In Love With My Sister Husband

Chapter 3

MALANI P.O.V.

I didn't know what I was going to put on tonight for dinner. All I knew was that I DIDN'T to go! I sucked it up because Rose wanted me to come and she wouldn't shut up until I agreed.
Every week my parents host us dinner at my dad's restaurant. The patio is only exclusive to us and we eat as a family.?usually it's every Monday or maybe Friday of that week if we couldn't do Monday.
My excuse for the past 2 weeks was I forgot because I was working. All they did was talk shit about me and how I was never going to get married, have kids, ir a decent life any ways! They wanted me to be like Rose but in all actuality Rose wanted to be just like me.

I took a quick shower to freshen up and got ready. After exploring all of my options.... I finally settled on my black off the shoulders long sleeve fitted tight dress. I brushed my hair back into a ponytail that laid on my back with two pieces hanging from the side. A pair of Black open toe YSL pumps with the gold YSL on the heels. I grabbed my gold clutch and was ready to go.

I didn't feel like driving so I had my driver pick me up. Compliments to my company for giving me a personal assistant who books these things for me. He tipped his hat greeting me and I double kissed him on the cheeks. Tom was a very nice man and very wise. He's been my driver for almost 3 years now. Lovely man with a beautiful family. I only use him when I really need him and still give him full weekly pay every week.
"Hello Tom!"

Hi dear. Pleasure to see you again! You look beautiful! He smiled opening the door for me.

Thank you! I spoke as I got in. I sat gracefully as he pulled off. I should have had a glass of wine before I left the house. I need a buz before dealing with the great almighties.

I felt my phone buz in my clutch and I looked down opening it. I smiled at the message notification on my screen. As long as today was and unexpected. I was thrilled to see a message from Harlem again. It's a turn on to have remembered him as this hard core gangster drug dealer to a sensible businessman. Who I wouldn't be surprised still had that rough neck mean gangster side to him.

"So you never gave me an answer, yes or no?" He asked again.

"Why?"

"Do I really have to explain myself!"

"Still bossy I see....when?"

"I wanted tonight but since you never answered, I'll settle for Friday night after work?"

"Okay fine!"
I closed out my messages and put my phone back into my purse. I kinda was excited a bit. I had so many questions for him. But I wasn't gonna get too wrapped up in anything he has a finance! We're just friends right? He's a thing of the past? Never even thought I'd see the man again now I'm working for his company!

My phone buzzed again and it was an email notification from work. I clicked on it as I was getting out the car. "Thank you Tom!"

Any time Ms. Allen, I'll be here when your done! He assured me. I smiled and nodded my head. I started reading the email and almost dropped my phone stumbling over my feet. My salary increased 5 times on top of what I was making. So my annual income increased to $1,051,584 dollars, leaving me to make 20,22276 a week and a million dollar bonus! I was in complete shock right now.

I went back to my messages and called Harlem. "What you wanted to hear my voice?" He joked as he answered.

Haha very funny! But what isn't funny is this salary increase....are you crazy?

No....I was going over a lot of scimmatics and you're very under paid. I'm just giving you what you rightfully deserve.

That's a lot though....

Is it really?

Yeah! And a million dollar bonus! Like what the fuck Harlem.

You deserve it! I have to go but can I call you later?

You just bought all my time in the world...

You're still funny Lani. I'll call you in a bit...

Wait...Harlem?

Yes Malani!

Thank you! I'm very appreciative of it.

You deserve it, you're welcome. I could hear his smile through the phone before he hung up. It made me smile hard and I walked into the restaurant. I was escorted to where my parents and sister are.

Of course you're late! My mothered huffed.

A queen is never late, everyone else is simply early! I smiled hugging her and my father. She playfully hit me laughing. "Hello mom and dad!" I smiled hard.
I definitely missed my parents. They both kissed my cheek and greeted me. I sat on the opposite side of my dad and next to my sister. She was smiling from ear to ear on her phone texting. Must of been the mystery fiancé.

Always on that phone! I nudged her laughing.

It's my man, I was telling him I missed him!

Your man? Who's your man? My mom asked with an utter look.

My mannnnnn! She said waving her fingers through her hair to show off her ring!

Ohhhh, ohhh is that? My mom jumped up so excited with tears in her eyes.

It is!!!! She squealed. "My man asked me to marry him!" She smirked so happily showing the ring off so more.

That's a 2.5 karat! Mmmhm he did good! We must celebrate. Waiter bring your finest Champagne! My dad said so excitedly.

Daddy if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have found my husband! Rose said excited.

I knew it! When can we actually meet this young man!

Soon! I promise I'm coming with a huge reveal. You'll love him daddy! Tell your friend he did a marvelous job raising his son to be the perfect man.

I hated when Rose put on this fake ass show for our parents. It annoyed me so bad. I fake smiled at her show just to show my participation of being happy for my sister engagement. I was truly, I really was. It's just the fake ass show she puts on with it!

When do you think you gonna find somebody Malani? My mom asked sipping her wine.

Mom! I have work! A man isn't compatible with my life right now!

That should be your main priority! You're not getting any younger! What you gonna do freeze your eggs? If you can't get a man maybe you should stop working so much! A man should take care of you! Or simply ask your sister. She probably knows plenty used single men!

First off I don't need help getting a man! If a man can't come on my level or higher than he isn't for me. Me working so much is what just got me a Million dollar raise. So excuse me for securing my future than chasing after a man. Who would me to take care of them! I said pissed off. Here we fuckin go with this bullshit now!

I'm just saying, maybe you should settle. There aren't any good men out there like your sister fiancé. Maybe if you were still a virgin you'd have a better chance like your sister.

Okayyyyy!!! Rose butted in tryna save herself from the look I just gave her. I wanted so bad for this fuckin lady stop comparing me to her hoe ass daughter.

Coming from the woman who was a mom by the time she was 16! I laughed a bit.

Yeah and been married since 18! You better watch it Malani Janae Allen! My mom snapped back at me. I rolled my eyes so hard.

Okay, everyone settle down! This is going to far we should be celebrating your sisters engagement not fussing about what Malani doesn't have. When and if it's her time it will come. So everyone fix your faces! My dad scorned us all.

I sat back and grabbed my wine glass and chugged it. I could hear the smart remarks my mom will
Make any second about me being an alcoholic. If anything I got the shit from her! And what really pisses me is the fact I lost my virginity to Harlem and he was the only guy I ever slept with. I been years without sex almost 12 to be exact while their precious Rosaliee over here been being a lil coochie giveruper. She got that muthafucka on tour. I can't wait to get the fuck outta here!
