Chapter 2

“What the hell are you doing?” Kenya snapped at Niyah, after Rashad had taken Josiah out to the pool area, where the men were waiting for dinner, along with the children.

Niyah went about prepping some garlic bread. “Hosting dinner.”

“Why is Mr. Webber here?”

“Oh, I saw him when I was leaving today, and he said hello. He’s so nice…”

“Niyah.”

After putting the bread in the oven, she turned to Kenya.

“Look, you’ve been on this Man Ban long enough. Mr. West isn’t worth all this.” Niyah told her.

“What? I’ve dated quite a few men after Andre…and found them all lacking.”

Niyah shrugged. “Well, maybe you’ve been dating the wrong ones.”

“I think that’s clear, Mrs. Miller. Otherwise, I’d be Mrs. Somebody by this time.” Kenya pointed out.

“Mr. Webber might be different.”

Niyah frowned. “He works at the school.”

“Yes, I know. So do I…” Niyah said, starting a salad to go with the meal.

“You know I’m not doing that again.”

Niyah paused. “It’s not the school. It’s the men.”

“Why Mr. Webber?” Kenya asked.

“Because you’re attracted to him…and don’t deny it.”

Kenya stared at her. “And what does that mean?”

Niyah began making points with her fingers. “One, he’s nice. Two, he’s fine. Three, he’s very smart. Four, he’s exactly your type. Five…

“Okay, damn!”

“I could go on.” Niyah told her, and walked over to where she stood. “Kenya, you can’t take your ball and go home because you struck out a few times.”

“I don’t want to do this again, Niyah.”

Niyah hugged her. “Okay, if Mr. Webber is an asshole like Andre, then I’ll let you die an old maid.”

Kenya pulled away. “Really Niyah?”

“I’m just trying to make you laugh. I want you to be happy.”

“I should’ve just married your brother.” Kenya teased.

“Don’t say that around Sydney, Leslie or C.K.” Niyah warned.

Now Kenya did laugh. “You’re still so sensitive about Curt.”

“And always will be…” Niyah told her, before going back to the salad. “Now back to you.”

“What about me?”

Niyah sighed. “Just be open, Kenya.”

The room was silent for a moment, then Kenya said, “I might…”

“You know he’s worth a try.” Niyah smiled.

“Maybe…if he’s interested.”

Niyah fanned a hand. “Don’t play. You know how to get a man’s interest.”

“Hmmm…but keeping it is the key.”

“You’re the one who dumps them, Kenya.”

Kenya smirked. “Because they show their asses…”

“Mr. Webber has been at the school for over six months and hasn’t approached one woman.” Niyah told her.

“Maybe he has one outside of the Bantu Academy?”

“Maybe he doesn’t?” Niyah countered. “You can at least test the waters.”

Kenya looked thoughtful. “Maybe, I’ll just stick in a toe and feel the temperature.”

Both women laughed, then finished the preparations. The dinner was festive with good food and conversation had by all. When Kenya prepared to leave, Josiah also declared it was time for him to depart.

“Thank you all so much for your hospitality.” He told Niyah and Rashad.

“Thank you for coming,” Niyah replied. “We’re all family at the Bantu Academy.”

Kenya hugged the couple, then said goodbye to Chris and headed out the door with Josiah behind her. At her car, she stopped as he approached.
