Page 32 of When Love Becomes A Need
I rolled my eyes. The last few times Kevin and I were supposed to meet up, he stood me up. Our little arrangement was starting to become draining. I wanted consistent dick with no complications, just like Drake said; he had too many issues for me.
“Because I think this arrangement needs to end, Kevin.”
“What? Why?”
“You’ve stood me up the last three times we were supposed to meet up. I don’t have time for whatever you and your wife have going on. So, it’s better to take myself out of the equation.”
Kevin released an annoyed breath, but I didn’t care.
“Fatima, baby, I know I’ve been dropping the ball. Shit’s just been crazy between the gym and my wife, but I promise I miss you. I don’t want this to end.” I did a hard eye roll.
Kevin was sounding too invested in this.
“Kevin—"
“Let me take you out.” I frowned.
“What?”
“Let me take you out. Tomorrow night. I take you out and then end the night between your legs, just me and you.”
“What about your wife, Kevin?”
“She’s going out of town, so we’re good. Please, baby. I miss you and I want to make it up to you.”
Licking my lips, I thought about it. I know I should say no and end whatever this was with Kevin right here, but I was backed up at the same time. I hadn’t had sex in almost a month.
“Okay, Kevin, but after tomorrow we need to end this. You’re getting too invested.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow. I’ll text you the details,” he said, ending the call, ignoring my words.
Shaking my head, I put my phone back into my vest pocket.
Turning around, I went back into my mom’s house. Voices were coming from the living room, so I assumed that’s where everyone went.
“Everything okay?” My mom asked when I took a seat next to her.
I nodded. “Yeah, everything’s good.”
We all stayed at my mom’s house for a few hours. Johnny had come home, and he was happy to see me, and the feeling was mutual. When my mom first introduced Johnny, I wasn’t feeling him. I didn’t want to see my mom hurt again, but he eventually grew on me. Once I saw how happy he made my mom, I couldn’t help but love him too.
Isabella and I ended up leaving to head back home. We lived about an hour from our parents.
“It’s always nice going to see them,” Isabella spoke, pulling up to my house.
I agreed. “Yeah, it is. We have to go more often.”
“For sure.” I got out of the car and waved goodbye to her.
Looking over to Autumn’s house, I noticed her empty driveway, showing she wasn’t there. More than likely, she was at her boutique. I made a mental note to get with her to get the details on this photoshoot she wanted to do.

Istepped into the restaurant to put in a to-go order before going home. I had been tatting all day and had only been snacking, so I was hungry as hell.
The hostess asked me to hang out while she handled some issues with another customer. I went into my pocket and pulled out my work phone to review my calendar for tomorrow. Looked like I had a full schedule again, but thankfully my first appointment wasn’t until one.
