I giggled and nodded. “I won’t.”
“Aight, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
I got ready to hang up, but he stopped me, “Aye.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t wear no panties tonight, aight.”
“Bye, Makhai,” I said before hanging up the phone. He always had to say something to ruin the moment. He knew I wasn’t going to his show without panties on.
Was I?
After putting my phone away, I joined the rest of the ladies in the living room. They’d already popped a bottle of Don Julio 1942, and were two shots in, so I had to quickly catch up.
“So, Diamond, we all want to know,” Dior began, looking between the other women then back to me, “how thehelldid you get Loco’s ass to settle down?”
I laughed as I sat my shot glass back on the table. I knew they were going to ask me that.
“I don’t know,” I shrugged. “It kind of just happened.”
“Did he stalk you?” Safari asked and we all laughed. “I’m sorry, Prynceton told me that he did.”
“And you’re repeating something that fool said?” Destiny shook her head.
“Jabari told me he did too,” Kinnidi added.
“Sy too,” Dior chimed in.
“Well, damn,” I chuckled. “Destiny, your man didn’t tell you?”
She shook her head while the other ladies snickered.
“Shut up bitches.” She laughed and hit Safari since she was the closest to her. “You haven’t met Kyng yet, but he isveryserious. He doesn’t sit around and gossip about other people’s business like the idiots that these three married.”
“Kyng must be theKwho called and was going off on Makhai when we were together one day.”
“If he was cussing and going off, then that was definitely him,” Dior said.
Destiny laughed with them. “Yes. If he was fussing, then it was likely my MyKyng. All of their men keep his blood pressure high.”
“Oh, please, my baby keeps him young and on his toes,” Safari smirked.
“Heffa, your man is the primary reason my baby is on the brink of a stroke.” She teasingly rolled her eyes.
“We’re not here to talk about our men, y’all, let’s stay on topic here,” Kinnidi said. “So, he didn’t stalk you?”
“No, he didn’t,” I laughed.
“Hell, he damn near did for real,” Kabria said. “She wasnottrying to give my friend a chance. He had to break her down.”
I tittered before saying, “He was very persistent. I will say that, but he didn’t stalk me, per se. He just got all of my information from thin air, showed up to my place, forced his way into my space and life…”
“So basically stalking,” Kabria cut in and we all laughed.
“My baby just went through great lengths to be in my presence,” I waved them off. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
