the house with Todd, who was now in medical school at UCSF, but most of the time he was alone. On Sundays, he went to church. Whenever he had a light Saturday, he volunteered as a tutor at True Worship’s Community Center or he’d spend time with the Simone family.
    Today’s agenda included hanging out with brothers, Marcus and Craig, and Justin. The Simone first cousins met him at Reggie and Julia’s house. They’d agreed to meet in Blackhawk in hopes of talking Julia into letting them borrow her new Jaguar.
    “Come on, Auntie. Let us take her on the highway,” Justin pleaded.
    “Why don’t you ask your father for his car?” Julia asked with her fist planted at her waist. Justin was Julia’s older brother, Stephan’s son. She then turned to her oldest brother Carey’s sons, Marcus and Craig. “And your father has a brand new Bentley in his garage.”
    “Auntie, you know my dad won’t even let us look at that car without leaving a vital body organ for collateral,” Marcus answered.
    “Mama J, I promise I’ll drive and I’ll be extra careful.” Brian flashed the smile he knew would work. “We’re only going to Dave and Buster’s. I promise we’ll come straight back after we’re done.”
    Reggie handed Brian the keys. It was common knowledge Julia could not say no to Brian, especially when he smiled displaying that deep left dimple. Reggie had used that same smile on her in the past and it worked every time.
    “Don’t think you’re getting over on me,” Julia said sternly and narrowed her eyes at Brian. “If I find one scratch on my car, I’m going to beat all four of your behinds.”
    Brian and her nephews kissed Julia on the cheek and made a dash for the door.
    Later inside Dave and Buster’s the young men were enjoying a friendly game of pool, when a young lady approached Brian. He had just called his shot in the corner pocket when the woman leaned over the table and in a sultry voice asked, “Mind if I join you?”
    The Simones laughed as Brian lost his concentration. The low -cut top the young lady wore gave him more than an eyeful.
    Brian cleared his throat and regrouped. “Excuse me , Miss, but we are in the middle of a game. When we’re finished, you can find someone who wants to look at your breasts then you can play with them.”
    “Ouch!” Marcus and Justin shrieked.
    “Man, that was nasty!” Craig added.
    The young lady’s smile disappeared and she slowly retreated back. They resumed play. Brian didn’t give her a second look the whole time he was playing; he actually forgot she was there. As soon as his game ended, she approached him again. This time she adjusted her top so her breast s were covered.
    “Hello, my name is Shannon. I’m sorry if I offended you earlier.”
    “Hello, Shannon, my name is Brian. I accept your apology.” Brian turned away to talk to the boys, but Shannon wasn’t finished.
    “I only interrupted your game because you’re so handsome and I would like to get to know you,” the young lady flirted.
    Brian gave her a good once-over. Shannon wasn’t unattractive; she just wasn’t his type. His preference was lighter-complexioned taller women and she was too skinny. He estimated her to be a size six, but he liked women with a little more substance to them. Shay’s size-ten was perfect. He did like her long hair, but he could tell it wasn’t naturally grown, at least not on her head. The green eye color wasn’t natural either and she wore far too much makeup.
    “Like I said, my name is Brian, besides that there isn’t much to know.”
    She stepped closer to him. “I think there’s a whole lot more to you.” She licked her lips as the words flowed.
    Although Brian had little experience with women outside of Shay, he detested overly aggressive females. He preferred to do the chasing. Brian looked to Marcus for help.
    “Sorry, Shannon, he’s already taken,” Marcus offered.
    “I don’t see a ring on his finger.” She rolled her eyes at
