I gasped. “Face—”
“Nah, let me finish,” he snarled. “I told them that you were leaving, and they cried their eyes out. I aint never seen them so upset. So, I told them that it was a prank, then called my mama to pick them up.”
“So, you sent them away to put me out?” My heart pounded in my chest.
“Nah.” He shook my head. “I had pulled out way more clothes than this. Then I started putting shit back, and got tired. I sent the girls away, because I needed to clear my head. Had to be honest with myself. Shit aint that simple. The girls love you. You’re having my babies. And I would never want youin any type of discomfort. So, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night, if you wasn’t
under the same roof. That means that this isyourhome, and you don’t have to go nowhere. But…I also know my place with you. It don’t matter how many times I tell you that I love you. Or how I go out of my way to show you. I stepped in the middle of you and that man. He’s all you know, and you’ll probably always love him. I get that. But as a man with pride, there’s no way that I can see myself being with somebody who still loves her ex. So, I wanna shelf the relationship. We can focus on the kids, for now. And see where this shit takes us.”
“What?” My eyes filled with tears. “Look, baby, I know that I was wrong for not telling you about the visit. But I wanted to close that chapter. I literally have all that man’s personal belongings. He kept getting people to call me. So, I went down there to clear the air. Tell him to his face that there was no going back. He literally saw my belly. He knows that it’s real, Face. It’s over between me and him.”

“I know, and I’m sorrily,” I boohooed.
He shook his head. “Those tears aint gon work today.”
I sniveled. “But it wasn’t like that, baby. I swear to God. I loveyou. I wanna be with you.” I stepped up to him, and attempted to wrap my arms around him.
“Move, Babi.” He pushed me back. “I said what I said.” He stood up. “I aint fucking with you. So, go sit on the phone with that nigga.” He stepped around me, before pausing, and glancing over his shoulder. “Nah, don’t do that. Not in this house, unless you want me to lose my mind. But fuck you, though,” he spat, before stomping out of the room.
I wasn’t used to this. Whenever Face was home, he’d give me his undivided attention. Even when he spent time with the kids, I was usually right there too, because the girls would insist on it. So, I was out my body, as this man had been giving me the silent treatment for the past three days.
I was so used to the cuddles, sweet nothings whispered in my ear, and the sex. We usually couldn’t keep our hands o" one another, and now this nigga was literally laying in the bed, with his back turned on me. I’d tried sparking up a conversation, and he would just nod or mumble.
I’d tried apologizing. Several times. And he’d just stare at me like I was crazy. I felt like I’d lost my best friend, and I didn’t know what to do with that.
Not being able to sleep, I was gazing at the ceiling, while the TV softly played reruns ofMartin. My stomach was twisted in knots, as I feared that I was really losing my man.
“Fuck that,” I grumbled, as I rolled over, and threw a leg over Face’s leg.
He sighed heavily, and flung my leg off him. I tossed it right
back on him. He tried to toss my leg again, but I stiffened it. Then I wrapped my arms around him from behind.
“Babi, man, chill out.”
“No.” I puckered my lips. “Give me a kiss.” I craned my neck and kissed his cheek.
When he didn’t say anything, I reached around and groped his dick through his boxers. I smiled when I felt that he was rock hard. That meant that he wasn’t mad enough to be turned of.
Reaching into his boxers, I gripped his dick and stroked him. “Maannn,” he drawled. “You tripping.” He snatched my hand
outofhisdrawls,andtosseditback.
“No, you tripping,” I gritted, as I clutched his shoulder. “You need to get out of them feelings, and give me some dick. My hormones are raging and I wanna fuck.” I yanked him onto his back, and straddled him with my sheer nightie hiked over my ass.
“Babi, what the fuck?”
I curled my lips. “Shut up.” I scooted back to pull his dick out of his boxers.
Glaring at him, I jacked his dick of, while he glared back at me. And then I lifted my ass, and pressed my slit against his mush-room head, before sliding down.
“Umm,” we moaned in unison, both needing this.
I leaned forward, while eagerly bouncing my ass. “I don’t know why you acting like you don’t know what it is. I can’t even sleep good at night, if you don’t slide this big dick in this pussy. And you been tripping, acting like this aintmydick. And I’ma ride it until I cum. Then I’ll suck all my juices of that dick. You hear me, daddy?”
