The phone screen glowed as I waited for Aubrey to answer, and there he was, on FaceTime, his hair loose and damp.
"Aubrey, why are you staying in a hotel?" I asked, watching him as he combed something through his curls.
"Shit, I'm having some things done to my house and can't be there," he explained, not looking up.
I squinted at what he was using. "Is that the buttercream I gave you?"
"Yeah, this shit works good on my hair! You should sell it," he replied, raking it through his curls.
I laughed. "I don't know about all that." But I still wondered, "You could've stayed with me, you know?"
"Nah, didn't wanna mess up anything for you or crowd your space, but I'm gonna need you to come down here," he said, shrugging. "Think of it like a little getaway. This suite's nice."
"Here you go, last minute as always," I teased.
"Baby, you know me by now. Gotta be ready for anything with me," he smirked.
"Mmhm, well, I'm about to get dressed, I guess," I said, rolling my eyes.
"Aye, wear something tight," he bit his lip.
"Tight?" I frowned, feeling my cheeks warm up.
"Mmhmm," he said, giving me that look.
"Alright, Aubrey. Let me go get ready." I tried not to blush.
"Go ahead," he said, eyes still fixed on me.
" You always do this! Stop staring like that," I laughed.
"Bre, you just don't know... Alright, get ready before I show up at your door." He licked his bottom lip, then looked at something off-screen.
"See you in a few," I replied before we hung up.
I started getting ready, showering, and heading to my closet. Looking through my dresses, I decided to call Tiara for some help. She picked up after a few rings, her face lighting up.
"Breeee! Just thinking about you, sis," she said.
I grinned, "Hey, Ti, what are you up to?"
"Just fixed Skyler dinner. You?"
"Well, Aubrey's at a hotel tonight and wants me to come stay with him," I said, pulling out a couple of dresses.
"A hotel? He has that big ass house!" she laughed, and then I saw Skyler in the frame.
"Hi, Auntie Bre!!" she waved with her toothy grin.
I waved back. "Hey, Skye! But yeah, he says he's having work done on his house, so he's staying at a hotel."
Tiara raised a brow, "Guess that makes sense, but he could just stay at your place."
"I know! I told him that, but he didn't want to mess up anything or crowd my space. His words." I shrugged.
