His Desire

Not Ready Yet

I couldn't enjoy myself at the birthday party so I told Kassie I was leaving the party early. All I could think about was Spade being a drug dealer. I started speeding down I-90 express way, trying to get to Taylor house quick. When I made it to the house I noticed there wasn't any music playing anymore and all the cars were gone from her drive way. I walked up to the front door and rung the door bell.

"Oh... He-Hey." I was shocked he opened the door with Samajae standing in front of him.

"Hey... Well I guess you got to go home lil man." Spade bent down to Samajae height. "I hope we get to hang again lil man." Spade playfully punched Samajae in his stomach.

"Thank you. I hope he wasn't any trouble." I knew Samajae wouldn't be, I just tired to keep a conversation going.

"He wasn't. Him and the rest of the kids were pretty good." He gave me his signature smile like he did at the gas station.

"Samajae why don't you go get in the car." Samajae ran to the car. "Can you tell Taylor thank you for me." Spade nodded his head. "And Thanks again."

"No problem. Wait, can I ask you something?" I stopped almost halfway down the steps to turn around. "Would you mind to have lunch with me Saturday?" Is he serious right now?

"That's sweet but I don't think know. I would have to think about it. And plus I'm a very busy women." I kept walking to my car. "See you later Spade." I slammed my car door and pulled out of the drive way.

Once I was settled into my house. I decided I needed to call A'Shawnti; I haven't talk to her all day.

Well look who decides to call a bitch after she don't need her no more.

I forgot all bout that I'm sorry but I got something to tell you Shawnti.

About who?

Taylor's older brother Spade.

Her older brother locked up, you mean her youngest brother Spade?

Yeah him. I thought he was the oldest?

Naw. Spade the baby brother to the other brothers. I forgot the other one name though.

He asked me out to lunch.

He did what? How the hell he ask you out but not me?

I just left from over there and he asked me. I seen him Twice today. The first time I seen him I didn't know who he was. Then when I went over Taylor house he was there and that's when she told me.

Dang. You know he the biggest drug dealer in Chicago and he cold hearted at that too. I'm surprised he even looked at you.

What that suppose to mean?

I mean since you have a son ya know, I'm just surprised period.

Shawnti I told the man no to lunch wit him.

Now why the hell you do that?

Because Carlos told me the same thing bout the drugs. I don't need that around my son. Around me period at that.

I think you should have said yes to him. He could have you killed at any time you know.

I guess so Shawnti. I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow.

Iight.

 As I laid in my bed; my phone vibrated. It was from Spade.

It's okay if you don't want to have lunch with me. I understand very much.

How in the hell did this man put his number in my phone. I never asked for it and he never gave it to me. I didn't know what else to say to him. I responded to his text.

Its not that I don't like you it's just I ain't been on a date in a very long time.

He responded back 1 minute later.

So you do like me? I understand but it's just lunch... Nothing else.

I didn't want to give him an answer that I wasn't sure of; so I might as well just sleep on it for tonight.

I really need a lock on my phone.

The next morning I got dress to leave for work today. I tossed and turned all night thinking about Spade. I ain't felt this way bout someone since me and Rico first met. I got a text message when I was putting on my heels. Spade again.

Good Morning Beautiful. I hope you've thought about my request for lunch next Saturday. Have a nice day today.

What am I going to do with this man. He is really determined to take me on a date. I guess I'll have to give him an answer tonight. I pulled up to the back parking lot at my Hair Salon to see a lot of cars parked. It must finna be a busy ass day.

"Hey everybody." I waved at everyone sitting and talking to each other.

"Hey miss Simone. Where you been?" One of the original clients asked me.

"Other things.... And being a busy mommy." I smiled at everyone. It wasn't even 5 minutes that I been in the shop; the flower man across the street walked into the store.

"I have flowers for Ms. Taylor." The man said placing the flowers on the counter.

"That's me." I walked over to him confused on who would buy me flowers. "Thank you sir." He left out the door.

"What it say Simone?" A'Shawnti asked me while pressing out a client hair. I opened the note  that was sitting inside the flowers. The first thing I saw was Spade...

"It say's: To the beautiful Simone. I hope these flowers will change your mind on going out to lunch with me. Have a wonderful day sweetheart." Everyone in the shop awn which made me blush. Now I really got to give him and answer today.
