“Hey sleepy head. Go get dressed,” Kevin said as he nudged her awake.
“I really don’t feel like going anywhere tonight.” Cheryl answered as she turned over.
“Aw, come on. We will have fun.” He said to her back. “That’s ok. Besides, I have a headache anyway.”
“See that’s a good reason to get out of the house. You are always saying I don’t take you anywhere, and then see what happens when I try. You don’t want to go,” Kevin said while standing upright, “I’m not going to beg your ass.” He said as he walked towards the bathroom.
“Ok, dang, I will go.” She said as she turned over and caught a glimpse of him before he shut the door.
“Well, don’t be so damn happy about it.” He said from behind the door. He came out of the bathroom and saw her standing at her closet and wished he could withdraw the invite but he had already made a big deal out of it, so he went to his office while he waited for her to be ready.
Kevin was in his office talking to Black.
“She acts like this is the end of the world,” he said into the phone. “That would be cool if it were true. Every time I go out of town she acts this way. You would think she would know by now to just stop asking me. Anyway, I didn’t call you to talk about this. I’m calling your late ass, so you know to be on time at the airport.” his laughter filled the room like an echo in the Grand Canyon.
“Whateva, Nigga, you always the last one to board. Don’t get left. This meeting is too important for you not to be there. When this deal happens, K & B Alliance will be on the map. Look I’ll talk to you later. I’m going to take her out so I can keep her damn mouth closed until I get back.” Kevin hung up the phone and took a swig from his glass and leaned back in his leather chair and closed his eyes. He had worked on building up this company and now it was paying off.
