Anthony DROPS a Bomb on Amber: “Shayla Finally Let Kai Stay Over! 😮
[Scene: Living room, Amber fixing her hair in the mirror while Anthony walks in looking excited.]
Amber: (smiling) Well, somebody’s in a good mood. What’s this about?
Anthony: (grinning) Oh, you already know when I’m smiling like this, something big done happened.
Amber: (raising an eyebrow) Anthony, don’t start teasing me. Just say it.
Anthony: Aight, alright. Shayla… finally agreed to let Kai spend the night.
Amber: (freezes, wide-eyed) Wait, WHAT? Say that again.
Anthony: (laughs) You heard me. I put my foot down, had that talk, and Shayla said yes. Kai staying the night—here, with us.
Amber: (blinking, shocked) Hold up. THE Shayla? The same Shayla who clutches Kai like he made outta glass? The Shayla who can’t even stand me breathing in the same zip code as her son? That Shayla?
Anthony: (nodding proudly) The one and only. I know, I know, it’s shocking. But look, baby—it’s progress.
Amber: (sits down hard on the couch) Progress? Or a setup? Because I swear, if Kai so much as sneezes in his sleep, Shayla will be at this door knocking like the police.
Anthony: (sitting next to her) No, no. This time it’s different. She actually listened. I told her straight up—you were right—we gotta be adults for Kai’s sake.
Amber: (narrowing her eyes) Mhm. And she just “listened,” huh? Anthony, you better not be sugarcoating. Did she threaten you first?
Anthony: (chuckles nervously) Maybe a little. But listen, she said yes. And that’s what matters. Baby, you’ve been holding me down through all this drama. Now it’s finally paying off.
Amber: (softening a bit) Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy. I love that little boy. But Anthony, I can already see it—Shayla calling at midnight, “How’s Kai? Did he eat? Did he cough? Put him on FaceTime so I can see him breathe.”
Anthony: (laughing) You ain’t lying. I might have to block her for one night just so Kai can sleep in peace.
Amber: (smirking) Don’t play. She’d pull up outside in pajamas with slippers on before she let you hit “ignore.”
Anthony: (laughs louder) You probably right. But Amber, this is good. This means Kai gets to see me and you together, in our home. It’s about family.
Amber: (sighs, smiling a little) Okay. You’re right. I’ll play along. But if Shayla comes for me, I’m clapping back.
Anthony: (grinning, pulling her close) That’s my rich wife. That’s the Ty energy right there.
Amber: (laughs) Rich wife energy? Please. More like survival energy.
Anthony: (serious now) Baby, for real—I love you. Thank you for standing by me. I know it ain’t been easy.
Amber: (soft) I love you too. But Anthony…
Anthony: (tilts head) But what?
Amber: (smirks) You better baby-proof this whole house before Shayla comes over here with her magnifying glass.
Anthony: (laughs, throwing his hands up) Already on it. Light socket covers, baby gates—the whole nine.
Amber: (teasing) Good. ‘Cause if Shayla don’t kill you, I will.
[They laugh together, but Amber’s side-eye says she knows this peace won’t last.]
