She Fell For A Boss(28)

“Why not?” Instantly, his whole mood changed, and Yami noticed it. He was serious and looked annoyed.

“She just wants me to focus on school and Ray.”

“So both of y’all scared of that nigga, huh?”

“No, that’s not it,” Yami tried to explain.

“It's cool, shorty, but tell your sister that this shit is happening. She don't have to like it, but it's happening. Today was good, shit just feels right. I know you feel it too, so I don't really care whether she thinks it’s a good idea. No disrespect, but it's your life, shorty.”

“I know, let's just see what happens first.”

“I’ight, I’ll give you that. I have a few things to take care of, so I’ll hit you in a little while. Don't take your ass to sleep.” Miego was smiling again, but Yami wasn't.

“Are you seeing anyone?” She had been thinking about it all day, but just didn't ask. They were having a good time and she didn't want to ruin it, but a guy like Miego always had somebody, and the day they met he was on the phone with some chick named Nakia.

“Not anybody that matters. You tell me that you're down with me and I dead that shit, no questions asked.”

“Are you still fucking her?”

Miego chuckled about the fact that she had hit him with his own question.

“Nah, not anymore,” he answered truthfully.

“Not at all?” Yami quizzed.

“Until you decide what you want, I might let her suck my dick, but nah shorty, I’m not gon’ fuck her. I promise you that.” He didn't feel it was necessary to mention that he might get with somebody else, though. Hell, he didn't know how long Yami was going to hold out on him.

“Wow. Yeah, you do that.”

“Yo, you asked. Didn't I tell you not ask questions that you already know that answer to? If I'm not fucking you, then you know I’m fucking somebody. Don't act shocked, but I’m not a cheater, Yami. The second I know it's me and you, that's it. I won't mess around, but you just told me in so many words that you don't know what you wanna do. When you figure that shit out, I’m in a hundred and ten percent, but until then, I’m gon’ do me,” Miego said.

“Yeah.”

“And when I leave here, I’m going to see my nephew and then taking my ass home. So don't go ignoring my damn calls because you think I been with the next bitch.”

Yami smiled, just a little relieved that he wasn't leaving her to go be with someone else. He wasn't hers, but she was still jealous.

“So, can I get a kiss good night?”

Yami laughed. “No, you cannot. You just admitted that you might be sexing other females until I so call make a decision, so why would I let you kiss on me?”

Miego laughed. “Damn, shorty, you really testing me. Can I, at least, get a hug then?”

Yami opened her arms and was about to lean toward him, but Miego opened his door and got out instead. She did the same and waited for him.

“Fuck that, I need to feel something since your ass is holding out. I don't want no damn kiddy hug.” Miego grabbed her so fast and pulled her body against his that it caught her off guard. The way his body engulfed hers made her feel like it was a perfect fit, like his arms were made just to hold her.

Miego held on for as long as he could before he kissed the top of her head. “When you finally do let me hit, I’m probably gon’ split your little ass in two. Real talk, shorty,” Miego said randomly.

“Oh my God, you just can't help yourself, can you?”

He grinned. “My bad, that damn filter shit don't work for me, but I’m trying. Give a nigga some credit.”

“Good night, Miego.”

Yami shook her head and walked to her sister’s building. He watched until she disappeared inside it. His mind was made up even if hers wasn't. She was rolling with him, fuck what everybody else thought.

“Mommy, what took you so long?” Rayah ran into Yami’s arms as soon as she walked in the door.

“Why, did you miss me?” Yami lifted her daughter and kissed her face, but her attention was focused on her sister who was mugging her hard as hell.

“Yes, but Auntie Yaz bought me candy and let me watch a movie.” Rayah was narking on Yaz and didn't even realize it.

“She did? Well, how about you better eat all of your dinner or we’re gon’ have some problems, Ray, you know better.” Yami peered at her daughter who grinned back at her.

“Don't sweat her, she’s not the only one doing things that she shouldn't be doing, right, Yami?” Yaz said before she rolled her eyes and walked back into her tiny kitchen.

“Go play, Buttercup, and I’m going to help Aunty Yaz finish making dinner.”
