“And home with Mama is still an option, because I assure you, she is not sitting up in that house crying over Daddy,” I offered.
Nicky frowned. “How do you know that?”
I sighed, and said, “Please don’t say anything about this to her, but…” By the time I finished my story about Mama and her side dude, both Renee and Nicky wore slack-jawed expressions.
Then Nicky grinned, and said, “Go, Mama! I’m going back home today!”
Renee’s expression had morphed into one of alarm. “Mama is cheating on Daddy?”
“Yeah,” Nicky responded. “And it’s about time!”
I shook my head. “Well, it’s not right, but I understand why she’s doing it.”
Renee said, “Wow.”
“Back to you, Ang. So, this thing with Ryan is serious?” Nicky asked.
I nodded. “We’re exclusive, spend most of our time together, and I enjoy being with him. And I don’t wanna hear no shit from you about me being in another relationship. It is what it is and I’m loving it.”
Nicky raised her hands. “No shit from me, because Ryan is most definitely relationship worthy. I bet he’s wearing your ass out, too! Looks like you’re getting laid properly from the way you were swinging your ass on the way to that counter a minute ago.”
“Nicky, please stop,” I said.
“And he must really like the right side of your neck, because it’s damn near one big solid hicky on that side.”
I sighed and tried not to smile.
“It looks like he’s crazy about you, too. I saw that hair-washing video last night and it brought me to tears,” Renee interjected.
I had to admit that when I was doing the voiceover and editing the video, my heart swelled at seeing him take such care with me.
“And when he stopped washing your hair for a second and kissed the back of your neck and then licked his lips? Girl, I just melted,” Renee added.
“I forgot about that part!” Nicky said. “That was hot!”
That was my favorite part, another part I’d debated cutting but was glad I left in, mostly so I could see it myself over and over again.
I smiled. “Yeah, he was sweet to wash it for me. Felt good, too. And he did a great job.”
“I bet it felt better than good,” Nicky suggested.
The little coaster started blinking and buzzing, so I left to get the food with Nicky in tow to help me carry it. We were at the counter getting the trays when a voice from behind me said, “You get anything for me?”
I set the tray down and spun around to find Ryan standing there wearing a huge grin on his face. “What are you doing here? Did I tell you this was where I was meeting my sisters?”
He pulled me into his arms and kissed me. “No, I actually just had a taste for one of their acai bowls. You being here is an added bonus.”
“Come join us, Ryan,” Nicky damn near shouted from behind me. “We’re right over there.” I assumed she was pointing our table out.
“All right, I’ll be over after I place my order.”
Once Ryan joined us, Renee and Nicky just stared at him with these goofy-ass grins on their faces. I sighed. Ryan chuckled.
“When are y’all gonna start grilling me? I know you want to,” he said.
“Well, since you asked…” Nicky began.
“Nicky, you better not,” I said.
