Page 50 of Love's Most Wanted

“Baby, what’s wrong? Usually, I would’ve been splitting my side right now by your comments. I told you I apologize for the situation with Kabrina.”

He’d put his hood on and let his head rest against the back of the couch as he stared at the TV.

“Wish I could tell you, love. In the future, understand that everything has consequences, aight?”

I didn’t know what that meant, but I nodded just before his phone dinged, and he asked me what I wanted from the restaurant.

The sun was shining as I lay by the pool, shades on and trying to relax. I’d attempted to read, but I couldn’t stop thinking about Unique’s harrowing words last night enough to consume the novel.

As soon as I was about to get up, I smelled Daisy’s strong ass perfume as she plopped her big ass next to me. She wasn’t big; she was just thick in all the right places, but it bothered her ass just the way I wanted when I called her big. I did it every time she claimed I had no ass or titties.

I looked over at her, shades still on, watching her cover her deep caramel complexion in sunscreen. Truthfully, I was envious of Daisy’s body, even though it was fake. The size of her ass alone had doubled since I’d met her, and that was because she ate like someone featuring onMy 600 lb. Life, but it all went to her ass since that was where her stomach fat was.

“Hey, you know anything about someone named Kabrina?” I sat up, trying to have a cordial, bonding conversation with her for once. Daisy started this feud between us, and after getting tired of being the bigger person, I gave into the shit.

“Kabrina?” She squinted. “Oh, ain’t she the bitch all over social media for fucking Nique’s co-star, even though he married?” She shook her head.

“I mean, yes, but now she’s fucking Unique,” I said, making Daisy’s head fly up in surprise before she guffawed.

“Girl, please! That man ain’t fucking no one else. As much as I put it on him, I’m surprised he still fucksyou.” She sighed happily and lay back against the poolside chaise.

Ignoring her dig so I could stay on topic, I replied, “Think about it for a second. He spends a lot of time with her and sometimes comes back super late after.” I glanced toward the house to be sure we were alone, even though I knew he was currently in a meeting. “Then, notice that whenever he comes back from her house, he isn’t in the mood to fuck or spend time together. He’s always sleepy and sleeps in his own bedroom. This is a man who never turned me down. I know you think you tire him out, but I can confirm you don’t.” I smirked, and she sucked her teeth.

“I mean, he works hard, so of course he gets tired.” Daisy pled Unique’s case, though she knew that was some bullshit. I could see the confidence she once held draining from her face.

“I confronted the ho, and after I did it, she told Unique, and he’s been in a sour ass mood since.” I stared at her. “Looking depressed and shit, and my guess is the bitch cut him off. Now why would he care so much about that? He’s gonna leave, and he’s gonna be with her.”

I didn’t know how much I believed my last sentence, because I couldn’t see Unique choosing one woman and settling down. But I did think he was having an affair with her ass or trying to, and I needed Daisy to do something about it. She was the fighter, the hot head, and I kind of thought Unique liked her fiery attitude. WhenItried to be snappy with him, however, it turned him off. I could tell.

Daisy chewed on my words, and though she was staring off into the pool, I could see the wheels turning in her head.

“I won’t let that shit happen. You can bet that.” She sat back up, and I could tell she was bothered just like me. “In fact, I’m gonna get rid of both you hos.”

“Ha! Good luck with that!”

“Girl, you not even no real competition! Your body is trash, you let him doormat you, and you’re boring as fuck!” She shot up from the chaise.

So, I followed suit, now standing too.

“If you could make him leave me, Daisy, why hasn’t he done it? He would’ve been left me, but he hasn’t, and you know why? Because you’re a good time and nothing else. You ain’t wifey material, no matter how big your ass gets, you big hefty bitch!”

“Ho—”

I darted away, thinking she was going to hit me, and once realizing that, she laughed, waving me off.

“Yeah, you better go inside!” I shouted to her back.

“And you better enjoy this house while you can ’cause I’m about to turn the heat up, and before you know it, Unique will be dropping you and that other bitch.” She switched off, her ass jiggling in the thong bathing suit she had on.

I didn’t think she could make Unique leave me because he loved me the most. Daisy was just fun. But I did think she could at least relieve us of our Kabrina problem.

I’d sentDaisy and Aurora to a spa—different locations at their request—so that I could have some peace for a minute without one of them crawling all over a nigga.

And just as I settled with my bowl of cereal to relax, my doorbell sounded off. Exhaling heavily, I stood, exiting the den to see who the fuck it was. It had to have been one of my brothers or one of them damn delivery companies since the ladies stayed ordering every fucking thing.

I swear it was like the internet told itself ‘here come these two dumb asses. Let’s advertise every fucking thing,’ and they fell for it.
