CK shook his head, laughing. “Nah, that’s exactly the point. You need a woman around you that ain’t scared of you.”

I leaned back against the booth. “She need some dick. That’s what she need.”

CK damn near choked laughing. “And you gon’ give it to her?”

I smirked a little before looking away. “She don’t like me.”

That made him pause for a second. “You don’t know that.”

“I can tell.” I shrugged casually. “That lady barely look at me unless she correcting something.”

“You sound disappointed.”

“I’m not disappointed. I’m irritated. It’s a difference.”

“Mhmm.” He took another drink. “You like that girl.”

I looked him dead in the face. “Relax.”

“I’m serious.”

“I hired her. That’s it.”

CK held his hands up. “A’ight, bro. Whatever you say.”

A woman walked over and started dancing in front of me again, but my mind wasn’t even there. I looked past her, grabbing my drink instead.

CK watched me for a second before shaking his head. “Yeah… you gone.”

“Man, you gotta chill.” I chuckled low this time.

A couple of hours later, I left before CK did. I wasn’t in the mood to stay out all night. The liquor settled in my chest while I drove home, city lights blurring past the windows.

By the time I got upstairs and sat down, my phone buzzed again.

Vanessa.

I opened the text.

A picture of Sade loaded slowly.

She was kissing the same nigga from the restaurant.

It was taken outside somewhere nice too. Just an hour ago.

I frowned before I could stop it.

Another text came through right under the picture.

V Baby:Looks like she got a nigga now…

I stared at the screen longer than I should have.

Zoomed in once.

Then locked the phone.

“She don’t like me,” I said to myself, leaning back against the couch.
