yes.
Quickly, he picked me up and took me into his room, locking the door behind us. I watched him as he cut his radio on and cut the lights off. I was glad he did. I didn’t want him to see the fear and disgust in my eyes. I couldn’t believe I was about to give my virginity to my best friend’s boyfriend, my boyfriend’s cousin.
Courtney waving his hand took me out of my flashback. I quickly opened the door and took him into my arms.
“Damn, it’s good to see you, Lay. What’s good?” he said into my ear as he pulled me deeper into him.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were getting out? I would’ve thrown you a party or something.” I asked before removing myself from our embrace.
“I wanted to surprise you. I missed y’all.”
“We missed you too. Come in. You hungry or thirsty?”
“I wouldn’t mind a home cooked meal. You got some leftovers or something?” he asked following me into the den.
“Nah, you know Ion cook. That’s Kai.”
“Where she at anyway? I can’t wait to see my baby.”
“Umm…”
Grabbing me and turning me to face him, he removed the smile that covered his face a few seconds ago.
“Umm, what? What that mean? She got a nigga now or some?”
“Well… I don’t know exactly. She’s messing with somebody and she hasn’t done that in a while so I don’t know.”
“Who is it? Where she stay at?”
“Look, I’ma let her tell you all that. I’ll set some up for you to see her.”
“That’ll work. Now, get yo ass in that kitchen and fix me something to eat,” he demanded before slapping me on my ass and sitting on my couch.

I’d spent every day of the past week in business meetings just so I could have the entire weekend and next week off. That was one of the main things that I loved about my job. I got to set my own hours and pick and choose who I wanted to work with. If I wasn’t spending the night at Bishop’s, he was spending the night at mine. Between working days and him working late nights at the club or lounge some nights, all we’d do together was sleep, literally. He’d come in, take a shower, get in bed, and we’d crash, but that was what was cool about us… It wasn’t about sex. It wasn’t about showing off and having commitment just for the fun of it. It was a genuine connection and our vibe was amazing. I definitely could see myself sitting in a rocking chair with him fifty years from now in silence and that was what it was about to me.
I was genuinely looking forward to spending some time with my baby, but that was ruined when Lay told me that she wanted to go out tonight. She knew that wasn’t my thing. I’d much rather spend the night cuddling with my boo, but I’d never hear the end of it if I chose to spend all week with him and not give one night to her, so I gave in. I decided to wear thi s black lace nude mock neck midi dress. I loved the way those types of dresses accentuated my curves. I paired the dress with some red pumps and red lipstick.
For some reason, Lay wanted me to meet her at the restaurant instead of us riding together. I decided to let Bishop drop me off and pick me up so I could go straight to his crib when my night with her was over. I wasn’t expecting him to come in, but I should have known he was going to. He didn’t want me to stay dressed the way I was, but I promised to be on my best behavior and he agreed only if he could come in and make his presence known. When we walked into the restaurant, I thought my eyes were deceiving me. I could’ve sworn I saw Lay sitting across from another man, but I knew she couldn’t have been talking and laughing with someone else because Rell was crazy and he would spazz. Bishop was walking over before I was, but I grabbed him by the back of his shirt, getting him to slow down.
“Know ya girl ain’t out here trying to play my nigga,” he said as we walked towards the table.
“Of course not.” I wanted to defend her more, but I honestly didn’t
