The Bet

When Jason and Darrelle make a bet involving Darrell's dating life, he thought it would be easy since women were usually his strong suit. What he didn't know is that he would end up with Nia Graham, a lawyer who became well known after defending a wrongly accused black man. Nia had been by herself for so long without a man, she had learned to live without one, her independent nature makes it difficult for Darrelle. Darrelle stays persistent knowing that the Preston deal would be his greatest deal yet, but when Darrelle finds himself falling for Nia will he end the bet? Sneak Peak "What about her?" Andre asked. "Who?" I asked he motioned to a group of women specifically the one sitting down, I couldnt really see her because of the dim lights and the group of friends she had around her. "No," "Why not?" Jason asked I took another sip before saying. "She is sitting with her friends," "And?" Andre asked. "Her friends are drunk," "And?" Jason asked confused. "She is the only one with a beer and look at how she continuously checks her phone every five second," "And?" "The beer isn't strong which means she is the designated driver her friends are drunk which means she has to leave soon, and the phone just shows that she would rather be anywhere but here, like she has much more important things to do. Which let's me know she probably won't give me the time of day because I'm not the most important thing in her life right now," "She is the one, she is the one you got to date"

Darrelle's POV

"So what are you doing later?" I asked cutting the silence short.

"Why?"

"You can never just answer my question can you?" I asked over the phone.

"That would be too easy wouldn't it." She replied amused.

"Well my brother is having a house warming party and I want you to be there?"

"You are-okay Darrelle."

"No tell me what you were going to say." I said smiling and she laughed slightly.

"It's irrelevant."

"Okay Nia, I'll pick you up at 5:00."

"From work."

"You're staying back two hours."

"Yes, and I have to go, so I'll see you later." She replied ending the call making me chuckle.

I knocked on door waiting, watching as her eyes stayed planted on her phone screen. I smiled grabbing her phone and she rolled her eyes reaching for it making me chuckle.

"Can you leave the phone tonight, and just be here with me?" I asked and her eyes drifted to the phone before going back to mine.

"Okay." She said reaching for it a smile playing on her lips.

"No work?"
