Shane?â
I shrugged my shoulders. âHey, itâs whatever. Iâm just glad we closed that deal, and now we can move forward. If either of you would like to join me, Iâm going to dinner with my marvelous woman, and after that, weâre going home.â
Felicia decided to go with me, but Jaylin said heâd pass. Iâd guessed his mind was made up about tonight, so I didnât want to interfere any longer. Since he was staying at my place, I tossed my keys to him and told him I was most likely spending the night at Samâs place. He said that he wanted to chill for a moment, so I told him to lock up Davenports after he left.

H ow or why did I do that to myself? Seeing Jaylin again gave me no peace at all. Actually, it brought out my true feelings for him no matter how hard I tried to convince myself any differently, I was still in love with him.
Thing is, heâd looked even better than the last time Iâd seen him. His hair seemed healthier and Lord knows his body was even more intact. When he hugged me, I felt his nine plus inches of pleasure rubbing up against me. I didnât know if he was hard or not, but just the feel of it made me trickle in my panties.
Iâd asked him to meet me for dinner tonight, and at first, he declined. I assured him that dinner was all I wanted, and then he said heâd think about it. Honestly, dinner was the last thing on my mind. I wanted him inside of me and I wanted him bad. I didnât care that he was married, and his kids werenât important either. The more I thought about how Nokea took him away from me, the more and more I desired to have him.
Tonight, though, was going to be my night. If I ever had to pull myself together and make magic happen, I knew it was all up to me. I told him where and how to reach me, and once he calls, Iâll soon have my way.
When Bernie knocked on the door, I was sitting in my office envisioning tonight. Sheâd known Iâd gone to see Jaylin, and once she finished with her customerâs hair, she came to chat.
âBy the look on your face, I can tell it must have been difficult.â
âHave a seat, Bernie,â I said. She took a seat in the chair in front of my desk. âSeeing him was unlike anything Iâd ever experienced. Itâs like I was in shock or something. My words didnât seem to come out right and I got seriously tongue tied. And, that doesnât even account for the butterflies that roamed around in my stomach.â
âOkay, so the worst part is over with. Now what?â
âNow, Iâm waiting on him to call so that we can have dinner.â
âDinner? Where at?â
I shrugged my shoulders. âI donât know, but honestly, fuck a dinner. Thereâs no way I can eat when all I can think about is him making love to me.â I shook my head. âBernie, I canât wait for you to meet him. Girl, he can put Denzel Washington, Shemar Moore, Blair Underwood, Idris Elba . . . all of those fine men to shame.â
âNah, I donât know about all of that. Shemar and Idris, uh, maybe, but Denzel? There ainât no man whoâs been capable of pulling that off but Obama.â
We both laughed, and I somewhat agreed that Iâd taken my comment too far.
âSo, what time is this dinner supposed to be?â
âI told him to call me at eight. Itâs almost 7:00 P.M. and Iâm staying right here until this phone rings.â
âI have never, ever seen you so giddy about a man. Jaylin must have really put something on you.â
âThatâs putting it mildly. Once upon a time, we really had something special. I was supposed to be his wife, Bernie!â I yelled and slammed my fist on my desk. âIt should have been me and not Nokea!â
âDamn, calm down. Itâs gonâ be all right, you know.â
We smiled and I rolled my eyes at her. âI know itâs gonâ be
