"If Not Us, Then Who?"

Chapter 2 You better check her Thaddeus

The baecation was just what Lexy and Teak needed . Lexy enjoyed herself at the pool and the day parties on the boat .
Teak planned a day for her to swim the dolphins.
She loved the water and animals but she always says she don't want one in her house . She's a neat freak and she feels all animals can be messy at some point . She went shopping and bought souvenirs back for Woddy , Keyshawn , Cliff, Murda and of course Trey .
On the last night they went to dinner on the boat at one of their exclusive restaurants .
Lexy saw they took pictures in the restaurant so she made sure they were dressed in the same colors .
"You look beautiful baby." Teak said when she came out of the bathroom.
" Thank you , you look good too baby." Lexy said as he opened the door for her .
They had a table right by the window where you could see the water . The table was decorated with red and white rose petals and small vanilla candle was burning.
"So did you enjoy yourself this weekend? Teak asked.
"Yess this was best Valentine's Day . I would've enjoyed doing anything as long as it was with you but this was amazing ." Lexy replied .
"I know but you deserved this." Teak said, caressing her hand.
"Excuse me, can I take y'all picture?" The restaurant photographer asked.
They stood up for the picture .
"Wow y'all are a beautiful couple." The photographer complemented as he showed them the photos .
"You know what ? Do you mind if we use these to hangUp on the boat. The pictures on the walls are of previous couples as well."
Lexy looked over at Teak searching his face for approval.
"That's fine man ." Teak said
" Thank you for the compliment." Teak added.
"Of course . And the pictures are free . Come get them before you leave tomorrow .
"Okay thank you ! Lexy said as Teak grabbed her had to leave.
" See I always said you were photogenic." Lexy said smiling .
"Whew im tired . I just wanna take these clothes off and and curl up next to you ." Lexy said .
When Teak opened the door Lexy's mouth dropped .
Someone had came and decorated the room. It was filled with ballon's and rose petals. Candles lined the night stands . On the balcony were blankets and more roses spread on the ground.
"You still wanna go to sleep, ma?" Teak asked.
"No I'm awake now. Lexy smiled.
"Im still changing though .
She put on a pink silk shorts set that matched her pink toes. She put her hair up in a messy bun and went outside to find Teak sitting on the balcony drinking a beer . He stared at her for a moment . No matter If she was dressed up or down Teak felt like she was still the baddest bitch out there and she didn't have to try , she just was . It was a little chilly so he wrapped a blanket around her .
"Here I made you this ." Teak said handing her hot chocolate .
" Thank you ."
I see you didn't open the gifts I put on the bed for you ."
" I will baby." Lexy responded .
" The only woman I met that don't like presents." Teak said, chuckling .
"Well exactly how many women do you know to know that to be true ?" Lexy asked jokingly .
"But it's not like I don't like gifts but I'm enjoying the experience with you . Right now , that's more important plus I already have the best presents I could've asked for ." Lexy replied pointing to the heart shaped necklace with a picture of him and Trey in it .
"Come here girl ." Teak said, sitting her on his lap . They started kissing and rubbing on each other .
"Take this off ." Teak said, raising her shirt up. The cold air made her nipples hard .
"You cold ? Let me warm you up." Teak said standing Lexy up and turning her to face the railing .
"Put that leg up." Teak whispered .
Lexy did as she was told and he slid in her. She arched her back to make sure she could feel all of him . She was moaning quietly , biting her lip so she didn't get too loud.
"Uh uh . I wanna hear you .speak up. Don't be shy now." Teak said smacking her ass .
"Shittt baby. Do it again." Lexy moaned louder .
"There she go." Teak said bending her over more over the railing.
"T!" Lexy said panicky.
"Girl I got you."'he said, gripping her waist tighter.
so she felt more secure.
Lexy sure got the balcony experience she was looking for . All Teak could think was "please don't get pregnant."

