"It's almost nine," she stated smoothly.
He smirked at the implication in her voice. Did he want to fuck? Hell yeah, but he wouldn't try tonight. He wanted to see what she was about. Last night had only been a layer of who she was. He needed more.
"I just want to talk."
"Then we can meet in public," she countered.
"I don't do public unless I have to. Did I disrespect you last night or was I a man of my word?"
"That was last night."
"Yes or no, Samari?"
"Yes."
"Then I give you my word that all I want to do is talk. So can I get that?" he asked bluntly.
She was quiet and he expected her to shut him down but she agreed and he was smiling again, looking goofy as shit.
"What's your address?"
He thought about something then asked, "You driving?"
"Yes, why?"
"You weren't last night. I didn't want to assume."
"We were drinking. Neither of us needed to drive."
"Yeah that's smart but I'm about to text you my address. You eat?"
"Yes, did you?"
"Nah, I was gonna pick up something. Maybe Carver’s."
"I can get it on my way. Send me what you want." He smiled at the offer. Some shit Tori would have never done. She would have expected him to have food waiting for her when she arrived. He would have, because he was a considerate man, but to know Samari thought about him, felt different. He still gave her an out.
"You don't have to do that."
"I don't mind. Send me what you want when you send your address. I'll be on my way as soon as you do."
"Aight bet."
A traffic light caught him so he sent his address and order along with a CashMe transfer for fifty dollars, locked his phone, then hit a left to head to the crib. He had been out all day and wanted to shower and get comfortable before she got there. Asao planned on getting her into his studio to record some shit if she was willing. Hopefully she would be because his mind was already spinning something dope that would work for both of them.
