“Yo, yo, yo!” JV walked out of the back, a hand in Allur’s and smiles on both their faces.
“Y’all ready to shut down?” Kaleo hopped to his feet and JV nodded.
“Yep. Let’s do it.”
“Alright.”
“Well, I’ll let y’all do that.” Allur tiptoed to plant a kiss to the side of JV’s head. “Maybe we’ll see you later tonight, Kaleo.”
“Maybe.” He gave her a small smile. “I’ll see how I feel.”
“Yeah, okay.” She rolled her eyes. “You need to get out more.”
“You and JV are two nosy ass peas in the pod.” Kaleo flicked Allur in the arm and she snickered.
“Whatver. I’ll see you there.”
“Maybe.” He gave Allur a look.
She waved him off.
“Come on, girl,” she said as she walked toward the door.
“It was nice meeting you guys.” I slipped out of the chair.
“Nice meeting you,” the men echoed.
Allur damn near floated out the door. Whatever she and JV had done in the back room had changed her entire disposition. I was happy for her honestly. She deserved it.
We climbed in her car together and Allur glanced at me as she merged on the street.
“So, JV and some of the guys wanted to go to Topgolf tonight. You want to go?”
“JV and some of the guys?” I repeated.
“Just two of the other barbers, his brother and Kaleo.”
“Kaleo sounded like he wasn’t sold on going.”
“And you believed him? Girl please.” Allur giggled. “That man loves to be around the foolishness. He just likes to act like he’s above it all. He’ll be there, looking like a hostage and people watching. Trust me.”
“Okay.” I nodded at that.
Allur knew him much more than I knew him so I was going to trust her judgment on this easily.
“Is that your way of saying you want to hangout with Kaleo some more?” she asked then nodded. “I could see that being a good fit. You just came out of a long term relationship and you’re just out here for the summer and having fun. I couldn’t tell you the last time Kaleo had a long term relationship. I think if y’all want to just have fun, it could work out for both of you. You could get over ole boy and Kaleo won’t get crazy and possessive or whatever. It could be cute.”
“Girl, I am not rushing to hop in bed with any other man right now.”
“I don’t blame you,” Allur shrugged, “But, I’m just saying, I could see it.”
“Let’s just see how tonight goes, alright?”
“Oh. So, you’re coming?”
“Yeah, Allur, I’m coming.”
“Good.”
