“Long as I know about it so I can tell his ass to keep his hands to himself, then yeah.” Siah’s face turned into a grin.
“Why do you always do that? Senior isn't worried about me, Siah, not like that.”
He chuckled. “Yeah, I know, but real talk, go check him out when you get a minute. He keeps asking about you.”
“I’ll do that,” I said, making a mental note to find time to go see his dad. I actually missed him and loved spending time with him.
Not long after, we pulled up in front of my office building and Siah promised to have someone, likely Jock, bring my car to me later. He made sure to tongue me down in a way that had my center pulsing, and then he was gone. I knew I wouldn't see him for a couple days, but I was used to it. Right now, I had to get my mind right to go in here and deal with Kizzie about this Red situation, but unfortunately that would have to wait until after we dealt with Archer.
Kizzie
When I pulled up at Red’s house, my chest felt tight and my heart was pounding. When Nonie told me that she saw him with some low budget hoe at Donovan’s I felt my heart break. Not only was he with another trick, but he took her to Donovan’s. It was expensive as hell, like a hundred dollars a plate type of expensive. I know because it was one of my favorite places. That meant he was either tight with the hoe or trying to impress her, but either way it wasn't sitting well with me.
I knew I did my dirt with Jock, but it was just sex, we weren't kicking it on some relationship type deal, all out in public hand in hand like that. Cheating is cheating, I get it, but knowing that Red was doing it had me all in my damn feelings. I had suspected, but never really knew for sure, so hearing Nonie confirm it for me had me damn near in tears. It hurt like hell, and I had to step to him about it. I mean, if he was bold enough to be all out in public with the trick, then he had to expect that there was a possibility he would get caught, right?
Everybody knew Red, which meant that everybody knew that I was his girl, so he was mighty damn comfortable to be taking hoes to Donovan’s. I inhaled and let it out slow before pulling down the mirror to check my face. If I was going in on Red, I wanted to be flawless. He needed to know what he was risking for some low budget, two dollar hoe.
The way Nonie described her had me mad as hell. She said the chick had on cheap clothes, a bad weave, and too much makeup. She did mention that the hoe had potential, but only with some serious attention, so damn, why was Red with her? He had a fucking queen on his team, and he was slumming it with what should have been the help. That made it worse.
When I was finally ready to deal, I stepped out of my car and moved to his door with confidence. I glanced at my nicely manicured nail as my finger reached the doorbell and I waited.
It took a minute, but Red surfaced, dressed in a pair of basketball shorts and nothing else. His sandy brown dreads fell around his face as his eyes smiled at me before he stepped aside to let me in. After a hug and kiss that had my knees weak, his voice filled the room.
“What you doing here, Kiz? I was just about to get dressed and head out.”
Red looked so sexy standing in front of me with his body exposed and begging for my attention.
“I missed you last night. I just wanted to catch my man before he hit the streets to handle business.” All of my intentions were put on hold. I wanted to see what he would say before I fronted him about being in New York.
“Word, that’s what’s up, baby. I missed you too, but I’ll make it up to you tonight. I had some shit surface that needed to be handled immediately, and only by me. You know how that goes.”
Yeah, muthafucker, I bet. “I figured, that’s why I’m here, I just wanted to surprise you for a minute before you started your day.” I tried to hide my true feelings after his confession about shit surfacing that needed to be handled, but it was extremely hard. I managed, though, and kept a cool head.
“Shit, you know I’m always good with surprise visits, Kiz. We can talk while I get dressed, but I have a meeting in an hour that I can't miss.”
I nodded and followed Red down the hall to his bedroom, checking out my surroundings as I moved through his house. I knew every inch of it, so if something was out of place, I would recognize it. When we got to his room, the first thing I checked out was his bed and then relaxed a little. The covers were only pulled back on the side that he slept on and the other side looked untouched. There was no way he had a bitch in his bed last night unless she slept on top of the covers or he remade the bed after she left.
“So, what's up, Kiz? What did you get into last night? I know your ass was probably loaded up with a bottle of Moscato watching that damn trash TV.”
