"Do you have that order for me as yet?" Bruce, the head said filling out some receipts.

"The new chain right?" I said typing on the computer, making sure I was correct.

"Yeah the customer for that piece will be here to pick it up at 2:00 it is almost 2:45 now," Bruce said looking at the time on his computer.

"Okayy and who is the piece for again?" I asked looking through the folder of the customer's contact information.

"Central Cee," Bruce said finishing his sketch for another customer's chain.

"Bruceeeee," I whined. "Why do you always pair me up with him? You do know he is just going to spend most of his visit, flirting with me."

"I know but he is a big spender and he likes you, so just do the deal." He instructed.

"Ight then," I chuckled shaking my head.

I continued to bill out receipts to some of our Hatton Garden customers as I waited for time to pass.

Before I knew the time was 2:10 and Cench was walking in. "Wagwan Bruce?" He said entering the building.

"Cench... My brudda, what's up fam?" He said leaning over the counter to shake his hand.

Cench was surrounded by his mandem, as per usual. The only names I remember were Wadz's and Dave's.

"Nothing man, what have you been doing?" Cench asked leaning against the counter.

"Just working you know," Bruce nodded his head.

"Who is this for? Are you lot working on this right now? This hard." Cench said pointing to a sketch that was laid out on the counter.

"It's actually for Aitch, he will be here next week to get it," Bruce replied.

"That shit is hard inno. I'm not going to lie."

"Thank youu, it is a 24 carat gold with VVS diamonds."

"Yeahh that shit hard." Cench nodded his head. Cench looked around the room to see if he can see me until he spotted me coming out from the back room.

I playfully rolled my eyes when I saw him walking over to my counter to approach me. "Wagwan, Nsombi?" He grinned.

"Heyyy Mr. Ceasar-Su." I smiled.

Cench kissed his teeth straight facing me. "Why do your ass always want to play, stop calling me that shit. You know my name is Oakley."

"I am aware of that, but I have to keep it professional. It is company protocol." I said typing his name on the computer to put it in our database.

"Whatever, but you don't have professional with me inno." He said trying to make a point.

He took a seat in the chair closest to the counter I was by. "I'll be over to you in one second," I said to him.

He nodded his head and pulled out his phone.

I grabbed all of the paperwork that I needed for him to sign and carried it over to the contract table where his chain lies in a box, before taking a seat.

"You look good," He said sitting up from his slouching position.

"Boy hush," I said laughing. "Okay, so I need you to sign here, here and right here," I said pointing to three different places on three different pieces of paper while handing him a pen.

Oakley grabbed the pen and smiled showing off his pearly white teeth. He started to sign the papers he glanced over to me and looked me up and down licking his lips. "So when will we go out ma?"

"Oakley just sign the papers." I laughed.

"I'm not going to sign it if you don't answer my question." He chuckled putting the pen down, waiting.

"And if you don't you not going to get your chain," I said picking the pen up.

"And if I don't get my chain Bruce will be mad as hell that he made me this chain for no reason, and it going to be your fault cause you were the seller." He smirked.

I looked over at Oakley and shooked my head." I told you I don't date drill rappers."

"Okay well, I'm not a rapper then." He laughed.

"Well, then what are you?" I asked.

"What type of mamdem do you like again?" He asked.

"Pilots and Doctors," I responded, crossing my legs over each other.

"Ight then I'm am light skin curly-headed doctor with a lot of tattoos."

I playfully slapped his arm shaking my head. "Oakley be for real."

"I am for real. What makes me different anyways?"

"I actually don't know." She shrugged. "They are just different."

"Nah, you most definitely know. How do you know what a date is like if you haven't gone on one?"

"I've seen what people say about rappers in the blogs." She says playing with the pen. "It's either drug-related, gang-related or just plain abuse and I know you're into two of the things I just said. Not to mention all the girl drama that comes with you lots."

"How do you know that?"

"I've seen your Instagram before, you are also well known. I don't like that kind of attention on myself."

"I don't like it either. I have never been on a blog for anything stupid, I barely even post on my Instagram."

"Mhmm, that is what you lots would say. Okay let's not talk about it anymore, I respect you in every way but I don't think we would get close like that." I said trying to desperately change the subject.

"But how do you know that you never know what will happen? Ok ok, come on a date with me one time and if you don't feel the connection I will never ask you again."

"Oakelyy," I laughed throwing back my head. "Why every time you come we talk more about me than about your chains?"

"It's because the next time I come in here I want to get a chain with your name on it." He grinned.

