Betrayal

Chapter Twenty Three

•Shay•

○● A few days later..○●

I turned the shower off, stepping out and drying myself off. I walked into my bedroom and went into the closet to find something to wear. I found a nice knee length dress and some pumps. I walked back into the room, with the clothes and laid them out on the bed. I was about to do my makeup but heard my phone ring on the dressor.

"Hello?"

"Shay, what are you doing today?" I heard Paula ask.

"I was going to see Nelson about some building ideas, whats up?" I responded as I did my brows.

"Oh thats good, we can double date?"

"What? Naw, I dont think thats a good idea."

"Why not?"

"Cause we're not that serious."

"Awh come on Shay. It'll be fun."

"Alright, I'll see if he wants to go."

"Okay. If he says yes, meet us at Brulé. Casual attire. 5:00pm."

"Okay." I agreed.

We hung up.

I thought about being at a table with De'Wayne and Shawn at the same time.. boy is that going to be akward. But hey, this is what happens when youre creeping on the low. Youre bound to have a few akward moments.

I finished doing my makeup as I applied the finishing and setting spray. I slipped on my dress and heels before I decided to do my hair. I walked into the living room, grabbed my keys and headed out the door to my car.

I drove to my lot where my building was in progress and got out. I could see De'Wayne and his people working on the foundation as I put a hand in front of my face like a visor, blocking out the sun so I could see.

"So what you think?" I heard De'Wayne ask as he approached me.

"Looks like a bunch of stacked iron bars and railings if you ask me." I said as I directed my attention to him.

He laughed.

"Well yeah right now.. but its going to be more than that I promise."

I smiled.

"I hope so or Im coming after you."

"I wouldnt mind." He said being flirtatious.

"What you doing this evening?" I asked changing the subject.

"Probably nothing. Why?"

"My friend wants to set up a double date. She asked me to see if you wanted to come."

"That'll be cool.."

"Really?"

"Yeah. "

"I thought you would be against it."

"Why?"

"Cause we havent made anything official yet."

"Doesnt matter. What time and where?"

"At Brulé. 5:00pm."

"Aight. You want me too swing by and pick you up?"

"Sure."

"Alright."

"Well, Im gonna let you get back to work." I said before I gave him a hug.

"Aight beautiful." He responded before I sashayed away.
