I woke up to Aaron's heavy arm around me and his face nuzzled into my neck. I smiled for a moment before the thoughts of everything that happened yesterday came back to me. I bit my bottom lip to hold back tears that were forming.
I remembered everything in that moment. How he didn't call or text all day and then how I saw him in Target with... With her.
My blood was boiling remembering how she threw herself on him when she laughed. What was in the basket he was carrying. How proud he looked when he was able to make her laugh although from the looks of it, didn't seem like it was all that hard.
I weaseled out of Aaron's grip and snatched the covers off of my body. Not caring if I woke him up or not, I'm sure he got enough sleep in her bed anyways.
I walked to JD's room to check that he was still sleeping and there my baby was sound asleep. I walked over to his crib and admired his peaceful sleeping for a few more minutes before I quietly exited the room and shut the door quietly. I decided to take a quick shower since my son probably wouldn't be up for another hour.
I took my time walking back to Aaron's room. I didn't want to see his sleeping body, smell his musk, or think about how even when I'm mad at him, he was still very handsome.
I shook those thoughts from my head. Walking into the room I was surprised to see Aaron awake, propping himself up by his elbows.
"Good morning my Dove." He said in a husky voice.
I held back the scoff that was forming in my throat. 'My Dove.' I wonder if he calls her that? I wonder if he has called other women that in that past?
"Good morning." I said to him, keeping my cool and walking to the bathroom to turn the shower water on.
I didn't realize he followed me until I got in the shower and felt his presence get in behind me. I rolled my eyes boldly since my back was to him and let him kiss the top of my head.
"I'm sorry I came home so late last night." He said as he started feeling down my leg.
I prepared myself for the excuses. "It's ok, I was worried about you though." I said in response.
"I know, I'm sorry I should've called. Me and the boys were planning my bachelor party and we got into playing the game, and we drank a little bit... Time got away from me my Dove I'm so sorry." He turned me around and looked down at me.
His dreads framed his face as he looked down into my eyes and his hands were rubbing my ass in slow sensual circles. Do I reveal that what he was saying was bullshit? That I know that he wasn't with the boys but with some beauty that I didn't know about?
"It's fine Aaron, really." I said as I forced a smile to my lips.
This seemed to satisfy him, as I thought it would. He tried picking me up but I shook my head no, to him giving me a confused look. I turned around and started lathering up my body.
"We don't have the time." I said quietly.
Aaron tried grabbing my waist but I moved his hand with my loofah as I went to wash my legs, I needed to get out of this space with him. I couldn't just give him myself again after what I saw yesterday. I needed time for myself even though I was going to keep what I saw to myself.
"But Jabari is sleeping." He whined. I just know if I looked over my shoulder he was giving me puppy eyes.
"He's sleeping now but I'm sure he'll be up soon. We can't." I said but this time more firmly.
I finished washing up, hearing nothing but the water pouring. If was mad he wasn't getting any that was fine. I didn't care at all.
Just before I was about to get out of the water he grabbed my hand and pulled me close.
