As soon as I dialed Nash’s number, he didn’t give the phone a chance to ring fully.
“You got the job, huh?”
I giggled. “Yes! I got it!”
“That’s my girl. I told you that would happen. Now, come on home. I’ve got a steak with red potatoes waiting for you with asalad. You already know we have to celebrate with a bottle of wine too.”
The thoughtfulness of this man was out of this world. How in the hell did I end up so lucky to have a man like him? “You’re too good to me.”
“That’s the way it should be. Now come to me.”
I beamed with tears in my eyes. “I’m on the way.”
After I hung up the phone with Nash, I wasted no time getting home.
“Thank you, God!”
I smiledas I keyed in my reports of the patients I saw today. Since I started working at TYP, I have loved every minute. The staff was a great group of people, and I felt like I belonged there. It was two days before Christmas, and we had a half day. Although I loved working here, I was ready to be off already. I was ready to spend time with the love of my life. Nash hadn’t let me know what he had planned, but I was down for whatever.
My cell phone rang as I wrapped up the reports. I pulled it out of my lab coat and eyed the name on the screen. With a smile, I answered it.
“Hey, Dalesha. Wassup?”
“Hey, sis! If you’re not busy, I wanted to see if you wanted to go to a party with me later. My sister and Am’Marie will be there too.”
I frowned, wondering if Nash would be there too. This would be my first time hanging out with his sisters. I wouldn’t turn that down.
“Okay, I’m down. Do they have a dress code?”
“Yes. Dress formally.”
“Okay. Thanks for inviting me. What time should I be ready?”
She gave me everything I needed to know. I didn’t know why I was so excited about this, but I was. I couldn’t wait to get on the phone to call my man to tell him.
“Thanks, sis. Talk to you soon.”
Thirty minutes later, I walked out of work with my phone pressed to my ear.
“Wassup, baby? How was work?” Nash asked with a yawn.
I hit the key fob to unlock my door. “It was great. How’s work going for you?”
“It’s going. I have to go to a meeting with my dad soon.”
I got in my car and closed the door behind me. “Oh? I have something to tell you. It’s exciting news too.”
“Oh yeah? What’s the news?”
I started the car and backed out of the parking spot. “Your sister invited me to a party later. It’s formal. I’ll send pictures of the dress after I get dressed.”
“Oh, word? Have fun. If I don’t get home in time to see you off, I can’t wait to get the pictures. I already know you’ll be looking damn good in it too.”
I grinned. “You’re too good for my ego.”
Nash laughed. “As I should be. See you soon. I love you.”
I smiled with all the happiness I had in my heart. “I love you too, Nash.”
