“Yes! I love you, Basi.” she said leaning back, and even though she was drunk, I believed her. “You been there when nobody else was. You should have been Easton´s father and the man I married.” she confessed. She laid her head on my shoulder, and when she was feeling more like dead weight, I knew it was time to get her to the room.
Getting her settled in the master suite, she peeled out of her clothes and tucked herself under the sheets. Shaking my head, she was doing all that talk about us fucking, but she was out like a light in the bed. Easing into the bed after undressing, I was sure not to wake her.
“Basi…” she mumbled. She sat up, and I was watching what the hell she was doing.
“Huh?” I said with my hands behind my head. I watched her snap her bra off, and I guess she was hot. Not able to take my eyes away, her pierced double D’s looked like they needed sucking on. Closing my eyes, I tried to take my mind elsewhere.
“Hold me.” she said above a whisper, crawling to me
“C’murr.” I said lifting the cover, and she made it over to my chest area. In no time I was hearing her light snores as I kept her locked in my arms.
Waking up, I wasn’t surprised that Miani was still knocked out. Easing her off me, she clung right back to me. It took a minute, and I had to get the pillow under her, for her to let me go. Shaking my head, I stood up yawning. My dick was hard as fuck as I made my way to the bathroom. Whipping my shit out to piss, I then threw some clothes on after getting my hygiene together.
Going downstairs, it didn’t even look like a party took place here.
“Damn, you up?” I said knowing Hosea never be up before me.
“Yeah. I had to let the cleaning people in. You got shordy upstairs?”
“Yeah, she knocked out.” I answered, getting some orange juice. “You see Dice last night?”
“Yeah, I stopped her before she left. We talked, well I did more of the talking, while she sat mad as hell. I think I went too hard on some of the shit I said.” he admitted, and I could see him regretting some of what happened.
“What you say to her?”
“I was honest. Dice committed to a dead man. And ain’t shit I can do with her if she going to carry on like that nigga hurr to do his share.” he blankly said, and I saw right away how that could have rubbed her the wrong way.
“I know yo ass said it just like that too.” I said putting the glass up to my mouth.
“It ain’t in me to lie.” he said bluntly.
“She´s a widow bruh. You know that, she knows that. You could have gotten your point across without speaking on a dead man.” I said knowing Dice felt like that was a hit under the belt. Some shit you didn’t need to say, and she had to feel like Hosea was being insensitive. As a man, that was the last thing you wanted your woman to feel like, because that leads them to deeper insecurities.
“Dice ain’t been with nobody since Chaunce´s death. Keefe spoke on that shit and you heard him too.” I said speaking from last night.
“Yeah, she trying to get over that shit...I know.”
“So, either be patient, or leave her the fuck alone. It’s that simple.” I let him know.
“It ain’t no leaving it alone. I done came this far putting in work, I’m not letting the next get all my gains.” he said sounding more like the Hosea I knew. “I’m going to sit her down again, and hopefully the conversation is different from the past ones.”
“Well handle yours.” I said straight up, dapping him. “I’m about to chill until later. I think we going to play tourist today. So, get dressed. We about to enjoy Vegas day life.” I said walking back up the stairs.
Entering back into the master suit where me and Miani slept, I didn’t expect her to be up. What had me holding my laugh was the fact she swung the covers up when she saw me because she was shirtless with no bra on. Closing the door behind myself, I stood at the end of the bed.
“Did we fuck?” Miani asked, and I couldn’t see her face because she was looking at herself under the covers as if she could tell if I touched her. Cracking a smile and chuckling a little bit, I shook my head no, before answering.
“Nah, I had to turn you down again.” I said making a light joke. She yanked the covers down to where just her face and shoulders were showing.
“You got jokes.” she giggled, looking around the room. “I was drunk that night, and I know I made everything conflicted from doing so...I’m sorry.”
“Don’t apologize. You was drunk last night too...But I ain’t mad at you.” I winked.
