Les Tales by Nikki Rashan Skyy Page B

home. I’ll call you later, babe.” The girl walked off and got in the car with the group of friends she had come with.
    As soon as her car turned the corner, we all erupted in laughter. Jason stood still, staring at the sky.
    â€œFuck all of you.” Jason shook his head.
    â€œY’all should have seen them last night. It was so cute. All cuddled up and shit.” Carlos put his arm around Jason. “You two make such a cute couple.”
    We laughed as Jason pushed Carlos off of him.
    â€œAnd what, or who, did you get into last night, Carlos?” I asked as I nudged him on his shoulder.
    â€œHoney, I got into a few somethings and someones. Hell, it’s Dragon Con, after all.” Jason smiled, showing off all his pearly whites.
    Carlos’s truck arrived from the valet. The guys put Nia’s stuff in the truck as Cree and I hugged our friend. We said our final good-byes as she started to get in the truck.
    â€œNia!”
    Our mouths dropped open as Kirk came walking out of the hotel toward us. Even the people around us stood in amazement as the gorgeous star came over to our friend. He had a very serious look on his face.
    â€œKirk, what are you doing here?” Nia said, more surprised than all of us.
    Kirk nodded his head, saying hello to us without words. He took Nia by her hand and pulled her off to the side. He lowered his head.
    â€œSo I was sitting in the interview and they asked me how my Dragon Con was and I couldn’t remember much besides the time we spent together. I realized that I wasn’t quite ready for the time to be over.”
    â€œOh.” Nia couldn’t move.
    â€œI was wondering if you might want to have dinner with me.”
    â€œWhat about your flight?” asked Nia.
    Kirk smiled. “There will be others. So, Miss Nia, you showed me Dragon Con. How about showing me Atlanta?”
    Cree and I held each other’s arms as we watched our friend work her charm on Kirk. We wanted to jump up and down, but we remained calm. I was happy for her, but I couldn’t help but be a little envious of her. I wanted Ursula to appear suddenly, and from the look on Cree’s face, she yearned for Les to make an appearance as well.
    Nia walked back over to us while Kirk talked to the handlers he had had all weekend. She was smiling from ear to ear.
    â€œSo seems I have a date, so, um, I will talk to you all later. Girls, call me and let me know you made it home safely.” She hugged each of us. “Carlos, just take my stuff to your crib. I’ll get it later.”
    â€œThe fuck I look like? Your personal butler?” Carlos jokingly protested.
    Cree and I hugged Carlos and Jason, and they headed off.
    Cree and I decided to share a cab. The driver headed toward the Megabus drop-off location for me. I looked over at Cree, who was staring out the window.
    â€œI can’t believe it’s over.” I sighed.
    â€œLes has a girlfriend. He’s still involved with his baby’s mother.”
    My head shot toward her. She continued to stare out the window.
    â€œAnd he told you this when?”
    â€œAfterward.”
    I rubbed Cree’s back to comfort her. “I’m sorry, honey. Are you okay?”
    â€œHe said he doesn’t want to stop seeing me.”
    â€œUm, so, what? He wants you as his side chick?” I instantly didn’t like Les anymore.
    Cree turned her head toward me. “He said that he wants to start to get to know me and see where it goes. He said there’s nothing really serious between them, but they are still involved due to the kid.”
    â€œAnd what do you believe?”
    Cree sighed. “I believe that I just had the best night of my life with a man I have been in love with since I first saw him, and I think he just played me.” Tears began to flow from Cree’s eyes.
    I didn’t know what to say. I knew that she was probably right. The asshole had used her for sex, and I
