Secrets and Lies

The "Faithful" Wife

Lila

"I love you baby."

"You too."

He kissed my forehead walking out the house. I grinned and laid back on the bed naked and happy. I loved Garrett and he loved me. He was so good to me. He knew when to put it down and how I liked it. And he was so big. I loved the feeling of him inside of me. He was amazing. My man.

I finally got up and showered. After dressing in a tank top and yoga pants I walked out the room and into my daughters room. She was sitting criss cross on her bed texting. She had on a half shirt with tights and sandals wearing bright red lipstick and eyeliner.

"Texas." I called.

She ignored me and continued on her phone.

"Texas!" I yelled.

"What Lila?!" She yelled back.

"I know you heard me."

"Actually I didn't. They have these things called headphones now that are used to block out annoying people like you."

"Take off the make up and put on some actual clothes."

"No."

"Texas." I scolded.

"If you can fuck that dude in your bed every other week then I can wear whatever the hell I want!"

She grabbed her bag barging past me.

I sighed running my hands through my hair. She was turning fourteen soon and I didn't know how much more of this attitude I can take. She caught me and Garrett once and now she's hated me ever since then.

I walked out her room into Theodore's. He was in his bed still asleep. I picked him up thinking it would wake him but he just laid on my chest snoring.

"Teddy wake up." I told him.

"No thank you." He mumbled turning and putting his thumb in his mouth.

"Don't you wanna go to school and learn?"

"Is daddy here?"

"No."

"Then no."

"Daddy!" I heard Texas scream.

Teddy jumped off me running downstairs. I followed behind him seeing Teddy cling to Jeremiah.

"I missed you Daddy." Texas told him.

"Yea daddy me too." Teddy spoke.

"I missed you too but Tex sweetheart could you put on a longer a shirt and maybe just some lipgloss?"

"Okay daddy." She smiles.

"Hi baby." He greeted.

I walked over to him letting his hand wrap around my waist and hold me against him. I could hear Texas groan behind me and stomp up the stairs.

"What's wrong with her?" Jeremiah asked.

"Nothing, she's a teenager."

"And why are you still in pajamas?" He asked Teddy.

"Because you took too long to get home." Teddy recounted.

"Then now you can head upstairs and brush your teeth."

He rolled his eyes going back upstairs to the bathroom.

Jeremiah smiled down at me kissing my forehead.

"How was your morning?" He asked.

"Horrible, I missed you too much." I pouted.

"Aww babe I'm sorry. We just got caught up."

"Yea I'm sure."

"How many times do I have to tell you that she's just my friend, my best friend, my only friend. Stop worrying Lila."

"I'll stop if you give me something to make me forget." I purred.

"Not now babe I'm tired and I have to shower and head right back. We've got a big case going on."

I groaned walking into the kitchen.

This is why I cheat. He never has time for me. He's always working or with his "best friend". It's sickening.

I opened the fridge pulling out the granola and mixing it with some yogurt and strawberries.

"Come on Theodore or we'll be late to the bus!" Tex yelled.

"Okay Texas you're hurting my arm!" Teddy yelled back.

"Bye Dad, Bye Lila." Texas called.

"Bye mommy, bye daddy." Teddy yelled after.

The door slammed shut as I sat down eating my parfait. Jeremiah came down the stairs in a towel. I watched as the water rolled down his chest and hit the towel at his lower waist. He walked in and I stood up grabbing the front of his towel pulling him toward me. I licked the droplets off his chest kissing my way up to his neck. I pushed him against the wall biting his neck as I reached down into his towel grabbing his dick.

"Woah Baby. What are you doing?" He questioned stopping me.

"About to have sex." I answered dumbfounded.

"Which we should do only in our marital bed."

I groaned pushing him away. That was one flaw I couldn't stand about him. He was so high off Jesus it was annoying. He just had to do everything by the bible. I mean I'm Christian too but come on! Have a little fun now and then and stop living back in the time of Mary and Joseph!

"Babe. . ." He sighed.

"Just forget it Jeremiah. Go back to work."

He opened his mouth to say something but decided not to and headed upstairs. I put my head down on the table resting my nerves. About thirty minutes later I heard him come down the stairs.

"I'll try to be home tonight and not stay over at the office." He told me.

I ignored him feeling him kiss the top of my head and leave out the door. I sat up and pulled out my phone scrolling through my contacts.

BD

I clicked the name putting the phone to my ear. After a few rings he finally answered.

"Hey Big Daddy." I purred.

"Hi momma." He spoke.

"Oh so Boo Boo Kitty must be there huh?"

"Yes mother, please hold on." He gritted out.

"Tell Wifey I said Hey!"

I heard his door shut and the steps creek.

"What the hell is your problem Lila?! It's the middle of the night!"

"I'm sorry Garrett baby, it's morning here."

"This is how you got cut off the last time. I told you don't call me unless I text you first."

"I feel like your lap dog or something."

"You can be one if you keep it up."

"Okay I'm sorry."

"Goodbye Lila."

"I love you."

"You too."

I hung up smiling. Little Ms. Bailey was just for now. I'll be Mrs. Michaels soon enough.
