His Desire

Siblings?

Since Taylor lived 2 blocks away from me, I was there in no time. I pulled up to Taylor's drive way and saw there were a lot of cars sitting in the way already. "I wonder what's going on." I said in my head confused on why I wasn't invited. I got out the car and went to pull Samajae out his booster seat. The music was blasting loud from the back yard. There were men playing basketball and sitting on the stairs watching.

"Do I go around to the back." I asked as everyone turned to my attention. The only one who didn't turn around answered my question.

"Yes you do." His voice sound so familiar then he turned around facing me. It was him again. Pretty eyes from the gas station. "Well hello again."

"Hey.. Um so is Taylor back there?" I asked trying not to stare even though the other men stopped playing basketball to watch me.

"Naw, she in the house cooking. You can go through the front door if you want to." Pretty eyes made all the men get up and let us walk up the upstairs.

I stopped in the door way. " Thank you." He shook his head up and down lightly.

"Heyy you guys!" Taylor yelled walking towards us and picked Samajae up, giving him a big hug. Then she hugged me.

"So why wasn't I invited?" I asked taking the grapes in the fruit platter.

"What you mean; you were invited remember? I even left you a voicemail this morning to reminded you to come." Taylor stood on the other side of the counter in between us both.

"Oh, well I have to go set up Kassie party anyway so I wondering if Samajae can stay for a while." I poked out my bottom lip like a puppy.

"Of course he can. Go to the back yard Samajae; all the kids back there playing." Samajae jumped down out the chair and ran to the back.

"Taylor who is that sitting outside in the dreads?" I pointed to the front door.

"The one who eating the almonds?" A smile came upon her face.

"Yeah him. I seen him this morning at the gas station; he walked up to me and handed my phone. I guess I had left it in the store." Taylor began to laugh." Can I ask what's funny?"

"That's my other brother Spade but his real name Antonio." I was lost for words for a second. Then Spade walked inside with some of the men that were sitting outside. "Uh- huh y'all cannot be in here smelling like outside."

"We just came in here to see what you want to drink  from the store." Spade turned his attention to me licking his lips.

"Bring back some Patron and Hennessey." Taylor pulled out $300 from her pocket and handed it to Spade. "And bring me back my damn change.

"Iight sis. Is your friend staying?" Everyone looked at me.

"No. She not, so you can stop staring." I giggled a little.

"You sure you don't want to stay?" Spade asked me this time.

"Naw, I can't. I gotta attend a party in a hour." I rubbed the side of my arm. " I should be leaving now."

"Tell Kassie I said Happy Birthday." Taylor said hugging me goodbye.

"Hey... I'm Antonio, aka Spade, by the way." He stuck his hand out.

I shook his hand. " I know. I'm Simone." We smiled at each other at the same time. "Well nice seeing you again Spade." I hopped into my Land Rover and closed the door.

Spade watched me drive away. I could tell he was interested in me but I don't know if he would be interested in a single parent.

Spade POV

Damn she even more bad than this morning when I first met her. It felt like my heart was beating fast and pumping blood again. I ain't felt this way since my last girl took all my shit and left me for my homie.

"Spade man lets go." Big Rob said half way out the front door.

"Spade can you bring some more ribs back?" Taylor asked me.

"Yeah sis I got you." I hurried out to the car.

Me and my boy's pulled up to the corner store 15 miles away. I knew the story owner very well, he knew I would take his store away from him in a heart beat if we had problems, everything was put on my tab. Damn I couldn't stop thinking about Simone and her amazing smile. This was strange since I told my self I would never love another bitch again but Simone wasn't any bitch she was a woman I need in my life.

"Boss you thinkin' bout that girl?" Big Rob asked me.

"Man.. Big Rob I don't know what came over me but I can't stop thinkin' bout her." I shook my head.

"Spade man... You know how females are... What happen to yo last bitch Shayla?" I hated when Big Rob proved a point.

"I know Rob but she different from Shayla. Simone seem like she independent and make her own money." I gave Big Rob a look. He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

Simone POV-Kassie's Birthday Party

"Okay everybody we are all set. We have about 30 minutes until the party starts so everyone be ready." I was already exhausted from running around the building getting things ready for tonight. I sat down in a empty chair at the bar.

"Something must be wrong. You look like you need a drink." Carlos said walking up to me.

"Naw I'm fine. I'm just thinking about someone." I took a sip of my glass water.

"Oh.. Who is he?" Carlos wiggled in his seat.

"He's not someone special... He's Taylor brother." I said rolling my eyes.

"Spade?" Carlos leaned back surprise.

"Yeah.. How you know Spade?" I asked Carlos confused.

"Girl everyone do. He so fine ain't he? I met him at Taylor Birthday party last year." Carlos took a sip of his long island.

"But I didn't see him. I met him twice today. This morning and when I went over Taylor house a hour ago."

"Well I don't know girl but I hope you know what he does." Carlos stood up.

"What you mean? What does he do?" I raised my eyebrows up.

"He the biggest drug dealer in Chicago. He basically runs Chicago, I'm surprise Taylor didn't tell you."

"Carlos!" Kassie yelled for Carlos to come up stairs.

"I'll be right back." He walked away from me.

I sat for a moment to think about what Carlos said. A drug  dealer? Not saying I never dated one but I don't want a repeat of my past.
