"Lord I pray to you today that this meeting with this dude goes good. If he start snapping at the mouth, lord I don't know what I will do. So hold my hand and help me through this." Jordan prayed out loud as her and Rakeem stood outside Steven mother's house. Rakeem laughed at her.

"You a trip you know that?" He shook his head as he rung the door bell. An old attractive woman came to the door looking them up and down.

"What you want? I know y'all bill people is not showing up at my door this early in the morning. Where my damn gun." The lady snapped.

Jordan and Rakeem exchanged looked before Steven came to the door.

"Mama chill, damn. What's up?" Steven greeted Jordan and Rakeem.

"Oh you know them?" Steven mother looked at Steven confused.

"Duh if I greeted them what do you think?" Steven gave his mother a "Duh" expression. Steven mother popped him in the back of his head.

"Don't get your ass beat in front of these people. That I don't know. For all I know they could be the damn police." Steven mother snapped. Jordan and Rakeem exchanged another look.

"If they were polices you think I would fuck with them?" Steven asked his mother. "Y'all can come in. She going through menopause." Steven laughed.

Rather and Jordan walked in slowly. Steve closed the door.

"So what's up? Y'all got everything straight with the pool?" He asked. He looked over at Jordan.

"No, not really. I want to see the land you want the house build on." Rakeem answered for Jordan.

"Okay, let me grab my shoes." Steven disappeared up the stairs. "Well stay your black ass home then." Steven yelled out before he came back downstairs. "I'm ready."

They walked outside and walked to their vehicles. Steven drove them to the property he wanted his house build on. They were impressed on how big the land was.

"This my baby." Steven pointed to the land. He was impressed his damn self on how he was able to buy it. Cash.

Rakeem nodded his head and turned to Jordan. "We need to call the crew down here this week."

Jordan nodded her head. She walked onto the land and paused.

"Do you want your pool in the backyard, on the side, or in the front of your house?" She asked Steven.

"Back." He replied back.

"Okay, I can see what I can do, to squeeze a pool in the backyard." Jordan responded.

"Shit you better." Steven scoffed.

Jordan shot him a look before she walked back to the car.

"We'll get started on it as soon as possible." Rakeem told Steven. He shook his hand and walked back to his car. "You did good." He laughed at Jordan face expression.

"It's going to be hard working with him. I can feel it. His mouth is just ugh!" She yelled out.

"We have to deal with that until we finish the job. Hopefully we done quickly." Rakeem started the car and drove away. He headed in the direction of the hotel they would be staying in.

"I'm going to take me a nap, before we do anything else. I miss my sister." Jordan sighed.

"Only God knows what her and my brother doing." Rakeem chuckled. Rakeem mother had Rakeem daughter for the time being. Rakeem would be taking trips back and forth from Myrtle Beach to Columbia to check on his daughter.

Jordan shook her head.

Later that night Jordan laid across the hotel bed looking at TV when she heard a knock on her hotel door. She walked and open it.

"I'm bored." Rakeem said and walked in. Jordan closed the door and looked at him.

"That makes two of us, seriously." She sighed. Jordan walked back to the bed and got in. Rakeem sat on the edge of the bed, and turned to her.

"Why are you single?" He asked her.

Jordan shrugged. "I don't have time for a relationship. What about you?"

Rakeem sighed deeply. "Hard trusting a female after my last relationship."

Jordan nodded her head. She could understand that. She couldn't trust a man after what her uncle did to her. She wanted to one day be able to put her trust in a man. But fear held her back. She didn't want to feel like a man was using her for sex. She didn't want to feel like he was hurting her while having sex.

"You'll find someone, someday." Jordan assured him with a smile. Rakeem returned her smile and moved closer to her.

"Sooner than I know." Rakeem looked at her. "I remember your sister telling me you're a virgin. Not to get in your business or anything, but do you get horny?"

Jordan threw her head back and laughed. "Never really had a horny feeling. What's that?"

Rakeem eyes widened. "You serious?"

Jordan nodded her head.

"Oh wow. Your body never you..umm your body never comes alive when a man is near?"

You. Jordan thought. She shook her head no.

"Your body never tingled either?" He asked again.

You make my body tingle. Like now. Jordan thought. She shook her head no.

"So umm oh lord, how am I going to ask this last question? Umm do you ever get wet? Like your lower body dripped with your juices?" He licked his lips when he said that. Jordan shook her head no again. Even though she was lying.

"Wow. That's crazy." Rakeem mumbled.

"What about you?" Jordan asked him.

"Hell yeah. I'm always horny." Rakeem chuckled. Jordan laughed with him.

"I'm not surprised." She smiled. "Can I ask you a question?"

Rakeem shrugged his shoulders.

"Are you like this with every female employee?"

"No. Not only do I see you as an employee I see you as a friend." Rakeem told her. Jordan nodded her head.

"Do you act this way toward all your female friends?" She asked him another question.

"Nah, I don't. Truthfully." He moved further on to the bed. His back touched the headboard.

"Wow. I don't know what to say." Jordan played with her hands.

"Nothing you can say. I guess things happen for a reason. You know?" Rakeem crossed his legs at the ankle.

"I guess." She mumbled. She wondered how would this even play out. They had already kissed. He stayed the night at her house. What was next to come?
