When Boy Meets Girl

23. I Would Still Want You

Saturday Sept. 17th 8pm

Michael's Apartment ...

Lisa and Michael's POV

It was around 8pm and Lisa had just arrived at Michael's place with the kids after shopping all day long with the girls.

"Janet what in the hell?" Lisa had said admiring the tall and pretty building. Lisa got out of the car and looked around. Michael lived in one of the best areas that money can buy in New York; Lisa couldn't believe it was better than her's.

"Who is this man?" She has thought to herself.

"Shocked?" Janet had said to her coming around the corner, opening up the truck to get Lisa's stuff out. "Yea I am, what does your brother do? Like the dates, then the shopping, now this."

"I'll just say this Mike does a lot & before you ask it's legal!" Janet had said while laughing at Lisa.

"No offense Jan, but what do you all do? Because even your lifestyle seems lavish. I'm just curious, that's all."

"None taken. But my family and I we've just worked really hard and have gotten lucky with this type of lifestyle. Just know it hasn't always been this way, but I know my father, mother and older siblings have truly made some sacrifices for this type of lifestyle."

Lisa could kind of understand where Janet was coming from and wanted a better answer, but she decided against it.

"Lise you went kind of crazy, how are you gonna get this shit up there?" Janet asked giggling. Lisa looked and shook her head. It's been a while since she really went shopping and got happy and bought things she needed and wanted. She bought things with her and Michael's money, not wanting to overdo it or have him feel like she took advantage of him.

"I know, this place looks expensive, they should have a bell hopper or something right?"

"Um, wait here!"

Janet had gone into the building,  Lisa unloaded the car and checked on the kids who were still asleep. She sucked her teeth because she had to figure out how to get all of her stuff to his place and carry the kids. After a few minutes Lisa sees Janet coming back with a cart and Michael by her side. All of sudden Lisa felt her cheeks grow warm and had a huge smile on her face, she'd never thought she'd be missing him this much or at all; but she was.

"Hey you!" Michael had said to her then gave her a quick kiss.

"This is all yours right?"

All of Lisa did was shake her head yes innocently and watched Michael happily load up the cart.

"Bitch your drooling!" Janet had said while swiping her hand in Lisa's face.

"I am!"  "No, but you are staring mighty hard. Girl Mike ain't all that."

"To you! But to me I don't know there's just something about him. Anyways, let's get the kids out so we can make one trip."

Janet just looked at Lisa and laughed. The girls followed Michael who was carrying Lisa's stuff, while they carried the babies. Lisa was in awe when she walked through Michael's lobby, it was nice and you can tell the building was pretty new too. Once in the elevator Lisa noticed that Michael pushed floor 10 and it had the word penthouse next to it, which ensured he was living in one.

Once they got to his floor, they both followed Michael down the hall and then the both watched him open the door. Once they were inside Michael's home Lisa had choked up on her words and her eyes were big. "What the fuck!" Was all she thought while admiring his home.
