“You know me, Kabria. Don’t even waste your breath.”
“I know, but you’re going to have to give someone else a chance eventually.”
“I know, and I will. It just won’t be with a man who I know will take me above, beneath, and through the damn wringer.” I giggled. “He’s fine and all, but I’ll pass.”
Calling Makhai fine was an understatement actually. The man was a god. His chocolate skin was littered with tattoos. He had waves circling his head that could make you seasick if you looked for too long and I could have passed out when he smiled. He had the straightest and whitest teeth that I’d seen. When I’d see him on T.V. or the internet, he always had his grill in, but at Heat, it was just his pearly whites. He dressed nice and smelled wonderful too. Then the way he had me clenching my thighs together when I heard his voice; he was just a recipe for heartbreak and disaster.
“He’s single, so he acts accordingly. He may be different in a relationship.”
“Maybe, but we won’t be finding out from an experience with me.” I chuckled.
“So, you didn’t let him buy you breakfast?”
“Of course I did. I gave him my cash app.”
“See, I’m raising you right.”
We talked a little more about Makhai and her night with Hulk before I had to go. The babies would be getting up soon, so I needed to prepare for activity time.
The day flew by after that. We did our activity then I let them go out and play for a while. It was pretty out, so they got an extra twenty minutes before we went back inside for a light snack,cleanup time, then a movie. By the time it went off, it was time to go. I was happy that everyone’s parents were on time for pickup because I was exhausted and ready to go.
I stopped by Mr. Miyagi’s to get some Chinese food on my ride home. I didn’t really like to drive to this part of town, but it was the best Chinese food in the city in my opinion. After I placed my order, I took a seat in one of the booths and busied myself on my phone so I could ignore the niggas that couldn’t catch the hint that a bitch was uninterested.
When I got on Pikz, I saw that I had a few messages. They were all from Tristan, so I ignored them then went to check my other notifications. I smiled big when I saw Makhai had commented on one of my pictures.
BigLocDawg: You like a different kind of pretty. Fr.
Since I was a nobody, the comment had likely gone unseen. Still, I hid it because I didn’t want anyone to see it later and make a big deal out of it. I then went to our message thread.
Golddiamondsss: Don’t comment on my pictures and have your harem attacking me.
When I saw him replying right away, I immediately started to hold my breath, and I hated myself for it. Makhai was trouble, but the kind that was hard to resist.
BigLocDawg: You deleted my shit?
Golddiamondsss: No, just hid it. I don’t want any trouble.
BigLocDawg: I’m the best kind of trouble to have.
BigLocDawg: I promise.
Golddiamondsss: I’m sure that’s true, but still, I don’t need it.
Instead of replying to the message, he started to call me on Pikz. I immediately started to panic, using the camera to check my face and hair. I was still pretty intact, but I had been working all day.
Saying fuck it and throwing caution to the wind, I answered. My heartbeat stuttered the moment that his handsome face appeared on the screen. He was unfairly sexy. It truly made me wonder who the hell his parents were and what they looked like.
“Why it take yo’ ass so long to answer?”
“I didn’t know I had to be in a hurry.” I playfully rolled my eyes and smiled.
“Definitely need some urgency when I’m banging that line.”
“What is it, Makhai? You could’ve just wrote me back.”
“I coulda, but I wanted to see yo’ pretty ass.”
I blushed even though I didn’t want to. I knew that he had enough women stroking his ego. He didn’t need to add me to that mix.
