“Just because she came over and played house doesn’t mean she’ll be a good wife. She only did that because…”
“It’s time for you to leave.” Jordan pressed the button for the elevator.
“What? I don’t understand. What about Sean, what are we going to do?”
“We, aren’t going to do anything. You’re going to leave and I’m going to call my brother and see if he and his girlfriend would like to join me and my wife for dinner tonight. At which time, I’m going to tell her how happy and delighted I am she’s in my brother’s life.”
“You’re about as crazy as your wife.”
“Maybe, but I agree with her. It doesn’t take ten years to make up your mind about the woman you love.” The elevator dinged and he ushered Chris inside and pressed the button. “Bye, Chris.”
“Jordan.”
He watched as the door closed and the elevator glided down. He reached into his pocket for his phone and pressed the preset number. “Hey little bro.”
“Hey, what’s up?”
“Let me speak to Kyla.”
“He wants to talk to you.” He handed her the phone.
“Hello.”
“I’m calling to invite you and Sean to dinner tonight with me and Zoë.”
“Let me check with Sean, hold on.” She covered the speaker. “He wants to take us to dinner tonight.” Sean smiled and nodded. “That’ll be great.”
“Good. I’ll text Sean with the details. Bye.”
“Bye…oh hold on.” She handed Sean the phone.
“Thanks.”
Chapter 61
KYLA RAN INTO THE HALL and grabbed the phone before it rang a third time. She picked up the receiver and answered. “Hi Jerome.”
“Sean is on his way up. How long have you been with him?”
“None of your business, Jerome.”
“By my count it’s been over six months. Good for you.”
“Thank you, Jerome.”
“So when are you two gonna put a ring on it?”
“Good bye, Jerome.”
She hung up the phone and smiled. “Marriage, I don’t think so.” She went back into her bedroom and closed the door.
Sean stood at the door fumbling with his key. He patted his jacket pocket where he had the ring box. Tonight would be a good night to pop the question. He thought about going inside and asking Kyla right before they left. He smiled at the thought of going to dinner with her wearing the ring and announcing they were engaged. He smiled and walked inside.
“Ky…Ky.” He closed the door and Winnie came running up to him. “Hey there Winnie. Where’s your mommy?” He rubbed her neck and walked into the kitchen. “Babe,” he called out. A few seconds later, the sound of stilettos hurriedly tapping across the hardwood floor came towards the kitchen. “Babe.”
“Yes.” She stood next to the counter putting her earrings on.
He turned around. “Wow, you look, wow.”