“Umm, where’s the bathroom?” she asked, looking around. I pointed her to the door, and she dropped the sheet to take care of her business. I couldn’t help but to watch her titties bounce and that ass sway around. Her back dimples stood out even more with the diamond piercings, and it only made me imagine what it would look like if I had her bent over with that ass tooted in the air.
“Basi! You know where my phone and wallet is?” she hollered. Sticking my hand in the door with her belongings, she took them.
With my phone in my hand, I sat on the bed going through my messages. Tiesha was blowing me up, but I wasn’t interested in shit she had going. Going to turn my phone off, I begin to charge my business phone so if it was an emergency with my mom’s or sis, they were the only ones to get through.
Minutes later, Miani was coming out of the bathroom fresh from a shower. She looked good in my black and gold Versace robe, and her hair was combed back. Even with it short, she was gorgeous as hell. Make up free, the glow she carried was undeniably strong.
“Damn, that’s a view.” she said coming to stand at the window that took one side of the whole bedroom. “Who’s house?”
“Just a spot Hosea renting.” I let her know.
“Is Dice hurr?” she asked looking back at me.
“Nah, Hosea said they had some words last night, so she left.” I let her know, standing to my feet. I wasn’t trying to dwell on nothing that didn’t concern her and me today.
“She likes him...just don’t know how to show it.” she said coming to her friend's defense.
“Yeah I can see that.” I said coming up behind her. “You know why I turned you down last night and the time after Weston´s funeral?” I said knowing she was good for making her own explanation in her head.
“Because I was drunk?” she asked, still with her gaze on the view.
“You was vulnerable, and I didn’t want to interrupt you at such a growing time that was critical on you. I have always been your friend, and the moment I saw that ring on you, a nigga was heated. I’m talking that shit crushed me.” I admitted. “Giving you some space, that was how this could be less complicated for the both of us. You could heal up, and come to me when I could take over.” I said draping my arms over her. Looking down at her with her hands on the glass, she gazed back up at me.
“Glad I got you.” she said turning her body into me, and bringing my face down to her for a kiss. “This trip is supposed to be a divorce trip. Not me hopping on new dick.” she joked.
“You know it’s always been whateva’ with a G.” I winked. Palming her ass, it was set that she was going to spend the day with me. I was open with her inviting Dice and Aja too. I didn’t want them mad at their girl, so she called them up while I got dressed. Hosea said he was going to step out and it wouldn’t be an issue with Dice coming too. How he was sounding, I took his word that I wouldn’t hear them fucking arguing all day.
Dressed in a fresh white tee, New York Knicks inspired denim jacket, snapback hat, shorts to match, and Knick's edition retro 1’s, I was pairing my gear off with my diamond jewelry.
“Dice doesn’t want to come out. She’s refusing to go. I think she’s in her feelings about what Hosea said to her. Chaunce is a sensitive subject for her, so I know that’s why.” Miani said, getting back dressed in her dress and heels from last night.
“I talked to him this morning, so that’s why he was even open with her coming. I’mma tell him what you said�
��” I said knowing if I didn’t care about Dice locking herself in the hotel room, Miani was going to be mad at me like I was Hosea.
“They just need a fresh start.” she said, and I heard her on that.
Spraying my cologne, Miani acted like she would whether stay in than leave. Knowing that was tempting, I wasn’t pressed to get in that pussy. I had waited this long, I was patient enough to wine and dine her for the day, then bust her ass down tonight. She knew what was up, and her horny ass just was trying to see what this dick would do.
Hosea pulled out the big body Denali for the day since we were rolling deep. The first stop was to take Miani back to get dressed in her room. When we pulled around front, I let her know we would wait in the car.
“Tell Dice I said to come down with you. She’s not about to stay locked in that room all day like that’s cool.” Hosea said and he wasn’t playing around with his words. Aja and Keefe was already set to meet us at this spot they picked to get lunch. After that the girls wanted to do some shopping and get pedicures. Whatever Miani wanted, I was going to let her have at it since she was on vacation.
