“What’s this?” I asked Mikayla as I held up a block with the letter A on it.
“A!”
“Good job,” Arsel praised.
We went through the rest of the alphabet, and she screamed and clapped when she recognized a letter. After we were done with that, we moved on to numbers. I found some flashcards online, and they seemed to work better for her.
After our learning hour, we moved to the couch and watched a movie.
Mikayla sat on the couch between Arsel and me. My heart was full as I watched both paying attention to the movie. Whenever Mikayla got excited about something, she pointed at the television and told Arsel to look, even though he was already looking.
“I almost forgot to tell you. There’s an event at work coming up, and I would love to have my wife on my arm.”
“That would be nice. I’ll see if my grandma could keep her for the night.”
“Okay.” He winked, then focused back on the TV when Mikayla got his attention.
We watched another movie until Mikayla took her nap. While she was sleeping, Arsel and I cuddled on the couch and talked while a movie played in the background.
He told me more about his work event, and I couldn’t wait to get dressed up and look good on my husband’s arm.
“Damn. My wife is all that and a bag of chips,” I joked as I walked up to Janiyah.
She was in the mirror putting on her earrings. We were getting ready to go to the fundraiser for my job, and I was looking forward to spending time with her.
“Really? You really gonna use that corny line?” Janiyah smiled at me in the mirror.
I put my hands around her waist and placed my chin on her neck. I looked at her in the mirror.
“Yeah. Corny or not, it’s true. You look good, baby.”
Janiyah found a dark blue dress she had in the closet with the tag still on it. She wore heels with a strap that went around her ankle.
“You look good, too.”
Janiyah giggled when I popped my collar. My suit was black, while my shirt and socks were the same color as her dress. Earlier in the day, I had gone to get a shape-up, so I looked fresh from the barbershop. My beard was washed and moisturized.
I glanced down at my watch to check the time. “I wish we had time for a quickie.” I ran my hand down her back and gripped her ass.
“No, sir. We don’t have time, and I’m not trying to take this dress off.”
“Shit, I don’t need you to take it off, just pull it up.”
“Arsel, we don’t have time.” She turned around and faced me. “We’ll have plenty of time when we get home.” She stood on her tiptoes and kissed the side of my mouth. “We’ll have the house to ourselves, so you never know what could happen.” She winked at me, then walked away.
I had to adjust myself because Janiyah being so close, smelling so good, and talking the way she did made my dick hard.
“I’m going to hold you to that. Are you almost ready?”
“Yes.”
As soon as she answered, her phone rang.
“It’s my grandma.”
Janiyah answered the phone, and I watched an array of emotions etch across her face. I could tell something was wrong, and by the way she looked at me, I knew I wasn’t going to like it. She stayed on the phone for a few minutes, then hung up.
“What’s wrong?” I asked as soon as she put the phone on the dresser.
