“I know babe, I’m just making sure. You’ve never really had them alone.”
The car had come to a stop and I turned in his direction to kiss him goodbye. After sloppily kissing my man, I tried to climb out of the car, but he grabbed my arm, stopping me.
“I miss you already man. I don’t like this.”
“I know you don’t Jawan, but its only for a few hours two days a week, work with me okay,” I stroke his cheek with my thumb.
Running his hand down his face, he looked around the campus then back at me. “Okay, keep your detail close and on you at all times, Tiomi. The first time they tell me they don’t see you or some shit is off, I’m coming to drag you out of here.”
Rolling my eyes, I leaned in to kiss him again, “I know, I know. I love y’all and I’ll see y’all in a little bit. Keep that bitch out my kids face, too, Grim.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah remember what I said, and we love you more.”
After that I headed inside the building that I would be spending my next few months in so I could finally graduate. As I walked the hall of the building, I was looking down at the schedule on my phone to see the name of my professor. And because I wasn’t paying attention I ran right into a hard body, dropping everything in my hands.
“My bad little lady, let me help you with that,” I heard a sexy, deep voice say. When I looked up, I was staring into an equally sexy, handsome face. He bent to pick up all of the items that I had dropped and attempted to start a conversation with me before Jawan’s minion stepped in.
“I’ll take that,” Rex said grabbing my class materials from the very sexy stranger.
“I know where the classroom is Mrs. Jones, follow me please.” That was Dirk.
The guy stood off to the side smirking and Rex was looking at him with a deep frown on his face. I adjusted my purse and began to trail behind Dirk. The last thing I needed was for Jawan to come up here and turn these peoples college campus out.
“I’ll see you around shorty,” the mystery man said from behind me.
“Yeah, I doubt it,” Rex responded for me as we walked further away. “Do you want Jawan to come cut the fuck up, Tiomi?”
“I didn’t do anything, Rex. What that man was doing was completely harmless.”
“Yeah, aight.”
I wasn’t in the mood to go back and forth with this nigga. I was a grown woman and could talk to whomever I pleased. Finally making it to my classroom, I took a seat about halfway up. When I first came in Rex and Dirk tried to follow me inside but that wasn’t happening, I definitely planned to talk to Jawan about setting boundaries with them. I know he was all about my safety, but I didn’t want people looking at me crazy for having the secret service following me around. I rolled my eyes just at the thought of that.
“Is it safe to sit here?” I heard the familiar voice from earlier. I looked up into that handsome face and gave him a small smile.It was just my luck and his that all of the seats were taken bedsides the one that was right beside me.
“I mean it doesn’t look like you have much of a choice,” I responded.
“Right. Noah,” he offered with an outstretched hand as he took a seat.
Taking his hand into mine, I introduced myself. “Tiomi.”
He held my hand a little longer than I should have allowed but he was admiring my wedding ring.
“Married? I can’t say I’m surprised. He’s a very lucky man.”
I blushed at the statement because not only was I flattered by his compliment, but Jawan told me all the time how lucky he was to have me. I removed my hand from his because the professor had just made his way into the room, and I welcomed the distraction with a smile on my face.
CHAPTER
TWENTY-ONE
Jawan
The grip on my phone was deadly as I read the message from Rex about whoever this nigga was at Tio’s school. This is exactly what I was talking about when I saw what she had on this morning. They could play with it if they wanted to, it would be some slow singing and flower bringing around this bitch about mine. Jalae started to stir in my arms, which is what brought me out of my thoughts. When I looked down, she was looking up at me with the same eyes that matched her mother and sister.
“Your mommy’s not going to be satisfied ‘til I fuck her up baby girl.”
She just stared at me with an expression on her face like she was saying yeah right. My girls wanna be daddy’s girls when they want something but be looking at me sideways when it comes to they ugly ass mama.
