“He… he what?” She shouts, seeming to deflate and then fill with anger once more.
The next thing I know, she’s yelling at Clark and I hang up. I can tell that she’s going to be busy dealing with her delinquent son. I knew that he was going to run to his mom but I guess I figured that he would wait until his time was up in the apartment.
I turn to head back to my girl when my phone rings again. This time, it’s my mom and I answer it, already knowing that she’s going to ask the same questions as my aunt.
“What happened with Clark?” She asks as soon as I say hello.
“He was doing bad things in the apartment,” I hedge. “I already talked to Aunt Dennie and she’s taking care of it.”
“Hmph.”
“I found her, mom,” I tell her, changing the subject.
“Found who?”
“My girl. Your future daughter in law.”
“What?!” She screams in excitement and I grin.
“I’ll be bringing her by for Sunday dinner if that’s alright with you.”
“Of course, it is! I can’t wait to meet her. What’s her name? What does she do for a living? What’s her favorite food?”
“Her name is Izzy. We’ll talk about the rest on Sunday,” I hedge.
I don’t know the answers to her other questions and it eats at me. I should know everything about my woman. I need to rectify that. Tonight.
“I’ve got to get back to her but we’ll see you Sunday,” I tell my mom.
We say our goodbyes and then I’m hurrying to get back to my Izzy. I’m glad that my business with my cousin seems to be over because I’m going to be busy for the next few days making Izzy mine.
In every way imaginable…

Izzy
I headinto the closet and I’m not even surprised to see Davis’s clothes hanging up in here. His scent is all over the room which was my first clue that this was his bedroom, but it’s more than that.
He seems to be all in with me. I figured that he would want me close by, but now I’m seeing that he put me in his room.
That thought should scare me. It should have me wanting to run out of here, but it doesn’t. Having a man like Davis want me, want to take care of me and love me, feels so surreal. Part of me can’t help but wonder if it’s too good to be true.
Maybe today was so crazy that I’m just losing it. It’s clear that I’m not thinking straight, but as Davis comes back into the room, his hungry eyes finding me instantly, I realize that I don’t want to think straight where he’s involved. I want him to take control, to be in charge of me. I want to see what this thing between us is and where it goes.
“Dinner is done, baby girl,” he says and I nod, letting him take my hand and lead me back toward the kitchen.
Having him touch me, hold my hand, feels as natural as breathing. I’m comfortable around him in a way that I never have been with the opposite sex before. I knew right when I saw him that I was safe with him. It looks like my gut instinct was right in that case. The only one who could hurt me with Davis around, is Davis, but I don’t think that he’s going to be breaking my heart anytime soon. I get the feeling that he would cut out his own heart before hurting mine.
Mary is gathering her things by the front door and she smiles at me.
“Dinner is all set for you two. Just leave the dishes in the sink. I’ll get to them in the morning.”
“Thank you, Mary,” Davis says as he takes a seat and she waves before she heads down in the elevator.
“She seems nice,” I say, about to take the chair next to his when he tugs on my hand.
“Oh!” I gasp as I land in his lap.
