“Oh, I know firsthand that you do that,” she said with a smirk.

“What’s up, Ming? Is there something I can help you with?” he quizzed.

“You know I’ve never even been here before. My girl suggested we give it a try. Now, I see why God led me here. I needed to see this. I’m just wondering why when I asked about coming over tonight you said you had to work.”

“You don’t have to wonder why I said anything. When have you ever known me to lie?” he asked.

“I’m starting to wonder about that too,” she countered.

“Don’t bother. As you see, I’m trying to have dinner with these nice ladies, so please don’t make a scene,” he stated calmly. His even tone only seemed to fuel the fire dancing in her eyes.

“Oh, that’s what you’re so worried about? You worried about me making a scene in front of these nice young ladies?”

He sighed and dropped his head before addressing her. “Ming.”

“If one of these nice ladies you’re trying to hide me from is your bitch, I need her to know what her man has been up to for the past few months. You had your face in my pussy two days ago. Now, you’re out with the next bitch.”

“Let’s go.” He stood calmly and placed his hand on the small of her back.

“I know why she’s clowning like that. Look at those lips. You just know he eats the pussy down,” Tremaine commented, shaking her head.

I ignored her comment and instead watched as Liam led the woman out of the restaurant as if she wasn’t just over here clowning and accusing him of cheating on or with her. When the waitress came and took our orders, I went ahead and ordered a sweet tea for Liam and let her know that he was coming back.

By the time our food arrived, he hadn’t returned. I remember seeing his contact information on the email Syre sent about my new team. I scrolled through my emails until I found the one I was looking for. After copying Liam’s number, I pasted it in the empty box so I could send him a message. He was so eerily calm as he left the restaurant that I was worried that he might hurt the poor girl who didn’t know how to watch her mouth.

Me:

Hey, we ordered already. Did you know what you wanted?

Liam:

Lost my appetite. Go ahead without me.

Me:

Liam, just explain to your girlfriend that you work for me.

Liam:

I don’t work for you.

Me:

You know what I mean.

Liam:

She’s not my girlfriend, and she’s fine.

Me:

I’m ordering turkey wings, cabbage, and mac for you. Is that cool?

Liam:

Yeah

Ask your girl if she wants to find out. Lol.
