I nodded, allowing his words to process. I was a wild ass nigga that did what I wanted, when I wanted, with no one else in mind, but if it came down to it, I knew I could and would make sure Diamond and baby girl were always straight.
“Aight, I appreciate that Unc,” I leaned forward so that we could pound fists. “I’m gon’ slide so I can get ready. I’ll fuck with you later.” I reached to dap him up. “Love you, Unc.”
“Same, neph,” he replied. “And good luck tonight.”
I took my bike this way, so I hopped on my shit and hit it to the crib. Since I was gon’ be out the way, I put my shit up. Nobody was stupid enough to fuck with it, and security was pretty tight at my spot, but I didn’t want to tempt a nigga to lose their life by fucking with my shit.
When I made it up to my crib, I showered and got dressed. I had a car delivered to the airport already, so I was gon’ straight to Diamond’s crib when I got there. I’d already packed some shit to take with me, and whatever I didn’t have I’d buy while I was there. That’s how I did shit most of the time anyway.
I grabbed my shit then left and headed to the airport where the jet was already gassed up and waiting. On the ride over, I decided to do some work. I had a new album that I was finishing up, so I listened to some of the songs, okayed the new cover that had been sent to me, as well as finalized the details on the tour the label was putting together for me. It had been a lil’ minute since I’d done my own solo tour, so a nigga was geeked about the shit.
I’d gotten a good bit of work done by the time I made it to A.C., so I put all my shit away and pushed work to the back of my mind until I got back home. I wanted to give Diamond’s fine ass all my attention. I hit her and let her know I was in the city before I got in the Bentley Bentayga I had delivered and headed to her spot. Per my request, there was already a dozen roses in the passenger’s seat. I knew I wasn’t gon’ have time to go find any when I made it, so I requested the shits ahead of time.
I didn’t bother to park in a spot when I got to her crib. I just parked behind her whip because hopefully her ass was ready to come on out when I got up there. I’d texted her to let her know I was outside before taking the steps up to meet her at the door.
“Hey, I just need to get my purse and phone,” she said after opening the door.
She tried to hurry off, but I caught her wrist to stop her.
“No way you come to the door this fuckin’ fine then try to run the fuck off.” She blushed and pushed her bang off her face. “Are these for me?” she pointed to the flowers.
I nodded and handed them to her. “Diamond, I didn’t think you could get no finer, but damn, Lord, you look good as a mothafucka.”
The dress fit her petite frame like a fucking glove, and the shit had a nigga’s mouthwatering. The fresh pedicure made the shoes I dropped a grip on look even better. I needed to hit the designers up and tell them to let her ass model their products for them.
She had her hair pulled up in a ponytail that had some curls and shit in it. They had to be pinned up because her shit was a lot longer than it appeared to be now.
“Makhai, you have to let me go,” she said softly. “We’re going to be late.”
I didn’t want to let her fine ass go, but I did. She placed the flowers on the counter, then went to the back. When sheappeared again, she had her bag and phone in hand. I hurried to pull her into my body again. I knew off top that I was going to be all over her tonight.
When we made it down the steps, I helped her into the car then I rounded it to get into the driver’s side myself. I usually would listen to my music while I was riding, but I wanted to set the tone for the night, so I turned my brother’s unreleased album on. I knew I wasn’t supposed to let her hear the shit before it dropped but fuck it. I had faith she wasn’t gon’ say shit.
“Oh my God, is this Sy?”
I glanced her way and smirked. “Yeah, but it’s unreleased, so you can’t say shit.”
“I won’t. I love him so much.” She smiled.
“Aight, Lord,” I cut my eyes at her.
“Not like that. Just his music.”
“Yeah, aight.” I chuckled. “Who got baby girl? Your neighbor?”
“No, Kabria,” she answered. “Since we didn’t know what time I’d be done with you and I didn’t want to drag her out in the middle of the night again, she’s keeping her.”
“Oh, so I got you all night?” I grinned.
“Maybe. It depends on how you behave on this date. Where are we going anyway?”
“On a date, love.”
“I know that much, asshole.” She playfully rolled her eyes. “Whereis the date?”
“We gon’ be there soon, so you’ll know then.”
“So, it’s top secret. Got it.” She turned to sit back in her seat then started to fuck with some of the buttons on my shit. “Are these seat massagers?”
