“I had to put on a full face of make-up, Ryan,” I offered as an explanation for still not being ready.
“I didn’t say anything.”
“You thought it.”
He shook his head as he clicked through the channels.
I eyed him looking gorgeous from his face to his Nikes. “Have I told you lately how fine you are?”
He shook his head again. “Nah, but you keep talking like that, and we might never make it to the conference.”
“How’d it look?”
“Nice, filling up.”
“That your way of telling me to hurry?”
“Naw, baby. You’re 4C Angie. I know you’ve got to look your best, but honestly, you always look beautiful to me. You could’ve rolled out of bed and not washed your ass and you still would stand out in the crowd.”
I left the bed and slid into his lap, wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. “Aw, thank you, baby.”
He rested a hand on my thigh and kissed me back. “Mm-hmm. You’re gonna start someth—” His phone started buzzing and I stood from his lap. “Don’t run,” he said as he checked the screen.
I grinned as I stepped into the bathroom to finger-comb my hair.
“Hello? Hey, man…Yeah, we’re in Memphis…No, not yet…Waiting on Angie’s slow ass…”
“Who is that?!” I yelled from the bathroom.
“My boy, KC. He wants to talk to you.”
I walked into the room, and as I took the phone from him, Ryan said, “Put it on speaker.”
When I strode back into the bathroom, ignoring his request, he yelled, “KC, your ass better not lie on me!”
“Hello?” I said into the phone.
“Hey, Angela? First, I wanna tell you me and my wife love your videos.”
“Thanks, I appreciate you guys for watching.”
“KC! Man, I promise you better not be telling her some bullshit!” Ryan yelled.
“And I don’t know if you know it, but Ryan is crazy about you.”
I smiled. “I know. I’m crazy about him, too.”
“KC, I swear I’ma kick your ass the next time I see you!”
I closed the bathroom door. “Hey, he told me you work at Sable Inc., too?”
“Yeah, I told him about the job he has now.”
“Is everything okay at work? He won’t really tell me anything. He won’t discuss work with me since…”
“Since he got in trouble a couple of weeks ago? Yeah, Ryan doesn’t deal with problems well. But work is cool. Glenn, his boss? He’s a prick, one of the few that work at this company, but he actually likes Ryan because he’s good at what he does. The buzz around here is the project in Romey is going well despite the delay.”
“Good. He’s been working seven days a week since that happened and I wasn’t sure if he should come here with me, but he insisted.”
