elvin winked at her.
Kina winked back. “If you want it to be.”
“I’d love to come back that night.” Elvin swallowed hard. “Truth be told, I’d love to come back every night.”
Kina froze, not sure how to respond to that.
