screamed. “Ah, really? Shut up! I don’t believe it.”
Look at her, she is glowing and ecstatic. Is there more to this Preston? “Why didn’t you mention that he was coming or that he was your best friend?”
“Colin, I didn’t know that Lele…”
“Wait, who’s Lele?”
“Lele is Leah. That’s what I used to call her. And have you shared everything about your past with me, Colin? No, you haven’t.”
“Hold on, babe, I was about to say no I haven’t. But I thought we had time to share and now things are coming out all at once at me.”
“No, it’s not. And nothing has come out at you at all. This is my family and if we are going to be together, you have to make them your family.”
“I hear what you’re saying and I don’t have a problem with that.”
“Honest, babe, I didn’t know they were coming with her. I wouldn’t keep anything from you like that. What sense does that make? And I have nothing to hide from you.”
Colin took a deep breath to swallow the lump he was feeling rise up in his throat.
“Are there any or were there ever any feelings between you and Preston? Should I be concerned about him?”
“No and no, sweetie, not at all. I’m wearing your ring. Like I said, we’re just friends.”
“When we get there, I would like you to introduce me as your fiancé. I will follow you home.” Colin planted a wet, heated kiss on her lips, thrusting his tongue deep into her mouth, reminding her of his claim and stake.
I hope she really is being honest with me and herself. No, I trust her. All these vultures around here and she never gave me a reason not to trust her with them. But that Preston better watch himself, or I will. I definitely don’t have confidence in him. He looks like he’s up to something.
They both left to go to Monica’s condo.

Colin noticed Monica’s eagerness as they were coming up the elevator. He grabbed her hand to hold on to it.
“This elevator is so slow. I can’t wait to see my sister.” She withdrew her hand to remove her gloves.
No hand holding, that’s fine.
Monica unlocked the door and grabbed Colin’s hand again as they entered the condo.
“Hello, I’m home! Where’s everyone?”
Leah, Justin, and Preston greeted Monica and Colin at the door.
“Moe, we’re so glad to see you. I miss you sissy! Aw!” Leah yelled as she hugged her sister tight.
Colin slanted his eyes as he watched Preston’s actions. Preston’s eyes met Colin’s as he refrained from hugging Monica. She then bypassed Leah and ran to Preston and gave him a hug and a kiss on his cheek.
Colin cleared his throat and waited.
Monica broke from her embrace with Preston. “I’m sorry, babe. Everyone, this is Colin. I know he picked you up from the airport, but I just wanted to properly introduce you. He’s my fiancé.”
“Moe, girl, I must say, you have very good taste in men, just like your big sis. Did you two have any plans for tonight? Come, sissy, come sit next to me.”
Monica went and sat next to Leah, and Colin sat in the single arm chair where he could monitor everyone’s behavior. He was quiet as he studied the environment and everyone’s behavior. They all were reminiscing about their past.
She looks so happy, but is it because of her sister or Preston? I see Preston watching me as if he’s completely conscious of what he’s doing in front of me. If he touches her, I’ll smash that dick’s head!
Colin’s cell phone went off. “Excuse me.” He got up and went into the kitchen for some privacy, but still keeping everyone in plain view.
“Hello?”
“Colin. This is Neil. I’m calling from the Bureau.”
“I knew that it was the Bureau because of the extension. What’s up?”
“The Director wanted me to get you and a couple of the Agents to come down and go over some new evidence we just received. I can’t say too much over the phone. Come now.”
“Will do, Neil. I’m on my way.”
“Moe, can I talk to you for a minute
