“Yeah. I keep getting these unknown calls, but I haven’t answered them.”
That gave me pause because it could have been her ex, but I was glad that she hadn’t answered.
“And you have no idea who it could be?”
“No. I have my suspicions, but I honestly don’t want to find out. The people who should have my number, have it.”
I searched her face, but I didn’t even know what I was looking for.
“Everyone except me,” I joked. I realized the night before I didn’t have her phone number, and I told myself I would change that before the day was over. “If you ever find out it’s him and you feel uncomfortable, please let me know.”
“I will, and you’re right; you don’t have my phone number. I think we should change that.”
I reached into my pocket and pulled my phone out. Mycah put her number in my phone, then called hers so she could have mine.
“Don’t hesitate to use my number whenever you need to.” I paused and gazed at her lips. “If I could, I would kiss you right now.”
Her cheeks rose as she looked around.
“Too bad you can’t, because I would have let you.”
“Soon. Do you have plans tomorrow night?”
She put her finger to her chin and tapped it. A playful grin spread across her face.
“Well, this police guy asked me out, but he never said when, so I guess not.” She shrugged.
“I guess he playing games, so are you able to go on a date with me tomorrow?” I leaned close, but not too much. I had to be mindful of the people outside of my office.
The angels sang when she smiled and said, “Yes, Kairo.”
She had already agreed on the date, but for some reason, solidifying it made it feel more special.
“We can talk later this evening. Let’s get some more of this shit done.”
Her eyes swung over to the papers, then back to me.
“You’re right. We got our work cut out for us. What the hell did you and the other girl do? Wait! Don’t answer that,” she said as she shook her head and laughed.
“You have the cutest laugh, you know that?”
“I don’t. I like how you didn’t address what I said.”
I tilted my head to the side and stared at her.
“Didn’t you tell me not to?”
“Whatever, Kairo.”
I laughed because I felt like she wanted to know, but at the same time, she didn’t. I knew I wouldn’t want to hear about some shit she did in the past.
We were able to get a good amount of work done over the next few hours before we parted ways. I couldn’t wait to talk to her later when I didn’t have to watch what I had to say.
It was date night,and I was nervous. This date would determine if all the flirting Kairo and I did was for nothing or not. We might get to the date and realize that maybe we really didn’t like each other, but I honestly didn’t see that happening. It was always good vibes whenever we talked with or without people around. I wasn’t sure what would happen after the date, but I couldn’t worry about that. I needed to live in the moment.
While I got ready, I talked to Chanel so she could help me decide on a dress.
“Okay, we have this dress.” I stepped back from the camera so she could see it.
