SATURDAY MORNING

Chasity's place

Chasity pulled into the driveway of her one story home in Doral, Florida.

It was a smooth drive from Davion's penthouse in Brickell to her side of town.

She stopped by there after work to check up on things.

She hadn't seen Davion or his crew in the crowd last night and that wasn't like him.

She quickly checked her phone as she exited her vehicle but still hadn't received any messages or calls from him yet.

I knew it was too good to be fucking true. He definitely won't be hearing from me.

She slid her cellphone in her black Telfar bag and focused her attention elsewhere.

"Gooood morning mami! It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood"

Chasity's next door neighbor Hugo excitedly called out to her. He was lounging in his front yard on his hammock sipping a cold Mexican beer and till this day she didn't know why; he had a backyard with plenty of space to hang out at but yet he always seemed to be conveniently around when she got home from a shift, ready to talk her ear off like he didn't have a family to look after.

Here we fucking go... Chasity took a deep breath.

"Morning Hugo"

She flashed him a fake smile, hoping that their interaction was going to be a short one. She hurriedly closed the door and worked her way around to the back of her Ford Explorer.

"Did you have a good night at your work?"

"Mhmmm. How's the wifey doing? And the kids"

Chasity trying to change the subject.

"They are good..."

Hugo's voice trailed off as he checked her out from behind. The way he said good gave Chasity the chills. He definitely wasn't talking about his family anymore.

Tezla Suarez, Hugo's wife, surprisingly popped her head outside the house just in time to catch him staring over at Chasity. She threw a slipper at his head, knocking him out of his daze. Before he could react, Hugo flipped out of the hammock onto the lawn with his beer in hand.

"Hugo Francisco Diego Suarez! Come inside now!"

She yelled after him at the top of her lungs before slamming the door behind her. He quickly got up and scurried inside to deal with his angry wife, mumbling something in Spanish all the way inside.

Looks like I'll be ordering in today... Chasity thought to herself as she shook her head.

It was always something going on with those crazy Mexicans. She'll probably kick him out by lunch and he'll be back home by dinner. Nothing new.

She popped the back of her Ford Explorer to grab her belongings and was surprised to find a black book bag that wasn't there before.

What the fuck?

Inside was $500,000 cash money, a check for the same amount and a note that read:

What's mine is yours and I want you to enjoy every bit of it... whether I'm near or far ~ DM

This guy...

Davion managed to gain access in her vehicle and leave her what she's assuming is a "I'm sorry" gift. But how could he do all of this without her security knowing? Chasity was confused.

All she could do was shake her head and grab the rest of her things out the trunk.

Once inside her home, she immediately sent Davion a text: she definitely had time today.

Chasity: I think I should start calling you Master of Disguise because you always got a new trick up your sleeve. You don't show up to the club but you got time to break into my car Davion...

Davion: I guess it's safe to say that my gift to you found you well?

Chasity: It did and I'm about ready to return to sender. Do I need to call the authorities?

Davion: No need to. You deserve it beautiful. I don't know how else to show you that I'm serious. I apologize for not seeing you last night.

Chasity: And why couldn't you see me last night? That's not like you

Davion: I will explain everything when you accompany me tonight

Chasity: Really? What if I already had plans

Davion: Well do you?

Chasity: Just tell me where I'm going...

Davion: Don't worry about that beautiful. Get some rest. I'll send a car to you later around 9pm

Chasity got up from her lounge chair and headed towards her bedroom, with Davion weighing heavy on her mind.

What does this man have planned now?

She sent a text to Erica letting her know what was up before plugging up her cell phone to charge and got ready to take a relaxing hot shower that would put her right to sleep until it was time to see Davion later.
