Chapter 1: the compromise begins

"Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate."

I can't help but stare at Chris as he sits back and enjoys a beer with his friends.

I'm so horny, I want to charge right over there and rip his clothes off and sit on his face. Him in that muscle tank isn't making things easy. He just finished playing a game of basketball with JB and the guys and I cheered with him along with Jasmine, Cleo, and Izzy.

I don't know how he's even resisting me in this little cheer uniform. Last time I wore it, we had a serious talk so he couldn't take me in it, either, unfortunately. But I'm determined today.

"—Morgan? Did I lose you?" Mary regained my attention.

Ew. I'm thirsting over this woman's son right in her face. I'm equal parts ashamed and thrilled by the idea of fucking him with so many people around.

Mary's hosting a gathering. It's a Carter's recovery/Chris and I are officially together/Malcolm is dead celebration. Hey, any reason for drinks, am I right?

The guys all sit under the shade of the old tree during a time out.

While Carter and Dale talked shit at the grill, I continue lusting over my own boyfriend.

"Yeah, but Morgan, your life is basically perfect now." Jasmine says, making me question where that came from. I guess I would've known if I was listening.

"Oh, definitely. Now that Malcolm's gone, all I plan on doing is loving and supporting my man." I beam a bright smile and raise my wine cooler.

The girls giggle, toasting to that.

"So, what are you guys to do as far as New York and you getting a job?" Asks Mary.

I've always been a working class idea so the thought didn't horrify me but it's something I hope I'll never have to do again - work for someone. I want to be an entrepreneur, start some businesses to help the community that'll keep me entertained so I'm not playing bored housewife all day, but a nine-to-five was never in the books. Well, not since the small fortune I got from Malcolm.

"Wait. I'm sorry, New York?" I wonder.

"Yeah, Chris was offered a full time position, he'd be crazy not to take it with that salary. We'll get to be together all the time!" Cleo's voice rings in my ear.

"Relax, girl." Jasmine snarls at Cleo who's been a much different person since the night of the reception. I still can't believe Jas and Jabari got married.

Jasmine rolls her eyes, she and Cleo are still competing for the spot of my number one best friend. I put it like this for them, Jasmine is like a sister, Cleo is Chris's friend who will always have a space in my heart. Would I invite her over to hang out with me alone? No. Not before I invited Jasmine, but I would still invite Cleo. We reached a mutual understanding and respect and I can say that she will be one of my bridesmaids in the near future.

"I can't, you're glowing." Izzy notices, making my cheeks blush.

"I'm just, like, so happy, you guys! Chris is perfect, life is perfect. I'm excited for this new chapter." I bubble, showing my dimples as I smile ear-to-ear.
