Nola – Agreed.
Me – Can someone please tell me what’s going on here?
Ophelia – Grey claimed you.
Soraya – He did. Heard all about it.
Nola – He really did.
Nola – When these men claim something...
Tempie – There’s no getting out of it.
Agatha – That’s why I’m still single.
Tempie – No. You're single because no man wants to put up with you.
Agatha – I resent that.
Tempie – Really?
Ophelia – Ladies!
Me – What do you mean he claimed me?
Nola – He sent a text to the group chat the brothers have.
I swallowed.
Then I went to our text thread and typed out my message.
Me – So, I heard something about you today.
I got out of bed, and before I could walk to the bathroom, my phone pinged.
Grey – Yeah. What’s that?
Me – That you claimed me.
Grey – Not a lie.
Grey calling.
Seeing his name, I could have tried as hard as I could to stop the smile that bloomed across my face, but I wouldn’t have been able to.
I smiled, “Umm, hey.”
He chuckled, “Hey, baby girl. So, got a problem with me claiming you?”
“Well... yeah. I don’t know you.” I told him.
“I can fix that. Picking you up at six tonight. Dress warm. Taking the bike.” He said.
I felt a brow raise, “Really?”
“Yeah. Remember every word you said the other night. Gonna rectify everything you said you wanted to do.”
“And if I don’t want you to?” I asked.
