Toxic

Chapter 2

Denver walked back and forth in the kitchen while Lisa watched her, sipping her wine. Lisa stood at about five feet even and she had a very slender frame. She was a true gym rat, not a pocket of fat in site. It was yet another reason why she sometimes turned her nose up at Denver, the other half was more than likely because of her skin color. Lisa was a white woman, white as the day she was born, but Javon was blacker than black could get.

"Salmon again huh?" Lisa asked. She was used to it by now, and while Denver didn't mind to show her distaste for the meal, Lisa always devoured it. She would never complain about anything Javon asked of her, or wanted her to do, he was the head of their relationship after all. 

"Yes again, Semaj just can't get enough of it" She took out some olive oil and all of her appropriate seasonings before going to preheat the oven. She pulled out the pans she would need, rinsing and drying them as she seen fit. Denver was no stranger to the kitchen, Althea made sure of it. While her mother always preached about knowing how to cook for her future husband, Denver was in the kitchen learning to cook for her damn self. 

"It's always so good too, its almost like you belong in the kitchen"

Cutting her eyes at Lisa, she pressed her lips together to avoid cursing. It never failed, every time the couple came over she always said things that rubbed Denver the wrong way. There had been more than one occasion where Semaj had to pull his wife to the side, or redirect the conversation because he saw where it was going. Semaj sometimes hated the way Denver's mouth was, but it was also another reason why he just had to have her 3 years ago.

Denver and Semaj met at a bar downtown, she had found herself having one of those rough days so she took herself out to have a drink after work. Semaj was having a night out with his guys when he spotted the sexy, thick goddess walking through the doors of the bar. He and all of his college buddies had a night out together at least once a month, and honestly he was so glad he'd came out that night. Her body had him feeling one way, but the mystery behind her eyes had him feeling something else. Semaj was never the man to stay in a relationship too long, not until he met Denver. She peaked his interests in more ways than one, and he loved that about her.

Not wasting any more time than she had to, Denver got to work on the meal. She figured the quicker she was done cooking, the quicker they could eat and get the hell out of her house. She had planned on eating a sloppy, homemade sub tonight, but since she had unwanted guests she'd suffer through another salmon meal. Nothing less than an hour later, they were all seated at the dining room table preparing to eat. Denver had placed the salmon, asparagus, potatoes and dinner rolls on her favorite glass serving dishes. She silently said her prayers, while the other three began to fix their plates. 

"This smells so good Dee" Semaj complimented as he finished scooping some potatoes on his plate. 

"Thank you" Denver laughed in her head as she thought about how he was just raising hell, now he was sitting in her face smiling as if she was going to let his previous banter go. She had an earful to give him tonight and just as soon as HIS guests left, she would let him have it.

"Man oh man how I've missed this. Nobody can do the salmon like you can girl" Javon said as he forked salmon into his mouth. He loved to come over and have dinner at Semaj's house, his wife was a terrible cook, but she was a professional takeout orderer. He flourished where she fell short though, Javon could throw down in the kitchen. He just hated to get off of a long day at work and come home to his wife waiting for him to feed the both of them. Lisa was a stay at home wife, Javon never wanted her to work, and she would never protest. She was one of those women that shopped and spent unnecessary amounts of money throughout the week, and after taking all of Javon's shit she felt like she was owed. Lisa felt like she paid the price of being a stay at home wife and having an unlimited amount of funds to play with, Javon could never keep his dick only inside of her.
