"I'm sick of Jaiden," Sariyah declared, wiping her eyes.
She wasn't the only one. "At least we know what she's doing when she pisses her husband off. No wonder her jaw be hurting all the time, and she's blaming it on her tooth," I joked, still trying to get my laughter under control.
Sariyah threw her head back and laughed until tears rolled down her face. One thing my friends did for me was make me feel bad about what I did, but they also made me laugh about it. I'd never trade them for anything in the world. They had my back and gave it to me straight.
"Are you going to get your man?" Sariyah asked me.
I nodded with a smile. "I am. After what you guys said, I do owe Mylo a big apology and want to apologize to him." I dropped my head to my chest and sighed. "I feel terrible."
"As you should, but you have the chance to make it right. Now that you know that you're wrong, you can fix it and make it better," Jaiden affirmed.
Sariyah sneered. "Meanwhile, I'm still looking for a man. I'm going on a dating app."
I reached out and rubbed her back. "Girl, you still have all the time in the world. One will come to you. Just wait on him. You see, I did, and I have the best man ever."
"Meanwhile, your ass is getting mad because his baby mama is at the same party as y'all. Get the hell out of here. Do better," Jaiden retorted.
I shot daggers at her. "Shut the hell up."
"Yeah, we know the truth always hurts you."
I waved her off, not trying to feed into anything else she had to say. Jaiden worked on my damn nerves. She thought she had it together since she was in a marriage, but in marriages, couples had problems too. My parents were an example of that.
Still, I was glad I talked to my girls about what happened between A'Mylo and me. Now I had to make things right with him. I'd be damned if I lost him. What happened could be changed, and I would change it. If we had to sit down with Nya, I'd be welcome to do that too. She had to be willing to do that. The only thing I was concerned about was her popping off. As long as she could be cool, I'd be too.
In the middleof me getting dressed to head out for the day, my cell phone rang on my bed. I had no plans, but if Ni'Asia wanted to hang out, I'd take her somewhere. With the way things were going with Leighton and me, I doubted we'd last. The conversations had stopped, and I didn't know how to approach her. I was a bit rusty in the dating department since my last one. Leighton and my relationship was still fresh... that's if we were still together. I shook that thought away, knowing things would work out between us.
I picked my phone up from the bed and eyed the number, seeing that it was Leighton calling me. My heart pounded in my chest as I gulped, trying to get my bearings. I sank onto the bed and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
There was a slight pause before she greeted me.
"Good morning, Mylo. I know today is Saturday, but I wanted to know if you have time to view at least two of the homes you have on the list."
Was she serious? Did she really call me to view a damn house when we needed to talk about our relationship?
I clenched my jaw muscles together as my eyebrows furrowed. If that was the way Leighton wanted to do it, that was fine with me. I'd be straight either way. I tried to keep my anger in check when I gave her my response.
"Yeah, I'll be there. Just give me the address."
"Okay. I'll text it to you as soon as we hang up the phone."
I hung up, saying nothing else. Damn, Leighton, for real. She wanted to play in my face like that. Was that her way of saying, we were over? Fury washed through me as I threw my phone onto the bed. I'd view the damn house, but she didn't have to worry about me saying anything to her.
All this time, I had tried to rack my brain thinking of ways to get back in her good graces. Meanwhile, she was only thinking of working and showing me houses. That hurt my feelings, knowing things might not be the same between us. Would we ever get back to the way things were? Her ass could hold a grudge like no other. That was that Scorpio in her.
Even though the situation was small, we could have made up and talked it out, but we didn't. Nearly a week had passed since we last saw each other, but we continued talking until that ceased.
After I finished getting ready, I checked my phone to see if Leighton had sent the address, and she had. With a shake of my head, I headed out of the bedroom. I should make her wait on me since she had me doing this on a Saturday. She was all about work —shut the hell up. You are too,my subconscious retorted.
Fuck it. I didn't want to see no damn houses. I was only going there to let Leighton know how I felt about the whole situation. We were going to be together or go our separate ways. That was what I'd tell her. It was a chance to see her beautiful face and test our relationship.
I headed to my car after locking my apartment. Once in the car, I looked up the address and connected it to the car's Bluetooth system, then left the complex.
Ten minutes later, I pulled into the driveway of the house and did a double take. Damn, this house was beautiful. It was a light green and white home with a fence around it. Small plants were around the house, with two massive trees in the front yard. The driveway was big enough for two cars. I continued to scan the place and was impressed with what I saw. The garage door was open, and it was big enough to fit two cars and a grill. I didn't want to get my hopes up, but I had a feeling I was looking at my dream home. I still had other houses to look at, but this house, just from the outside, looked like it was mine.
The door opened, and my heart nearly stopped. Leighton stepped out onto the porch as if she had opened that door many times to greet me. The smile on her face did something to my insides. She changed her hair again. This time she wore small braids. When the hell did she get her hair done? It looked good on her, too. I took in her appearance and nearly groaned. She had those sexy legs out in a peach colored dress she wore. My dick had a mind of its own as it grew. I turned my car off and stepped out, locking the doors. My eyes were still locked on Lee.With long strides, I made my way up the driveway and onto the porch to stand in front of her. As much as I wanted to lower my head and kiss her lips, I thought better of it. I didn't know how she would react.
