Dymon Danger
After watchingQuinciwalk into the elevator, I gave Bernard the signal to drive off.As he waited to pull out into the crowded street, I felt him staring a hole in the side of my head. I was sure that he had more questions than I had answers. How could I explain to him that this was the second time I’d attempted to cockblock Quinci by using him to do it? The first time, when I saw her walking in that café to meet with her ex. I didn’t know why. And now, when Igot word that she was at a lounge with an acquaintance of mine, and her ass was talking about she was on a date.
I was on the phone with Tyra, heading home, when I got a text fromMalik Jefferson, or Jeff,as most peoplecalled him,telling me how beautiful my assistant wasand that he was about to invite her to Chokers. That nigga didn’t even ask if I was busting that down or nothing. Told me he was inviting her. If I would’ve told him that was my girl, he probably would’ve mentioned it and then she would’ve shut theshitdown, making me look like a corny, loser ass nigga, and I couldn’t have that.
The only thing left to do was totry and frustrate her until I could get to her.Her work phone has its location turned on, so it was easy to find her.No, it wasn’t turned on to stalk her or nothing like that. The Kog system hadvery sensitive information in it, and I wouldn’t want the phone to fall in the wrong hands.
“You know I’m waiting on you to start talking. You look like youare bustingat the seams.”
I shook my head while looking out the window.
“Twice today, Dymon.”
“Uh-huh.”
“She didn’t look drunk to me.”
“I know, Bernard.” I hissed.
“Just trying to figure out what’s going on. That’s all.”
“This shit crazy,” I said while shaking my head.
“What is?”
“The hating assshitI did today. Wondering if she was about tofuckher ex in the bathroom of that café was giving measlight anxietyattack. Knowing that an acquaintance could choke her before I do is just… I don’t know, man.This shitcrazy. I just don’t want her tofucknobody in my circle. That’s all.”
“Hmm.”
“And did you see her in those jeans? Don’t answer that. You, like, old enough to be my dad, so that would look creepy. She twenty-four.”
“Hmm.”
Looking at him, he was staring out the window with his eyebrows furrowed together.
“Can you do something other than hum?Once again, Diesel was right. This is probably getting ready to turn into a soap opera. You ain’t see the way dude was looking at her as she walked up the stairs. In a trance.This shitcrazy.”
“I’m going to say this, as respectfully as possible, and with all the love in the world.”
“Okay, what? Say it.”
“Fire the young lady and have sex with her. It’s been killing you all week.”
My shoulders slumped. “She’s actually the most competent assistant I’ve had in a while. So, I honestly don’t want to fire her. I’d be a hypocrite if Ifuckedher, man. You know how many people I’ve let go forthat rule, man. How would that look? Every time I tell myself I’mgoing to chill, sheopensupthat pretty ass mouth, saying something smart, and I’m back worked up.”
“And why are you so worked up?”
“I think it’s because she’s not throwing it at melike I’m used to. And she’s the type of woman who knows she’s a bad assbitch, respectfully. She knows that she doesn’t have to throw it at a nigga for them to want to catch it. I think that’s where I’m at with it.Plus, thatpretendinnocent assshitshe bedoing and saying. I’m sure it’s all an act. Them be the girls who be sitting on someshitthat’ll make you lose your mind.”
“You trying to have your mind lost?”
“Did you see the way she looked at me? Like she wanted to kiss me or something. That’s the innocentshitI’m talking about.”
He chuckled.“Am I taking you to your usual Friday night appointment?”
“Nah, I’m going home.”
“Okay.”
