For The Love Of Money

CHAPTER 8

Its been a few weeks since Mercedes left for college. I miss my girl but Rashaad has been keepin me occupied. We never actually met up yet but we call and text each other all the time. The 1st time he called me he told he owned the lawn care service he was working for and explained his situation with his wife. His family is very religious and they mean alot to him. Well one night he went to a club and met this girl named Desiree. He said she was drunk and he took her home and smashed. Next thing you know she's pregnant. When the baby was born he had a paternity test and found out Desiree wasn't liein. So of course the right thing to do was marry her. Otherwise his dad would disown him. But he made and still makes it clear that he don't love her. The marriage is just for the baby. Funny thing is Desiree doesn't give a damn if he loves her or not. She just wants the chance to show off a fine ass nigga to her friends. They been together for 4 years now and they both cheat on each other alot.

Anyways Rashaad texted me today sayin he finally wanted to chill. He said he knows a koo lil spot we can go to.

After I spent about a hour with Toni I went to get my hair and nails done. I went shoppin for a dress but I decided on a cute short pencil skirt and Jean jacket with a cute lil black and blue shirt.

After I showered I started to get dressed when I heard the doorbell. I threw on my robe and went downstairs to open the door.

"Wassup beautiful" Rashaad said

"Hey" I said tryin not to smile too hard. He was lookin fine as hell.

We hugged and I told him ill be ready in a sec. Then I left him downstairs while I went to finish dressing. After I came back down I saw him lookin at my pictures.

"Like what you see?"

"Yea you was a cute kid. What happened?" he said while showing me the picture of me and Krystal in at our 5th grade promotion.

"Whateva, you know you like it"

He smiled and we made our way to his car. He turned up the music and drove to some cute lil club I never seen before.

"Why we at a old people's club?" I asked as we walked towards the door.

"Don't judge it til you see it ma" he said laughing

There was a long line waiting to get in but we cut and got in ahead if everybody

"Wassup Rashaad. VIP section is waiting man. Its poppin up there tonight" the bouncer said and let us in.

The dance floor was packed as hell with nothin but people in they 30's. And the music was just slow songs from the 90's. It was a lil old school but I gotta admit...the vibe was koo.

We found a spot on the dance floor and I started grindin my hips on him to R Kelly's 'Bump and Grind'. As we danced I felt his dick grow hard against my ass. I smiled a lil.

We danced to a few more songs then decided to sit down and order some food.

"What may I get for you this evening?" the waitress asked me

"Ill take the prime steak with a side of potatoes please."

"And for you sir?" she asked Rashaad almost drooling. I wanted to slap the fuck out this bitch but i dont want Rashaad seein my ratchet side come out.

"Let me get the baked chicken with a side of steamed vegetables" he said

When the tramp was gone I gave Rashaad a look

"Damn what's wrong ma?"

"We on a diet or somethin?"

"Oh, nah just tryna keep my body lookin good for the ladies " he said laughin and tryna flex.

Body is lookin good tho- I said to myself.

My thought was interrupted by his cell phone goin off.

I told you I'm out for the night damn quit callin me with this shit. Ill be there when I get there.

He hung up.

"Your wife?"

"Yea but she'll be iight tho"

I was irritated that he even answered the damn phone. But I didn't want to spoil this night. We finished our dinner and went to the dance floor for a couple more hours. Just slow danced and grindin all on each other. I was horny as hell.

"So what made you pick this place out of all places?" I asked him

"What, you don't like it?" he answered me

"Nah, it ain't that. It just don't fit you"

"You gonna have to get to know me better shawty. I might look like some thug ass nigga but when I'm with a real woman I take her to places like this. Places a real woman deserves to be in. When I'm just tryna fuck some hoe I take her ass to a ratchet ass club so she can twerk that ass all on me"

We laughed and I moved my head close to his tryin to kiss him. But he moved his head away rejectin my kiss.

"You ready to go shawty?" Rashaad asked me

"Yea let me use the restroom 1st tho" I said as I walked off to find the bathroom. I had to gather my thoughts. How the fuck could he reject my kiss? Is it my breathe? I checked my breathe an it was fine. Is it something I said? Shit it was probably me asking all them questions about the place he chose. He probably thinks I'm unappreciated. I hope I didn't mess this up cause I really like this man

When I came out the bathroom  we walked to the car. Rashaad started it up and we rode the whole ride in silence.

He pulled up and stepped out then walked over to my side to open my door. We walked me to my door and gave me a hug.

"I had fun tonight Rashaad. I hope this won't be the last time" I said smiling

"Not at all ma. I would ask you if I can come in but you ain't even that type. I respect you too much. Night London. Text me tomorrow or something"

He turned and walked away. I went insided my house and was so happy. He didn't kiss me cause he respects me. That's the 1st time any man has ever done that to me.

I kicked off my heels and headed upstairs to my room. I HAVE to tell Krystal about this tomorrow.
