“I love your natural hair.” He tucked a loose stand of hair behind my ear, then placed a kiss on my forehead. “I’m gone grab the extra clothes Relli placed outside the door so we can head to my house and finish this conversation.”
His house? I couldn’t believe he even offered to spend the rest of the night with me since he came here with a chick.
“What about your little friend you brought with you, King? As a matter of fact, we should’ve never done this… how is it that you mess up my date? Yet, yours is still here.”
“You can’t do what I do Layloni… stop with the childish games.” He frowned.
“CHILDISH GAMES? Nigga, please.” I rolled my eyes hard.
“You worried bout a bitch when all I smell is you all over my fuckin face. Stop acting like a lil ass girl and get ready to dip the fuck out of here.” King glared at me.
“Look King--”
“Check this shit out Layloni,” He pulled me up against him. “I like you a lot, ok? You really testing my fucking patience. If I didn’t like or care for you a little, then I wouldn’t have dragged your simple acting ass in here, I would have dismissed your attention seeking ass… yea, attention seeking… you wanted to test the waters tonight and see what I would do if I caught you kissing that lame ass nigga that didn’t even make an attempt to save you from the big bad wolf! If you were any other broad I fuck with, I would have just deleted you out of memory! Now, get yourself together and do the walk of shame. You don’t have time to say hi to Rellianah either because I still gotta break down the terms and conditions to yo childish acting ass.”
He had me stunned. So I decided to say absolutely nothing.
“You’re trouble Layloni… real trouble baby. I don’t know what it is about you that seems to keep pulling me your way, but it’s trouble.”
“So you say…”
He chuckled lowly at my words, then snatched the bathroom door open.
Chapter 17
King
Istood over Layloni watching her sleep in satisfaction. She was in my bed, in my home, and it felt like this is where she belonged.
When I saw her with Monty, Rellianah gave me several warning glares. Then I saw her lips on his and her arms around his neck like she belonged to him. That shit sent me way over edge. My heart was beating fast and hard; it felt like she punched me hard in the gut. I pulled my gun out, causing the group I was surrounded by eyes to go wide. Rellianah was the only one with a devilish look on her face as she flagged her guards down to put their guns away.
“Wrong move King, this is my house,” She gritted. “Put the gun away before you get yourself killed. Go get your woman and stop acting stupid,”was all Rellianah uttered.
I didn’t need her to tell me what it was I had already planned on doing. For a month straight, I kept different women in rotation just to force Layloni out of my mental. Still, all of those women hadn’t succeeded, I thought about her ass every day. I thought about how her beautiful brown skin glistened when the sun hit it. Her button nose, those chubby cheeks and that one dimple that sunk deep whenever she smiled softly. I appreciatedevery single curve she had. The smell of her hair, the way she carried herself with class.
Layloni didn’t have to be draped in designer to look good. She shined bright, even when she was having rough times. What pulled me more into her was after being treated fucked up by her mom and that lame ass nigga Glen. She overcame that shit and became a boss of her own.
She had my number but refused to call or bug me. I knew she liked me and wondered who I truly was, but she didn’t press me. She pulled conversation out of me without me even realizing it. She made a nigga feel good just by being in the same space as her.
I was so deep into analyzing my thoughts, I didn’t realize my mom was standing there with rollers in her hair and a coffee cup in her hand. Leave it up to her ass to be drinking coffee at one in the morning. I was happy to finally have my mom out here with me safe and secure.
She cooked almost every day and was super happy that she had found a kingdom hall close to my house. Mom’s only been here for a couple of weeks and made friends. She started a garden in the front yard; and in my backyard, she started growing vegetables. I already planned on getting her a house of her own. Right now, I enjoyed her fixing this house to her liking. This was my favorite house. It was the first house I bought two years ago when I had first came to Cali. I had two houses out here and one loft in Downtown LA. This house was a four-bedroom, two bath upstairs and downstairs.
“She gots to be real special, for you to bring her here. I’m so happy baby.” My mom smile was graceful.
She placed her warm arms around me and kissed me on the forehead. I nodded my head, there was no point in me even trying to deny it because I discovered that Layloni was indeedspecial.My mom backed out of the room and shut the door behind her asI eased back in bed with Loni.
When I woke up, I panicked; Layloni wasn’t in the bed next to me. I looked around my room and saw no signs of her. Disappointment hit me. I didn’t expect her to just dip without saying shit. I fell asleep at two o’ clock in the morning. I checked my phone and it was currently 9:30 a.m.
I slid out the bed, stretched, then went in the bathroom to handle my hygiene. When I made it to my kitchen, I overheard my mom laughing and saying something that I couldn’t make out. I entered the kitchen, instantly relieved to see that mom’s was talking to Layloni. I couldn’t take my eyes off how snug my boxers fit on her. I loved the sight of Layloni standing barefoot in my kitchen helping my momma cook breakfast.
My mom cleared her throat as she stirred the eggs in a bowl, adding seasoning to it. Layloni turned around and smiled at me. My chest tightened as I chucked my head in her direction, trying to play shit cool when I was elated as hell to see her. I always reminded her to breathe; this time, I needed her to remind me. She took my fucking breath away, and I didn’t give a fuck that I was standing here in front of her probably looking lame as hell, crushing hard on her.
“Good morning sleepy head.” Layloni cooed.
She winked, then turned back around flipping the pancakes. It smelled like heaven in here. I didn’t know how to feel right now. This was new for me; I never let a female meet my mom. I made a mental note to remind Layloni of some newer terms and conditions. Shit, there was no way out for her fine ass now. Meeting mom’s took it up a whole nother notch for me.
The way they moved around the kitchen and laughed together was like they had known each other for years. My mom seemed to love her company, so did I.
