will you have dinner with me? That way, I can learn what my wife might like.” King uttered in his smoothest tone.
Sloan’s eyes widened then she laughed. “You are funny! Corny, but funny!” she said.
“So, corny, huh? Well, are you going to go out with this cornball?” King said, flashing his smile at her. “By the way, my name is King.”
“I must say, you really have a sense of humor… King?” Sloan said, rolling her eyes. “So do you want me to have the designer come out?”
“No, I don’t. I want you to design it for me. It is for a special woman, and it needs to be exquisite, and I can tell…” King said, looking over her body. “You understand style. I also will take that Rolex, and your phone number.” King handed her his Black Card, along with one of his business card. Sloan giggled as she looked at his credit card.
“You were not joking about your name being King.”
“No, why would I joke about that? That would really make me a cornball.” King laughed
She shook her head and walked over to the register. “I need you to fill out this paperwork for your watch, and sign the order for the bracelet.” Sloan placed the papers on a clipboard and handed it to him.
King began filling out the paper work as she rang up his purchases. She keyed information into the computer and the printer began to whirl.
“Okay, Mr. King, here is your paperwork, your card, and here is my card. I see you have an email on your business card, so I will email you when the bracelet is ready for you to pick up.”
“And what about you?”
“I’m sorry?”
“What time can I pick you up?” King said as he placed his card back in his wallet. “I am serious about dinner. If you are comfortable meeting me somewhere, that is fine. How about Ruth’s Chris tomorrow evening at six?”
“You don’t stop, do you? Well, I can’t. I have to work tomorrow.”
“Right, right, well then I will pick you up on Friday.” King said, taking the bag from Sloan. “Or I will call you and you can tell me where you can meet me.”
“I tell you what. You can meet me at The Cup at nine on Friday. Do you know where it is? It’s off of King Dr.”
“Nine on Friday? I will be there.”
“Umm hmm,” she said, walking away. “Have a good one.”

“This is so cute!” Khristian said as she held up the little red sweater dress. “Come on, Malani, let’s try it on.”
“I like that one, cause it has a unicorn on the hood!” Milani said as she ran to the dressing room.
Khristian laughed and followed her.
Yogi shook her head and sat down in the large pink chair with purple and green hearts on it.
Imani continued looking through the racks of little rompers, and dresses. Total Girl really lived up to its name. Everything was pastel colors, frilly, and had plenty of little animals to make any little girl squeal with joy. Imani felt her phone vibrate; she smiled as she looked the screen.
I can taste you right now. Can’t wait until this evening, I want you now. Where are you?
“I know that look. You are smiling too hard, you’re lighting the entire store up.” Yogi said and chuckled.
“Oh, it’s nothing, Ms. Yogi. Just a friend.” Imani said as she sat down on the small white stool.
“Child please, I may be old, but I know the look and the smile when someone is in love. So who is he, where is he from, and what does he do?” Yogi said, crossing her legs.
“Whoa, Ms. Yogi, you want his genetic code too?”
“Well, if you got that and his fingerprints that would be a good start.”
“Look, Nana!” Milani said interrupting the ladies’ conversation.
Yogi twirled her around. “Don’t you look pretty!”
“Yes, we do.” Khristian responded while joining Malani, who was now dancing and singing.
“Ok, ok, let’s get a few more things, and then we can go to the toy store!” Khristian said, out of breath.
“Toys! I know exactly which one I’m getting. Come on, Auntie, help me get
