Love Is Complicated

Chapter 23

Anthony POV

Today is Mother's Day. I have a big surprise for Zuri. Hopefully, she likes it. It's noon right now. This is when she usually wakes up. I go upstairs while holding a card and Myla in my hand.

I rub Zuri's face with my thumb. She yawns. God her morning breath is bad. She sits up and strectehes. She makes a weird face. I laugh.

"Well, Happy Mother's Day!" I say pumped. I put the card in her hand. She smiles. She opens the card.

It says: "Dear Zuri, 

Thank you for all your love, support, and sacrifices you made for Myla. You're the best mom anyone could ever ask for. Happy Mother's Day! 

"With love, Anthony."

-----------------------------------------------------------

She smiles. I look at Myla as she smiles.

"Do you think Mommy likes it?" I say fake whispering to Myla. Zuri chuckles.

"Mommy!" Myla squeals while putting her finger in her mouth. I gasp. Zuri jumps up with a big smile and carries Myla. 

"What did you say!" She says while tickling Myla. She laughs and wiggles around. I've never seen Zuri this happy. I think Myla's changing her.

I laugh. 

 4:00 pm

 I walk back and forth thinking about how to surprise Zuri. I call her down. She comes down all dressed with Myla and her matching. I smile.

"Yeah?" Zuri asks me.

"So-I have another surprise," I say nervous.

Zuri raises her eyebrows. I get the keys. 

"Close your eyes," I say while walking back.

"So- you know how I've been telling you about this all the time. And every time you ask, I always tell you soon. Well, I may have gotten it. Open your eyes." I say excited.

I lift the keys up and she opens her eyes. She gasp.

"You didn't." I stare at her. "You got us a house!" Zuri says jumping up and down with Myla.

"Well, it's an apartment," I say. She still keeps squealing and jumping up and down. 

She runs and kisses me. 

"So when are we moving in?" Zuri asks pouting.

I laugh.

"Soon." I say with a calm tone.

Zuri calms down.

"I like that voice." Zuri says while walking away jumping up and down.

Whatever

10:00pm

Myla's finally asleep. Thank the lord his dad let her stay in his room. I was annoyed of her.

Zuri turns around trying to sleep. She can't. She opened her drawer and got her vibrator. She turns it on and lifts up her pants. She puts it in and sighs. I move it up and down.

"Wow," I say. I turn around and she quickly pulls the vibrator out.

"Listen, it's not what you think it is," Zuri says reassuringly.

"So you think I can't pleasure you?" I say while scoffing.

"I can't fall asleep, I'm stressed, and besides you don't even have sex with me anymore. Do you think I'm ugly or something now that I've had a kid?" Zuri says pissed.

"No, I don't. Where did you even get that from?" I say.

"It shows, Anthony! You barely even look at me anymore. Am I invisible or what?" Zuri asks.

"I don't have time for this. Good night." I say tired.

Zuri says under her breath "Of course you fucking don't." 

She walks out crying. I sigh.
