Two Can Play That Game

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Kivana Stewart

I wrapped the towel around my body as I stepped out of the shower. I got dressed in something warm and cozy. I was going to see a few houses today, I love my brother but living with him is a mess.

He's a little whore and when he has company over I leave ain't nobody trying to hear that. It's been a week since I've seen Simon and I missed him, but he was away handling "business." Whatever that means.

"You know you're more than welcomed to stay here." Kivan said leaning on the door.

I tied my shoes up before glancing at him.

"So I can be out the house while your flings come around? No thanks." I chuckled.

He nodded.

"You right." He said looking down.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I just got you back, and I feel like you're leaving me again." He said.

"I know, but you do need your own space Ki. On top of that I'm looking at places that are near here." I said.

He sighed and nodded.

"Look I'll be close I promise." I said.

I pecked his cheek before leaving the house. I zipped my coat up before I made it to my car. I closed the door and smiled as that new car scent hit my nose.

I pulled off and headed to a small home I was going to look at. Simon of course offered me to stay with him but this was my lonely era. I needed to recover...I've been living with a man for the past seven years.

"Hi Ms.Stewart."

"Hello." I smiled.

"I'm Ethan I'll be taking care of your tour." He said.

I nodded and followed him up the pathway. I felt a shiver go down my spine and looked over my shoulder.

My eyes scanned the neighborhood as I looked around.

"Ms.Stewart." Ethan said.

"I'm sorry." I said following behind him.

The house was beautiful, small and not to much, it was just what I needed. Once we finished the tour we went back to his office and I signed the paper work.

I began heading back to my car when I got that same shiver. I stopped and looked around before my phone began ringing.

"Hello." I said as I scanned the parking lot.

"Hey you, what are you doing?" Simon asked.

"Just signed the lease on my new home, what are you doing?" I asked getting into my car.

"Nothing right now, wrapping up some things." He said.

"When are you coming back?" I asked.

"In a few days you miss me already?" He asked.

I smiled as I started my car.
