A month later.

Crystal was still recovering from her injuries . She knew Devon did it , but she wasn't a snitch. She decided to move in with Risha. Risha walks inside her store seeing business is going well. She didn't expect to make a lot of money off her clothes. She walks in her office seeing a lot of paperwork that needs to be done. She been slacking a little do to the fact she been there for Crystal.

An hour later

Risha receives a knock at her door. "Come in," she said, seeing Keith come in, shutting he door behind him.

"How are you holding up?" He asked

"I'm fine,"

"You ain't got to hide it. I know what happened, " Keith said

"Just like everyone else," she said, irritated . "What can I help you with exactly Keith?"

"Straight to the point..

"Striaght to it," Crystal said

They stare at each other for a minute. "You've been avoiding me," Keith said

"Avoiding or busy. And a person like you should know that"

He leans in on her desk, coming closer to her. Her body became tense. "We going to dinner. Tonight, " He said, looking in her eyes.

"If I say no?" Risha asked.

"I'll be at your house to make dinner," He said, standing back up and fixing his tie.

"Keith, what is this?" Risha asked

"What is what?"

"You knew my number already. Now you know where I stay? What does it look like to you? And right now, I ain't coo with that, " she said, standing up.

"I ain't a stalker. But to get to know you. I have to figure out who I'm dealing with. Even if it's going back to where you were born, " he said, looking at her coming from around her desk.

"Okay. This. It's nothing there. And I ain't signed up to get looked into like I've done something, " Risha said

He laughs.

"Ain't shit funny, Keith."

"I want to get to know you...

"You damn near do already," Risha said as he smiled.

"I might know your background. But I don't know you physically, and emotionally. "

Risha squints her eyes. "So besides business . What else do you do to have the power to look into somebody's background?" She said, putting her hand on her desk.

"Come with me to dinner. And I'll tell you anything you want to know, " Keith said

"Anything?"

"Anything," he said, checking her out.

"You just set yourself up," Risha said, laughing. "Yeah, dinner it is." She said

"I'll be in the parking lot at 8. Be ready, " He said, walking out.
