“…so I finally pull myself together and decide to leave for lunch, and as soon as I step out of my office, Janine is standing there by the door with this weird look on her face. And I got all paranoid, wondering how long she’d been standing there, but then I thought you would’ve told me when you left.”
I rubbed her bare shoulder. “Nah, she wasn’t out there when I left. Did she say anything?”
She shook her head against my chest. “Nope, just gave me that crazy look. Didn’t even reply when I told her I was going to lunch. And some of the other staff were looking at me crazy, too.”
I chuckled. “I’m sorry, Doc. Didn’t mean to cause any trouble. I really didn’t think you’d yell like that.”
“Don’t I always yell when we have sex, Zo?”
“Yeah, but then you should’ve stopped me.”
“I told you I can’t control myself around you.”
I laughed. “Oh, yeah. I forgot.”
She lifted herself from my chest, and a second or so later, she was straddling me. She leaned forward to kiss me, and asked, “I know you said you don’t have a girlfriend, but are you seeing anyone else at all, Zo?”
With knitted brows, I replied, “When would I have time, Doc?”
She shrugged. “When I’m at work, or when I distanced myself from you.”
“No, baby. I’m not. Are you?”
She shook her head as she sat up straight. “No. So we’re exclusive then?”
I nodded. “Yeah.”
I laid there for a second, watching the wheels turn in her head before I asked, “Your husband cheated on you?”
She sighed quietly. “Several times.”
I placed my hands on her hips. “I’m sorry. That’s why you left him?”
“I left him after he cheated for a third time, or at least I know of three times. Anyway, I left after his woman dropped their baby off for me to babysit for her. I was blindsided, didn’t know about her or the baby. That was it.”
That little ugly-ass nigga really was a moron. “Damn, Doc. I don’t know what to say. He has to be the stupidest fool in Creation to do that to you. But I guess for some men, even the best isn’t good enough.”
“The best, huh?” she asked, biting her bottom lip, making that dimple appear.
“Hell, yeah. The absolute best.”
“Better than Sofia Vergara?”
“Who? I ain’t never been with her.”
“Your little date at the benefit.”
I lifted a brow. “Are you jealous of Veda?”
She pursed her lips. “That’s her name, huh? Veda…”
“Yeah, you jealous of her, Doc?”
“Yeah.”
“Don’t be. We had an arrangement, kind of a mutual understan—”
