If I have to (bwwm)

Chapter 31

"I should have told you sooner. " Ali began.

"Alicat not now, please. "

"Morgan we have to talk about this. Tell me how you feel scream at me cry for God sake do something!"

  She's frustrated and I don't blame her. Ali was hanging out at my apartment waiting for me. I've been at James's place for the past two days.

My reaction to everything has been pretty nonchalant. A part me is just trying to pretend it isn't real. While the other half is trying to accept it for what it is.
I guess Ali isn't a fan of how I'm handling everything. 

"Alicat I will not yell or cry about this.  The only thing I can do is accept it. I mean what do you want me to do?"

"Morgan it's just that this is a big pill to swallow. "

"And I know that but me freaking out won't help the situation now will it?"

Ali sighed and admitted defeat.  I know it confuses her that I can handle hearing the truth. About the most important people in my life.
But like I said freaking out won't help. The last thing I want is them not trusting and questioning me.

I've thought long and hard about this. It's too late to just stop everything.  These people are all I got. Ali and her family despite what they do for a living. Were the ones who helped me when no one would.

"Well if you say so babycakes. Just know that you always got me no matter what. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

"I know Ali, besides I learned a long time ago that I'm stuck with your ass. With yo thick self," I tease.

"Aye, my man likes it.  And I guess James likes it too I see that booty getting bigger. "

"Girl whatever I'll see you tonight."

"Oh, I'm glad you reminded me. I still can't believe we're meeting Chloe's girlfriend." Ali said

"I know that means you have to be on your best behavior," I warned.

"I will, I always am. She just better be ready to sit in that hot seat. "

I roll my eyes as she leaves. Hopefully, this girl has tough skin and a lot of patience.

Passing the mirror in my living room. I go back to check my self out. Maybe my butt is getting Bigger or maybe it's just these sweat pants I "borrowed"  from James.

Either way, I look good and decide to take a picture.  I was gonna post it on Instagram but instead, I sent it to James. 

He has a big meeting today. I know he was dreading to go. Maybe this will put a smile on his face.

James Pov

"Turn that off" Keith whispered to me.

We are in the middle of a half million dollar deal when my phone buzzes. It distracts everyone for a second.  I roll my eyes in response. Why the hell do I even come to these meetings?

   We never leave without closing a deal and today won't be any different.  While some bald guy goes on about something  I check my phone.  Its a picture from Morgan. She standing in the mirror in a bra and my sweat pants.

Am I a great thief or what? She texted. Once again my phone sounds off and everyone looks at me. I clear my throat and place my phone on vibrate.

You know thieves get punished right? I responded.

She texted back maybe I deserve my punishment .......on a serious note do you think these pants make my butt look big?

I ignore her punishment talk because it's better that we not start something we can't finish. But then again I know that's she's in a playful mood.

Well, I can't tell the pants are in the way.

About five minutes go by until she replies.
Another picture is sent of her without my sweat pants.
She sitting on her knees in front of her mirror. Her hair is curly and wild. The black lacy underwear matches her bra. That sexy brown skin seems to glow, she looks like a fucking goddess. 

I gotta see you later I texted her immediately.

Too bad Mr. Gallo. I have dinner plans tonight.

Well after you and girls have dinner I'll pick you up so I can have some dessert.

What makes you think that I'm having dinner with them?

Because I'm the only guy in your life. At least I better be.

And if you aren't Mr possessive? 

I'll just have to eliminate any competition mory. My meeting is wrapping up I'll see you later.

Okay, James whatever you say.

Mory, don't forget that I like my dessert warm.

Dude, can you get your head out of the gutter?

I will and I'll put it right between your legs.

JAMES.STOP.TEXTING .ME .AND FOCUS. ON .YOUR .MEETING.

I can't but laugh at her text message. "James we just need your signature and we're good to go."

I quickly sign the papers. Keith gives me a weird look which I just brush off. He probably pissed about me ignoring the meeting.  Screw it making Morgan worked up in text message was worth it. I just hope she ready for tonight because I have something big planned.
