Jada met Craig in a gated townhome community in Dunwoody. It was a tri-level brick townhome with a two-car garage. Jada thought it was rather plain considering it had more security that the White House. Craig opened the door wearing a white robe with an unlit cigar dangling from his mouth. He kissed her and said, “I have a surprise for you.”

“I love surprises.”

With that stupid looking cigar hanging from his mouth he said, “I know you do, follow me.”

He led her to a room that looked like a man cave with a leather sofa and a huge plasma TV. Two shopping bags rested on the sofa.

There were two shoe boxes inside the bag.

She opened the first box; there was a pair of heels, basic and cute. She opened the second box; there was a pair of peep toe wedges she saw Beyoncé wearing on one of the blogs. “Oh my God. How did you know?”

“I saw you looking at them on your iPad the day I visited your hotel room.”

She eased out of her shoes and slid into the wedges.

“Where is your mirror?”

He directed her to a closet. “Open that closet. There’s a full length mirror on the other side of the closet.”

She pranced with her new shoes on, feeling like a princess. Not that she wasn’t used to shoes. There had been times that Shamari would just hand her thousands of dollars and tell her to get what she wanted. But with all the drama going on, she hadn’t been able to go shopping. She appreciated Craig treating her like a princess. She grinned and posed in the mirror.

He said, “Guess you don’t like the first pair?”

“I love them, it’s just I love the wedges.”

“I can tell when you don’t like something.”

She said, “Hey I like them, what I don’t like is that stupid cigar hanging from your mouth.”

He frowned. “Not cool?”

She said, “Not cool at all, but you tried.”

He removed the cigar and said, “I really don’t smoke. I just like to pretend to look cool.”

She said, “The hobbies of rich men.”

He said, “Well since you didn’t like the shoes, maybe you’ll like this.” He presented her a jewelry box.

She tore into it immediately and removed the diamond watch. She said, “Wow, this is amazing. You really didn’t have to do this.” She admired the sparkling watch.
