“I didn’t expect you to beat me here,” I spotted him towards the back of the restaurant. We both agreed to find a table away from the bathrooms and front entrance. It just kept us both fromdealing with confrontation. Capone was laid back in real life. He didn’t fight or argue with no one about anything.
“I figured I would pick the table to take the tension off you. I know this is a little out of the norm for your ass.” He looked so good. To be almost ten years my senior, he didn’t look like it.
“I’m a bit nervous.”
“I’m just glad you said yes. All of them FaceTime calls and text messages was getting old. You know I like spending time with you when you cut my hair. My main question is what you doing with your baby daddy? Are y’all together, plan on getting back together or what?”
“We taking care of our son and that’s it.”
“I’m asking ‘cause I don’t wanna beat his ass ‘bout no dumb shit. You know I don’t argue and shit. I’ll quit fuckin’ with you first. That’s why me and my baby mama couldn’t work out. She was fuckin’ with me and another nigga. I told her ass to go to that nigga. She ran to his ass and we share custody of my daughter. I like my life simple as fuck.”
“I’ll try my best to keep all my problems away from you. Now I said I was going to try but I know how my baby daddy can be. If we got to stop kicking it, then I’m cool with that.”
“I don’t want that to be the case so let’s enjoy this while we can. How are you enjoying being a mama again? I’m glad to see you out of that depression you were in. You damn near made me want to give you a baby just so you could take you mind off the death of your son.”
“That’s funny. I love my son so much. He’s spoiled but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I just took him off breast milk since I’m ready to go back to work. His daddy hates it but he doesn’t have to have a baby constantly attached to him.”
“I’m with him with that one. Let him have it as long as you can. His ass will be healthier than most children. Consider letting him go up until the age of one.”
“What about your daughter?”
“Shit, what about her. All she does is spend all my money and have her face in her phone. Your time coming just wait,” we shared a laugh.
The waitress came and took our drink and food order. I ordered first and then checked my ringing phone while he ordered. I hit the ignore button and turned my phone on vibrate before sticking it back in my purse.
“You need to answer?”
“No, he can leave a voicemail.”
“I would hate to be your baby daddy right now. You the real savage ‘round this bitch.”
He got up from his side of the booth and slid in on my side. My pussy tingled as his skin brushed against my arm. I wasn’t sure why he turned me on so much. Lucky did the same thing to me. This shit with Capone had everything to do with the thrill of having a nigga want me besides Lucky. One that I didn’t have to worry about Lucky pushing away.
“If you only knew how long I been trying to get this close to you without you cutting my hair. All of them hundreds I would stick down in them titties paid off.”
His teeth were perfect, his breath was fresh, and his skin was clear. Where the hell this nigga come from, heaven? I looked down at his nails and noticed how clean they were. Was I turned on by him because he was just like Lucky? Lucky kept his nails clean as well. Nothing like a clean man.
“I can’t be bought,” I looked in his eyes.
“Not trying to buy you just some of your time outside of business. What you plan on doing now without out the shop?”
“I got a suite I just signed the lease for. It’s a little more private and I’ll only be able to take one client at a time until my insurance comes through.”
“Man, take that shit out of the hood. Fuck that riding for the hood shit. If they want you, they’ll travel to you. Take it somewhere that you know they gon’ call the police if something pops off.”
“I was thinking the same thing but until then, I’ll be in a small as space.”
“If you need anything, you know I’m here.” He ran his finger down the side of my face and lifted my chin to kiss me softly on my lips.
The waitress brought our food before I could react or respond to what he had just done. I could feel my phone constantly going off in my purse but all I wanted to focus on was the man sitting next to me giving me his full attention. He hadn’t pulled his phone out not one time. Everything was about me first and he listened. Who the fuck had time to argue with their baby daddy when a nigga this fine was sitting next to me?
“We can easily run up in that bitch and snatch her ass the fuck out,” Perc handed me the blunt back.
“Nah, they’ll get our ass for kidnapping for sho.” I put the phone back to my ear to see if she would answer.
Since my money and drugs went missing, I put a tracker on both of her cars. Blessyn lied and told me she was going to her mama house to chill and wait for Merci to get home. She lied which let me know she lied about stealing from me too. As far as I knew, Capone wasn’t in the dope game so who the fuck did she give my shit to? I sat behind my tint and watched them through the restaurant window.
The nigga had the same look in his eyes that I did when I was around Blessyn. She was something special, but I was starting to see another side of her. Perc was already on go but I wouldn’tlet him. Capone wasn’t my enemy right now. I couldn’t knock a nigga that wanted to be with Blessyn, she was the shit. I fucked a bitch while we were on break so if she wanted to get her pussy busted by another nigga, I gotta take that. My issue was my goddamn dope and money. I gave her every opportunity to tell me the truth and I still felt like she lied.
