“See you.”

“And Salima?”

“Yes?”

“Don’t get a nigga fucked up out there.”

“Bye, Stanely.”

I could hear him laughing as I hung up in his face. I could feel Shar’s eyes on me. When I looked over, she had a smirk on her face.

“What?”

“Nothing! Nothing!” She stood from the lounge chair and adjusted her bikini. “You taking a swim or are you gonna give your boo a little show. You know he’s really gonna check those cameras. Give him something to look at.”

She bent over and twerked her ass, garnering more than a few whistles from the men. I shook my head. She might have thought this was playful, but she didn’t see the seriousness in that man’s face last night when he stood against that wall watching me. She didn’t see how quickly the men around us averted their gaze. I was sure he’d have Jaeda pull the camera feed. Something about that excited me. Maybe he was right. Maybe I did like a little danger.

“I’ll take it.”

Salima was going to blow her shit. I really had no intention of getting her car fixed. I mean I did have my boy check it out so I could give her an accurate assessment. The shit wasn’t worth the money she was going to continue to put into it. I told him to make it run, but I already had plans to get her into a new whip.

When I left his shop this morning, I came straight to the dealership to buy her a car like I said I would. She was about to be the proud owner of a 2022 Infiniti Q50. It was fully loaded, black on black interior and exterior and black rims. It was sexy and was a perfect fit for her.

“Cash, card, or check?” Lou asked.

I picked up my backpack and set it on the table. “Cash. There’s a little something extra in there for you.”

“I appreciate you, man.”

I stood and shook his hand. “You always get me right, Lou. Make sure they fully detail that bitch. I wanna be able to see my reflection in this paint job.”

“I got you.”

“I’ll be back to pick it up tomorrow. I have some business to take care of today.”

“No problem. I’ll make sure it’s pulled from the showroom.”

“Thank you. Be easy, Lou.”

I stepped out of his office and headed out to my car where Maceo was waiting. He shook his head as I climbed into the driver’s seat.

“Trick ass nigga,” he mumbled.

I laughed. “I’d say I’m doing a good deed.”

“And just how are you gonna get her to accept a brand-new car?”

I grinned as I pulled out of the parking lot. “You underestimate me. She’ll take it. She’ll have no choice.”

“What is it about this girl, Deuce?”

“Shit if I know, man. She’s fine as hell and I like her smart-ass mouth. She’s a lil’ dramatic, but she’s funny without even trying.”

“Let me find out you trying to make her your woman. You done with your ho phase?”

“I ain’t ever been no ho. I don’t stick my dick in everything. Although I do wanna stick it in her. I just know that pussy is top tier.”

“Well, you need to make haste. I’m trying to see what up with her friend.”
