Jasmine sat in the living room, finally checking her email to see if Jon had reached out. She was interested in going back to work now. Spending more time away from Aubrey gave her clarity about what she wanted for her life and career. She was tired of playing housewife. It got her nothing. She also wanted to show her husband that she had options and following him around the world was a choice she was making. She could choose differently if she wanted to.
Jon's email was just following up about their conversation. He gave her his contact information and told her that he was free to talk logistics whenever. So, Jasmine emailed him back to set up a meeting when she got back home. When she was done, she questioned if she should go out tonight. It was a Friday but that also meant that a lot of people would be out and she didn't want to deal with that.
Instead she decided to check on Aaliyah who was put to bed a couple hours ago. Marcy had been a godsend when it came to bedtime. Aaliyah had been waking up less and less. When she reached the nursery, she opened the door and saw her baby sleeping peacefully.
"Sweet dreams, baby. Mama loves you." She kissed Aaliyah's head
As she exited, Jasmine decided to go out to the hot tub outside. She stripped out of her Skims loungewear and threw on a bikini. Her bruise had faded quite a bit. She grabbed her phone and a towel and went to find Marcy.
"Marcy?" She knocked on the guest bedroom door
"Yes ma'am?!" She quickly came to the door
She was in her pajamas and headscarf.
"I'm going down to the hot tub. Do you mind listening out for Liyah?" Jasmine asked as she handed over the baby monitor
"Of course!" She nodded looking down at the baby on the screen
"Thank you! Good night!" Jasmine smiled
"Good night!" Marcy said
Jasmine grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen and went outside. She climbed into the jacuzzi and set her phone up before facetime calling Aubrey. It was 9pm in LA which meant it was midnight at home but he answered.
Aubrey was in bed with his durag on. He looked exhausted. He was doing tour rehearsals, taking care of Adonis and working through his issues with therapy and it showed.
"Hey Mama." He yawned
"Hi baby." She smiled
"You stayin' in tonight?" He asked
"Yeah. Don't feel like dealing with everything." She said
"I understand...you look beautiful." His eyes wandered down to her chest
She was on the verge of a nip slip because of how large her breastmilk made her boobs.
"Thank you." She smiled before backing away from the camera to show her whole body
