Are you Stalking me?

"Lovely, is it?"

I sat staring down at the busy street that passed in front of my building. Sometimes I wished I had a normal life, where people didn't stop and stare when I was out, especially when Ken was beside me.

I love that he became so successful but our bonding time got lower as the years passed. I'll think we would spend more time together now since his business is doing better than any other year.

I wasn't complaining because I knew I was blessed, I was able to get my family from the most distressed places there were in New York. And Kenneth played a big part in that too, so in my eyes I forever owe him a thank you.

He was sweet, easy on the eyes, and knew exactly what to say to me. Almost felt too good to be true at times but he never showed me anything that made me feel below myself. He showed me endlessly love and loyalty. He was the man I knew I should marry, the man I knew I wanted to have my kids by.

But that talk about kids always went the opposite way. He felt like we weren't ready and I honestly don't know why. I was at a point in my business where I wasn't needed 24/7 and we didn't need to work all day every day for our money to still roll in.

I was ready to move forward in my life. I wanted to seal our marriage with some pretty babies. I knew I was ready but I didn't want to rush him.

I understood him at certain parts, but what more growth do we need? The kids would be straight regardless of what happens to us. We didn't need to worry about money, a perfect home. We had that already. He was just extra scared of things that had no chance of happening.

I wasn't forcing him but I wasn't getting any younger.

"Nicki? What you still doing here?" Carissa came in my office and closed the door.

"Just taking a breather, not ready to go home." I chuckled.

"Why not? Did Ken do something."

"No.. more like something he didn't do. He just been slacking lately but I'm not gonna bother him with it."

"And why not?"

"He's been working extremely hard lately and I don't wanna stress him, you know?"

"I can understand but don't bottle those feelings up because your excuse is that he's stressing.. you're stressing too and you need him to show you some love. Nothing wrong with that."

I nodded, she was right but I still felt like I could be just overthinking it.

"You hear me girl?"

I looked over at her and smiled , "I do Rissa."

She hummed, "Knowles just left, she was the last one. I think imma go too."

"Mkay, I'll be out soon too. Drive safe babe, love you."

She walked over closer towards me and gave me a hug, "Love you too Nicki. Remember what I said."

I nodded.

Carissa left out and I watched the cameras. Ken thought it was weird having the cameras in my office and in the security room but I was very cautious. I built this business from the ground up, so taking extra precautions was just something I grew accustomed to.
