“Sometimes we meet the right people at the wrong time. If you feel like it’s right this time around, I say go for it. You’re a bad ass bitch, Ms. Steph. If I end up looking like you and my mama when I get your age, trust me, I’m still gonna be popping this thang, girl. Your son will be okay. If he ain’t, better get used to it. Mama gotta have a life too.”

“You right.”

She snapped her fingers and went back to working on my feet. I busied myself with reading a book on my Kindle app. It was another hobby I picked up after Aaron passed away. Sometimes it paid to get lost in the pages of a good book. For me, it was an escape from reality.

Just as I was getting to the good stuff, a notification came through from my bank of a three-thousand-dollar deposit.

“What the hell?”

When I clicked on it, I saw that it was from Senior with a note attached.

“Daddy loves to see you taking care of yourself.”

I couldn’t help but blush as I read it.

“That damn man,” I mumbled.

Komiko smirked. “Big Daddy sent you some funds?”

“How did you know?”

She laughed. “Because a deposit is the only thing that makes me smile at my phone like that.”

I shook my head as I pressed the call button to call him. He answered on the second ring.

“Hey, beautiful.”

“Stanley, how did you know where I was?”

“I can always find you, Steph. Believe that.”

I rolled my eyes.

“Don’t be rolling your eyes at me woman. I can’t see you, but I know your ass.”

“Oh whatever. I just called to say thank you. You didn’t have to do that.”

“I know I didn’t, but I wanted to. I mean, I get the pleasure of seeing those pretty nails wrapped around my dick. I might as well pay for it.”

I was blushing hard as hell. This man had me feeling like a young girl again.

“Stop being fresh,” I warned him.

“Awww, you in public thinking about it? I know you visualize that shit too, baby. Pretty nails, pretty ass mouth⁠—”

“Senior!’

He chuckled at my expense. “Okay, okay,” he conceded. “Let me stop. What are you doing when you leave there?”

“I have brunch with Salima and Karen. Maybe do a little shopping.”

“Let me send you some more money.”

“Stanley… baby, I don’t need your money.”

“Girl you never turn down the funds!” Komiko said, loudly, before instantly pursing her lips. “My bad, girl. I’m all in your business.”

In my ear, Senior laughed. “She’s right, though.”
