“Sweetness, twenty minutes ago, you said you’d be ready in five minutes. What are you doing in here?”

I’d arrived at Rasheeda’s house about thirty minutes ago. Tonight, we were having dinner with Maurice and his wife, Pasha. When he brought the idea to me, I was hesitant because of Pasha’s friendship with Gwen. Ultimately, I agreed because Maurice was one of my closest friends, and since Rasheeda was my woman, it was only a matter of time before her and Pasha would meet. Hopefully, Pasha would get to know Rasheeda before judging her based on what I’m sure Gwen had already shared.

When I entered her room, she was posing in front of her full-length mirror. I hadn’t seen her since I’d arrived, and was pleased with the view.

“Damn, baby. You know it’s just dinner and maybe a jazz lounge afterward, right?”

She was wearing a fitted black dress that stopped about two inches above her knees and a pair of black red bottom heels. To be honest, there was nothing special about the dress itself, but she looked so damn good in it.

“I know, but I want to make a good impression on your friends.”

“Do you really care that much about what they think? Because as much as I love them, if they’re not rocking with you, it’s gon’ be a problem for them, not us.”

“I care enough to not want you to have to choose between me and them,” she explained.

“Never doubt I’d choose you, sweetness. There’s no question about it.”

“I don’t want you to, though. Don’t get me wrong, baby. If they genuinely don’t like me, fuck them. I realize the people in your life are used to seeing you with Gwen, so this may be weird for them.”

“I don’t think you have anything to worry about, but you know where I stand,” I assured her.

“Okay, I’m ready.”

She whisked past me, and I followed her out of the bedroom. It was mid-March, and the temperature outside was still cold. After helping her with her coat, I put mine back on, and we were finally on our way.

“Is Brynn still giving you her ass to kiss?” Rasheeda asked as I entered the expressway.

I gave Brynn her car keys back about a week ago. Thankfully, Otis was able to pull some strings, and she could forget she was ever arrested. When I told her the news, my daughter blocked my personal and work phone numbers. My first thought was to cut her cell phone off, but that was still my baby girl, and I couldn’t do that to her. Michael was keeping tabs on her and reporting back to me, so it was all good. Little did Brynn know she would need me before I needed her, so I let her be… for now.

“Last I checked, she was, but it’s only been a week.”

“Yeah, but that has to hurt. Maybe you should pay her a surprise visit on campus just to let her know regardless of how she feels about the way you handled that situation, you’re still her father, and you love her.
