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"

Chapter 12

Darrelle's POV

My phone rang and I opened my eyes groaning when I realized it was still dark out, I grabbed my phone already pissed.

"This better be God." I said into the phone the moment I answered it.

"It's Nia."

"What's up?" I asked rolling over to lay on my back, becoming more alert, as I checked the time, my irritation disappearing slowly.

"I'm outside." She said softly, I ended the call going downstairs, opening the door to see her outside an umbrella over her head since it was raining. She stepped in and I closed the door taking the umbrella putting it to the side.

"Are you okay?" I asked her, worry consuming me.

"I got into an argument with Tevin." She said frustrated and I moved closer pulling her into me, she didn't protest she just wrapped her hands around my waist resting her head against my chest.
