What Brought Us Together

Checkmate.

It had been a whole day since Virtue and Exodus returned from their lovely honeymoon and they were tired as hell. Luckily they arrived back home on the weekend so they can be refreshed for the work week. When they get up, they get dressed and head to Mama Carryn's house. They were initially going to retrieve their dogs but they also wanted to check on Mama Carryn as well.

When they pulled up, Virtue rolled her eyes seeing Tarryn's car in the driveway. Virtue knew that Tarryn can hold a grudge and Virtue just didn't have time for that. One side eye and she dippin'.

Virtue used her key to get inside and the first thing that greeted her was their dogs. It seemed as if Vice grew over the course of a few days since she been gone so the love on him was instantaneous and fruitful.

"Hi Vicey! Hi my fat man!" She ruffled his ears as he wiggled his tail excitedly. Diesel had seen her as well and attacked her too. It wasn't too long before the boys recognized Exodus and got all up in his grill too.

Virtue noticed Tarryn's presence but she simply ignored her because she didn't have time for her shit today. She'll never admit it out loud but her feelings were still a little bruised from what she said over the phone, but she'll never say it out of her mouth.

She shot straight towards Mama Carryn as she walked to her with open arms. Mama Carryn hugs her tight as she thanked the Lord up above for bringing them back safely. Tarryn watched them hug it out and then she averts her eyes.

Virtue was really trying to get her doggy sons and go but Mama Carryn insisted that they stay for a while and tell her about their experience in Jamaica. Honestly, Virtue would love to stay and tell her about their experience, PG-13 of course, but she much rather go home when the vibes are up and energy cleared.

Upon entering, Exodus already knew how his wife was feeling so he knows that she's really not into the present right now. As her husband, he spoke up for her. "We're pretty much vegans because of Jamaica, Ms. Carryn,"

Mama Carryn smiles, looking over at Exodus who was holding Diesel like a baby. He then goes to describe all of the fruit that they had and how on the trip, they only had a full meal that had meat in it. Typical vacation behavior; they snacked in between, and ate light for the rest.

Currently, Exodus was showing her all of the pictures that they've taken together on his phone and Mama Carryn marveled at each one he showed her. Virtue wasn't even looking at the photos because she felt eyes on her. Tarryn's eyes specifically.

They were having an indiscreet stare-off until Virtue gets irritated and roll her neck at her. Tarryn was about to react but Ephraim coming out of the bathroom hindered her from doing so. He excitedly walked over to Exodus and they hug it out.

"Look at you! Lookin' all dark and handsome," Ephraim childishly complimented and Exodus patted his chest with a look.

Exodus wasn't the only one who was looking all dark chocolate. Virtue got dark too because they've been in the sun since they've arrived. Exodus was definitely looking at her as there couldn't possibly be an end to her rich skin. 

"Well you know..." He ran a hand over his waves and does a lightskin face, licking his lips dramatically.

Virtue gathered her stuff and stood up. "Exodus we're leaving," She said, picking up Vice since he was near her and walking to the door.
