New Beginning

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

Raya

"Naomi showed me a sketch of how she's going to design the smoothie shop. It's going to look real futuristic and modern. I didn't know she had an eye like that," Chris told me. I had him over the house with me because Danny didn't come home last night. No surprise there. He told me he was coming home later tonight and I told him to take his time. I had work to do anyways. This is really our marriage now and sincerely I don't give an ounce of a fuck . That bitch can have his worthless ass. He's no flex.

"Oh yeah Naomi is cold with that type of shit. She helped with me with decorating some of the house."

"Word? I'm excited to see what she does with the space."

"You're going to love it. Trust me." I went back to researching what products I would like to add in my line. A good face moisturizer is always a great product to have so I jotted it down on my list.

"Raya?"

"Hmmm," I responded still writing.

"I just want to say you look incredibly sexy working hard and all, but do you think it would be too much to ask if you showed your boy a little love?"
I wrote down one more idea before I looked at him with a smirk.

"You want some attention boo?"

"I very much do," he didn't hesitate to answer. "C'mere I haven't seen you in days."
I walked over to him then I straddled his lap. He smelled delicious, but there's never a time that he doesn't.

"I missed you," he gave me a few pecks that made me feel warm all over.

"I missed you more," I said returning the kisses. I've missed him a whole lot. Being around Danny made me miss Chris heavily. With my new life of balancing being a mother and a brand new entrepreneur alongside of a cheated spouse shit has been tough. He just knew how to bring the best of me out in the worst situations and I needed his solidness.

"Sooo Valentine's is next week. I can't wait until you see your surprise," he grinned smacking me on the butt. I've been so busy that I hadn't had time to get him anything and it made me feel bad. He's been surprising me left to right and all I ever really done for this man was buy him a smoothie. He goes all out for me and I just wanted to show him I appreciated it so much by giving him something other than pussy lol.

"I knooow! The suspense is killing me," I pouted. "You know whenever we officially get together I just hope you know and understand you won't get away with this much longer. I'm nosy as hell and I can sniff out those type of things like that," I snapped my fingers. He merely waved me off.

"Pause on the other bullshit you talking. I just need to confirm that you do in fact want to be with me one day?"

"Duhhh," I rolled my eyes. "That's going to be the goal."

"I can't wait girl," he pulled me in for another kiss. Right afterwards the doorbell rung causing the both of us to jump in our skin. I got off his lap in a hurry to see who the hell could've been at the door. Looking inside the peephole I silently cursed to myself seeing my cousin Asia standing on the other side with a smile on her face.

"Shit," I mumbled with a face palm.

"Who is it," Chris whispered from around the corner.

"My cousin," I whispered back. "Just stay right there I'll get rid of her."

"Raya can you open up the damn door," Asia asked impatiently. I gathered my emotions before I slightly opened.

"Hey Asia what are you doing here... with Tremaine," I asked, completely confused seeing Tremaine on the side of her with a container of food.

"Could you at least pretend to be happy to see me," Asia frowned.
