“I’m the girl who’s going to ask you who was in your car, who’s that girl calling your number, and where were you when you claimed you were at the gym. I’m the one who might even send her friends into your DMs to see how you’ll react.”
“The only females that you’ll ever see in my car are my mom and my sister. They’re also the same females who will be calling my phone, unless it’s my work phone, and it’s a client or constituent. If I weren’t at the gym, you’d already know that I wasn’t going because I’m the one who’s going to share my location and let my woman know where I’m heading. Any woman in my DMs is about to get ignored or blocked. But if you’ve got to do all that to a man, he’s not your man, beautiful.”
“You’re right, but I still only need a friend right now.”
“I could always use a friend, baby girl.”
He licked his lips and smiled. “Or a perfect distraction.”
My body hummed with need.
“I need to head out. I’ve got a few site inspections today.”
“What is it that you do anyway?”
“I’m an architect.”
“That’s cool. Well, I guess I’ll be seeing you around.”
“You definitely will. Let me know if you need someone to hike those stairs with you during lunch,friend.”
I laughed and watched him walk away, just as my phone rang.
“Hey, Nobi.”
“Hey, Lacy. How’s my favorite sister?”
“I’m your only sister,” I replied and laughed.
“Maybe, but if you weren’t, you’d still be my favorite.”
I laughed and replied, “Ditto. To what do I owe the pleasure of this call in the middle of the day?”
“I was on my lunch break and ran into an old friend of yours.”
“Yeah. Who?”
“Regal. He had two black eyes, a busted lip, and his front teeth were missing. Not to mention that he was walking with crutches.”
“Damn, what happened to him?” I asked, only slightly concerned, but not enough to call him.
“Girl, you know what happened to him. Bam happened.”
“You think your future baby daddy did that?”
“I know he did, no matter what he says.”
“You know he would have your ass, talking over this phone like this.”
We both giggled, knowing how Bam felt about discussing anything over the phone.
“He would, but it is what it is. As soon as that nigga recognized me, his ho ass ran in the complete opposite direction. Legacy, I literally mean ran.”
We both chuckled again. “It’s nice to know that Bam still got those hands. Tell him baby sister said thanks.”
“Will do. In the meantime, have you given that guy you told me about any more consideration?”
“Funny you should mention him. He just walked away from me. He’s heading to some meetings now.”
