Chapter 90: Long legs

BIG KAI

NEXT DAY........

DINING TABLE.....

Scrolling through my phone, I stared at the pictures Rico sent to me. Pictures of the dead motherfuckers who trafficked my shawty's lil sister.

I am currently seated in the head seat of the dining table, dressed in a black turtleneck sweater and ash pants, waiting for my shawty to join me before I eat.

A text from Rico appeared on my screen.

He says, "That's all of 'em, OG."

I was about to type when a tiny voice caught my attention.

I looked in the direction. My shawty is descending the stairs with Jay Jay in her arms and her lil sister.

Then there is Caleb and that familiar maid behind them.

I sent a quick text to Rico and placed my phone on the table as I looked at my shawty.

She is dressed in a yellow knee-length dress, looking like a splendid sight this fucking morning.

Damn, shawty.

I picked up my glass of water and took some amount as they got closer to the dining and they took seats.

The maid helped take out a seat for the lil girl, Shawty placed Jay Jay in his baby seat and then....

Her eyes moved to me momentarily before she sat next to me, staring everywhere but at me.

That is expected.

I took more water before putting down my glass as the maids served us food.

"Good morning, Mia,"

She froze, looking my way. She has surprise running in her eyes.

Yeah, I understand.

"How was your night?"

She didn't respond but kept staring at me.

I gave her a tiny smile.

"I love your dress. You look beautiful this morning, Mia."

Her face twitched.

I picked up my glass of water and drank as I held her gaze.

She lowered her gaze, moving her attention to Jay Jay.

I moved my eyes to Caleb who is standing behind her.

He smiled at me and gave me a nod.

Fucking wingman, huh? Very funny.

I returned my gaze to my shawty.

She is fixing a napkin around Jay Jay's neck.

This is going to be fun.

Ish.

The familiar clicking of heels on the tiled floors filled the place, making me roll my eyes.

"Well well well, pleasant morning," Imani said, approaching the table from the stairs.

I ate my toast as she got closer.

"What do you know? You wake up every day in this house and meet strangers," she said as she sat down next to me on my left.

I looked at her.

She looked at me. "So, Tyrell's son is back in this house?"

I didn't respond but moved my eyes to my shawty. She seems nervous with Imani here.

"And who is the other kid, huh?" Imani asked. "What, is this a fucking kindergarten now?"

"Imani, language. There are kids here." Caleb said.

"Oh shut up, Caleb. Shut your mouth."

I moved my eyes to her.

She looked at me.

I averted my eyes from her and gave Caleb a nod.

He walked away.

I rested my eyes on my shawty as she took in a portion of her meal into her mouth.

"How is the meal, Mia?" I asked, making her freeze.

She looked at me.

"Do you like it?"

She furrowed her brows slightly and dropped her gaze.

Imani scoffed.

"Sir," Caleb called, making me look at him. He has a pink package with a pink balloon placed on the handle of the package in his hands. Inside the package are different cookies,  chocolates, and a lily.

I collected the package from him and placed it in front of my shawty, making her look at me.

"For you,"

She stared between me and the package.

"There's your favorite flower," I said, taking out the lily from the package and extending it to her.

She stared at it and then at me without collecting it.

"Don't you want it?" I asked.

She didn't respond but put down her cutlery.

She pushed back her seat and got to her feet.

I furrowed my brows. "What are you doing?"

She didn't respond but picked up Jay Jay and walked towards her lil sister.

"Mia," I called.

No response.

Imani scoffed as I watched my shawty take her sister towards the stairs.

I looked at Caleb.

He is as confused as I am.

I returned my gaze to her, clenching the lily as she ascended the stairs.

Imani chuckled, adding to my boiling anger.

"Oh my goodness." She chuckled again. "Like seriously? This is priceless. The almighty Big Kai, a fucking billionaire business tycoon and guardian of Bricktown, simping for a fucking little white girl and got rejected by her without her even saying a fucking word."

I gritted my teeth.

"How fucking hilarious," she added, making me look at her.

"You fucking disappoint me, Kai" she said, sipping her juice annoyingly.

"Imani," Caleb called as I pushed back my seat, got on my feet, and headed out.

"Sir," I heard Caleb calling after me but I kept walking away.

The way she fucking ignored me, stood up, and left the table messed with my fucking head.

Fucking shit.

What the fuck is wrong with her, huh?

What the fuck does she want from me?

What is her problem?!

I got out of the house and descended the stairs leading to my fucking car.

"Sir, please wait," Caleb called continuously and I sensed him following me.

Rowland opened the door for me and I was about to enter when.....

"I didn't say it was going to be easy, sir."

I turned to him instantly, catching him off guard.

"What the fuck you mean by that, boy?"

"Listen, you just have to be....."

"Fuck that. That girl be trippin' and it's driving me fucking nuts. What does she want, huh? A fucking apology or what?!"

"Calm down, sir. Please."

"She said nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. What is her problem?!"

"You just have to be patient with her."

I scoffed, looking away and running my fingers through my fucking braids.

"Don't let this get to you. You are just starting. The beginning of things can be disappointing sometimes. Put what happened behind us and let's move on with the next plan."

I looked at him as the next plan came to my mind.

"She finna do worse in the next plan and I'm gonna lose my shit."

"I am hopeful she won't, sir," he said confidently.

I stared at him.

"You need to be hopeful too, sir."

"Listen, I am only doing this shit because....."

"Because you have feelings for her." he retorted, making my heart react.

"This will work, sir. Trust me," he assured.

"Just get on with the damn preparations."

"Yes, sir."

"I'm out." I got into the car. Rowland closed the door and we drove out.

I took out my phone and dialed Rico's number.

NIGHT HOURS..........

KINCAID MANSION ROOFTOP.......

The refreshing wind blew messed with my smoke as I puffed it. I am standing close to the balcony of the rooftop, staring at the city's view.

I can't remember the last time I was here.

Well, I remember killing some motherfuckers here for spying on my fucking business.

But I don't remember the day. It has been a long time. I do most business indoors.

Out here is fun with the wind and view though but inside is better.

Right now, I am dressed in white trousers and a black shirt that hugs my body and has its first three buttons left open. Behind me is a table set for two, candles and rose petals littered all over the place, a bottle of champagne in a stainless bowl filled with ice, and two glasses on the table.

Only thing left is my date.

I took a drag from my cigar and puffed out smoke.

Tired of it, I dropped the cigar and stepped on it.

"Sir," Caleb's familiar voice called.

I turned around.

There she was, dressed in a beautiful short red dress that exposed those sexy long legs. Her hair was tied in a neat pony and slight makeup on.

Damn.
