“What the hell does that even mean?” she asked.
“You know what the fuck it means.”
“No, I don’t, and at this point, I don’t even care.” She reached for Ocean’s arm. “Let’s just go.”
“I’ll move when this nigga moves.”
Ocean wasn’t playing, and I loved every second of it.
Finally realizing what was good for him, Mecca swallowed whatever pride he had left, cleared his throat, and walked off.
I stood still, my breath lodged in my throat, wondering if this would finally be the end of things.
Once Mecca made it to a table on the other side of the restaurant, Ocean slid his hand into Skye’s and pulled her out of the building. I didn’t want to romanticize the situation since I was fully aware of the kind of man Ocean was with women, but his actions were very reminiscent of the kind of shit you see in the movies.
We followed them outside, and I leaned toward Shade. “Does he act like this with every new woman he meets?”
“Shit, I’ve never seen him act like this for any woman other than Jassi. But, he also doesn’t have much patience when it comes to seeing a man disrespect a woman.”
“I’m sorry, what? Isn’t this the same guy that fucks on any woman with a pretty face, and several at the same time?”
“Yeah, but that’s just sex. He would never do anything close to what Mecca has done to Skye. Just like me, he’s honest about what it is and what it isn’t.”
I tilted my head to the side. “Just like you, huh?”
“Yep, just like me.”
He licked his lips, and my insides tingled. I wanted to kiss him.
“Don’t stare at me like that, Nyx.”
“Why not?”
“Because I know what that look means, and we’re on some other shit now.”
I took a deep breath, his cologne consuming my space. A memory flashed through my mind of the day he slammed me against the massage table and shoved his dick in me from behind. “You know, I think about us all the time.”
“Yeah, so do I.”
“What do you think about?” I stepped forward, desperate to hear something similar to the flashback that had just replayed in my head.
He kissed my forehead. “Nothing that I’m willing to repeat in this parking lot.”
“It’s that nasty, huh?”
“Yep,that nasty,” he replied with a smirk.
“You sure you don’t want to share just a little bit?”
“I’m positive.”
Ocean strolled over to us, his hands in his pockets. “I’m going to take Skye home.”
Shade’s eyebrow lifted. “Oh, really?”
“Relax, it’s nothing like that. I just want to make sure she gets home without any problems.” He smirked. “Besides, it looks like you two need some alone time.”
“No, we definitely don’t,” I chimed in. “I’m going to take my ass home before I talk myself into doing the opposite of what I’m supposed to be doing.” I took another look at Skye. “Are you sure you’re cool with him taking you home?”
