Page 90 of My Heart Belongs to You

NADIR:

You’re on my mind.

ROBYN:

Per usual. You miss me?

To my surprise, she responded quickly. I took advantage of having her undivided attention.

NADIR:

Always.

I’ll show you how much later on.

ROBYN:

You always back your words with action. I love that about you.

I grinned from ear to ear, so caught up in her text that I didn’t see Shiloh and Marquis at the passenger window.

“Nadir, you ready?” Shiloh asked with a smirk.

“Yeah,” I answered while putting on my seatbelt. My phone buzzed and my eyes snapped to the screen.

ROBYN:

Are random kisses only allowed when you want them.

NADIR:

Just tell me when and I’m there.

After sending my reply, I locked my phone and pulled off.

Outside of Summer’s house, me and Shiloh conspired to get Summer to open the door.

“She’s going to lose it,” I said as adrenaline rushed my veins. There was something about successfully surprising my loved ones. Just thinking about her reaction had me hype. Shiloh held the flowers on her hip; one arm wasn’t enough.

“I know. That’s why I got this big ass bouquet to go on top of it.” When Summer opened the door, her facial expression went from confusion to surprise.

She kissed Shiloh on the cheek then tugged my hair. “What are the two of you up to?”

“Oh, nothing. Just wanted to surprise the parents-to-be before the baby shower,” Shiloh explained with a smile.

Ryder appeared from behind the door, nodding his greeting to us.

“Hey, man. Can you help me grab something from the trunk?”

Shiloh and Summer went inside, probably to set those heavy ass flowers down. I knew they’d return so Shiloh could grab the other part of our gift. As the trunk lifted, Ryder sighed.

“What have you, Shi, and Marq been up to?”

I chuckled. “Something you’ll love, trust me.”

Ryder led me up the walkway to the stairs. Just as I reached the top, I saw Shiloh going to her car.

“Thanks again for coming to 8Ball,” Ryder said after we placed the bookshelf onto the ground.
