Chapter Three

Isa

I’d spent the morning aligning my mind and body at the yoga studio downtown. The minute I started to walk across the street to make my way back to my car, my phone rang. I looked down to see a familiar number. I didn’t have to save to know who it was. Instantly, my breathing was all out of whack.

“Um, hi,” I answered for Elijah.

"Do you have anything better to do later?"

“I’m getting married in a few weeks. I always have something to do. What’s up?”

"What would you say if you and I were to go somewhere?"

“Where is somewhere? And why do you need me to go with you?” I inquired before unlocking my car and getting inside.

“I wanna show you something. Y’know, to help with the article.”

“The article, huh?”

“Yup. Scouts honor.”

I rolled my eyes. “You know damn well you weren’t a boy scout.”

He laughed. “C’mon. I promise I ain’t on no bullshit.”

“Okay, fine. Give me like an hour, and I’ll meet you outside your hotel.”

“Bet. You’re driving.”

My brows crumpled into a frown. “Excuse me?”

“Girl, I gotta watch my back. I’m not just anybody,” he joked.

I kissed my teeth while trying to stifle a smile. “Goodbye!”

After following the GPS to our location, I pulled the car over in front of a small brick home with a yellow front door.

“The GPS says we’re here,” I announced.

“Yeah, we are.”

I looked around at the children scattered throughout the neighborhood playing in their yards. “And where exactly is here?”

“It’s the house I grew up in.”

“The one you told me about yesterday? Is it really?”

“Yeah. C’mon.”

“Wait. Wait. Wait. Why are we here, though?”

His shoulders rose and fell before he popped open my passenger side door and got out. “I didn’t wanna come alone.”

I exited the car and chased him as he approached the front door. “Hold up. Wait a second! Are we breaking and entering right now? I cannot be an accessory to whatever shit you think you’re about to pull right now!”

“Will you chill? It’s mine.”
