All of Me

XI

"Good morning, Mya!" Heather exclaimed with a big smile once she opened Amaru's door for her.

Mya looked her up and down as she stepped inside the apartment. "Either you're excited to go apartment hunting or Amaru gave you some good dick last night."

"Shhh!" Heather said as she blushed. "Bitch, both—and I got some this morning."

"Nasty heffa." Mya joked.

"Good morning, sis." Amaru said. "We can go and grab some breakfast before we go to the first apartment if you haven't eaten yet."

"No, I haven't eaten yet." Mya told him. "Can we go to Brother Juniper's?" She asked as they exited the apartment.

Amaru chuckled because he knew that was her favorite restaurant. "Of course we can."

"Just don't be treating me like a third wheel. If Shakur wasn't out of town then I would've brought him with me." Mya said, making both Heather and Amaru laugh.

"We got you, sis. No PDA while you're around." Heather said with a smile.

Amaru slapped Heather's butt as they walked into the living room of the townhouse where the leasing agent and Mya were standing. Mya looked at them in disgust because the promised they weren't going to show affection.

"Y'all are so embarrassing. Not in front of the man!" She fussed.

"I've see worse. This is nothing." The agent assured Mya. "So, what do you think?"

This was the second townhouse Heather toured and out of the three apartments and two townhouses she's seen, this was the best one for her and Micah. It also had a third bedroom that she could use for an office and the rent was affordable.

"I love it. This is definitely the one." Heather said with a smile.

"So you're ready to apply?" The agent asked and Heather nodded eagerly. "Great! We do our applications electronically. I'm going to send you the email as soon as I lock up here and you'll get a response within twenty four to seventy two hours."

"Sounds good. I can't wait." Heather replied.

After exchanging a few more words, the three of them left and went back to Amaru's apartment. Amaru had a tattoo party to do that night so his shop was closed, but he had to go to gather this materials. Mya decided to stay with Heather until Amaru got back, which wouldn't be until midnight or one, but they were overdue for a girl talk anyway.

"So, besides the sex—how was last night?" Mya asked as the two of them sipped on wine.

"It was perfect without him trying to make it perfect. Amaru is just so different. It's like he's in his own category." Heather told her.

Mya nodded. "It's something about those King boys."

"He treated his last girlfriend like this?" Heather asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, his last girlfriend was Killian's dead beat ass mama." Mya replied. "She was so ungrateful and she would put up this front around Big Mama until she saw her true colors. They broke up when Killian was a baby and she dropped him off at the tattoo shop when he was about five months. Amaru had custody ever since. He's supposed to see her every other weekend, but as you can see—he's always with us."

"Wow, he told me about it but he never went into detail about how he actually ended up with Killian. He just told me that she was a dead beat."

"He doesn't like talking about it too much because he gets angry just thinking about it." Mya said.
