anything that makes your face look like that!”
    She turned to look out the window.
    Rion sighed. “Talk to me Tauri. Tell me what the problem is.”
      She was silent for a moment before she turned to him. “The problem Orion is that I don't know you. I don't know who you are or what you will do.”
    He nodded. “What exactly is your concern?”
      “For all I know you could have another life out there.”
      Orion rubbed his chin. “Okay Tauri, I've never been married. I don't have any children out there or crazy ass exes. I'm not attached to any other woman. My life is here now.”
    She watched him quietly. “Anything else?” he asked.
    Tauri shook her head and turned back to the window.
      “What about you?” he asked.
    She turned back. “What about me?”
      “Do you have any kids or crazy ass exes?”
      Tauri smiled. “No Orion. I don't have children or crazy ex-boyfriends. I only have my grandparents.”
    Rion smiled. “Your granny who warned you about letting me get into your panties?”
    She laughed. “Yes, and my granddaddy who loves baseball.”
      “Oh yeah, I'm supposed to meet him right?”
      “You do not want to meet my granddaddy.” She turned back to the window and Rion took her hand calling her name.
    When she looked back at him he said, “I very much want to meet your grandparents.”
      “You don't have to do that Orion.”
      “How about tonight?” he asked.
    Tauri frowned. “Are you even listening to me?”
      “Should I bring something?” he continued glancing over at her.
      “Orion Shaw, stop this foolishness right now...” she said angrily.
      Rion pulled up to Tauri's car still parked in the parking lot from yesterday. She went to get out of the vehicle and Rion stopped her.
      “No pulling back, remember?” he reminded her.
      “Since it was less than an hour ago, how could I forget?” she snapped.
    Rion touched her face gently. “So I can meet your grandparents tonight?”
      “I still don't know why you want to do that.”
    He smiled. “They'll be our kids' great grandparents so I want to meet them as soon as possible.”
      Tauri's face became inflamed and she pointed a finger at him. “I swear...you're going to stop with that!”
      She threw open the door then exited the car slamming the expensive car door shut with all her might. Rion let the window down as she walked to her car.
      “Tauri?” Rion called her name and she stopped turning back to him.
      “I never knew goddesses snored so loud.”
    Her eyes narrowed and she gave him the finger before getting into her car and taking off.
    Rion smiled. “Damn, I'm going to fall so deep in love with that girl...”
      Rion drove back to his apartment then showered and dressed before heading to have breakfast at Lance's restaurant. When he entered the establishment he spotted Khalil's twin, Khayla at the counter with Lance smiling in her face. Shaking his head, he walked over to them.
      “Hey girl!” he said hugging her gently.
      Khayla returned his embrace. “Rion, I was wondering when I was going to see you. Kyros went on and on about his day with Uncle Rion.”
    Rion smiled. “That's my little dude.” He turned to Lance. “What's up brother?”
    Lance gave Rion a handshake and pat on the back. “What up doe?”
      Rion had caught the look Lance had been giving Khayla when he'd walked in and knew that despite his protests, Lance had it bad for her. Khayla was a caramel beauty with enough curves to shut down traffic completely.
      “I'm here for breakfast but since this cutie is here, I think I'll buy hers too.” Rion winked at Khayla.
    Lance frowned. “She's already had breakfast.”
      Khayla smiled at Lance and took Rion's arm. “I'll just keep you company. I haven't seen you in a while.”
      Rion and Khayla found a table while Lance shot daggers at them. He finally turned and walked into the back when the two were seated.
    Rion laughed and looked at Khayla.
