hesitating, but knowing her like he did, he knew she wouldn’t hesitate long. He picked out a piece of peppermint candy from the dish on her desk and stared at her. “So, why are you looking like the cat who ate the canary? What’s going on? What do you want to talk to me about?”
    She finally looked at him. “I need a favor, and I know it’s going to feel like it’s coming out of left field but hear me out.”
    â€œSure, what is it?” he replied.
    â€œWell, you know me and Trent broke up about four months ago, and since then, I just haven’t been lucky enough to meet anyone else,” she explained.
    Ramsey curiously listened to her. Keilah had become somewhat of a workaholic since her relationship with Howard University Professor, Trenton Daniels soured. Trenton was a decent guy. He just couldn’t handle Keilah being a bodyguard. Trent and Keilah dated heavily for about ten months after meeting in Union Station one Saturday afternoon. After several efforts to make their relationship work, they decided it was best they parted ways.
    Ramsey sat up in his chair and said, “Keilah, sadly it’s going to take a real man to be able to deal with this line of work. The crazy thing is that women I meet find it exciting when I tell them what I do, but for some reason, men are intimidated when they find out about you and the other women in this business. Don’t worry about it though. You’ll find the right guy.”
    â€œI hope you’re right, Ramsey, but in the meantime, I still need a favor,” she reminded him.
    â€œOkay, what is this favor? You know I’ll do anything for you.”
    Keilah hesitated again. “Before you agree, you need to hear me out.”
    He laughed and said, “All right.”
    â€œRamsey, I know you have a lot of lady friends you see on a regular basis, and I don’t want to cause a problem with your routine, but I was wondering if you would put me on your list until I can get out of this rut.”
    Ramsey was in a state of shock. He stared at her as he sat frozen in his seat.
    There was no way she could be asking him what he thought she was asking. Or could she? He cleared his throat. “Excuse me?”
    â€œLook Ramsey, I’m just going to say it. We’re both adults and should be able to handle this temporary arrangement with some maturity. I haven’t had sex in about four months, and there’s only so much that a battery operated device can do for me. I need some skin-to-skin contact really bad. So do you think you can help me out while I’m in this dry spell or not? No strings attached. I promise.”
    Ramsey couldn’t believe his ears. He couldn’t do anything but sit there and stare at her while he let her proposal sink in. “Wait a minute. Something must be wrong with my hearing because I know you didn’t just ask me what I think you asked me?”
    Keilah sort of giggled. She’d never seen Ramsey so at a loss for words. “Come on, Ramsey. You know what I’m asking. I’ve seen that case of condoms in your closet so stop acting so innocent. We’re friends, and a little extra-curricular activity on the side won’t hurt anything.”
    Ramsey burst out laughing. “Are you serious?”
    â€œYes, I’m serious. What do I have to do to convince you that I am?”
    Ramsey laughed again. “Where the hell is this coming from? Why me?”
    Keilah walked over and sat on the edge of her desk in front of him. This gave him a bird’s eye view of her magnificent legs, which he didn’t hesitate to take advantage of.
    â€œRamsey, we’re best friends, remember? We know each other like a book so that means you know I’m not going to sleep with just anybody.”
    He leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs in disbelief. “So what you’re saying is you want us to be sex buddies?”
    She giggled again. “If