“I’ll tell her, but she sounded like she was set in stone with staying in.” Miani said easing out the truck as I held the door open. “I shouldn’t be long.”
“Don’t rush yourself.” I told her, knowing she wanted to get herself together right since we would be out all day.
“Tell Dice to hurry the fuck up. She ain’t got all day to get dress.” Hosea said, butting right in with an attitude. I didn’t know why he even had one because he was the one who came out talking reckless to Dice to begin with. If he was more gentle with how he handled her, he wouldn’t even be having to beg her to come down. She would want to be in his presence.
“I will be back.” Miani said giving me a quick kiss on the lips.
“Hell naw. Don’t do me like that.” I said pulling her to me, and getting a real kiss. I sent her on in, and then got back in the truck.

Hosea
“Mane, she not coming.” Obasi said, sitting impatient. Miani had came down about twenty minutes ago, and Dice had told her she would be down too. Thirty minutes went by, and still no Dice.
“Gimme y’all room key.” I said reaching my hand back to Miani.
“Huh? What?” she protested right away. “Dice not coming down for you.”
“Bet? Gimme that room key.” I said knowing her pride was going to have her give in. When she slapped that card in my hand, I went to get my girl.
“She needs to get out of that room and her feelings. Only reason you got the key.” Miani clarified. Allowing her to believe her comment, I left the truck keys inside just in case, but took everything else with me up to the room.
Noticing they had a penthouse suite, I was on the elevator going to the top floor. When the bell chimed, I was stepping off looking both ways. Going to the door that matched up with the key, I was able to pop the door right open. Tucking the key back, I allowed the door to shut and lock behind me.
Walking through, it was cleaner than expected since I knew how women could tear up a room just by getting dressed. The penthouse was nice as fuck and had separated rooms. Going into the first one, it was empty, and I noted that it was probably Miani’s room. Roaming through, I stopped in the hall when I heard moaning.
“What the fuck she on.” I said getting pissed off. Walking up on the door, I was ready to kick that bitch down knowing this muthafuka ain’t have me waiting downstairs while she was getting dick. Getting ready to bust in, I stopped and I was glad I did when I caught onto what I was actually hearing.
“Ohh shiiii-yasss HOSEAAA!” Dice sounded off, and that shit flooded me with memories that I will never forget!!
Opening the door, I was expecting to see Dice in the bed or some shit. The room was so damn huge, I was able to step in and still not know where the fuck the bed was. Creeping in, I watched from the side mirror that gave view to the California sized bed. Dice was on her knees, ass in the air, head to the mattress, and hand reached back as she fucked herself with a vibrator. Biting into my lip, I enjoyed the view instead of interrupting her. Her moans, and her actually calling out my name, it was like she knew I was standing here. Knowing my presence would come as a surprise, I sent a text to her phone.
Luv Bug: Look back baby
My text went through, and I watched her read it with aggravation. When she looked back, her eyes bucked at me. She tried to quickly snatch the vibrator out her pussy that was wet as hell, but I had seen her pleasing herself already. She literally laid back in the bed and covered her face with a pillow after she almost tumbled out of the whole bed. I could hear her groaning because I knew I was the last person she wanted walking in on her. Taking the pillow from her face, I stared into her eyes with a smirk.
“Get outtt!” she demanded.
“You was just screaming for me.” I said knowing she was feeling embarrassed from how red her face had got. “Yeah, you missed a nigga after all...shocking since you thought to stand me up.” I said blankly. “Get up. You kicking it with me until I get tired of you.”
For a minute she was quiet, and didn’t say shit. When I got to going through her luggage, she got up then. “Why are you going through my clothes?” she said slipping a tank on so her naked body was no longer exposed.
