“No, I’m good.”
He focused on the road while I looked for something to play for our next trip. Once I had my next playlist, I ran over to my girls' group chat. They were already in there going off.
Satisa: How’s it going?
Nesha: This hoe ain’t answering. She probably already got her ass up and head between the headboard!
Satisa: No she does not! She gone let that man take her out first at least. Right…
I laughed and I texted back.
So far so good. I’ll call as soon as I get home.
“What you smiling at?” I asked Prince when I caught his expression in the window.
“You on your phone talking shit about me, huh?”
“You swear,” I said, but I ensured my security screen remained intact. His phone began to ring. He silenced it. My mood changed. I tried not to let that shit bother me. In the back of my mind, I always wondered why a man as fine as Prince claimed to be single. My trust issues were way too high that anything out of place tipped the scale. Nesha was right. The only thing I needed to think about was having him warm my bed if he was up to par.You know that man would fuck you senseless.Why the hell did men lie the way they did? It was always my experience. Maybe it was me.
The next thing I knew, I was scrolling through my phone, doing what I promised myself I wouldn’t. I was reading all the text messages Devin sent me from different numbers. Devin knew me. My block game was strong but Devin was the type not to go down easy. He would text and call from a series of different numbers until I finally gave in. This time the only timeI would answer was to curse his ass out. That wouldn’t happen until I was good and ready. Just that quickly, I was ready to go home, but we were already on our way to our next destination. Wherever that was.
When he took the exit off the highway, I sat up with anticipation, thinking of what was next. When we stopped, we pulled into the driveway of an elaborate home.
“Whose house is this?” I asked.
“Right now, no one’s. I bought this for a steal, rehabbed it, and I’ll put it on the market.”
“Umm hmm. So you mean to tell me you just have all these nice houses just lying around?”
“Damn, you looking at me like you want to see the deed. Didn’t we talk about you helping to stage some of these?” He laughed that smile, threatening to take me under. Then his phone rang again.
“Looks like someone really wants to get in contact with you.” I popped the door open and stood outside the car irritated as hell.
Prince
She did not like that shit at all. Le was showing red flags already, but as good as her ass was looking in that dress, those red flags were looking like six flags in my eyes. Her trust issues were peeking through heavily and I had to sit in the car for a beat to ask myself if I wanted an uphill climb of continuing to prove myself to a woman I hadn’t hurt. Then I looked at her. Yes, she was beautiful, but it was this pull I felt to her. Something beneath the surface was fighting for freedom that she just didn’t know how to get to. It was magnetic. Was I reaching? This was the same place I fell victim to that led me down the road where I lost myself. I just couldn’t help how much I was drawn to her.
“Let’s talk,” I said sensibly as I made my way to her. She flashed a fake smile across her face.
“Talk about what? You are a grown man. Anybody calling your phone is your business. I’ve had a great time so far. What’s next?” she spoke quickly.
“I don’t have anything to hide from you, Le. If you want to ask me a question that’s all you really have to do. We don’t have to overcomplicate it.” I stepped in front of her to cut her path. She was content with running a marathon, going nowhere fast. I took the perfect angle that made her back up against the car. I stepped in leaving little space between us. She pulled her soft, pink-painted lips into a tight line. The kiss I stole did nothingto take off the powder color. Her brown eyes moved away from me. When I placed my hand on her hip her soft eyes found mine again. Sensibility be damned, I wanted this woman. Red fucking flags and all.
“You are right. We don’t have to overcomplicate anything. What’s next.” She tried to slink away but I pulled her back. See that shit made me want to tame her ass. Tie her ass up until she begged to cum. Flashes of her legs locked around my shoulders while I was digging her out telling her to cut that fucking attitude crept into my mind. I lifted my eyes to the heavens trying to control the urge that suddenly took hold of me. She folded her arms across her chest. Then she burst out in a disgusted laugh when my phone rang again. Only one person called me like that. Instead of explaining it I answered and put it on the roof of my car on speaker.
“Remy, I am in the company of a beautiful woman. I thought you would’ve gotten the point after I didn’t answer the first two times.” I saw her face change for a moment but she placed the mug back soon after. I knew the conversation she was having in her head was on ten.
“You? Yeah right, stop the bullshit. I have news about business, so stop playing with your dick and listen,” Remy said and that pulled a laugh from Le so loud she snorted and covered her mouth.
“Who the hell is that?” Remy asked like I just didn’t tell him.
“The beautiful woman. Remy this is Le, Le this is my business partner Remy. One day, when you meet each other, you will understand why his mouth is the way it is. His old ass forgot to take his medicine.”
“Call me when you get done.”
“Tell me now. She is okay to hear this.”
“I just got a call. I have a few guys on the inside. They are saying it is down to us and the Gerber Company for the final candidates. All they are waiting on is the banking information. Remember what they are requesting for liquid…” Remy trailed off. Le’s gaze bore into the side of my face.
