Page 69 of Fever: Love In Scrubs
“Can I enjoy my night a little first before you try to be fresh with me?”
He chuckled. “Seriously, though. I hope you have a good time, love. Enjoy my sister while you can because once she gets that liquor in her system, she’s calling my brother-in-law to come get her.”
I laughed. “I’ve been warned that she might ditch us for her husband.”
“Stay outta my business, Jaxson!” Asia yelled.
“She is my business. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.”
“I can’t wait to see you either.”
“Have a good night, baby. Call me when you get home.”
“We’re about to head out now. It might be late when we get back.”
“I’ll answer for you. I just wanna make sure you get home safe.”
I smiled. “Okay. Talk to you later.”
“Talk to you later.”
We disconnected the call, and I looked up to see my cousin and Asia grinning at me.
“Y’all are so cute,” Tinka said. “I can’t wait to see this in person.”
Asia giggled. “According to my niece, it’s just as adorable. Y’all ready to go?”
“Ready!”
We grabbed our essentials and headed downstairs. As we stepped outside, we noticed a blacked-out Escalade sitting in front of the house. A handsome black man dressed in a suit was standing outside the back passenger door.
“What is this?” I asked, approaching him.
“Good evening, ladies. My name is Dean. Mr. Pierre hired me to drive you all tonight. Whatever you need, I’m at your disposal.”
“Not he sent a car for you!” Tinka exclaimed.
“Oh, he’s pulling out all the stops,” Asia said. “Thank you, Mr. Dean!”
He smiled as he opened the back door and extended his hand to let each of us in. Settled in our seats, Dean handed the aux cord to us.
“Oh, Dean, we’re about to have it lit in here,” Tinka said, snatching it. “I hope you like trap music.”
Dean chuckled. “I’ve listened to a little of everything in this line of work. Have at it.”
While she searched for the music, I pulled out my phone to text Jaxson.
Me: You did not have to send a car for us, sir.
Dr. Bae: I know, but I wanted you all to have a good time without worrying about how you’d get home if you got fucked up.
Me: Thank you, baby.
Dr. Bae: Baby? I like the sound of that. I need to hear that in person.
Me: LOL. I’ve got you.
Tucking my phone away,I tuned in to the song selection. Tinka and Asia were already dancing and rapping along, forcing me to join in. Tonight was going to be a good night.
