I'd Rather Be Single 2 by LaShonda DeVaughn Read Free Book Online Page B

I’d love for you to come out with me.
    I peeked over at Dalia, she was checking in a client and I remembered that she was going out with Seary again. The thought of stepping out dolo was kinda weird.
    My par tner-in-crime has plans tonight, I don’t have anyone to go out with. I texted back.
    L ol, I’d prefer that you come alone, anyway. Come have some fun with me.
    Dalia led her client to the back to see Dr. Raphael. When she returned she whispered, “Girl, who were you texting in front of the client? You know if Dr. Raphael saw you she’d be preaching about how unprofessional you are, and issue you a warning.”
    “I know, I know. But it was Courtney. He’s hosting Aria tonight and asked me to come out. I don’t want to look thirsty going out by myself. I told him you had plans tonight, and he told me to still come out.”
    “Are you crazy, why are you overthinking ? GO! I’d go in a heartbeat, alone or not.”
    “I forgot who I was asking . Of course you would.” I joked.
    “Nah , foreal. He asked you to come out to a club that he’s hosting, that means that he wants to show you off. That man is fine, you know how many groupies are gonna come out just to see him, and he wants you to come out and be with him. Girl go and have fun.”
    Dalia was crazy excited to be a part of the world of athletes. She would put herself on the front line and look desperate without even thinking twice. I wanted Courtney to respect me, so looking thirsty was not an option.
    I picked up my vibrating phone. “Aw man, Dalia, he just text me a question mark. He wants to know if I’m coming.”
    “Text him back , girl, tell him yes.” She puckered her heart shaped lips.
    I took a deep breath and then started pressing the keys on my Galaxy.
    I’ll come through, but I won’t stay for the whole night.
    Courtney sent back a smiley face and said that he looked forward to seeing me. I was tingling with anticipation to see him as well. I actually missed him already. Still, I felt nervous about going to the club by myself to chill with a man that I had just started dating. Dalia made a good point, he invited me to stand alone with him in his VIP section. Athletes didn’t do that unless you were someone that they were really feeling, so I was going to go and represent him well.
    Dalia had her date planned with Seary, and I would be with my boo for the night. Who would’ve thought we’d pick up on a social life so quickly? I hoped that things would work out for the both of us. I decided to ignore Rosslyn’s golden rule. She always preached that when dating athletes, don’t go in it with your heart, go in it for the perks, money and the fun. But fuck that, I wanted love. I was going to be cautious with my heart, but I was definitely out to win his love. And at this rate, so far so good.

     
     

     
    Dalia’s ass went shopping in my closet for her date attire again. She picked out black leggings, a black corset, black Prada blazer and a diamond and leather black belt to hug her small waist. My bitch looked flawless. Her personality was addictive, and if Seary didn’t fall for the combination of her personality and her star studded looks, then I’d be convinced that the nigga was gay. My girl looked absolutely stunning.
    I , on the other hand, wore a leopard pencil skirt, black corset top, with leopard leather trimming around the bust line. I put on my spike red bottoms and clipped on my triple gold necklace and beaded gold bracelets. I knew all his teammates would be there, so I had to come through shutting it down. My pencil skirt accented my curves and my trendy black blazer cut at the low of my back, making my outfit appear classy. I wore my gold studs, and my hair long, black and straight. Red lipstick adorned my lips and my eyelashes were popping.
    Boston clubs closed at 2 am, so I left the house at 10pm to get there at a reasonable time. Dalia left the crib at the same time, to meet Seary outside of our apartment for their
