“That’s on a need-to-know basis.”
“Very unfair.”
“Life isn’t fair.
I kiss her ear and chuckle.
It does not matter who Dejonae was with before me. From now on, she will be by my side. Nothing and no one can change that.
The car slows.
Our driver glances back at us with blank eyes. “We are here.”
I nod my thanks.
“I’ll see you at work Monday,” Dejonae says, reaching for the door.
“Monday?” The distaste in my voice is palpable. “Tomorrow is Saturday.”
“I have to study. Thanks tosomeone, my weekdays are always hectic and I’m too exhausted to crack open a textbook when I go home.”
“I can help you study.”
“Yeah, slow down, buddy.” She places a hand on my chest to stop me from coming closer. “I’m smart enough to know how that ends.”
“How?” I whisper.
She kisses me softly. “Like that.”
“Mm. That is not so bad.”
“For you, maybe. But for my grades…”
“Is it Howel? I can talk to him.”
She rolls her eyes. “I want to graduate because of my own efforts. Not because my boyfriend threw his money and fame around.”
My disappointment melts.
I glance down and train my lips not to smile.
Boyfriend.
I’m far too old to get excited at such a word and yet, with Dejonae, I feel like a teenager with his first crush.
“Fine. You can have Saturday,” I allow. “Sunday is mine.”
“Oh?” Her eyebrows hike. “You’re not asking?”
“I will kidnap you away if I have to.” I give her a look of challenge.
“I believe you.” She laughs.
“Where would you like to go on our first date?”
“How about we stay home on Sunday?”
I frown. “I may not like to go out, but I will take you wherever you want to go.”
