“I’ll handle it.”
“We are going to need a crew. We are going to need at least eight solid men and someone for the books. I know we can depend on Cairo. I don’t know about the rest.”
“I’ll take care of that, but let’s talk about it more in the morning,” I said confidently.
“I’ll let you go then, but Prince, this is it. I can feel it! Sorry, young lady, for interrupting your date.”
“I got ya, Remy.” I ended the call.
“Wow, so this is what you do?”
“How you believe this nigga and not me? I offered you a whole job and you still didn’t believe me?”
“Unfortunately because men lie to get pussy,” she answered simply as we turned to the house.
“No, them niggas lie.” I opened the door.
“Wow. I think I like this entry more than the last one.”
“Yeah? I’ll be listing it as early as tomorrow.” I was hoping for a quick sale. Now that the new project was a go I had a lot of shit to pull together in a small amount of time. Gerber company be damned, this project was mine. Just like Remy said, I could feel it. I walked around the open space with my mind turning. This next step was crucial. I was ready to work my ass off for what I wanted.
“You hear me? What’s that sound?”
“That’s the helicopter. We are taking a ride.”
“A ride? I can’t leave the state, Prince.” Her eyes widened.
“We won’t. I booked a ninety-minute trip. It would just circle around and show us the stars.” Realizing she overreacted, she turned her back to me, and I stepped in front of her. “Are you okay?” Her beautiful lips parted and closed just as quickly. She thought for a moment.
“I’d rather not talk about it right now.”
“I can respect that. Well, we have a few minutes. Follow me up here.” We ascended the steps and I took her to the balcony on the side of the master suite. When the double vanity doors opened up to a perfect view of the stars I had to admit I did this shit. It never got old. “What are you willing to tell me about yourself?” I asked.
She cocked her head and looked at me. “Why do you ask questions the way you do, Prince? It’s like you are trying to say all the right things.”
“The worst thing that a person can do is lie to me. I try not to put them in situations that breed that.”
“I don’t know then. What do you want to know?”
“What did you want to do with your life? I mean that dream you had when you were a little girl before real life started hitting.”
“Real life starting hitting hard, too,” she admitted. “I never really was the type to have the perfect job picked out. My mother taught me to be pretty and that would get me through whatever. I found out she was wrong about that quickly so it turned into a get it however you can type of deal. All I canremember is those days when I was cooking with my mother those were some of the happiest.”
“You can take all my money with the way you cook. You should lean into that.”
“I’m pretty sure I can do some other things, too.” She flirted and rubbed her ass against me while she tried to wiggle past me. I pulled her back into my chest and her breath hitched.
“I bet you can. Ain’t it beautiful out here? You like this patio?”
“I…I do.” She hummed as we swayed back and forth. She smelled so fucking good. I sidestepped her and leaned against the balcony. She shot daggers at me. “You want to play, and I can, too.” She rolled her eyes. “Your turn. What do you want to know about me?”
“What took you so long?” Her eyes plummeted to her shoes. I rubbed my hands together and ran them over my head.
“I been hurt. Pretty fucking bad. I know a lot of niggas won’t say that. You were the first woman who has made me feel something in years. I was walking around in a fog, and that night I saw your feisty ass. It was like it sliced through all that.”
“Is that why you were flirting with my sister before you saw me?” She folded her arms to show her discomfort rising.
“I did that to fuck with Chaz. He’s like a little brother to me. We’ve always fucked around that way since we were kids. I would never step on him like that. I’m not attracted to Nesha. I knew I wanted you.”
