“It’s all about the flick of the wrist. Come here.” He grabbed one of the balls that slid toward her and placed it in her hand.
A spark from his touch went through her. Heavy felt it too when he came up behind her. She also smelled good as hell, sending the blood right to his dick when he inhaled the cashmere scent blended with her vanilla body butter. The heat between them was mutual, leaving Giselle with a racing pulse as he grabbed her arms and helped her position them for the perfectshot. When the ball slipped from her hands and into the basket, she turned to Heavy with wide eyes.
“Oh, my God. I made it!”
He laughed and shook his head.
“Let me try again.” She picked up another ball and did the same thing, and it went through. “Check me out.” She snapped her fingers and did a little dance.
She ended up winning a small stuffed parrot that she clung to as they grabbed a slice of pizza from a nearby stand and slowly strolled back toward their group.
“Surprisingly, today was a good day.” Giselle took a bite of her pizza. “Thank you.”
Heavy stared ahead as they neared their group. It was almost four in the afternoon, and they’d all spent the last five hours on every ride, playing every game, and buying something to eat from nearly every vendor.
“For what?”
“For the effort.” Giselle paused and faced him. “I know I didn’t make this easy on any of us, and I know you’re not good with how I went about things?—”
“I could spend my days trying to find ways to punish you, princess… take you to court, sue for custody, all that,” Heavy insinuated. “But what good does that do our seeds? You’re their mother, and they love you to death. You’re their whole world.”
“And they’re mine,” she admitted, blinking away tears. “I think we should talk to them, about us. Who you are to them. I want them to know you aren’t just some man showing up for them. You’re their father, and you deserve to claim that, claim them.”
“I’m glad you can finally acknowledge that.” He nodded and took another bite of his pizza. “I ain’t putting no pressure on it, though, because I want to get to know them and they get to know me. That’s all that matters.”
“What’s up? What’s the play?” Viggo asked.
Pierre swung off his back like a little monkey while Prischa and Henna remained seated on a bench side by side when Heavy and Giselle approached.
“Taking the kids home.” Heavy finished his pizza.
“Why don’t we all meet up at the club tonight? I got an infused drink special I am dying for you to try.” Maisie clapped her hands happily.
“You and your specials always end up putting us on our ass, Mais.” Lou tittered. “But I’m down!” She clapped twice and bent over to slap her ass cheeks together in a twerk and stick her tongue out.
“Count me out.” Giselle chewed on another bite of pizza, and Heir held his hand up.
“Mama, I want some.”
“Heir, you been eating all day!” She sucked her teeth. “This is my pizza.”
“And I want some.” He made the motion for ‘more’ with his hands in sign language.
“Ugh, I swear, y’all went from taking all my breast milk to stealing my food!” She took one last bite and gave him the rest.
“See, you need a break,” Maisie spoke up. “Mama can watch them for the night while we go out. You can go home, take a nap, and meet us at the club around nine. I really want you to see my spot.” Maisie pleaded like a little kid.
“Fine. I don’t have nothing to wear, though. I sold most of my shit when I moved here. All I got is loungewear and?—”
“Save it.” Lou held up a hand. “I’ll go home and search the closet, and me and Gem will come over to get you ready since you acting brand new.”
“I just haven’t been out in a while. It was usually business events with a bunch of suits.”
“Even more reason for a turn up, G.” Crew slung his arm over her shoulders. “You know you want to. Girl the way you move it, got me in a trance…” He started the Wocka Flocka verse to “No Hands” with his hand in the air, moving to the beat.
Maisie smiled with Lou and chimed in. “DJ turn me up, ladies this yo’ chance!” they sang.
“I’mma sip Moscato, and you gon’ lose them pants, then I’ma throw this money while you…” Crew rapped.
