"You looked so heavenly tonight miss"
Davion called out to LADY RED as she was being escorted to her car by security.
There he was, leaning against the back of his Jet black 2021 Dodge Challenger.
LADY RED slowed down her pace as she approached her car. She dropped her belongings on the ground and walked over to Davion, as security watched from a distance. Once she felt things out, she motioned to security that she was good and they quickly packed up her bags in the back of her Red 2021 Ford explorer.
"How long have you been waiting out here for me?"
You could hear the attitude in her voice.
"I thought we had some unfinished business miss"
Davion replied as he eyed the wad of money poking out of her see through bra.
LADY RED looked down at the cash and back up at his inquiring eyes.
"Oh. You mean this?"
She took the money out of her bra and moved in closer to Davion.
"You can have this back. I won't be needing it."
LADY RED held the money out towards Davion's chest.
Davion eased up off the back of his Challenger, leaving no space between them.
"Look, like I told you earlier, I'm not interested in getting anything from you BUT your precious time. I know if you wasn't fucking with me, you wouldn't have told your security to leave you out here with me alone"
"Davion... I just can't... Not like this..."
LADY RED shook her head as she struggled to gather her thoughts.
A million & one things were running through her mind. It was just something about this man standing in front of her that had her battling between her mind and her heart. She took a couple steps back but Davion once again moved in closer, this time, making sure LADY RED couldn't get away.
"It's just me and you right now miss. No bullshit. What's on your mind?"
LADY RED gave Davion a look.
"No bullshit?"
He nodded his head.
"You have my word miss"
LADY RED sighed.
"Davion... I've been through some unspeakable things in my past. At first, stripping was an escape for me. But now I look at it as survival. As soon as I'm done with school, I'm leaving the game for good. I want to do better for myself. I know I deserve better than this and I've been real good at keeping myself out of situations that could mess with what I've worked so hard for. I let lust & love rob me blind before. I'm not about to fall for the same shit again... I just can't"
LADY RED stuffed the wad of cash in her jacket pocket, fighting back her tears. Davion stepped in and wiped the corners of her eyes, comforting her.
"You don't even have to explain yourself to me miss. I just want you to trust me. I promise I'm not here to hurt you or fuck up anything good in your life. If anything, I'm trying to be a bonus."
Looking off into the distance, LADY RED avoided locking eyes with Davion.
This dude is for real. Not once has he tried to make a move on me. I can't remember the last time a nigga held me like he's holding me right now. He's just not going to let up... and I'm finally giving in.
"Okay..."
LADY RED whispered as she embraced Davion in a hug.
For some reason, LADY RED felt safe with him. She looked up at Davion, studying his face.
"Only for a night Davion" she reminded him.
"That's all I'll need miss. Now get in. I'll have my boys drive your car back to my penthouse suite. I want you all to myself from start to finish"
And just like that, It was Davion and LADY RED.
