He hung up and offered the phone to me.
“What the fuck, Kaleo?” I snatched my phone from his hand.
“If that man broke up with you and he’s calling to clock your moves, it’s a test. He’s trying to see how far he can push and if he still has access to you. Don’t let him have it.” He nudged his head to the entrance. “Come on.”
“You’re serious?” I asked.
“I did it. Didn’t I?” He smirked. “I mean, I think you should lock in and post something crazy to make him cry in a corner, but do what works for you, shawty.”
I paused and shifted on my feet.
“Post something like what?”
“You think he stalks your page?”
“Well he just called me because of something I posted so probably.”
“Cool.” Kaleo pulled his phone out, tapped a few things then offered it to me. “Seach yourself up.”
I typed my name in on social media and handed it back. He followed my page. I followed his back.
“Alright.”
“Now just sit pretty and chill, shawty.”
“Okay.” I gave him a look. “Why do you even care about my issues with my ex?” I asked.
“I can’t stand men that do that stupid shit to women. I watched my mom go through hell with bitch made ass niggas that act like that. Any opportunity I have to piss a weak ass nigga off, I’m taking.” He shrugged. “And if your ex steps to me, I’m going to flip him on his neck.”
I laughed in shock and my hands flew up to cover my mouth while I tried to stop myself. Kaleo grinned.
“Well thank you for helping me put my foot down and for intervening before I got roped in again.”
“No problem.” He smirked. “Come on. Let’s go in.”
“Okay.”
I looked down at my phone when it vibrated and declined Donald’s call, blocked his number and slid my phone in my pocket.
Kaleo slipped his hand into mine. He let me lead him to Allur, JV and their friends. I dropped it as soon as they werein our sight. I sat back where I’d been before and Kaleo did the rounds. He hugged and dapped up everyone then walked over and sat on the couch across from me. I opened my book again.
“You’re not playing?” he asked after a moment.
“Nope. You’re not playing?”
“Nah. I’m just here to chill for real.” Kaleo leaned back and threw an arm behind the seat.
I nodded at that. “I felt that. Me too.”
Kaleo waved over one of the workers that was walking by and ordered a beer. Then, he checked his phone and grinned.
“What’s your ex’s name?”
“Donald?” I locked my phone and looked at him. “Why?”
“He just followed me.” Kaleo lifted his phone. “Smile.”
“What?” I scoffed.
