When Jason and Darrelle make a bet involving Darrell's dating life, he thought it would be easy since women were usually his strong suit. What he didn't know is that he would end up with Nia Graham, a lawyer who became well known after defending a wrongly accused black man. Nia had been by herself for so long without a man, she had learned to live without one, her independent nature makes it difficult for Darrelle. 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"

The Bet

The ringing continued and I rolled over realizing it was my phone, I picked it up running my hand over my face. I answered it realized that it was Nia calling.


"And you just got off work? " I asked. 


"I got off at one, I got home at two." He clarified and I chuckled.


"Baby that isn't any better, it isn't healthy."


"I know, I'm going to let you get some sleep." She mumbled her mood changing slightly probably from my choice of a nickname.


"I don't know, I just wanna talk, just say something." I said closing my eyes.


"I should probably let you sleep, shouldn't I?"


"Yes." She replied amused and I smiled.


"I'm going to take a shower and then go to bed."


"Well do that and bring me along." I said and I heard the sweet sound of her laughter through the phone.
