Page 63 of Love's Most Wanted

“Daisy.” I answered happily as the bouncer nodded for Unique to go without waiting in line.

“Unique.”

“I know.” I simpered as he led me toward the section his brother was in.

As we neared the same section Asif was seated in, I swallowed the lump in my throat. I turned my face a bit when we got right up to the bouncer, looking away the whole time he dapped Unique up. I scanned the club for Leola, and when our eyes found each other, I saw her mouthing something, but I couldn’t hear it obviously, so I just waved for her to come on.

Unique tugged me into the section with him and started walking right up to Asif. My stomach was roiling because I just knew he was going to mention that I called him fine. It was also roiling because the nigga made me nervous for some reason. I wondered what he did for a living. Who were the Money Fiends?

“What’s good, nigga? Get off ya phone and look at these bitches,” Unique joked, slapping hands with Asif who only smirked.

“Not when I got a woman in my phone.” He looked around, then added, “I’m probably gon’ dip in a little bit. She said she can talk on the phone with a nigga in like fifteen.”

“Nigga, you ’bout to leave the club to talk on the phone? Stazi got you like that?” Unique frowned as Asif rose from his seat, reminding me of how tall he was, and I noticed he had the same beautiful eyes as his brother. His build was also perfect, not too muscular and far from skinny.

My hand began to slip out of Unique’s because of all the sweat I’d accumulated.

Stazi, huh?

“She been had me like that. Only one that ever will.” He licked his lips, texting something back to her I assume. “And I gotta put in work if I’m trying to make her my wife, muthafucka.” He started to slip by, and I realized he completely ignored me yet again.

“Oh, this is Daisy,” Unique said, halting his brother from slipping around us.

When Asif’s eyes landed down on me, I had to glance off so I wouldn’t be so skittish under his gaze.

“Hi.” I smiled bashfully.

“What’s good, love?” His eyes were only on me for a second before they flitted away.

He didn’t recognize me at all. And I could no longer blame the fact that he didn’t see me as the reason he wasn’t interested because he just had and barely paid me a full glance.

He slapped hands with his brother shortly after he greeted me and then left.

“This ain’t really his scene,” Unique said as we sat down on the leather couches.

“Sounds like his girlfriend got him wrapped around her finger.”

Unique chuckled as he made himself a drink with the liquor bottles sitting on the table.

“She not his girlfriend yet, but that nigga is trying to make the shit so.”

I nodded, again wondering what kind of woman she was that didn’t want to immediately be that man’s girlfriend as soon as he had asked.

Leola waving me down at the entrance of the section pulled me from my thoughts, as I asked, “Can my friend come in?”

Unique simply nodded, looking to the bouncer to say it was okay. Soon after, Leola was flouncing in excitedly, lifting her brows to say Unique was fine as shit.

PRESENT DAY…

I sat in the passenger seat of Unique’s car, arms folded and irritated. Two nights ago, he’d abandoned both Aurora and I to kick it with his little friend Kabrina and then had the nerve to admit he liked her, according to Aurora. The three of us hadn’t said much to one another, but last night, Unique said he wanted to talk in the morning.

I could feel deep down that he was about to either cut Aurora and I off, or try to bring Kabrina in. And while Aurora was okay with him adding a third, I wasn’t. The only reason I even agreed to this arrangement was because I thought I would’ve run Aurora’s scary ass off by now. So adding Kabrina was not a part of my damn plan.

Thankfully, his brother Asif’s baby was born around midnight, distracting Unique enough that he must’ve forgotten. He left around one a.m. to go see his brother’s newborn son, came home, slept for hours, then got up so we could all return to Asif’s mansion for his birthday party his girl was throwing him.

Initially, I didn’t want to go to this party because I didn’t too much like seeing Asif and Anastazia together. Though I loved Unique, it still bothered me, for some reason, to see the two of them. It was so difficult not to roll my eyes when he proposed on the yacht.

Anastazia was very pretty, very smart and gave off wife vibes, which was worse because she was hard to compete with. Niggas were dumb, but Asif didn’t strike me as being a part of that group, and no smart man would fumble a woman like her for anyone.
