“Oh, let me get back to your favorite part.” I grinned.

Our eyes stayed connected as I tugged at the string and removed the sarong, letting it fall to the floor.

“Thick ass. You’re too pretty to think you have to show your body off for attention.”

“I don’t think that, Liam. I know my worth.”

“You weren’t acting like it today. When I saw you snatch this little skirt off, I jumped in that fucking pool and swam across it so I could snatch your little bitty ass up.”

“Is that why you’re wet?” I asked, unable to stop myself from laughing.

“Hell yeah. You should have seen the look on your boy toy’s face. His ass was stuck when I hopped out that pool. I was already on high alert because it looked like y’all were arguing. Then you yanked that shit off, and all I saw was your naked ass. I dove in that water like Michael Phelps.”

“I’m not naked, Lee Lee.” I shook my head and laughed.

“From afar, I couldn’t tell the difference. Even though I knew better, I saw red. I really wanted to fuck your little boyfriend up, but I had more pressing issues once you put this ass on display.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“Think about it this way. You claim that I mean something to you. Am I correct to assume that’s true?”

“Absolutely, Liam. I love you,” I confirmed.

“OK. Well, you should think about me when you’re making decisions. Whether you knew I was there or not, you should have considered what I would think and how I would feel seeing you like that in front of a crowd. I would never tell you how to dress, but you have to consider my feelings to some extent.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Now, if you would have come with me, it would be different. Niggas would already know you were off limits.” He smiled.

“So if we would have gone as a couple, you wouldn’t mind me wearing this?”

“I’m not gon’ lie. I might have some thoughts. All eyes were on you as it was. I’m used to that just from working with you all this time. Men and women notice you. You’re gorgeous, so I can’t blame them.”

“Thank you,” I said, lowering my eyes and actually blushing.

No, Liam did not make me blush. It was wild that he could still do that.

“All this ass almost got every nigga out there fucked up too.” Liam simpered as he reached around and palmed my ass.

“You know you didn’t have to worry about any of them.”

“How am I to know that? You were parading around with that jackass and making sure everyone out there knew you were the finest thing in attendance,” he countered.

“That’s part of the game. Plus, the only reason I wore this was because when we went on our first date, he pretty much tried to make me feel like trash for wearing shorts. They were tasteful and not showing anything at all. He said there was no tasteful way to wear shorts, and I needed to cover up. I wanted to gag his ass.”

Liam scoffed. “Well, I don’t know about him, but consider me gagged as fuck.”

“I would have loved to see his face. You grabbed me up before he could fix his mouth to respond.”

“You just finished saying that you know your worth. Never lower yourself to prove a point to a muthafucka that you already know doesn’t deserve you, D. Don’t let this situation make you forget who you are.”

“You’re right.” I nodded. “I was just thinking about something. Since you’re already wet, you wanna get in the pool?”

“I’ve never seen you use that thing.” He chuckled.

“What are you talking about? Me and the girls go out there all the time.”

“Yeah to lounge beside it with y’all’s wine. I’m talking about getting in the water.”
