Lela was taken by surprise when Neil took her hand in his and kissed it, his lips lingering longer than an average friendly kiss.
Because their eyes were locked on each other, neither Lela nor Neil noticed Trey and Tonya staring at them. Without a doubt, Trey's friend had Lela's full attention.
Trey cleared his throat and added, "Neil works over at Naytek with me, cuz."
"I remember meeting you some years back, but nice to meet with you again, Neil," was Lela's reply to the teasing hand kiss. The last thing she wanted was to look like the desperate broads he just practically ran away from…and she definitely didn't need a rebound man. So, she shook the image playing in her head of this gentleman's lips touching her in more treasured places.
"Likewise," he said while massaging her hand which he still held.
"Okay." Lela moved her hand back to her side on the sly. She also moved her glance to Tonya to avert her attention from the intriguing man.
Tonya waited impatiently for Trey to acknowledge her standing there. To get attention, she cleared her throat. "And I am…"
"…her chicken head friend, Tonya," Trey joked. Trey had a thing for Tonya since seventh grade, but tried not to let it be known.
"I know you didn't go there. Whatever, Trey." Tonya shot Trey a look that only he knew what it meant, and then extended her hand to Neil for a handshake. Instead, he took her hand in his and placed a brief kiss on it.
The foursome became acquainted with each other while strolling to the club's entrance. At the door, as expected, Spanky started with his Mack Daddy mode. As he scanned down the front of her body with the metal detector, he eyeballed Lela like a kid would a lollipop.
Spanky smiled, showing off his platinum grill. "You know I've been missing me some Lela. Why you don't call a brotha sometimes?" When he walked around to scan her back with his wand, he added loudly, "Umph, umph, umph. It ought to be a law against it. I been missing this juicy booty of yours, too."
Silently wishing he would hurry up and do his job, Lela did well with ignoring him. That is, until he took it too far and rubbed her behind longer and more sensually than the job called for.
Lela spun around and tried to slap the taste out his mouth. "Keep your grimy hands off me Spanky! You can only wish you still had it like that."
