“Oh okay. I’m sorry that happened to you. Did they say anything else about it?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t logged in at all today. They had the nerve to send it to my email. Mind you that I was in the office when they sent the email.”

“Cowards.”

“Yes. I thought one of the typical nosey coworkers said something but she said that it wasn’t her. I don’t trust none of them.”

“I wouldn’t either. They’re full of shit. I hope things get better.”

“I do too. Today is Tuesday, I think and I’m thinking about taking a leave of absence until I feel safe to go back.”

“If it’s paid. Take it off. They need to be taught a lesson for being childish as hell.”

“Exactly. Assholes.”

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Maverick kicked the door since both of his hands were full.

“I’ll get it.”

Brinley smiled. “Who is it?”

“Open the door.”

“Raise your voice again and I’m not opening the door. Hand me the goodies and gone about your business.”

Brinley laughed. She got up and walked into the kitchen. Who knew that these two men would bring me so much joy while my best friend is halfway across the world? I didn’t.

“About time. Let me get the food and you can leave. My friend and I will like to thank you for your service.”

“If you don’t get out of my damn face,” he laughed.

“Clowning with you gives me so much joy.”

Brinley looked on from the kitchen.

“Where is my lady at anyway? I’m tired of looking at your dusty ass.”

“She’s sleeping. I put her to bed early.”

Maverick walked past him and into the house. “Brinley, where are you?”

“Open your eyes and come this way. Follow my voice.”

“Why did you let him open the door?”

“Because he told me that I was a lady and that I didn’t need to,” she lied.

“Oh, shit. Y’all getting a little too cozy for me.”

“Whatever. You heard what the lady said,” he played along. “What did you get to eat because I’m starving.”

“And you’re going to eat that outside by yourself.”

“No, the hell I’m not. I’m eating at this nice wooden dining room table. I don’t know who told you that I eat outside. I’m not an animal.”

“Damn.”

“What did you get us?” Brinley smiled.

“Hibachi. I hope you like that.”

“I’ve never had it.”

“What?”

“Yes, I’ve never had it. What’s wrong with that?”

“Oh, nothing.”

“You’re missing out on one of the best meals. I love Hibachi. Quick and reasonable.”

“So, I’m a cheap date? Maverick am I a cheap date?”

Silence.

“Answer the damn question, Maverick. Is she a cheap date?”

“No ma’am. I thought since it was going to be the three of us and not two that I would get something quick. Do you like soy sauce?”

“I do. Is it like Chinese food?”

“Nothing like it,” Kendall chimed in.

“Man, I wish you would get your meal and leave.”

“I am once you give it to me.”

“All of them are the same. I also got an extra one with shrimp if anybody wants some of that one.”

“So, what did you get?”

“Hibachi chicken with rice with all of the vegetables.
