“You ready?”
“Oh, I get a vote.” She grinned amusedly and he chuckled.
“Yeah you get a vote but I’m making the final call tonight. I’m tired as fuck. Let me go say my piece really quick and we can leave.”
War pulled away from Cali and headed to JB. He allowed him to finish his conversation before he interjected. “Yo, we’re about to head out.”
“Aight, I appreciate you pulling up.”
“You knew I was gonna support. This is good shit. You did your thing. ’Bout time you did some shit worth something.”
JB’s smile expanded on a chuckle. “Fuck you, nigga. I’ve excelled all my life. Same hustle, just a little different venue.”
“I feel you, but real shit, I’m proud of you, fam. I can’t wait to see how far you take this shit but right now, I’m about to take my ass to the house. I’ll get with you soon.” JB nodded in approval and War turned to walk away when a body cut off his path. A body he was intimately familiar with wearing a tight dress.
“Hey.”
“Sup?”
“I’ve been here all night and you haven’t said one word to me. You didn’t see me?”
His deadly expression surfaced because there was no point in the conversation. “Yeah, I’ve seen you.”
He had seen Shalece watching his every move with a look of displeasure on her face all night. Several times she even came close but pride wouldn’t allow her to be the first one to speak. He assumed she gave up on saving face which was why she was in his now.
“You couldn’t speak.”
“I could have but didn’t. Which should have been enough to understand what type of time I was on with you.”
“Who is she?”
Cali.
“None of your business.”
“You don’t bring people out, so she must be important.”
“Again, not your business.”
“It is my business if she’s the reason why you ignored me all night.”
“You know me right, Lece?”
“I thought I did, but maybe I don’t.
“You know enough, so let me ask you this, when has anyone ever had a say in what I do?”
Her expression shifted, providing the answer.
“Exactly. I didn’t speak to you because I didn’t fucking want to. Am I confused about the interactions we’ve had or are you?”
Her expression dropped when his eyes lowered to hers.
When she didn’t respond he added, “Have a good evening, Shalece,” then stepped around her.
He felt eyes heavy on him. When he returned to where Conner and Cali were waiting and attempted to pull Cali into his side, as expected, she curved him.
“You want to tell me what that conversation was about?” Cali asked. She peeped game. Based on the exchange and the woman’s body language, the two were familiar.
