“Yeah?”
“Yeah.” I tapped her lightly on the ass. “What do you want for breakfast?”
“Are you making it?”
“Is that a problem?” I teased. “You made my breakfast so I figured I could return the favor.”
“Then, surprise me.”
“Sounds good.”
I walked over to the fridge and threw it open. I did my best to focus on Novi and be present instead of thinking about the brief conversation I’d had with my dad. I knew he loved me and I understood what he was saying, but Rob wasn’t his only son who didn’t let the dumb shit slide. Somebody had come into my place of business and tried to hoe me. As much as I was his son, I was Rob’s brother too and I was about to show them niggas that it wasn’t just one half of the bloodline that stood on shit when it came down to it.

I leaned over the middle console of Kaleo’s car and he turned his head to catch my mouth with his. We shared three quick pecks before I smiled and sat back in my seat.
We’d had breakfast together then sex on his couch and cuddling. Then, we’d just existed together. I’d washed the dishes since he’d cooked. He started on his laundry. It was nice for us to do domestic labor together.
However, around one, he’d gotten a call from his brother and told me he had to run off but suggested that I maybe go hangout with Allur. I’d reached out to her and she’d told me immediately that we could meet up at the nail shop, get manicures then get a late lunch together.
Even though I adored Kaleo, it was always nice to spend time with my cousin too.
“There your girl right there,” Kaleo nudged his head and I looked over at where Allur was parking.
I waved at her to try to get her attention. She smiled widely when she saw me.
Kaleo popped open his middle console and grabbed a roll of cash. He pulled a few hundreds off and offered them to me. I lifted an eyebrow.
“Get you and Allur’s maintenance done on me.”
“Kaleo-”
He cut me off. “It wasn’t a suggestion, shawty.”
“Oh, yeah?” I cut my eyes at him.
He smirked. “I don’t want to argue with you. Just let me do this. Please.”
I looked him over, trying to see if I could read him and if he genuinely just wanted to pay for me and Allur’s things.
“Are you sure?” I asked.
“Positive.’
I held his gaze while I took the money from him.
“Well, thank you.”
“Thank you,” he countered.
I scoffed. “For what?”
“For showing up when I needed you.”
“Kaleo, whether you pay for my nails or not, I’m still going to show up for you.”
“I know.” Kaleo reached down and started to mess with his keys.
