“I love you too, mommy.”
And lyin’ there with her in my arms, my daughter sleepin’ right beside us, and nothin’ hangin’ over my head no more, I knew one thing for sure…
I was done playin’ with what I had.
This time, I was givin’ my wife everything.
Today, me and Kay’Lo was headin’ to Port Laurent, and I ain’t even gon’ lie, I been ready for this trip the second everything got cleared and we could finally breathe without feelin’ like somethin’ was hangin’ over us. It felt good just knowin’ we was about to leave all that behind, get on that jet, and go somewhere that ain’t have nothin’ to do with courtrooms, lawyers, or nobody tryna take my man from me.
But sittin’ in the passenger seat, watchin’ Kay’Lo drive, I could tell he wasn’t all the way in it like I was.
That man kept lookin’ in the rearview mirror like every five seconds, checkin’ on My’Love like she wasn’t right there behind us, sleepin’ peacefully in her car seat.
“My baby,” he murmured, his voice low and soft in a way that made me smile even though I was tryin’ not to laugh. “You gon’ be good for grandma and grandpa, a’ight? Don’t be actin’ up.”
I turned my head and looked at him, already knowin’ where this was goin’. “Kay’Lo… she sleep.”
“I know she sleep,” he said, but that ain’t stop him from talkin’. “I’m just sayin’, I want her to hear me.”
“She four months,” I said, smirkin’. “What she hearin’?”
He sucked his teeth, but he still glanced back again. “Man, she know my voice.”
That had me laughin’ low, shakin’ my head while I reached over and rubbed my hand across his back slow. “She gon’ be fine. You the one I’m worried about.”
That made him cut his eyes at me. “What you mean?”
“I mean you actin’ like you droppin’ her off for the rest of her life,” I said, still rubbin’ his back. “It’s one week.”
He tightened his grip on the wheel. “I ain’t never said I was okay with this shit.”
“I know you didn’t,” I said soft, lettin’ my hand rest on him for a second longer. “But she with yo’ mama and daddy. Ain’t nobody better than them.”
He ain’t argue with that, ’cause he knew it was true, but I could still see it all over him. That man loved his daughter different and leavin’ her for even a couple days was somethin’ he had to push himself through.
By the time we pulled up to his parents’ place, he ain’t say much else. He just put the code in and let the gate open so we could drive through. That mansion always had this calm feel to it, like everything inside was already handled before you even stepped foot in there.
Kay’Lo parked, then got out quick, and before I could even open my door, he was already here, pullin’ it open for me.
Soon as I stepped out, he grabbed me and pushed me back against the car like he forgot we was here for a reason.
I looked up at him, already blushin’, and slid my hand down his chest slow, lettin’ my fingers drag before I dipped lower andgrabbed his dick through his pants just enough to make him react.
His head dropped forward, and he bit his bottom lip before leanin’ close to my ear. “You better chill,” he murmured.
I smirked and tightened my grip just a lil’. “You the one that came up on me.”
Before he could even come back with somethin’ slick, I heard Treasure’s voice behind us.
“Well… I was coming out to greet you, but it looks like I walked into something else entirely.”
I covered my mouth, laughin’ while I eased back from Kay’Lo, and he just shook his head like he already knew we was caught.
“We was comin’ in,” I said, still smilin’.
“I’m sure you were, sweetheart,” she replied, her eyes flickin’ down for just a second before she looked back at me. “But the way you had my son by his balls, I wasn’t convinced you were in any kind of rush.”
That had me laughin’ harder, and I stepped fully away this time while Kay’Lo ran his hand over his face like he was tryin’ not to laugh himself.
