I stared at the text, not knowing what to say. I did agree to be his fake girlfriend, but I didn’t think my role would start so fast.
Titan: You’re thinking too much. Let me take you out... I’ll be on my best behavior... I promise ????.
I cackled because this nigga didn’t know anything about being on his best behavior. That’s why he’s in this shit now.
I’m off tonight, so I guess I can do that. Where do you want me to meet you?
I saw the dialogue bubble pop up, letting me know he was typing.
Titan: Don’t play with me, Tink. I’ll pick you up at 7. Where something sexy ??.
This nigga.
I don’t know about all that, but I’ll see you at 7.
I closed my text thread and went to Nae’s contact.
What time do you get off today?
While I waited for her to text me back, I went into my room to find something to wear tonight. I didn’t feel the need to go overboard, but I did want to look nice and own up to my role. I heard my phone ding while I was rummaging through my dresses.
Nae Bae ????: My last appointment is at 3 so I should be out of here no later than 4-4:.....0…wassup.
Titan asked me on a date tonight and told me to wear something sexy.
I bet her eyes were popping out of her head at my revelation. Instead of calling, she FaceTime’d me.
“Bitch, are you for real?” She damn squealed.
“Could you calm down and yes, I’m for real. You think I should go?”
Nae knew all about our arrangement, so she knew what I was dealing with.
“What do you mean, should you go? If you don’t... I will. Besides, going on this date will solidify your agreement, and he’ll go ahead and pay your tuition.” She shrugged.
“He already paid the tuition. I got the email right before I left campus,” I informed.
Nae’s damn eyes almost popped out her head when I said that.
“Well, bitch, you answered your own question. Yes, you should go on this date probably suck some dick, too.” She gawked.
I just shook my head because it was no use in trying to get her to have some sense.
“Bye, fool. Let me go find something to wear on this date.”
“Mhm... go touch that kitty up, too. She might get smacked on too... you never know.”
We both fell out laughing, and I hung up on her ignorant ass. She always thought about somebody fucking on something, and that was the farthest thing from my mind. Titan had entirely too much going on for me to get caught up in his lifestyle, but a deal is a deal, and I needed to do my part. I just hope I don’t regret this shit later.
***
I was currently in my room losing my damn mind. Nae was on FaceTime trying to help calm my nerves, but that shit wasn’t working. I already let her talk me into wearing this short ass dress, but the copper color did look good against my warm bronze complexion.
“Bitch, look good as fuck. Titan might fuck around and forget that all this is for play-play,” she laughed, and I joined in.
“You get on my damn nerves. I’m not trying to give him any ideas. I just want to make sure I look convincing enough.” I turned from side to side, going over my appearance for what was probably the millionth time.
“Cady, please. You look good and you know it. Fake or not... that nigga should be honored to be seen with you tonight. I’ve seen the hoes he’s been caught with, and you, my girl, are definitely great for his image,” Nae praised, and I nodded.
