And even crazier that I asked her to stay.
Nobody stayed at my place, not even Jami, and we had a baby together.
“I heard you on the phone,” she revealed. “Just in case you need to leave, I’ll already be ready.”
“Who said I’m leaving?”
She shimmied into her pants. “Areyou leaving?” She stopped, waiting for an answer.
I didn’t have to. But the likelihood that I would was more probable than not.
“Yeah.”
“See.”
She fastened the top button and passed me to cross the room. I reached for her waist, pulling her close. She fell into me. “What are you doing today?”
“Besides getting some sleep?” Her lips twisted to the side. “I don’t know yet.”
I eased her down onto my lap. “When you figure it out, make sure it includes time with me. I wanna see you.”
“Willyouhave time?” she challenged.
“I’ll make time.” She looked away and I guided her chin back to face me. “I’m serious. I wanna see you.”
I kissed her when her lips separated to speak. She was taken aback for a minute but fell into line, pushing her lips into mine. She allowed my tongue to explore every crevice of her mouth as she closed her eyes and moaned lowly.
I didn’t want to stop, but I knew I had to. Otherwise, I’d be trying to fuck her on her period.
I pulled away, placing a string of small kisses on her soft lips.
“Are you gonna make time for me?” I asked.
Smiling, she agreed. “Yeah, I’ll make time for you.”
She left about ten minutes later. I followed her, making sure she made it home safely since we were headed to the same building. I walked her to her apartment after noticing surveillance staking out the place. And since I wasn’t privy to who was participating in the operation, I didn’t want to take any chances.
But Tre needed to be warned.
If he had anything, he needed to get it out ASAP and only had a small window to do so.
“Look who finally decided to come home,” Lanique said when Sage walked through the door. “Where you been—” she started, ending abruptly when she saw me. “Hey, Keyoni. What are you doing here?”
“Is Cauvey here?”
I didn’t have time for small talk.
“Yeah, he’s in the room.”
They had the exact same layout as Jami, so I had no problem finding the master bedroom. Cauvey was in the bed, laid out watching TV when I walked in.
“What the fuck?!” he jumped up in his boxers and I turned the other way.
“They ’bout to search Tre’s apartment,” I said to the door, choosing not to turn around to see Cauvey half-dressed.
“What?!” I heard scrambling behind me.
“Yeah, I just found out.”