"Okay I will admit that was smooth, I will give you that but can we finish the signing of the papers." I look around to see Bruce conversing with some of Oakley's mandem with the rest looking around.

"I already told you ma, I'm not going to sign anything until you go out with me. I'm not that bad, the blogs just exaggerate things."

"Why do you want to go out with little old me so bad?" I signed asking. "I have never seen someone be this determined to go out with me, I'm sure there are girls that will do anything to go out with you and will literally throw themselves at you."

"Because I don't want anything easy, I want something that I have to earn, I don't even want to pretend with you, you are just different."

While chewing my gum, I looked over my shoulder to see Bruce laughing. "If I agree to go out with you, you will sign the papers?" I asked.

"Yeahh, if you go out with me I will sign anything you want me to."

"You're mad," I said handing him back the pen and telling him where to sign again.

"Nahh, answer."

"Answer what?"

"Say you let me take you out."

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Okayy Mr. Ceasar-Su, I will let you take me out on ONE date but tell me from now on if there is anything or anyone I should be worried about."

"What do you mean?"

"Like if there are any women you're messing with, I don't want to have to bring pepper spray or fight because your girlfriend or your side piece caught you out with me."

"I don't have no bitch, no hoe, none of that so you don't have to worry about that. Still, bring your pepper spray though or if you have a taser even better cause the mandem has opps and ting."

"The opps? Uh uh hell no, I'll pass." I said motioning my hands in a no motion.

"I'm just fucking with you ma, don't worry." He said grabbing my hand and kissing it. "I will see you tonight, ight?"

"And what you think I don't have plans for tonight?" I said side-eyeing him.

"Ight then what plans do you have?"

"Well I don't have any tonight, but that still doesn't mean you can assume I am free." I laughed.

"So you going to look good for me?"

"It depends on where you taking me?" I said trying not to blush.

"I can't tell you that," He said sitting up. "Can I have your number?"

"I don't know can you?"

"I can see your ass going to give me a hard time." He laughed showing me his pearly white teeth again. "Stop playing ma."

I took my phone out of my pocket while playfully rolling my eyes and cracking a smile. I unlocked it and handed it to him and told him. "You can give your number."

As he typed his number, all I could do was smile and admire all the tattoos that adorned his skin. The many chains that he wore around his neck and the way he dressed. Every time he came in the store, Oakley was always dressed to impress even though all he was wearing was a tracksuit that is one thing I admire about him. You could tell even though he didn't try hard looking good was important to him, and his confidence also added to it.

Getting up from the stool he was on, he handed me back my phone. "I will see later ma," He said coming in for a hug.

I was going in for a side hug but he corrected me by pulling me in by my waist. His head fitted perfectly in my neck as if it was meant to be and his hands gripped my waist in a somewhat friendly gesture.

I pulled away with a closed-mouth smile, grabbed the box where his chain sat and handed it to him. "Remember this is your one and only chance don't mess it up," I said pointing my finger at him after every word.

"Alright, bet and if I fuck up and you ain't fuckin with me after, I will leave you alone. Deal?"

"Deal." I nodded pulling a strand of hair behind my ear.

I watched as he walked over to his mandem who is in the middle of the store. He dapped up Bruce, telling him something to make him laugh before they parted ways. Oakley held his chain in one hand while he is holding his phone in the other.

He followed his mandem out of the store and said his goodbyes to everyone once more before they all left.

I stood up from my seat and walked behind the counter to make copies of the warranty sheets Oakley signed. "Here are the signed agreements," I said to Bruce.

"Nsombi?" He said waving his hand in my face.

"Yes?" I said looking up at him.

"Why are you so smiley? I thought you didn't like selling and talking to him." Bruce mocked.

"I'm not smiling... am I?"

Bruce turned me around positioning me in front of a mirror. "Oh, I guess I am... well um it's nothing really I just think he's funny, he makes me laugh that's just all."

"Well I'm glad somebody is making you laugh, you're always acting so uptight." Kymonie barged in from the back office scaring the life out of everyone.

"Girl whatever," I said stapling some folders together. "You are not the one to talk."

"Birds of a feather flock together," Bruce said.

"Whatever Bruce," Kymonie laughed. "When are you going to pair me up with a rapper huh?"

"Business first Kymonie, I'm not a matchmaker."

"Shit, you might as well be."

"I didn't even want to sell to Oakley anyways so don't get too excited I don't know why he's always trying to get at me so bad."

"Because he likes you Nsombi... why is it so hard for to you accept that somebody out in this world likes you?" Kymonie said.

