Page 50 of Halo: Tales Of A Hitman

“That sounds like a good plan to me babe.”

I continued braiding the rest of his hair and we talked about a bunch of random stuff. Halo helped me clean up, even though I told him he did not have too. He even paid for his hair when I told him it was free. He said anytime it was done in the shop he’d pay. Halo made sure to stay close to me while I locked the salon up then he followed me to my place just like he said.

We took our shoes off at the door when we arrived at his place. Halo’s apartment was extremely nice, bright and I loved it. He showed me around and I found it funny when he showed me his DVD movie collection.

We both had the same thought on why we still purchased DVDs. Whenever we wanted to watch a movie, we loved it was better to just pop it in the DVD player rather than to search it on streaming service.

“Every time we watch a movie with this white man in it you be about to have a heart attack. I’m about to kick yo’ ass.” Halo blurted out.

We were on his bed eating tacos that I made and watching Failure to Launch. He and I got cleaned up then I decided to cook.

“I can’t help it that he’s a handsome man!” I argued back after I wiped my mouth.

“I feel you. I can’t help my foot going in that juicy booty you got either.”

When he said that I fell back against the soft pillows laughing.

“You do not have to do all of that. I have eyes for one man and one man only. He knows who he is.”

“Mm, maybe he needs to be reminded.”

I shrugged my shoulders then got up and took our empty plates to the kitchen. Teasing Halo was something I enjoyed doing because he’d get bent out of shape. The reassurances he needed from me turned me on.

To some it may be annoying but not for me. I loved having the key to his emotions and I wasn’t about to abuse it. However, I like to play a little like now. I got back to his room, and he was putting the top on his water bottle.

When I sat back on the bed, I picked up my Sprite bottle and drunk some. I had to so I wouldn’t laugh at the way he looked.

“I need to know why you are sitting there looking so angry.”

“Cause you provoking me and you know it.”

I moved closer to him and gave him a kiss. “Babe, my eyes are only focus on you.”

He bit his bottom lip with his head turned towards me. His eyes he had were one of a kind and I liked looking at them.

“I better be, cause I’m on yo’ ass tough Story. Your attention go to any other nigga and I’mma become like a virus that’s spreading non-stop.” He squeezed my thigh and leaned in for another kiss, but I moved back some.

“Speaking of being intense and frightening. We need to talk about somethings, particular about you and your brothers.”

Halo sat back against my headboard. He locked his fingers together on his lap. I drooled over the way his arms flexed from just that gesture.

“I figured this would come up. Tell me what you know or think you know first.”

My nerves were all over because I had no idea what was about to come. I decided to sit between his legs on my knees. My put sat on the back of my feet.

“Hendrix does some illegal---

“I know who he is, and his family. They sell drugs, I even know who their connect is.” I paused when he revealed that.

Halo chuckled, “I investigated him after I left your spot. They not small time, I respect it.”

“Oook, we’ll talk about boundaries another time. For right now, my sister, Hendrix and even my co-workers just told me to talk to you.”

“Nope. Lay it all on the table. I investigated Hendrix because I needed to know who the hell was living with my girl. I know he’s your best friend, but everybody has skeletons. All I needed to do was make sure his would never haunt you.”

I poked my lip out a little, “Surprisingly you flipped that into something sweet. And that’s okay but Halo. I need you to tell me about you and your brothers.” I hope he took this opportunity and was honest with me.

He waited a while and seemed to be battling in the direction he wanted to go in. Finally, he spoke.
