you how great you look?”
An all too familiar attraction passed between them as they stared at one another for a moment.
“Yes, and thank you.” She blushed. “Why don’t you tell me about that beautiful baby and fiancée of yours?”
They stepped inside the waiting elevator. “I wouldn’t know where to start.”
Chapter 9
Romeo walked into “Jaded”, a local nightclub/bar to meet Krystal for some drinks. They had been going strong for a good three months now, which was saying a whole lot for Romeo. Normally he couldn’t even go three hours without hooking up with a new woman. He was proud of himself. It was hard; damn hard, but he was committed to making a change. Besides, he had really fallen for Krystal. He looked across the room and saw Krystal waving to him.
“Hey sweet pea.” She said as she stood up and gave him a kiss.
He hated it when she called him that in public. “Hey babe.”
“Honey, this is Reina. She is a friend of mine that just moved into the area.”
He reached out and shook her hand. “Nice to meet you.” He smiled.
“No, the pleasure is all mine! It’s nice to finally get to meet the man she has been talking about nonstop for months now.”
“Oh has she?” Romeo smiled at a blushing Krystal.
“Oh Lord, now you’re blowing his head up.” Krystal joked.
“So, Reina, what brings you to town?” Romeo asked as he motioned for the waitress.
“Oh, I have a small part in the play my best friend here is starring in.”
“Stop it.” Krystal gently elbowed her jokingly.
“ What ?” Romeo smiled. “You didn’t tell me you got the lead! That’s great, baby!” He stood up and walked around the table to kiss her.
“Thank you. I still can’t believe it, myself.”
“Well, you deserve it, so you should be proud!” Reina added. “Just make sure not to forget us little folks on your way up.”
‘Girl, stop.” Krystal laughed. “I’ll be right back, okay? I need to go to the ladies room.”
“So, Reina, how long have you been acting?” Romeo asked sipping his drink.
“Oh come on, Romeo. I have heard some serious stories about you.”
He raised his eyebrow. “ Really . What types of stories?”
She reached out under the table and began to slowly run her hand up his thigh. “Really dirty ones, and I’m trying find out if any of them are true.”
He jumped slightly when she reached his penis and gave it a little squeeze. “No, let’s pull this back. I thought you were Krystal’s best friend?” His face was serious, but he was fighting hard as hell inside not to bend her over the table and punish her ass. He resisted because he didn’t want to hurt Krystal.
“Didn’t she tell you that we share everything?” She smiled devilishly as he pushed her hand away.
“Nah, she didn’t tell me that.”
“Tell you what?” Krystal asked as she sat back down at the table.
“Tell me how crazy your friend, Reina is.” He chuckled uncomfortably.
Oh, yeah, she is crazy, isn’t she?” Krystal took a sip of her drink. “Come on, baby. Let’s dance.”
“Oh no. I’m a little tired from work. You go ahead without me.” He smiled.
“Okay. Come on Reina!” She said as she grabbed Reina’s hand and pulled her onto the dance floor.
He had to squeeze his knees together to tame the swelling knot between his legs as he watched Krystal and Reina dance together on the dance floor. Reina would make sure she was in plain view of Romeo; swaying her hips and grinding seductively.
“Lord, please help me.” He prayed silently.
Anton and Colbey walked out the front doors of the building after a late staff meeting.
“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow.” She said as she waved goodbye.
“Wait.” He tapped her arm before she could turn to