"Because I don't do anything to make anyone like me, I'm very antisocial and to myself, I don't know why he wants me out of all the people," I said flipping my hair.

"You're team too much," Kymonie laughed. "Some niggas like quiet girls and you don't have to do anything to make anyone like you, sometimes they just spot you out in a crowd. The type of nigga that Oakley is I know he got bitches handing pussy to him left and right, maybe he just sees something different in you."

"You think so?"

"I know so, you're pretty as hell Nsombi. Why wouldn't he like you?"

"What in the world 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒆 Kymonie is actually giving me a compliment for once? Oh My God I'm so honoured." I fake gasped.

"Don't get too hyped up now, but on a serious note, I think it'll be good for you to go out with Oakley because you like them boring ass men Nsombi, you ain't never dated a hood nigga before. I already know Oakley gone turn you out, and I can't wait."

"I honestly don't think he'll make it through this one. It's just one date."

"Not you doubting him already. I'm willing to put money on it, I bet you and Oakley will go a lot further than just this one date."

"Put me in there too, I agree with Kymonie." Bruce interrupted.

"Bruce!" I yelled shocked. "Not you too."

"I've known Oakley for years Nsombi, when he's interested in someone he's interested. I gotta take Kymonie's side on this."

I squinted at the two of them, "Fine," I huffed. "It's a bet."

I gained smiles from both Bruce and Kymonie, I pouted thinking about how this date was gonna go. Hopefully it goes well.

"Where you bout to go bruv?" Dave asked walking into my room with Juke (lil bro) and Wadz behind him.

"Yeah, fuck you going?" Wadz added. "Your ass all dressed up and shit."

I grabbed my belt off the bed and put them through the loops of my pants. "You lots remember that girl from Hatton Garden ?" I asked.

"Thick bitch with the lace front?" Juke asked. "That is the one we saw today, I forgot her name though."

Wadz snapped his fingers trying to remember, "Uh, damn bruv. Isn't it Nysombiam or sum shit?"

"This nigga said Nysombiam." Dave laughed. " My darg tripping, that's her name for real?"

"Her name is Nsombi bruv," I said. "I have been tryna fuck wit her and shit, but she acts like she ain't wanna give a brother a chance."

"I thought that hoe was married or sumn, she looks like she dates them old rich ass niggas." Wadz said.

Laughing at Wadz, I grabbed my CC chain off of the dresser. "Nahh,I thought so too, but I don't think she ever dated a street brother or if she has she ain't really fuck with them like that."

"Why would you say that?" Dave asked.

"Cause she was saying she knows how people like me is, she said we always in the blogs and shit and she doesn't really like attention like that."

"What did she say when you had to sign for your chain?" Wadz asked.

"She was blushing and ting, she played shy, she also tried to get me to sign for the chain alone and I was like like nah let me take you out."

"Just like that?" Juke asked.

"I didn't waste no time bruv," I said spraying myself with my cologne.

"She was mine since I first saw her, I was just waiting for her to finally put her guard down."

"What makes her different from all them other hoes?" Juke asked.

"She just looks like the type that'll change a brother for the better. She is making me feel like I'm a regular person as she sees beyond the money and jewellery cause that shit doesn't excite her. I be needing people like that around me sometimes."

"She got a sister?" Wadz asked lifting up from the bed. "I bet her mama is fine as fuck." He said out loud.

I laughed leaning down to place my feet in my shoes. "Nigga I don't know."

"Where are you taking her?"

"We'll probably go to Le Petit Citron"

"That expensive ass restaurant with the glass ceilings and shit?" Wadz asked.

"Hell yeah, that's good for a shorty like her right? I'm just tryna make a good first impression." I said fixing my curls in the mirror.

"Hell yeah, the hoes love that spot she will probably give it up on the first night if you take her there," Juke added.

"Bruv you lot crazy, I have never taken any bitch there though. Every hoe I fucked with got Chick-Fil-A and that was it."

"If you really trying to fuck with her like that then that's the best place to go. When are you going to pick her up?" Wadz asked looking at his phone. "It's almost 8 now, you lot got reservations?"

"Yeah, for nine." I nodded. "They ass be cancelling people shit if you late, so let me go."

"Ight bruv," Wadz reached out and dapped me. "Don't forget to ask her if she got a sister." He joked.

"Man, shut yo ass up." I laughed. "But nah, I will see."

Dapping up Juke and Dave, I made my way out of the room and down the stairs. I grabbed my keys while reaching for the door handle. "Aye, keep my shit clean bruvs, safety!" I yelled.

