"Why not live out here then?"
"You don't like my apartment?"
"Umm… you mean your fuck pad? No. Shit, I sat on the sofa and at the kitchen table." She frowned like she was processing what might have happened on both and she wouldn't be far off based on how I knew her mind worked.
"Chill, man. It's not a fuck pad. It's just easier for me to live in the city and it's only me. I don't need eight bedrooms."
"Then why buy it?" She paused and grilled me hard. "And if your answer involves another woman, then I suggest you lie."
I laughed hard as hell. "You would rather me lie than tell you about something that is in my past and no longer relevant?"
"We had sex less than twenty-four hours ago. I absolutely want you to lie."
I grinned and stepped in front of her when we stopped in front of the cushioned area that housed swings and a massive play area for toddlers. I wanted a place where we could chill andnot have to worry about being seen and this was the first place that came to mind. Which was another fucking problem.
"That was just sex though, right?" I asked, knowing it wasn't, but Makari's stubborn ass was going to act like she wasn't feeling me the same way I was feeling her. "Because if it's not, let me know what's up. You seem real pressed about my past for somebody who doesn’t really fuck with me."
"I'm not pressed about your past, I'm conscious about mine and Avi's future. If you recall, you made it very clear that we weren't entertaining other people unless it's cleared first."
I walked Avi to the padded infant swings and placed her in one. "Nah, you have problems processing shit. I said you weren't going to be entertaining anyone. That rule doesn't apply to me."
She narrowed her eyes then stepped in front of me. "I hope like hell you're still partially drunk or high from last night and that's why you're talking crazy. Because what you can do, I can do, so if I'm not allowed to entertain anyone then neither are you."
"The only person you'll be entertaining is our daughter."
And me…
Especially after last night with me being in that pussy again. There was no way in hell I was letting her hop on anybody's dick but mine.
"Then I guess that means we're both focused on raising our daughter."
She smiled smugly and tilted her head back. "There's a heater up there."
"Yeah and the mats are heated and them shits are heaters too." I pointed to the colorful squares surrounding the area we were in. The details about the park were on their site when I looked it up.
"This is very privileged living." Makari shook her head and laughed before turning to Avi and gently pushing her swing.Each time she went back Avi squealed and when she came forward she opened her hands in grabbing motions, reaching for her mother. "What do you think, Avi? You like this bougie ass lifestyle your daddy is giving you? I think we could get used to this. Ask your daddy if he'll buy us a house out here so Mommy can bring you to this park."
"Why the hell would I buy you a house when I have one?"
"Becauseyouhave one, we don't."
"You know how much these shits cost?"
"Nope, but I know whatever that number is, you can afford it."
I could…
"Stop counting my fucking pockets," I teased, then added, "But the point is, I already own a property out here, there's no need to give these damn people any more of my money."
"There is unless you want me and Avi living with you."
"If that means I don't have to come out of my pocket, then I can live with that."
She turned to me and rolled her eyes and I chuckled, removing my phone. It had been blowing up since I turned it back on vibrate after we left the theatre.
I moved past all the texts and opened the thread from Ryland.
Land: Yo, where the fuck you at? Been calling you since last night.
