“I feel that. Neither is this. Shit nice, though. I told my baby we gone have you design us one soon. Shit, I need to get you before your price goes up.” He laughed.
“What we really need is a compound. Have our shit and a place for Pria and Ma, too.”
“Building a house in there about the only way we gone see pops. Talked to him lately?” he asked.
“Nah, for what?”
“What time Satisa getting back?” Chaz came back to us desperately.
“Hell nah, cuz. She ain’t in this shit at all,” Priest answered quickly.
“Man fuck that. I ain’t ‘bout to sit around. I’m about to find Lesha so she can talk some sense in her fucking sister.”
“Nah, cuz. She is out of this, too. Handle yo’ own business,” I echoed Priest’s sentiment.
“You hell man. Wasn’t you just with somebody else last night?” Priest shook his head.
“What the fuck do that supposed to mean? She is talking about her getting married to a nigga she never even mentioned. Talking ‘bout somethis my last message to you.Hell nah! I know what I need to do. It’s this shit swirling around. I’m gone find Hamp’s ass. Once that’s done her nerves gone be back to normal because this shit crazy.” Chaz was so damn worked up it was hard to take him seriously. His ass was about to start swinging in the air soon.
“Do what you gotta do cuz, but leave our women out of it,” Priest stated. I stood, and Chaz adjusted his stance. “Fuck all that, cuz, you know what it is. Don’t go up on no dummy mission. Whatever you do stay dangerous and think. It’s enough of us in a bind for acting off emotion. That shit with Hamp and his son, call me first.” I stepped forward, and I knew he wouldn’t, so I gripped his hand and pulled him into a hug to let him know it was love.
“You think he gone be alright?” Priest asked after Chaz walked out the door.
“Yeah, he good. He gone understand later just like we did. I’ll get with you bruh.” I nodded my head and walked out.I wanted to talk to Chaz about all the shit he should have been doing, but truth be told, that would take too much time. Time was too precious of a commodity. I was going to receive the materials and get back to my woman. Making her happy was my driving force and I wasn’t done with the surprises. There was so much more to come, and she deserved every bit.

“So sis’ taking hearts today?” I said as soon as I stepped inside the door at home. I was dead on my feet, but as I promised myself, I made it home by six. At 5:59 I pulled into the driveway. Le sat on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, watching her favorite Housewives show.
“Hmm,” she said. Yeah, she was mad. Fuck anything else but us.
“Come here,” I called, and when she was slow to move, I migrated to her. I pulled her to my feet and, looking at her, hit me right in the chest. “I’m sorry about last night.”
“Don’t, Prince. It’s okay. You are human. You are tired and it’s not a crime,” she spoke through tight lips.
“You are entitled to feel every way you feel about it. I miss you just as much. I wish there was more time in a day, and I’m not going to stand before you and tell you that there aren’t things I need to do better. What I need you to do is express yourself.”
“I’m not about to sit here and be unreasonable with you, Prince. How is the project going? I know you must be hungry. I made dinner. I can warm it up.” She set the bowl down and tried to walk past me, but I pulled her into me. I kissed her lips and I wasn’t ready for it to feel as good as it did. I went in for more, kissing her soft lips until I got my full. I pulled back and her face was so expressive. This was the Le I craved. The soft place I had to foster more each day.
“I don’t need you to be reasonable, I need you to be honest. Most times feelings don’t have the rationale that facts do. You are allowed to feel however you want without guilt. Come here.” I pulled her down on my lap. “Tell me what’s on your mind,” I urged.
“I just never experienced anything like this. It’s all different. I’m not a clingy woman, and I find myself saying things likedon’t text him again.I just feel like I’m doing too much, and I don’t know how to handle that. You are here every day, but somehow I feel like I still miss you. I thought it was sex, but it’s more than that.”
“I understand. I think about you all day and sometimes get caught up in what I want to do and what I want you to have.”
“It’s like, damn, why can’t we just shut out the world and just be with each other?”
“Let's dream about it. How does that look? Tell me your perfect disconnecting vacation. How many days, what do you want us to do or not do?” I laid back with her back on top of me. Facing her would be too dangerous. I wanted that pussy, and tonight, I was going to damn sure have it, but right now, what she needed was intimacy.
“Dream? That’s silly. We can just plan a vacation when we get time. I just need to be patient.” She pushed on my hands and I didn’t budge.
“Tell me. Close your eyes and tell me, Le.” She huffed, then I felt her relax, and I waited on her words to come.
“I think we should go back to the cabin. Maybe for a week this time. It was so short last time.”
“Hmm, the country girl fell in love with the mountain, huh?”
“No, Prince. I fell in love with you.” She whispered. Her words caught me so off guard that shit choked my chest. I was a gangster through and through but what was between us felt different.