I heard "We got you's and safety's" before I left out. I pulled out my phone walking to the car.

I opened the door and sat inside and started to scroll through the text messages I received earlier between Nsombi and I. Clicking on her name to call her, I shut the car door and started the car.

"𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐?" She answered sweetly.

"You ready? I'm about to come pick you up."

"𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒉𝒉𝒉,𝑰 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒔. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒇𝒂𝒓 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒎𝒆?"

"Like, ten minutes," I replied. "What do you have on?" I asked backing out of the driveway.

"𝑩𝒐𝒚, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆."

"Damn like that?"

"𝒀𝒖𝒑𝒑 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕." She said softly making me press down on my dick.

"You know you got a sexy ass voice. Anyone ever told you that?"

"𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒘, 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆." She said laughing

"Nah, I love that shit," I added.

Making a left at the stop sign, I turned into a neighbourhood of houses.

"Which one yo house ma?"

"𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚?"

"Yeahhh, I told you I don't live that far from you."

"𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒚 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒓, 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒇𝒆𝒘 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝑰 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒊𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒎𝒆."

"I thought you did that already?" I laughed. "You are lying to me now?"

"𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆𝒚 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆."

I playfully kissed my teeth and backed into her driveway putting the car in park. "I'm outside, take your time."

"𝑰 𝒘𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈, 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒕𝒆."

"Alright," I said hanging up.

A minute after I hung up she came outside.

"Damn," I mumbled biting my lip. Eyeing her as she walked over to the car, I unlocked it.

Nsombi opened the door and got in making sure to move her hair so she wouldn't sit on it. Once she was comfortable she looked up at me with the most beautiful smile.

"Heyy." She waved shyly as she crossed her legs in the seat putting on her seatbelt.

"What's up ma? you look good inno."

"Thank you." She blushed. "You look nice as well."

"Appreciate it ma," I said pulling out of her driveway. "You ight?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You keep wiping your hands on your leg, you nervous innit?" I smiled.

"Honestly?" She looked at me.

I nodded waiting for her to finish. I glanced up at her quickly, "Yeah, tell me."

"I am, aside from work we've never been around each other like this. With no one around us at least."

"That's a good thing, right? That means you don't have to be shy and shit now, it's just me and you."

"I'm not shy, I just never really knew what to say. I get customers that flirt with me, but you... you just never stopped." She laughed.

"It's because I was feeling you. Why do you think Bruce kept giving me to you?"

"I'm sure you would have liked Kymonie more."

"Kymonie isn't my type, you are that is why."

"Please, everybody's your type. I've seen the girls you used to date."

"None of those relationships lasted long, so therefore they don't count."

"Boy, whatever." She laughed. "You have that much confidence in yourself to know that we'll last longer?"

"Hell yeah, I know for a fact you will want to see me again."

"How do you know that?"

"We are almost there. I hope you have never been here, I was tryna do something different inno."

"If I did, I wouldn't tell you. I don't wanna ruin it."

"Nahh, I do want you to tell me. Cause if you did I'm takin yo ass to Chick-Fil-A"

"And that will be the last time you see or hear from me."

"Damn, you too good for Chick-Fil-A?"

"No, but I ain't get dressed up for nothing like that."

"Man, yo ah jokeman." I joked. "I was gone let you order off the regular menu, you are worth more than a chicken burger and waffle fries!"

"Ight ight, chill you going to make me crash this bitch." I said moving away from her hit but swerving a little.

"Stop playing with me then." She said uncrossing her legs.

"I'm just playing with you, look." Pointing out her window, I turned into the parking lot of the restaurant.

Hearing her gasp, made me turn my head in her direction once I parked on the side for the valet. "What? You have been here before?"

"No, I always wanted to go here."

"For real?"

"Yess, everybody always talks about it."

"Well, now you can talk about it," I said cutting the car off and getting out. Walking over to her side, I helped her out since the door was already open.

"You are really impressing me." She said with her hand still in mine.

"I told you," I said closing the car door, gripping her hand walking towards the valet and handing him my keys. "You going to be happy you went out with me by the end of the night."

"Only time will tell." She said letting go of my hand and walking ahead of me.

Turning around she stopped me before we got to the door. "Can you take a picture of me?"

"For sure" I nodded grabbing her phone out of her hand. I stepped back and swiped up on the camera and took a few pictures.

I handed her back the phone, and she smiled. "These are so cute, thank you."

"You good ma. Send that one to me." I said swiping to the first picture l took.

"Yeah, these ones are my favourite too." She said putting the pictures in a folder. Swiping to the picture I wanted she shared it sending it to my phone.

