HAPPY READING 🥰

Annabelle Inniss

I am in shock Cindy came to the party. last Sean told me, she didn't respond to his calls. The look on her face was priceless when he kissed the corner of my lips.

I walk outside with Steph holding my hand. Jinette follows and we help the kids that arrived to put on their spiderman masks and party hats.

Steph was clinging to me and didn't want to let go. His mother is here and I didn't want her thinking I took over her son.

I have all these mixed feelings about what's going to happen now. Sean has a history with her and he loved her at one point in his life. But I have to trust what he said to me. There this connection between us and we can't seem to take our hands off one another once we are together.

If she's here to work on their marriage, what then, I don't want to come in between that and break up their home. Technically she did, but I'm no home wrecker.

I've decided not to jump the gun and wait on Sean to make a decision. We have been talking every day since he visited me and I have confidence in him.

Just as I was busying myself helping the kids. they aren't plenty but they are a handful. Sean and Cindy came walking out. I don't know what he said to her but she glides her hand along his shoulder smiling at him. My heart constricts as jealousy raise its ugly head. I wanted to run out of there but Jinette saw me staring at them and held my hand turning my focus back to the kids.

I continue to help Jinette because I didn't want to cause a scene at Steph's birthday party. But I couldn't help how I was feeling. Sean didn't react to it he just walks off going to the guys.

My mind was racing with what could it mean. Were they talking of getting back together or are they back together? where does that leave me and why did I build my hopes so high? and envision a future for us. She could satisfy him in ways I can't because I'm inexperienced and she knows what Sean preferred in the bedroom unlike me. It made me uncomfortable that I didn't know his sexual history. Maybe he would prefer her because she's experienced and knows what he likes. I feel like she has the upper hand because she knows him better than I do.

When he visited me, he had to relieve himself in the bathroom because I wasn't ready and he wasn't either. What if......

Jinette realizes my mind has wondered off and step to me. "Don't start assuming anything and wait to talk to him. I've made that mistake too many times and it's never what it seems. Just wait and give him the benefit of the doubt."

Just then Cindy walks up to us "hello ladies, Jinette" she walks up to her hugging her which Jinette reciprocate.

"Anna." She stretches out her hands to me and I accept, shaking her hand.

"Thank you guys for helping out Sean. Making Steph day wonderful."

"It's no worries Cindy, Steph means a lot to me and I couldn't be anyplace else than here." Says Jinette. "How are you and Brian," she asks. 

"Couldn't be better," reply Jinette. "so where's the baby" she inquires "he's taking a nap, he got tired from watching all the running around and screams."

"Look Jinette I'm sorry for...." "Stop, Cindy don't. You did what was best for you. We all understand, what I don't understand is you throwing our friendship out the window because we didn't see eye to eye on what you wanted. You didn't have to do what I wanted. All you had to do was continue to be my friend. This is not the place for this discussion. Since I wasn't important enough for a phone call as much let me continue to be that invisible to you."

I stood there stupid not knowing what to say or how to calm Jinette down. She was so hurt about the way Cindy left. I understand how she feels though. If Jinette had gone on to live her life and didn't return my calls or try to call me I would disown her ass because we are more than friends. "Mom, mom you want to see me shoot my web. Steph held Cindy's hand running off" breaking the awkwardness that surrounds us. I'm relieved Cindy didn't reply and walk off with Steph. I can understand both sides if I didn't have my career I probably wouldn't have my identity but in the end, it's the way Cindy made those around her feel when she left.

When it was time to cut his cake Steph was determined to have me cut his cake. He made everyone laugh how he pout and frown his face. He's so adorable and when he finds out I'm his father's girlfriend I don't know how his little heart will take it.

Today is not the day to tell him that his mom and dad are no longer together and I'm the girlfriend. It will be difficult to accept it all at once. I will give Sean and Cindy the chance to do so and to spend some time with Steph since it's been months since they were last together with him.

The party has come to an end and the kids were beginning to leave, Jinette was feeding Jorden, miss Sarah and I were clearing up the tables while Brian and Sean were packing up and arranging stuff. Cindy was off somewhere with Steph.

We all finished cleaning when Brian and Jinette were ready to leave. I hurriedly went to get my luggage to follow them.

"Where do you think you're going."

His voice straddles me and I quickly turn around. "I will stay at Jinette and Brian until I have to travel back."

"I don't know what you have going on in that beautiful head of yours but I invited you here and you're not leaving my house so decide for yourself either I tie you up or you stay willingly."

"Sean, Brian and Jinette are waiting on me." I try to argue, I really think he needs this time with Cindy to talk.

"I told them to leave," he looks at me uneasy as if he's studying my next move.

"Why did you do that," I try to move past him but he blocks my path.

"If Cindy being here offends you I'm sorry. I didn't know she was coming. I was hoping you and I could talk to Steph together. I assure you she's not staying in my house and I want you here."

"Sean you guys need to talk and I will only be in your way, so let me go."

"What's this Annabelle," he points his finger between us. "Tell me, every time I make two steps with you it's like I go ten backward. Why can't you talk to me?"

"I am talking to you, I'm just giving you your space to deal with things."

"Deal with what things."

"Things with your wife," I say timidity.

"Did I tell you I need space Annabelle? goodness woman, do you take pride in infuriating me?" He puts his hand to his waist.

I put my suitcase down lowering my head. He walks up to me tilting my head so he can look into my eyes "I need my beautiful lady in my arms, please don't go." With all the emotions swirling around in me, I become choke up and tears burn my eyes. I had to admit jealousy was peeking its ugly head and my mind wasn't helping matters as I was becoming uneasy with Cindy's presence in his house.

"No beautiful lady, don't cry." He grips my hands drawing me to his chest and holding me until I calm down. He places his hands on my back drawing circle.

He leans his head down to my face ever so gently he brushes his lips against mine. I open giving him access, his tongue slithers in my mouth and our tongue takes off dancing to a tempo. We are so wrapped in the moment we forgot our surrounding. I moan into the kiss becoming aroused and caress his back pressing his head into mine.

He let out a husky whimper and pick me off the floor. I wrap my legs around his waist and rub my core to his manhood to create some friction between my legs.

"What the hell Sean!" Came Cindy's aggressive scream.

We quickly pull apart panting heavily as I slide my leg down his waist.
