She tossed her purse and keys on the kitchen table and walked over to Conner, sticking her finger into the almost empty container, scooping a small bit that she licked from her finger. “I was supposed to, but Reyna asked me to close.”
“Damn girl, you already have the keys to the castle and have barely crossed the finish line of being there two months.”
“She likes me but she likes her man more. The date she had with him plus Samadia switching shifts with me was her motivation.”
“So the only reason you got keys to the castle is because she was on a dick mission.” Cali and Conner both grinned.
“Pretty much. But I’m still good at my job.” Cali yanked open the refrigerator and removed a single bottle of apple juice then was on her way to the back with Conner following.
Conner flopped in the accent chair while Cali kicked off her shoes. Her jeans were next to go while Conner scrolled through her phone, finishing off what was left of the whipped cream. “It’s weird to see you working.”
“Bitch, I’ve had a job before. Several, actually.”
Conner grinned but kept her eyes on the social media feed she was swiping through. “I know but it’s been awhile and I think you like this one which I don’t understand. It’s just books. Has to be boring as fuck.”
“It’s not. More peaceful than boring and the people I work with are cool. So yeah, I do like it.”
“I hate my job and it is boring. There’s nothing fun about balancing other people’s money.”
“I told you not to get a degree in accounting but you’re hardheaded.”
Conner briefly lifted her eyes. “What else was I supposed to do? Math is about all I’m good at.”
“You could teach.”
“Fuck no. Kids are bad as hell these days. I would be unemployed for jacking one of them demon seeds up for saying something slick.”
Cali pulled the Mahogany t-shirt over her head, leaving her in just a matching bra and panty set. She secured the clothes she stripped out of from the floor and dumped them in the hamper before heading to the bathroom to start the shower. When she returned and began shoving around clothes in the closet, Conner set the empty container on a nearby dresser and briefly gave Cali her attention. “You going out?”
“To War’s house.”
“So y’all are cool?” Cali glanced over her shoulder to find Conner grinning bigger than necessary.
“We talked.”
“Don’t just hit me with a ‘we talked’. What did he say and when did you talk?”
“He came by Mahogany while I was on shift. There wasn’t really much to say.”
“Bitch you were almost crying last night because you found out you were lovin’ the crew. There was a lot to say. Why the change of heart?”
“Fuck you,” Cali shot back at her sister with a smile. “And I wasn’t crying. I damn sure wasn’t lovin’ the crew. That implies I was being passed around to multiple people and I wasn’t. I had a past with Merritt and now a future with War.”
“You fucked him in the store, didn’t you?”
“No, I did not.” Cali narrowed her eyes at Conner who shrugged.
“You’re talking a about past with Merritt and future with War, that sounds like fresh up off some dick talk.”
“Well it’s not. But ask me that in the morning and I’ll have a different story.” Cali stuck her tongue out at Conner and entered the bathroom. Again her sister followed, sitting on the toilet while Cali stripped out of what was left of her clothes, pulled on a shower cap, and stepped into the glass enclosure.
“You can come if you want.”
“With you to go get some dick? Uh, no thank you.”
Cali rolled her eyes. “I’m just going to hang out but the night will end with me getting some dick. His house is big though so you can just hang out too instead of being here by yourself.”
Conner stared at her sister and when she didn’t respond, Cali turned her head and met Conner’s eyes. “What?”
