“Girl, sit down while I get yousome water.”
She kicked off her shoes and sat crossed-legged on the couch.When I went in the fridge, I grabbed a bottle of water and a can of Ginger-ale. I opened the pantry and scanned it until I found some Saltine crackers.
“Aww, are you like this with every guest you entertain?”
“Ask what you really want to ask, Quinci.”
I popped the cap on the water bottle and handed it to her before sittingnext to her.
She took a few sips of the water and looked at me. “Are you like this with every woman you entertain?”
“As you can see,I’m a different person here than I am at work. Women are going to have a good time with me, whether it’s aone-nightstand ora weekend or aone-weekthing.That’s it. That’s all. The last time I entertained a woman wastwo weeks before I met you.”
“Oh, I guess.” She took another gulp of water.“Just being in your business, that’s all.”
I grabbedthesleeve of her shirt, pulling her in my lap.
“Oh! You’regonnamake me waste the water,” she squealed.
“It’s just water.” Lying her across my lap, I wrapped my arms around her. “If it makes you feel better, Princess, I’ve nevereaten fruit off a pussy before… or wore a dick ring or sucked onKegelballs before.”
“Hmm. Never know with you. Can we watch a movie or something? What’s your favorite genre?”
“Thriller. Horror. Suspense.”
She turned her nose up. “Of course.You know I am a RomCom girl.I like sappy love stories.”
“You know life is not a sappy love story, though, right?”
She closed her eyes and sighed. “Mr. Dymon, I will not let you steal this moment from us with your negativity. Turn the TV on so we can settle on a movie.Don’t forget, I’m sick.” She faked a cough.
I laughed. “You arehilarious, woman. Watch out.”
When she moved out of my lap,I reached and grabbed the remote from the table.I turned the TV on andwent to the streaming services.
“You want some snacks or something? I can call down and get us something prepared.”
“‘Call down and get us something prepared.’ Your professional voice is very sexy.”
“What don’t you think is sexy about me?”
“Um. I have a whole list. Would you like for me to—”
“‘Princess, I will not let you steal this moment from us with your negativity.’”
She laughed. “No, youasked,andI answered. I was about to tell you about yourself too.”
I waved her off while laughing.

ThatEvening
It was aftersix,and Quinci was lying in my lap sleeping. We’d watched two movies; The Quiet Place and Crazy Rich Asians, a horror and what she called a rom-com because we couldn’t agree on just one movie.She covered her eyes through most of the movie, and I thought it was cute.
Then it happened.
It was duringthe Crazy Rich Asians wedding scene.
