“I hope you don’t plan on driving them around in that toy ass car ’cause you’re damn sure not gonna get the sale.”
“What is your beef with my car?” I frowned.
“It’s a toy, Xi. Shouldn’t even be legal to drive.” He smirked and I narrowed my eyes, which made him laugh.
“Chill man, your car is cute. Shit isn’t safe but it’s cute. I have practice. I should be done by two then I want you to ride somewhere with me.”
“You’re still…we’re still…” Riding with him meant hanging out and I wasn’t expecting that. I had no clue what I expected but definitely not continuing to do what we had been doing…
He smiled sexily. “I’m not letting up on you over one mistake.”
“It was a really big mistake.”
“Yeah it was but I’m not unreasonable. I like you, more than I don’t like how last night went down. So unless you’re saying fuck this and me, then I want you to take a ride with me later.”
“Do I get to know the destination?”
“Nah, you’re just gonna have to trust me. You owe me that.”
“Fair enough.” I nodded, watching as he stood and leaned over the sofa to place a kiss on my forehead.
“Let me get dressed for practice then I’ll take you to grab something to eat before I run you to the crib.”
“I can call…”
“I wish the fuck you would bring up that iDrive shit right now. You was already hiding a husband, Xi. I need to check out your spot to make sure you don’t have any other secrets I need to know about. Might be running a trap house or some shit like that. A whole ass queen pin on the low.”
I burst out laughing. “Do I really look like I could be a queen pin?”
“You didn’t look like you could be married to that simp ass muthafucker I beat the brakes off so I’m not assuming shit.”
I left that one alone because I had not one damn argument to present. If he was giving me a chance to right my wrongs, I would take full advantage of the opportunity.
Housefour and I was starting to believe maybe I wasn’t good at this. Although Oni and Krew had nice things to say about the first three, there wasn’t any real excitement that had me convinced either of these would make the cut.
There was also the small detail that they were looking to get an offer in before the end of next week so she could focus on the new clothing line she was launching. Oni was a personal stylist and had been creating designs and ideas for a line of men’s and women’s formal clothing. If there was success with the formal line, she planned on branching off into casualwear as well.
The suit Kove was in last night was from the formal line, so I had no doubt she would be successful. He looked amazing. A lot of that was attributed to him being so fucking fine but the suit added to the blessings God bestowed on him.
She, however, was more excited about discussing the launch of her formalwear with me while we toured the houses than she was with gushing over the properties we visited.
“This is the last one, right?” I was standing in the hallway giving Oni space to view the main bedroom. It was absolutely stunning because the first floor placement allowed for thirty foot ceilings and an open view of the infinity pool.
Krew locked his arms over his chest and I admired how handsome he was when I turned my eyes on him. Russet colored skin, waves that collectively created a pattern on his head, and his face displayed a mustache and goatee. He was a large man, tall and wide, built like a football player and littered with tattoos. If the very sexy and demanding basketball player I was currently stupid for didn’t have my attention, I could see crushing over Krew Troy.
“Yes, one more. Maybe I should gather a list of other potential houses that meet the metrics you requested.”
He smirked, and well shit, this man was definitely noteworthy. “Nah, we’ll be putting an offer on this one.”
I frowned. “I don’t think she likes it.”
“She does. Oni is stubborn as hell but she’s also an easy read.”
“Maybe for you because I’m not getting anything from her that said she likes this house.”
“The reason she wanted to view this one last is because it’s the first one she fell in love with. I told her we could just see this one and she refused, adding the other three to prove me wrong. This is the one she wants, she’s playing that shit down because it means me being right.”
“I’ll take your word for it.”