"Okay, I sent it. Let's go in." She said reaching for my hand again and grabbing it to lead the way.

I grabbed the door handle and pulled it out with my other hand following behind her.

"Hi, welcome to Le Petit Citron. Do you guys have any reservations with us? If not, the wait will be an hour and thirty minutes." The waitress asked.

"Yeah, it's under Oakley," I said pulling Nsombi closer to me.

"Got it. Oakley Caesar-Su?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Okay, follow me." The waitress said.

We both walked a short distance to the table in the area I requested. It was an area in the back they had blocked off, just for us.

Before sitting down, I pulled out Nsombi's chair and walked towards mine as the waitress gave us our menus."

"I will be right with you to take your orders, but do you want to start off with your drinks?" She asked.

"I'll take a mimosa," Nsombi said.

"And for you?"

"Two glasses of water please, and you can bring out a bottle of champagne."

"Okay," she nodded. "I'll be right back with your drinks.

Opening my menu, I looked up at Nsombi. "You good?" I laughed. "Your ass has been smiling since we got in here."

"Causee, it's so nice in here. I'm just happy that's all don't mind me."

"I like when you smile, you be looking mean as fuck at work."

She gasped and covered her mouth. "No, I do not. I smile, don't do that."

"When you help them other people with their chain your ass be rushing to get them out of there."

"Becauseee, they're annoying as fuck. I've never met so many egotistical ass men in my life until I started working there."

"What you thought of me?" I asked leaning on the table.

"I liked how you made conversation with me way before you even began to flirt with me. You always made me laugh, I like that."

"But?"

She shrugged crossing her legs. "I just never seen myself with you. Not to say you're a bad guy, I'm just not used to hood dudes."

"Hood people is hard to resist."

"You may be, but not all of them."

"That is how you feel?" I asked.

"For now." She smiled.

"Nah, there isn't any now. You thought I was some lame-ass person, you probably thought this date was going to be over before it even started huh?"

"The date just got started, there's still time."

"Ight then, let's make a bet," I said.

"Okay, let me hear it?"

"If I win, you are going to lips me, and if I lose I won't come back up there fuckin with you. Bet?"

She playfully rolled her eyes, and she agreed. "Bet." She stretched her hand out grabbing mine and shaking it.

"When I win, you better stand on that shit, I get to choose how long we lips too."

"No, that wasn't part of the rules. You can't just add stuff in there that we already bet on." She laughed.

"I will win though."

"You don't know that though."

"Ight, we'll see," I said as the waitress came back with our drinks.

After she took our food orders, it felt like time moved faster once we finally got our food. We went from talking to laughing and getting to know each other more.

By the end of the date, I lowkey didn't want to take her home.

"I'm so full," Nsombi said pulling her dress down as she got up from her seat. "I'm glad we came here. Thank you!"

I got up from my seat making sure I had everything before wrapping my arm around her neck. "You don't have to thank me, ma."

Leaning her head on my shoulder, she wrapped her hands around my waist as we walked towards the exit. "I do. This was the best date I've been on. You know what's funny?"

"What?" I asked nodding at the waitress who told us bye.

"Bruce and Kymonie bet me that this date would be a hit."

"Damn, and yo ass bet against me?" I said quickly glancing down at her, and pulled her in closer as we walked out of the restaurant.

"I feel so bad now. I wouldn't mind going on another date with you. You proved me wrong." She said pulling away.

"You know what you gotta do now, huh?"

"Mm, what's that?"

"You know, stop playing dumb."

Stepping closer to me with a smile, she wrapped her arms around my waist leaning up. "You have to meet me halfway."

I smiled grabbing her waist trailing my hands down to her ass and leaning down to initiate the kiss.

"Watch it," She said moving my hands up to her waist. "Keep your hands up here and your eyes on me," Placing her soft plump lips on mine, she held them there for a second before she started to move them around, leaving soft pecks on my lips.

Nsombi closed her eyes at the feeling and soon opened them back up when she felt like she was getting carried away. "Mm," She said wiping the ends of her mouth.

"Damn," I said slightly adjusting my dick around. "Your lips are soft as hell Nsombi."

"Yours too." She smiled, wiping the excess lipgloss off of my lips. "We should probably go." She said clutching onto her purse.

"Nah, I wanna kiss some more," I said keeping my hands around her waist.

"Oakleyyyyyyy," She whined.

"Aight, ight" I laughed removing my hands. "But we for sure going on another date."

"I would like that." Nsombi smiled.