The next day they flew back home and went to pick of Trey who was playing in Cliff and Murda's backyard .
"Hey baby bring nephew to the front." Murda called back to Cliff .
"Thsnk you again for keeping him." Teak said .
" It was no problem. That lil nigga talk a lot but he was cool."
"Hey get that from his mama." Teak said looking at Lexy.
"Anyways —
Did you have a good time son ?" Lexy asked Trey ignoring Teak
" yess mommy."
"Can you bring me back next weekend daddy ? Trey asked.
" No they need a break from your ass , now get in the car so I can strap you in." Teak said walking to the car .
"We bought y'all something back." Lexy said handing them the bag.
"Aww shit I like gifts! Thank you girl ." Cliff said .
"No problem . I'll holla at y'all later." Lexy said getting in the car .

Everybody jumped back into their regular routine . Lexy had a couple clients to see and she also goes to the local elementary school and counsel a few kids there as well . Teak was always impressed with her work ethic . Some women get with a man and latch onto them but she always got her own which is why he loved spoiling her . Trey said he didn't want to go to daycare because he missed them so Teak took him to the shop.

The shop was full most of the day . Teak only took a break to check on Trey and Lexy. Just because he owned the shop didn't mean he wasn't going to work just as hard If not harder then everyone else . He learned since being a father to lead by example .

An hour before the shop closed a woman came in with her two sons . Teak seen them in the shop a few times getting cut but he never had them as a client .
"Can you squeeze my two sons in for a haircut? The woman asked .
" I heard you give free cuts. I have the money for one but not the other." She continued handing him a 20.
He folded it and handed it back to her .
"I'll do them both for you ." Teak said, ushering one of the kids to his chair.
" So how long have you had this place?"
The woman asked .
"About 2 years . I wanted something of my own and something to help the community and leave to my son ." Teak replied .
"Oh that's great . You have a son ?" The woman asked again.
"Yes . Matter of fact he's been a little too quiet. Treyton ! Come out here please and get your things . We are leaving soon."'Teak hollered.
When Trey came from the back, he told him to sit in the chair behind him.
"Oh he's so well behaved . The woman said .
"Yea he's a good kid , his mom does all the disciplining. I'm soft when it comes to him." Teak admitted .
"Yes ,well good fathers are like that with their sons." The woman said .
"Well it looks like we are done here . Do y'all like it?" Teak asked the boys.
They both shook their heads yes and Teak walked them and their mom to the door .
"If they need cuts again , come back , everyone knows and adheres to the kids get free cut rule .
"Well thank you again." The lady said, giving him a hug . He had to pull away because she embraced him a little too long and slid her fingers down his arms .
"Whoever your wife is , is very lucky to have a man like you." The woman said turning to leave.
"Thank you but it's really me who's the lucky one ." Teak said proudly as the woman left .
"Daddy who was that ?"
Trey asked getting out the chair .
"No one . Just a customer . Let's go home to mommy." Teak said locking the door .

Lexy was giving Trey a bath before bed.
"Did you have fun with daddy today?" Lexy asked .
Yes mommy . Trey said..
"Good! I thought you would , well time to get out and go to bed." Lexy said helping him out the tub.
After tucking him in she started down the hall to her room when she heard Teak talking.

"Yea man it was weird . Who touches a man you never spoke to before today and she came in right before I closed . I wasn't gonna turn her away because she had her sons but I know she was on some BS. Ima have to nip that shit in the bud cause if Lexy find out or find her she gon beat that woman's head in." Teak said.
"Shit I know she woould . She don't play about you." Woddy ageeed.
"Anyways ima slide by y'all tomorrow to bring y'all what we got y'all on vacation . Teak said before hanging up .

"So who was this woman who was touching you ? And how was she touching you and did you touch her back?"
Lexy asked walking into the room .
" I only seen her a few times in the shop . She touched me on my arm after a hug and hell no I didn't touch her ."Teak replied honestly .
" Well you better check that heaux Thaddeus before I do . Everyone in this town knows you have a family so she can act stupid if she wants to. She'll have to see me." Lexy replied .
"Thaddeus? Really ? I didn't do nothing ." Teak said jokingly .
"I'm serious ." Lexy replied .
" I said," I'll take care of it, Rocky Balboa. You know I only want you ." Teak said .
Now come lay by your man." He said, grabbing her hand .
Being in his arms always calmed her and before long they had fallen asleep.