“To get you dressed. You not staying in this room all damn day. Why you want to do that??” I asked her, standing to my feet, and towering over her thick frame. Dice was bad as hell, and Chaunce was lucky to have her when he was alive. Now, it was on me to lock shordy down with something solid.
“Why do you care if I stay in this room? I didn’t come to Vegas to be your entertainment.” She smartly replied.
“Because I know last night got to you. I might come on a little strong, but I wasn’t trying to hurt your feelings.” I admitted. “I realize that now, and I want to make it up to you. Plus, you not too mad at me if you fucking yourself and screaming my name just to get a nut.”
She slapped me good in the chest, and took her clothes to the bathroom. “I’ll be out in the living room.” I let her know.
Dice took her time, but she finally came out in a matching satin two-piece pant set. It was rose gold, and the pants had pockets on the sides. Her hair was all down with a part in the middle like she mostly wore it. She had diamond sandals on, and it added to the jewelry she wore.
“I don’t want to go anywhere with you.” she said making that clear.
“A’ight, you ain’t got a choice.” I shrugged. “You ready?”
“Yeah.” she said with a whole attitude. I told myself not to get on her ass because I was barely getting her out of the room as it was. If I said anything else to her, she was going to stay behind and I would be all out of options at that point.
“Is Miani downstairs?” she questioned.
“Yea-yeah.” I lied, knowing they been left. We were now going to uber to the spot to eat lunch. Dice didn’t need another reason to not get on the elevator, so I kept the information she had on a minimum. When we got on the elevator, she damn near had her back to me. Even with her wide leg pants on, her ass sat up like a damn basketball, and it was juicy enough to bite into it. The bra top she wore had me checking her every few minutes to ensure her titties didn’t spill out the front. Her dark oversized shades took up her whole face, and she kept her purse close like I was trying to rob her.
“You remember the first time we rode the elevator together?” I said trying to lighten her mood. Her thick long mink lashes behind her shades let me know she was rolling her eyes. When the elevator chimed, she quickly made her exit off into the lobby. With her following my lead, I checked to see was the uber I called here. Spotting the Audi truck, we got in. She was now texting on her phone, not bothering with me at all. I knew she was hitting up Miani since I told her we were rolling with them.
Since she was acting like she couldn’t be in my presence, I rerouted our plans. I was cool with everybody vibing togeth
er, but I was taking her out being in this bitchy ass mood. I knew I was halfway to blame due to how my words came off last night, so I took the time to reserve a table on a private balcony for two. It was a nice restaurant that I frequent often when in town, so the last-minute reservation went through.
“I don’t think this is where Miani and Aja are.” she spoke up, as I opened the door.
“It’s not. It’s where you and I are going to talk.” I said holding my hand out, but she bypassed. Clenching my teeth, I got it together knowing Dice wasn’t going to go easy. Her feelings were hurt, and I was learning that she was not one to play. Whatever I dished out, she was ready to come ten times harder behind how she felt and how I treated her. Being a gentleman, I opened doors and pulled out chairs. I ordered her some drinks to try since I didn’t know exactly what she liked, but wanted her at ease. The whole time she wouldn’t even speak two words to me. She was short, and the most she said was when she ordered the most expensive meal off the menu. Whole time, I was eyeing her for that shit, but I didn’t say nothing. I kept trying to ease conversation in and even apologize again for how I came at her. After all of that, nothing.
By the time the waiter brought out food, I was ready to take down my first meal of the day. “Excuse me...you mind bringing a trash can over.” she asked in a sweet ass voice.
I should have known she was on bull shit, but I got it clear when she dumped all that food in the trash can.
“I’m done.” she said like that did something for her.
“I bet you, you is! You paying for that. I bet I won’t order you shit else for the day. Yo ass will look cute and starve.” I said trying to enjoy my steak and not think about the three-hundred dollar meal she threw away in my face.
“Tah! You bet I won’t pay for shit. You got so much mouth, let them pockets run too.” she said hinting back to last night´s argument, letting me know she was in fact mad about what all I said.
