A Hood Nigga's Forever Chic! (Part 3)

Chapter 14 (Tierra) 2 months later

    Antwan still hadn't returned from business

and I was fine with that. I was still pissed off

and hurt. It was better for us to remain

separated.

    Working with Rico became more than what

I'd bargained for. I laid every little detail on the

table about my desire of a divorce to him. I

might of put a little too much information out.

    It was crazy how we became friends over the

last couple of months. We'd met plenty of times

and had long conversations. He'd fly to Cali

and I'd fly to New York. We both had the

money to do it so why not?

It was crazy how our meetings felt more like

dates, but it was sticky platonic. Rico was sexy

as hell, but I wasn't ready to jump into nothing.

    I walked in the cafe and spotted him sitting

at small round table. He was wearing a

business suit and holding papers. I approached

the table with ease when I sat on the barstool.

"So sorry I'm late." I said. "It's all good. I got a

draft of the contract for you." He told me

before handing over the papers.

I scanned over the fine print as I addressed

every little detail. "Okay, everything looks

good, except... what about the child visitation

guidelines? I don't see that here." I said.

"Check page two, line 8." He replied. I did

more scanning on page two. "I'll be right back

with your hot chocolate. "He told me before

leaving the table.

By the time he came back the contract was

already signed. He put the hot cup of chocolate

in my hand. "You look good as hell by the way."

He flirted. I blushed a little. "Thank you." I said

with a smile. I wanted to keep things

professional, but I'd be lying if I said chemistry

wasn't there. "I don't feel good. I've gained

twelve pounds with this baby." I confessed. "I

don't give a fuck. You look sexy as hell,

pregnant and all Tierra." He said with

assurance. I don't know what it was, but I

started to like him a lot.

We talked for two hours before I realized I

was late for my hair appointment.  I looked at

the apple watch on my wrist. My hair

appointment was in less than 30 minutes. "It's

been real, but I'm almost late to my hair

appointment." I said before releasing his hand

from across the table. "Let a nigga walk you to

your car." He suggested before assisting me by

the waist with one hand.

    We made it to my pretty pink pearl Cadillac

where we continued to hug for a long period of

time. He never wanted me to leave. "Tierra, I

want you. I don't care ima do what I gotta do to

get you." He expressed while looking in my

eyes. It was hard falling for this since Antwan

still had my heart. I was attracted to Rico, but I

was guarded.

    "When you gone let a nigga show you a good

time?" He asked with confidence. "I don't know

if I'm ready Rico. I'm still tryna adjust to all

this you know?" I said in a defeated tone. "You

know you can hit me up whenever you need

somebody to talk to." He assured me. At that

moment I wanted to kiss him, but resisted.
