He was a gentleman; his large hand remained on my lower back the entire time we shopped. He made me feel like he belonged to me. Bleu’s eyes didn’t wander to gawk at other women. In fact, he paid close attention to wherever my eyes landed. It’s like whatever I saw that I wanted through my eyes, Bleu guided me to it then slid his card. I guess that was what women talked about when they yearned for a soft life with a man.
We got to know each other, talked about our family and even laughed about how wild his younger brother was. It was amazing to see a man like Bleu loosen up and just be himself. We went out to eat, and I damn near choked on my steak when he admitted to never watching the movie ‘Friday’. When we made it back to his penthouse, I made him get in bed with me and watch the movie. After that he rocked my damn world into the wee morning.
Sunday, I woke up to breakfast again. I mainly slept half the day away while Bleu went into his guest room to work on his laptop. I ended up getting woke out of my sleep to him softly licking my pussy. It’s like he was addicted to just eating it and it started to fuck with my mind.
His gentleness, him asking if I was okay and even sitting me in his tub to bathe me scared me shitless, because it was something that I wasn’t used to. I left at four in the morning; I laid right next to him and watched him sleep peacefully before sliding out of the bed and leaving all of my shopping bags behind.
I convinced myself that it was just an extended one-night stand. It was time for me to get back to my reality and not just wait for him to get bored with me and dismiss me himself.
“Mommy!” The little voice came out louder.
I blinked and shot up fast, my heart constricted as I adjusted my eyes to the brightness of my room. My baby girl stood at the side of my bed, her eyes were watery, curls wild and all over her head. She held on to her stuffed bunny like she needed it to hug her. It hurt me that I saw rejection in her eyes when she stared at me intently.
“Lo Lo!” my voice cracked from the rush of emotions that hit me.
She giggled, carefully placed her bunny down then jumped on the bed. Without thinking twice, I pulled her into my arms and pressed my face against her tiny shoulder breathing her in. At least Aubry still used the oatmeal lotion that I stressed about him using on our baby. Lolani had sensitive skin, and oatmeal lotion was perfect for her.
“Mommy missed you so much, Lo Lo.” Tears stung my eyes before I could stop them.
“But you sleepy, mommy.” Her squeaky voice whined out.
I wanted to sob into her but didn’t want to scare her. I swallowed the painful lump in my throat and held her tighter, never wanting to let her go. Lolani’s tiny hand patted my back like she understood my pain of missing her.
“I missed you so much Lo Lo, you missed mommy?” I asked releasing her a bit.
Her tiny hands grabbed the side of my face; she nodded her head up and down then pouted her lips out. Contrast to my deep brown skin, Lolani’s caramel complexion and wild curly hair came from her dad.
“I miss you, mommy.” She said lowly.
I looked into her diamond shaped face and stared into her eyes. It crushed me when I witnessed her eyes well up with tears. Without a doubt, I knew my baby loved me to pieces. She was just too young to understand the selfish games her father played.
Behind her, I caught movement in the doorway.
Aubry.
He leaned against the frame; arms crossed with that familiar frown carved deep into his face. My stomach clenched then suddenly I felt sick. The kind of sick that you get in the morning when your stomach tells you it’s time to go take a shit.
“You look like hell, Truly.” His voice was low, but I didn’t miss the sharpness attached to it.
He stepped fully inside of my room; his cologne was a little too strong as he took a seat on my soft pink chaise. It was Monday, and Aubry had on street clothes with his gold jewelry on display. By it being Monday, he should’ve had on his business clothes, Aubry should be at daycare… what was the problem?
“Good morning to you too, Aubry.” I offered him a smug smile.
“Ashley and I are getting a divorce. Lo Lo,” he cleared his throat to get my baby attention.
“I smell the cookies pop pop is making downstairs, go get some while me and mommy talk.” He relaxed his face into a gentle smile.
Lolani looked away from her dad and back at me to get my reassurance. I smiled brightly at her then pecked the tip of her nose.
“Go baby, mommy need to brush my teeth and wash my face. Me and daddy have to talk.” I reassured her.
She nodded sadly before throwing her arms around my neck. I threw the covers off of me and slid out of the bed with her. Standing to my feet, I couldn’t stop the well overdue stretch. With my hands above my head, I stretched my body as far as it could go then released the breath I was holding. Lolani was already out the door; her little footsteps could be heard running down the hallway.
“Sheesh.” I muttered.
My body hurt like hell. I almost forgot Aubry was sitting in my room with his eyes roaming my half naked body. I had a baby white tee on, no bra and panty briefs that my ass ate up since I was tossing and turning since I got home.
“Where the fuck you been all weekend?” He gritted out lowly.
