Jessalyn found a close parking space to the door and
shut off the engine.”
“Don’t take all day in there,” Davina said, but
since Jessalyn had turned off the engine, she knew she wasn’t about to be as quick
as she led on.
“Davina, why don’t you come inside for a minute
and see the new store layout. It looks really nice.”
“Nice try, but you’re not about to have me up in
there only so you can stay longer. I’ll pass.”
“I’ll only be a few minutes. There’s no need for
you to be sitting in the car looking crazy, now bring your butt on here.”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“First, I don’t want to get out. We weren’t
supposed to stop here, anyway. Second, every time I happen to be at the
store, Corbin gawks at me like he ain’t never seen a woman in his life. Ugh…it’s
highly annoying.”
“It’s not annoying. It’s cute. You know Corbin
likes you,” Jessalyn gushed, raising her brows.
“No, I don’t. How would I know that? How do you
know that?”
“I’ve seen him staring at you and I know you’ve
seen it too.”
“I ain’t seen nothing.”
Jessalyn snickered reservedly. “Sure you haven’t.”
“Well, whatever the case, I’m not interested.”
“Davina, stop it. There ain’t a thing wrong with
Corbin. He’s super cute and hardworking—you could use a good, down-to-earth man
in your life. You most certainly ain’t going to find that at The Vue.”
The Vue was the local hotspot where the younger
crowd gathered on the weekends to party after long work weeks. Davina had never
claimed to be looking for a man there, but just to irritate her sister, she
asked, “How do you know? I’m sure some fine marriages have resulted from nightclubs.”
“You mean one-night stands and accidental
pregnancies.” Laughing, Jessalyn opened the car door. “Come on, Vina. This will
only take a few minutes.”
“Ugh. Fine,” Davina said angrily unbuckling her seatbelt.
