when we get home later on?â
âDonât ask, baby; take what you want.â With that said she closed her door, started the car, and smiled as she pulled out from her parking space.
Flamboyant went and got into his car and grabbed his cell to call Toni. Toni answered the phone just as he turned into the midmorning traffic. âHow you doinâ today, Toni?â
âJust fine, Mr. Flamboyant. How about yourself?â
âAll good on my side of the world. Check it, we need to meet. I have an order I need to place.â
âWhere are you?â
âIâm out south; where are you?â
âOkay, meet me at Quail Springs Mall in about twenty minutes. Iâll be parked right outside of the Dillardâs entrance.â
âSee you in twenty,â he said as he ended the call.
Twenty minutes later Flamboyant was sitting inside of Toniâs brand new Jaguar. âSo, what do you need, Mr. Flamboyant?â asked Toni.
He smiled and said, âThe usual. I got all of the ends for some more ya-yo as well as for some more X. I should have the ends for the sherm in another week or so. My team has just hooked up with somebody who wants to get heavy in the water game and buy some gallons. So be expecting that to pick up dramatically.â
âNo problem. Whatever needs you have will be taken care of. Iâm glad to see that everything has worked out so well. I must admit, youâve surpassed my expectations.â
Loving whenever he was complimented, Flamboyantâs smile brightened as he said, âI told you I can move anything that you give me. Iâm lookinâ into spreadinâ my wings a liâl more and covering some more ground in town. If my next move comes across like I think it will, Iâll be movinâ even more work.â
âGood, very good. Now, if thatâs all, I have some other things to take care of.â
âYeah, thatâs about it for now. When you gonâ holla at me?â
âWithin a couple of hours.â
âThatâs cool. Iâm goinâ to hook up with Wifey and do a liâl bit of shoppinâ, but Iâll be ready when you call.â
âI know you will, Flamboyant,â Toni said with a smile. Flamboyant got out of Toniâs car. Toni watched him as he strolled confidently toward his car. âMake that money, hustla,â Toni said aloud and continued to smile.

After several hours of shopping at two different malls and a few local urban gear stores, Flamboyant was shopped out. âCome on, babe, can we head on home now?â he asked Shayla as she led him into yet another store inside of Penn Square Mall.
âLet me see if they have some of that new Baby Phat stuff. You know Iâm lovinâ me some Kimora Lee Simmons. She is the shit!â
Flamboyant shook his head but chose to remain silent as he followed his woman inside the store. After another thirty minutes in and out of stores inside the mall, Shayla finally had enough. âOkay, baby, letâs go get something to eat and head on home so I can take care of you for taking such good care of me,â she said sweetly.
âNow thatâs what Iâm talkinâ âbout.â As they were leaving the mall he got the call that he hoped and prayed wouldnât come until later on. He was anxiously thinking about his upcoming sex session with Shayla. When he saw Toniâs number on the caller ID of his cell phone, he automatically started to think of an excuse to give Shayla. As much as he wanted to get freaky with his queen, business had to be handled first. He answered the phone and said, âYour timinâ couldnât have been worse.â
âSorry about that. I got tied up longer than I thought. Iâm ready now, so letâs move quickly because I have another appointment and Iâm running late as it is.â
He stared at Shayla as they walked toward his car, and said,
