“Huh-”
“Seems suspicious to me.”Nyx said.“If she can, huh, she can hear.”
Clearly there was something she wasn’t trying to tell us.
“Okay, I’m sure my cousins are bringing their best friend Alestar with them.”
“Okay.”
“Well, I’ve had it bad for Alestar since I was twelve, but he won’t give me the time of day. I’m not sure if he’s just not interested or if it’s because of my overprotective cousins and their stupid ass bro code.”
“Told you. Suspicious”
“So, you are being insecure? I don’t get it, you're beautiful.” I said, worried that Char didn’t see how wonderful she was. Any man should be honored to be with her.
“That's why I love you bitch. You will always remind me who I am.” She got up and pulled me into a tight hug before we headed to the door hand in hand.
“Okay one more thing. My cousins are a different breed. I don’t know what it is, but these niggas make bitches go crazy. Women constantly throw themselves at them, and in Aren’s case men too.”
“What?”
“Girl, yes, that nigga got a boyfriend and a girlfriend. It’s ridiculous how these hoes are throwing themselves at them. Alestar is the same, so I guess that’s why he has never noticed me. From what I’ve seen of the women on his roster, I’m definitely not his type but I still can’t help how he makes me feel.” She said with a sad look.
“You bitches need to get it together. Do I have to remind her that y'all are always the baddest bitches in the room.”
“Nyx said, to remind you that we are always the baddest bitches in the room.”
“She’s right, we are.” She said, perking up.
The closer we got to the kitchen the louder it got. When we came down the stairs, I was standing face to face with three of the finest men I had ever seen in my life.
All of them were at least six feet four inches tall, with muscles and tattoos everywhere. The two whom I assumed were Gunner and Aren had honey-colored eyes, while Alestar, the one staring at Char with nothing but desire, had a sexy pair of gray ones. He clearly was loving the black jumpsuit she had on under her fluffy white Shacket and black ankle boots. Yeah, my bestie was a baddie.
“Damn, who made these niggas, and can I order one on amazon?”
“No, Nyx, that's not what we’re here for. Now get yourself together the last thing we need is another crazy ass nigga. I don’t even like sex remember.”I told her, remembering my horrible experiences with Taye. But looking at these three made me want to rethink that assessment.
We walked into the kitchen and Ma ushered us all to the dining room. We all sat at the dining room table that had been loaded with the food Ma prepared. Somehow, I got seated next to the finest of the three men. At least he was in my opinion.As Ma blessed the food I couldn’t help but sneak peaks at the man seated right next to me. We looked like he could eat me alive literally and figuratively. After grace, Ma started with the introductions.
“Baby these are my grandsons Aren, Gunner and their best friend Alestar.” I nodded to everyone.
“Nice meeting you," they all said with a smile. Aren and Alestar spoke while Gunner gave me a head nod and a quizzical stare.
“Guys this is my friend Pepper. She'll be staying with us for a while.” Char explained.
Everyone was all smiles and enjoyed some playful banter back and forth except Gunner. He seemed to be super intense and maybe a little bit scary. I tried to keep my direct eye contact to a minimum as I piled food on my plate like I hadn’t eaten in months. Everyone else was doing the same so I didn’t feel too bad. Reaching out for a roll my hand collided with Gunners, and he gave me another intense stare, like he was looking directly into my soul. I froze, getting hypnotized by his icy gaze, until he grunted and passed me the roll.
“Did he just grunt at us like he was a caveman? Ooh, I like him.”
When I looked over at him the light bounced off his eyes causing them to sparkle and my panties to flood.
“See, you like him too.”Nyx giggled.
This man was fine as fuck, not to mention his scent was making me fucking dizzy. He smelled like a night in front of the fire like cedar and cinnamon with a hint of vanilla. It was masculine but nice. He had smooth flawless dark brown skin, dimples, long lashes, and a sexy nose ring. He had his hair cut short with a crisp line up, but you could still see the thick curls that adorned the top of his head. A full beard accented hischiseled jaw and his lips looked so fucking soft. I wanted to lean over and kiss them to see for myself.
“I would love to climb his big ass like a tree.”
“Nyx, please shut up.” I hissed, trying to seem like I was clearing my throat instead of having a conversation with myself. But she was right, I didn’t even know I liked men with piercings. I hurriedly pulled my hand back and looked down at my plate.
