For Her I Will...

Rome

"Here's your key Mr. Washington." the corky Realtor announced. "Now you take good care of this Penthouse, I cant replace this one in 6months." she laughed. My last penthouse was randomly raided about 8 months prior. I didn't know for sure if my past was coming back to haunt me or if I was just in the wrong neighborhood at the wrong time. I recently relocated from Georgia to Memphis to open a new law firm with my twin brother King , the Washington-Washington firm. I also left to escape some old habits that tend to keep following me. "Oh no Ms. Levine I'll take very good care of this one, I promise" I responded with a charming smile. She shook her head as if she agreed and proceeded towards the door. I followed her out."I'll give you a call once I'm settled in, about the video security system. I need that installed as soon as possible." I stated. "I'll be waiting on your call Mr. Washington, anything else?" I thought about complimenting her caramel body in the milk white, lace dress she was wearing but I can tell she was already seduced by my smile. "How about drinks later on tonight with me and my twin brother to help celebrate the opening of our new firm, and bring a couple friends with you. The more the merrier." I joked. "Will do Mr. Washington, see ya later." she said as she walked away smiling. I love woman of all types, shapes, ethnicities and sizes. Something about the make of a woman that drives me crazy. I haven't been in a serious relationship in about 8 years. I lost the love of my life to a shoot out when I was 21. I had just passed the bar exam and we celebrated by having a block party in our old neighborhood. A fight broke out guns was drawn and Princess got hit by a stray bullet. I laid there holding her until the ambulance came. That day still haunts me but I haven't managed to fall In love since. Knock,Knock,Knock. "Open the door nigga , its celebration time." a loud voice said from the other side of the door. I looked out the side glass panel and seen a shorter version of myself holding on to a bottle of Moet and the biggest smile on his face. "Whats popping foo" I said while opening the door. "Us joe, you been listening to the radio? We the hottest firm already baby. you ready to work?" King said while opening my freezer"and why you aint got no ice in here I need to chill this , everybody know you cant drink no hot ass Moet." "First of all, get the fuck out my freezer. The ice dispenser is on the front, but I'm as ready as I'm gone be I wish princess was here to see this shit man." I said remembering the nights she would stay up late with me till we both knew the law books in and out.She was studying to be a lawyer as well but she was for the people. She wanted to stop all the violence we grew up around in Bankhead. She always said, "Ro we cant be the product of this shit we gotta make it out for our 7 kids." That girl loved some kids and insisted on having a big family since she was the only child. "She a be proud of you fashho big brother, you did everything you promised you would. I'm just happy you left them streets alone, shit I'm happy we both did." he said while putting the Moet on ice. "But what's the move for tonight, you ran into any of them Memphis broads yet I been here to long big bro I gotta fuck something man." See my twin was the biggest man whore I know next to our little brother Jerome. We got it honest though our mom birth 6 boys and we all had different dads except King and I, of course. Hell and sometimes I think we came from 2 different nut sacks. "Naw, not yet iont know nobody but my realtor so far" I said pouring me a glass of Moet. "But shit I invited her out with us tonight. She gotta lot of sisters though, and I heard they all bad I'm sure you'll find something you like. Speaking of her fine ass I gotta call her about this security system anyway I'll see wassup." "Yeah nigga do that" he said snatching his bottle out my hand. "And stop drinking all my shit nigga you aint put in on this." I reached for my phone and dialed Ms.Levine number. "Hello" a soft but unfamiliar voice answered. "Um. yeah can I speak to Dior Levine" I responded with confusion. "This is her assistant, Danger Levine, She is not in right now. Can I help you?""I'm Just following up with her about the security system install at 101 Benson Court." "Yes, Mr. Washington, she told me she scheduled you for Tuesday @ 1:00 pm. Is that fine?" "Yea,that's great" I said nervously. "Alrighty, sir. Is that all I can help you with today?" she asked. I couldn't help but get lost in her voice, it was so familiar. "No that's all princess, thanks" I said regretting what just came out my mouth. "Have a good day sir." she chuckled. She didn't realize It wasn't a nice gesture, I simply got her confused with the piece of my heart I will never get back. Her voice was so angelic though, I had to meet her.
