saying, “No.” Though he loved Tierney, he knew she wasn’t the woman he wanted to settle down with and marry. Alex wasn’t in a rush to settle down and thought Tierney was a good alternative until he found who he thought would be the perfect woman for him. Alex reasoned it was a beneficial arrangement for both of them. Financially he kept her straight, they traveled the world together and whatever she asked for he pretty much gave her. In turn, Alex had a woman that pleased him physically, he enjoyed her company as long as it wasn’t for an extended period of time, and she stayed out of his business. Unfortunately for Alex, that was no longer enough for Tierney. He was satisfied with their pretend ideal relationship; she wanted the real thing.
    “Then what difference does it make if I’m seeing somebody or not?”
    “I just think you owe me the truth.”
    Tierney slid into her jeans, and the way they gripped her ass made Alex want to take them right back off and bend her over. But he knew that there was no way he was going to get any pussy, judging by her tone.
    “So you say you want the truth?”
    “I’d like that?” Alex said with a serious look on his face.
    “So let me tell you the motherfuckin’ truth—all you’ve done is lie to me.”
    Alex looked confused. “When did I lie to you?”
    “Alex, what’s the reason you can’t marry me?”
    “I’ve already told you why I can’t marry you.”
    “Don’t give me that ‘you wanna be out of the game’ bullshit. Tell me the truth. I’m not what you want.” The conversation had now gone completely left. Tierney called Alex out and he wasn’t sure how to react. He knew he had no intention of taking their relationship to the next level, but he didn’t want anybody else to have her either.
    “That’s just what I thought. You don’t have to say it. I can just tell. “
    “Who the fuck is he?”
    “Nobody.”
    “Yeah, right. I heard about all those fuckin’ pictures on Instagram you postin’ tryna show out. That’s cool though.”
    Tierney didn’t respond. She disappeared to the back room and came back wearing a pink Hello Kitty t-shirt and no bra, with her nipples piercing through. Alex was convinced Tierney was purposely trying to get his dick hard knowing he wouldn’t get the pussy and that was making him even more pissed off.
    “So what if I’m posting pictures on Instagram? Again, what difference does it make what I’m doing?” Tierney asked as she sat back down, crossing her arms.
    “Why the fuck you keep repeating the same question? Just answer my fuckin’ question. Is the truth that hard for you to give?”
    “I’ma need you to leave.”
    “You fuckin’ around. Just like I thought,” Alex gave a slight laugh, trying to suppress his anger.
    “In order for me to be fuckin’ around, I have to be in a relationship,” Tierney shot back. She opened her door for Alex to leave.
    “This is going to be the worst mistake of your life. I promise you,” he cautioned, before walking out the door.

    “This motherfuckin’ Lamborghini, is gon’ be the reason you go to jail,” Alex stated to Deion. Deion smiled and tossed the keys to the valet, as if paying Alex no mind. “What the fuck are you thinking driving around in this flashy-ass car?”
    “Yo, calm down. It’s a rental, man. My white homeboy Matt at A-Town Exotic Rentals gave it to me for a good rate,” Deion explained as they entered the restaurant. Once inside, the hostess led them to a booth in the back.
    “We gotta be smarter than this,” Alex said when the waitress left.
    “Quit trippin’.”
    “This ain’t trippin’.”
    “Yes it is, and for what? You drive Range Rovers and Benzes and shit. What do you think we do this for? You think I’m gonna be out here risking my life and not having fun? All motherfuckers need to know is that I’m a legitimate business man.”
    “The fact that you have to use the word legitimate is gonna
