Dinner

Sitting across from Keith cutting my steak with my knife. I look up at him on the phone. It's been 8 months since they've been together, and things seem to go just right.

Keith hangs up the phone, seeing her cut into the steak. "You got it, baby?" He asked

"I got it," she said, looking up at him, smiling.

"Been wanting to talk to you about something," He said

"What is it?" She asked, eating her steak.

He looks at her for a mintue "move in with me."

Risha damn near chokes on her steak. "You joking, right?" She asked point her fork at him.

"Nah."

"I think I'll stay where I'm at," she said, seeing

"Alright," He said

"It's not that I don't want to, babe.  I'm just not ready.

He cuts her off. "To come home to your man," he said

"Don't act like that," she said

"Nah, stay at your place, it's coo," He said, biting into his steak.

"There's that attitude. And you talk about mines" she said, smiling.

"Ain't got one. Look, we been rocking for a little minute now. How are you feeling about it?" He asked

"I love that you love me. If that makes sense. Even though most days you gone half the night. "

"Handling business"

"If you want me to move in.  I want you home at night with me. That's one reason I won't move in, " Risha said

"And the second?" He asked

"I don't know if I'm ready," she said, looking at him.

"Cool," He said

30 minutes later.

Risha and Keith walk out the restraunt, and shots ring out. Keith grabs Risha, going to the truck and getting down as his body guards start shooting back, seeing an all black Cadillac sped passed. After the shots were done. Keith gets up, grabbing Risha, who was in shock. Keith checks on her.

"Babe," Risha said, shaking real bad

"Get in the car." He said, closing the door after her. "Find out who the FUCK THAT WAS" He Said getting in the truck.

Walking inside Risha's house, she walks straight to her room while he takes his jacket off. "Baby," He said, not seeing her come back out. He walks into her room. He noticed she was still in shock. He grabs her from behind, wrapping his arms around her, kissing her neck.

"Is there something you are not telling me?" She asked, looking at him through the mirror.

"Nah. I don't know who them niggas was. But I'm looking into it, " He said as she turned around to him.  "Come stay with me for some nights," he said.

"Let me pack some clothes," She said

"You got clothes at the crib. Let's go, " He said, grabbing her hand.

The next morning..

Risha walks out Keith room with her Grey dress on with her hair wavy going down her back. "Goodmorning Linda" Risha Said smiling noticing Keith was already gone.

"Goodmorning Risha. Need anything?"

"No I'm about to head out" Risha Said

"Okay. Well Keith wanted me to tell him know when you left." She said
