Bigger Is Better

25. We Got Beef?

Koko's POV

My eyes popped open and for a brief moment I had to think of where I was. With the blackout curtains pulled it was pitch black in our room, my head was pounding and my body was sore...and sweaty.

I felt around on the dresser for my phone, feeling it I grabbed it and was immediately irritated at the sight of it being dead. I settled for turning on the bedside lamp. I attempted to lean to do so and was quickly pulled back by August and his sleepy murmuring. "Babe, I'm just trying to turn on some light. I can't see". He loosened his grip just enough for me to do so, almost wished he hadn't because as soon as I turned the lamp on I regretted. Too bright, I thought. I turned the tv on to try to catch the time. 9:14. Jeez, I could never sleep in long.

I made sure to lay my phone on the charger before attempting to peel Aug's arm off of me. "Stop moving Phat", he groaned tightening his grip on me. I swear this boy had to have nightmares of me leaving him in the middle of the night or something the way he kept a hold on me. "I'm trying to get up honey." I attempted again and his hold tightened once again "really Aug". I rolled my eyes starting to get irritated. "shhhh" he turned me so he could lay his face in the crook of my neck. He snuggled close his lips touching my neck and laid his hand on my bare breast, "Boy if you don't let me up. " I tapped his back trying to get away.

"Stay in bed, why you tryna leave me? Where you going?" He asked opening his eyes and I sighed, swear I married the drama king himself. "I'm going to shower and go make breakfast for everyone to take on their way out, is that alright with you sir". I stared at him amused with my hand over my mouth. He knew I hated talking with morning breath. "Hell naw. Them niggas can get they own breakfast.". I laughed at his antics he was something else! "Aug babe, please I have to pee and I want to shower. Your body heat on my body heat, it's not working for me under these covers. I'm sweating." I sighed laying there is his grasp. "Phat mama, if you don't move that hand." he laughed at me trying to move my hand and I fought him shaking my head no. "We been together how long and you still worried about that breath, huh? If it was that bad, I wouldn't have married you! Gimme lips" he puckered his lips for a kiss and I groaned saying no.

"You want to get up don't you? Gimme lips den" he lifted an eyebrow rubbing my booty. I promise he makes me sick! I kissed him briefly before pulling back. "Thank you" he lifted his arm and the covers to let me out. Standing up in all of my naked glory I could feel his eyes on me. "I love you beautiful" He said watching me with a lazy smile as I walked to the restroom.

"I love you too handsome" I responded walking into our bathroom. I decided I wanted to take a bath instead, I started my bath water before going to handle my business. I came out and washed my hands before climbing into my water, which was steaming. I added some baking soda and some of my full proof essential oil wash into my water.

Sinking down into the tub I relaxed closing my eyes. I kind of just started to think about my life and honestly. I was happy. I had a great career, my family is well, have wonderful friends, and an amazing husband. I found myself praying and thanking God for good health and all that we had. I prayed over each of our friends and their families. As I continued to pray, my prayers went to my womb and to our future children and so on. I prayed generational prayers for good health, wealth, mental stability, and that God would continue to honor his covenant with our family.

Soon I sang lowly and began to wash my body. I didn't know August had gotten up until I felt kisses rain on my shoulder. He has always been very keen on physical touch and affection, and as much as I disliked it at the beginning our relationship, I had grown to love it with him.

"Good morning baybeh" he said walking towards the door on the other side of the bathroom where the toilet was.

"Good morning my love" I stared in his direction for a moment.
