he finished looking at Devon hard.
His friend seemed to accept that explanation and nodded his agreement as he grabbed his keys and headed out the door. Well you’re gonna hafta put up or shut up now , he thought once again of Devon’s plans to be with Chrissalyn. “Shit,” he said aloud still very much dismayed at the current turn of events. Lathan dressed and headed out, he needed to talk, and outside of Chrissalyn, there was only one other person he trusted, His mind was still racing as he drove finally arriving at his destination, definitely pleased they were home.
Devon continued to think about his conversation with Lathan as he drove. That joker is lying , he thought of his friend’s declaration of protection when it came to Chrissalyn. Devon knew he was attracted to the woman, but he hadn’t made a move, instead preferring to hang on to the dysfunctional arrangement he had with Alisha. Thinking of her brought
back the night before and made him physically ill. She definitely wasn’t his type and he would have never slept with her. He often wanted to ask Lathan why he was slumming when he’d first met her. Aside from the figure and nice smile she possessed, she wasn’t attractive. Not to Devon anyway. She had bad acne, was rather plain, and definitely too dramatic for his tastes. He also knew her type, the kind who looked for a decent brother to latch on too and subsequently bleed dry. She hadn’t finished college and basically had no mobility outside of DCA.
He’d warned Lathan again and again about doing her raw, knowing one of these times she was going to come up pregnant and his friend would be stuck for life. He shuddered again, saying another silent prayer, that the mistake of last night never come back to haunt him. Chrissalyn would never believe me and she would kick my ass under the curb , he thought arriving at her house and pulling into the drive.
The thought of her immediately chased away all the darkness he’d been thinking and brought a smile to his face. He was 31 years old and tired. Tired of all the games of dating, tired of lying cheating women who only wanted to take what he’d worked hard to get. He wanted someone who loved Devon for Devon. He’d seen that quality in Chrissalyn.
She was always the same every time you saw her. She wasn’t prone to moodiness and he didn’t think he’d ever seen her whining. She should slap the shit outta Alisha though , he chuckled to himself, knowing that if she ever got that angry there would be hell to pay. Chrissalyn was very tolerant with a great patience span, but Devon was no fool. Those were the ones you had to watch, because when they finally got to the end that was it.
“Atomic combustion,” he mumbled aloud laughing at his own joke as he knocked on her door, anxious to see her and start their day.
“Uh, you kinda suck at this,” Chrissalyn teased Devon as they played the arcade game.
They were at Famous Phil’s, a popular gaming and restaurant combination. Today it was packed, because it was Saturday and there were three birthday parties in full swing. Chrissalyn was completely relaxed as kids squealed delightedly at the various games.
“It’s cause I’m white ain’t it?” he threw back and she laughed.
Chrissalyn had to admit she was having a wonderful time with Devon. She’d seen a new side to him today that she’d never known existed. He was extremely caring she found as they talked about their passions and interests.
Guess you never know huh , she thought as he continued to try and beat the game and failed miserably.
“Aww, its okay,” she tried to comfort him in his defeat.
Devon chuckled and told her to come on. They made their way to the parking lot and his car, getting in and heading out.
“So have I made my intentions obvious enough, or do I need to spell them out for you?” Devon asked getting directly to the point.
Chrissalyn looked over at him and smiled again. “I get it,” she said calmly
