"I need to get my hair done. I look a mess."I mumbled to myself while looking in the mirror. I had just finished taking out my box braids about a week ago. I usually would've been gotten my hair done, but I couldn't find the time. I was busy running a business and trying to raise four little girls.
Duke walked into the bathroom and watched as I attempted to tame my natural locks. He laughed softly to himself and tried to hold back a smile as he watched me break at least three hair ties back to back. I went for a fourth hair and snap! My hair was so thick until I hated having to deal with it. My hair was gorgeous but the time it took to keep it that way was tiring.
"Get dressed and pack your bags."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
"Who gonna watch the kids?"
"I already asked Lyrik and Levi. The girls are dressed and ready. The only person not ready is you. Now, get dressed before I change my mind."
I'm not going to even lie and say that I hated when Duke did things like this. Truthfully, I loved it. I had men apply pressure behind me before but Duke had his whole foot on my neck and he wasn't letting up. I needed something and I got it. He didn't complain about me being spoiled and I loved that about him.
I got dressed and just let my hair go free in an afro. I wasn't about to break anymore hair ties, and I didn't have the patience to try to put my hair in a ponytail again. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to pack; so, I packed a mixture of clothes. If I needed a dress for a black tie event or if I need to look cute in a club, I was going to be ready.
We dropped the girls off with Lyrik and Duke headed towards the airport. This man was full of surprises and he hasn't done anything predictable yet. I wasn't sure why we were headed to the airport but I just sat back and enjoyed the ride.
"Where are you taking me?"
"You'll see."
That was just like him. 'Not wanting to spoil the surprise' and shit. I couldn't help but to roll my eyes. Duke got on my nerves but I truly did love him.
I followed Duke to our gate. I can't believe that this man had already bought tickets. And not just any tickets, but first class tickets. This man had to be fancy and do fancy shit everywhere he went. I'm surprised he didn't rent out a private jet with his extra ass. He bought me a Tesla and now we flying first class and I don't even know where we're going. One thing I did know was that first class was definitely more spacious. We found our seats and I was more confused and nervous than ever.
"Can you please tell me where we going?"
"Enjoy the flight."
Duke turned his head in the other direction and got comfortable so that he could fall asleep. This man really was an asshole and I loved it. I chuckled softly to myself and decided to get some shut eye myself.
By the time the plane landed, I was more than ready to finally figure out where the hell this man had taken me. We got off the plane and headed towards baggage claim. Once we got all of our bags, Duke pulled me towards the exit where a driver was waiting for us. Kinda like what you see in the movies. It felt like my life was a movie. When we exited the airport and started heading towards the hotel, I immediately knew that we were in Miami. This man had brought my ass to Miami.
"What the --"
"You been complaining about your hair for the past week so I figured I'd bring you down here to get yo shit laid. Imma drop you off at the hotel and imma go make sure your appointment set and paid for."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had never had a man that was this into me. If I ever left Duke or if anything ever happened to him, those shoes would be big as hell for another man to fill. I probably wouldn't even want anybody else to fill them.
