The three bubbles appeared and then disappeared. Then reappeared again.
Kyenna: Not tonight you won’t
Me: We’ll see
Kyenna: No. We won’t.
As I was heading back to Nikki’s, Pops called and told me to stop by Royal Flush. Kyenna asked him to go over the new security for the back entrance with Grif. Why he was sending me when she asked him, I wasn’t sure. I wasn’t going to complain about too much security around Kyenna. This was my chance to convince her ass to let me come over tonight to grab my watch. I walked through the employee entrance and headed towards the back. Grif met me halfway.
“You want me to show you the camera placement first or the new door access?”
“Door first. If somebody can get through the damn door, the camera just records us gettin’ robbed,” I told him.
We spent twenty minutes going over the changes before Grif signed off on what needed to be ordered. I was about to leave and just talk to Kyenna later because Nikki had called twice, when I heard Jaharee’s laugh coming from Kyenna’s office. Then I heard another voice. A voice that irritated my fucking soul. I took the steps two at a time and the door was already open, which is I why I could hear them so clearly. Kyenna was sitting behind her desk with papers spread out in front of her. Jaharee was stretched out across the sofa scrolling on her phone, and Lloyd was standing beside Kyenna pointing at something on the paperwork. Too muthafuckin’ close for my liking.
“Damn, Lloyd, you got an employee badge now?” I busted in.
All three of them looked up at me.
“Nah, Kyenna’s benefit package isn’t competitive enough.” He laughed.
Kyenna’s ass laughed right along with him, and she even gave that nigga a light tap on his arm. I, on the other hand, didn’t find shit funny.
“Seems to me she pays you enough already.”
“Umm, are you in our business?” Kyenna asked.
“I’m just sayin’.”
My sister’s eyes moved between us before she went back to her phone. At least I thought she did. Lloyd gathered the papers and handed them to Kyenna.
“I’ll have the final copy to you by lunch tomorrow. And I’ll see you Wednesday.”
Fuck he mean, Wednesday?
“Wednesday?” I asked.
“Yes. Wednesday,” Kyenna said with a straight face.
“For what?”
“Why?” Kyenna leaned back in her chair.
“Ain’t you got a meetin’ Wednesday?”
“What meeting?” She challenged.
“I thought you said you had a meeting with a new vendor,” I lied.
“I think I know my own schedule better than you. Lloyd and I have a lunch date.”
Jaharee shot back up from her phone. Lloyd looked between the two of us but was smart enough not to say anything.
“Lunch, huh?”
“Is there anything else you need?” she asked, staring at me.
She had me so heated I wanted to pull my gun and spray the whole muthfuckin’ office, but my sister was in here, and she was staring me right in the damn face.
