“Aight, when school starts back, I know your schedule is going to slow down. You owe me a few days, and I’m not taking no for an answer. This is my treat to you for helping my niece and nephew.”
“Owe you?” She raised her eyebrow.
“Yes, owe me.” I leaned in to kiss her neck.
It was something when we touched. Fire would spark between us, and neither of us could deny it when we locked eyes.
“Have a good day, Mr. Grant.”

“Good morning,”Kileen said as soon as I opened the damn door.
He was the last person I wanted to see. We had occasionally been texting, but it was nothing more than checking in to see how each other were doing.
“Good morning. What are you doing here?” I grabbed the roses from him.
“You forgot what today is?” He asked, closing the door behind him.
I paused for a minute to try to figure out if I forgot something, but nothing came to mind.
“Tati, it’s our—.” His thought was cut off by the doorbell.
“Delivery for Ms. Cole,” a guy said when Kileen answered the door.
I set the roses he had just bought down on the end table in the living room and went back to the door to see a big ass box of pink roses along with an envelope. Kileen picked it up and brought it into the house while I signed for it.
“Thank you.” I smiled at the delivery guy.
“Who the fuck is spending all this on some roses, Tati?” Kileen went in before I could close the door all the way.
“Don’t come in here questioning me, Kil. We are separated, and I have no idea who could have sent them. It could be a client for all I know.”
“From Venus et Fleur? Do you have any idea how much those cost?”
“No, I don’t, and I don’t care,” I told him as I admired them.
I knew who the hell was responsible, and it was none of my husband’s business. This was Jah’s doing. I grabbed the card and attempted to open it until Kileen snatched it away from me.
“Give me my shit, Kil. I have not bothered you once about your fucking family. Now give me my card.,” I said.
“Tati, move the fuck back.” He nudged me and ripped open the card.
“To Ms. Cole, I hope you love your favorite flowers and a yearly supply from your favorite coffee spot. Signed, you know what it is,” Kileen read the note out loud.
I tried to hide my smile, but the look Killen gave me let me know he was not in the mood to play with me. Shit, I wasn’t in the mood for him to be here, but here we were.
“Tati, are you fucking somebody else?” Kileen asked.
“Kileen, please don’t start. Why are you here again?”
“It’s our anniversary, or you so stuck on another nigga dick that you forgot?” He argued.
“No, I didn’t forget. I didn’t think we were celebrating since we were not together. Hell, we haven’t celebrated in a while, if my mind serves me correctly. You were too busy making another family.”
