"How was work?" I asked Kareem as I held my phone up so he could see my face I stared at Kareem as he held his phone showing his side profile I could see his other arm stretched out due to him holding the wheel

"Coo got a new assignment might be out of town this week" I heard his blinker going off I pouted "Ughh your really gonna leave me alone at work" I rolled my eyes Kareem glanced down at me

He looked up at the road and looked at his phone again smirking "You gon miss me"

"No"

Kareem smacked his lips "Man why you always frontin on me" Kareem chuckled "I'm not frontin" I shrugged snuggling under my covers I was ready for bed

Kareem promised to call me after he got off of work he had just finished his recent assignment something about a terrorist lurking the city

Whenever we had separate assignments Kareem never talked about them I was always open about mine but when it came to his he was very closed off about them at times it bothered me but I learned that was just Kareem he was closed off with a lot of things regardless of how close he was to you. Expect maybe Kingston.

"what time you got work tomorrow?" Kareem shifted his car into park turning off his ignition and shifting his attention on to me

"9 in the morning I have training with Ballard" I rolled my eyes Kareem chuckled "See I told you not to flirt with that nigga"

"No you didn't!" I gasped "I most definitely did ma you just don't listen you like learning the hard way" Kareem shook his head my stomach flipped from the pet name he was slowly getting more comfortable with calling me ma

Of course he still called me Bk, Davis, or shorty but ma seemed to be making its way into his vocabulary

"Whatever Kareem"

"Bk you don't remember when we went to Mcdonald's it was like our third time hanging out after our White House assignment and we was in my car"

"mhm" I hummed

"And I told you to stop flirting with that man before you gotten into a situation you ain't want to be in"

I rolled my eyes finally remembering that Kareem did tell me to stop flirting with our Boss not only was it unprofessional but it was going to cause unwanted drama at work

"Yeah" I said dryly Kareem chuckled "Why you can't give me my kudos" Kareem tilted his head as he looked at me "Cause it's going to get to your head" I rubbed my lips together I had vaseline on them, vaseline was my bestfriend before bed

Silence filled both lines as Kareem continued to look at his phone as I did the same you could feel the tension through the phone

"So how about this movie Mr. Carter, still haven't gotten any details" I broke our silence Kareem smirked he tilted his head back on his headrest as he stroked his beard

"Nah I do" He nodded to himself "Well do tell Mr. Carter"

"Nah I rather catch you by surprise"

I smacked my lips Kareem looked back to his phone "You trynna get off the phone orrr" Kareem trailed off "Whatever you want to do sir"

Kareem nodded exiting out his car the phone made static noises as Kareem moved around

After Kareem gotten into his house he sets his phone up in his kitchen as he fixed a glass of water "How many girlfriends have you had?" I asked out the blew

"Two" Kareem answered almost immediately I chuckled Kareem shifted his eyes to his phone with a frown on his face "What's so funny?"

"You, you answered quick as hell" I continued to chuckle Kareem chuckled also before taking a sip of his water
