I leaned against the wall and checked a few messages while Trooper tried his best to create distance between him and ol’ girl.
Trooper had a slick ass mouth, so I was waiting for him to blow up on her cute ass for being all in his personal space. He didn’t play about shit like that.
My ringing phone took my attention from them and I smiled when I noticed Maddie’s name flash across it. She was quickly moving up to the top of my priority list.
“What’s up, sexy?” I answered with a smug grin.
“Oh, so I’m sexy? This morning you told me I needed to eat more because I was too skinny,” she said in a way that exposed the smile on her face.
“I didn’t say shit about you not needing to eat. I meant that, shorty, but you still sexy though.”
“Thank you… I guess.” She laughed and it sounded sexy as hell.
“So, what’s up? You miss me or something?”
“Do you miss me?”
“Hell yeah, I do. I’m bricked up right now just from the sound of your voice.”
“Carlos!”
“What? I’m just being honest. You don’t want me to be honest with you?”
“Yes, I do, but I also don’t want us to be just sex,” she said, almost pouting. It was cute though.
“We’re more than just sex, Madeline. If you don’t know that, that’s on you, shorty.”
“I know, or at least I think I do.”
“Nah, none of that. If you rolling with me, I need you to be confident about how you feel. Especially when it comes to me.”
“Boy, please. I can be confident about what I want, but I can’t be confident about what I’m not sure I have.”
“Boy? Did I feel like a boy when I was digging in them guts, Madeline?”
“I’m not about to go there with you.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought,” I said firmly.
“Am I going to see you tonight?”
“I can make that happen. I have a few things to handle, so it might be late, but I can swing through there.”
“If you’re busy it’s fine. We can just see each other tomorrow.”
I rubbed my chin and smiled. “I will be busy. But it’s just business. When I’m done, I’ll come check you out.”
“Okay, Carlos, but don’t bring no secondhand bitches to me,” Maddie said, making me frown.
“Yo, what the fuck that mean?”
“Just like secondhand smoke, I don’t want secondhand bitches. That means don’t be coming around with traces of other women on you.”
I chuckled and felt a smile creep onto my face. “Yo, you wild as fuck, but I like that. Nah, you good. I wouldn’t disrespect you like that.”
“Good, then I’ll see you tonight,” she said and hung up on me.
Maddie had a little wild streak in her and I needed to tame that, but I was up for the challenge.
