SUMMER~
Los Angeles, CA
I sipped on my strawberry Acai refresher, while watching the various of sketches flash across the projected screen. Shaking my head 'yes' or 'no' to approve the ones that caught my eye and pass on the others. I was supposed to take these last two weeks of personal time to myself but I couldn't help it I even snuck in two clients today for a Music Festival. The stage time wasn't until later today so I had enough time considering the fact that it was only 10am and I had their fits sent out to their hotels. Meaning I would only show up to alter anything if needed.
"SuSu!" I heard Nikole's voice getting closer to my office.
"Didn't I tell you to stop calling me that?" I rolled my eyes and paused the presentation before cutting the lights on.
"Auntieee" Kayla jumped out of her chair to run to Nikole.
"I'm sorry every since I seen the comments of people calling you Susu I can't stop saying it" Nikole sat down the bouquet of flowers she was holding, so she could pick up Kayla. "Oh these are for you. The receptionist was going to bring them back but I said I'll bring them to you. I can't believe you have a receptionist now, you fancy huh?"
Pulling the flowers closer to me I inspected them and smiled because you could never go wrong with gifting me some flowers I would always accept them. Looking at the card that were attached to the flowers I moved my chair back away from the table since Dylan was on my lap reaching for them. After reading the message I continued to stare at the card.
"What's wrong?" Nikole came to the other side of the table and observed the card.
"The initial at the bottom is 'D'" I squinted my eyes and started to think about the conversations I've had within the past few days.
"Okay what's wrong with that?"
I laughed "The problem is I don't know if they are from Demetrius or Duke."
"Ohhh.. wait a damn minute" Nikole side eyed me. "I thought you said that you cut Duke off after our family trip"
"I did..well I kind of just told him we just really needed to keep it at a friend level" I wanted to completely cut him off but I felt as if we've already bonded and I didn't mind keeping him around as a friend. Although I'm not sure if he knew what I meant because I felt like he would still flirt with me and drop hints.
"Mommy who's Duke?" Kayla looked at the flowers and then back me. Leaving me with a dumbfounded look on my face while thinking of something to say.
Nikole chuckled "It's actually a school. A really good college Duke University it's not better than an hbcu but it's cool" Nikole intervened and then held her hand out for Dylan but he moved away and held me closer. He never wanted to let anyone else pick him up not even Demetrius. "Okay remember that when you want some of my food" she pointed at him.
