Balor.

“You’re meeting the best friend?”

“Yeah and no.”

“What you mean no?” He laughed, already knowing what the hell I meant.

“You’re not meeting or fucking her best friend.”

“Why not?”

“Because you’ll fall in love with her pussy and fall out with her.”

“You fucked her best friend?”

“Bruh, no.”

“Then how do you know what parts of her I’m going to fall in love with?”

“I know you. That’s how you move and I’m not trying to have my lady at war with you so no, to all of it. Get that shit out of your head.”

“Aight damn,” he said with a laugh. “You nervous?”

“No, why would I be?”

“This is real, Bee. You don’t meet family and friends. That’s more my thing.”

“I don’t have to be nervous. I’ve shown up for Keiris as the man I am and I’m going to show up to meet her friend as that same man. I’m a gotdamn catch.” I smirked and he chuckled.

“You’re aight, nigga. Simmer down a little.”

“Nah, can’t do that. I know what I bring to the table and so does she.”

“But she is the table, Bee. This is new territory for you.”

“It is but I’m ready. Ten toes down ready.”

“That’s what’s up. Happy for you, Bee.”

“’Preciate ya but let me go so I can head out.”

“You sure you don’t want me to fall through with you?”

“Positive. That’s the kind of problem I don’t want or need.”

“You’re a fucking hater, Trouble.”

“Call me whatever the fuck you want, the answer is still no.”

I heard him laughing before the call ended. I tucked my phone into my pocket and left my house ready to face the firing squad.

Dinner went well. I ordered so that neither of the ladies had to invest time or money to make sure we were fed. Three surf and turf meals with steaks grilled to perfection from Redmond’s.

After dinner we settled in the living room for drinks while I was blessed with the privilege of watching Dreeya and Keiris interact. The two were more like sisters than friends and I loved that she had someone so solid in her life.

I could tell the two of them loved each other based on their back and forth and stories about their friendship over the years that didn’t present either in a favorable light. They didn’t seem to shy away from allowing me a peek at their history.
