Nyimah’s eye.”
“I did.”
“I’m going to go talk to Dave,” Catrina had announced.
He was there with Tyree discussing his favorite thing. “I’m tellin’ you that this company is going to make tons of money. Stock per share is only-” David stopped dead in his tracks when Catrina walked up and began talking.
“Excuse me. Hi, Ty” Then she looked at David and had swallowed hard. “Can I speak with you for a minute?”
He remained silent, had been in shock from hearing the first words directed to him in over two years.
He’d scratched his head when Catrina added, “In private.”
David nodded anyway and had followed her into the kitchen. “I thought that it was time that I stopped being drastic. I just wanted to bury everything that happened before.”
Assured that she must have been under the influence of something really powerful he had asked, “Catrina, are you serious?”
Taking his reaction as rejection, Catrina continued to hold her head high. She leaned back on one of the counters. “Yes, I’m serious. I just thought that it would be pointless for us to continue to ignore each other when we have the same circle of friends. Maybe I was wrong,” she added when he stared blankly. This is such a mistake, she had been thinking, losing her heart to continue. “Yeah, I can see now that it was,” she responded when he remained silent. She made a moved to leave the kitchen, but he grabbed her before she could make her dignified exit.
“No, just give me a minute to process this,” he’d told her, bringing her around to stand in front of him. “You just decided that I can be talked to, and you thought that I would just fall into line.”
Catrina stepped closer to him and lifted her pleading eyes to his. “That’s not all I want.”
David took a cautious step back and dropped her arm. “Whoa, I must be the fuck dreamin’.”
“David, I need to be honest with you,” she had explained. “I’m over what happened between us. And that’s why I’m able to come to you with what I have to say now.” Her heart had been pounding in her chest as each word fell from her lips.
“And that would be?”
“I thought that we could be friends and that maybe we could sleep together.”
She would never get over the look on his face when he said, “You want me to fuck you?”
She had laughed. “Yes. Now that I’ve said it, I’ll let you think about it for a while.”
David had grabbed her again. “Naw, stand here. You don’t speak to me for two years and four months, and the first words that you basically say to me are can we fuck?” he had exploded.
At that point she had raised her eyebrows and didn’t say anything, because she took heed to his grabbing warning.
She then half listened to him rant about her being stubborn and hardheaded. When she through listening to him, she had told him to sit down and kindly asked him to shut up.
They had in that time discussed how their relationship would be.
It was at this point left open if either of them were following the rules and outline they’d agreed on back then.
“It’s Mike,” the strong male voice said, disrupting old memoires.
Catrina opened her eyes.
Oh shit, I forgot , she thought. “Hey, Mike, what’s up?”
“I thought that you were gon’ to come down last night?” he questioned.
“Mike, baby, I forgot. I was up all night with Chantel. She and Chris had a fight last night. She was a wreck,” she added.
“How ‘bout I shoot up dere and hang out with you for a while before I gotta be to work,” he suggested.
Catrina rolled her eyes. “I’m sorry, but I promised Case and Briannah that we would get together and do the girl thing. We haven’t been out since my graduation,” she explained.
He sighed. “Well, can we hook up later on, den?”
Catrina frowned. “Not sure. We may end up just kicking it.”
Mike cleared his throat. “When you gon’ just kick it with me?” he asked angrily.
Never . “I’ma
