Love on the brain

What a life

Two months later

Jermaine's finger traced my tiny bump, his touch sending chills down my spine. As we lay in bed together, we dreaded getting up for the family meeting. We're enjoying each other's company. I felt a sense of belonging, I mean I've been staying here for a month now and it's working for me. We up this early because we had a morning session and all I can say is, he's enjoying this pregnant womanhood. I smiled at my thoughts and kissed his palm.

"You're everything to me!" He whispered before kissing my ear. "You're my... our home" I said and he chuckled as he massaged my hips. "We need to get up eventually" he said and I smiled. "Not yet" I said as I turned around kissed him. "What are you on baby?" He asked me and I laughed. "It's the hormones" I shrugged as I licked his neck.

We have been having more sex than usual and honestly it's crazy. Now that we have our own space we just go crazy. Jermaine, caters to my needs, no matter how tired he is. He knows he has to keep my magic bean down there happy or else I'm gonna be cranky the whole day.

"Mhm I love it when you do that" he said as he grabbed my ass while spreading my legs over his so I can just sit on it. I felt his finger touch my opening and I bit my lip. "You're ready for me baby?" He asked as he slowly pushed himself in and my eyes rolled back. I grabbed his neck and kissed him while he stroked me. It felt so good, until the baby monitor went off.

"No" I moaned as he tried stopping. "Baby" I begged for him. The baby cried louder and louder each time we tried to ignore her. I got off him and watched him walk out. "Don't finish yourself off" he said and I rolled my eyes. We don't even go crazy anymore, everything happens slower and more gentle. I screamed into the pillow before waking up and doing my morning routine, including showering.

"Say hey Aunt Nala" Jermaine walked in with Gabby and I smiled at her. I do help with Gabby now that I live here. I do carry her around, bath her, feed her but I just don't over step my role. I picked her up and I felt her dad spank me and I gave him a death stare. "Hey mama, you know what time I think it is? It's tummy time!" I said with my playful voice and she smiled at me. "I know that's right" I said as I sat with her in the lounge.

Last time I checked, Marissa was moving away but now it seems like she changed her mind which is strange. Gabby stays with us more than her mom and Marissa still doesn't know about me.

I changed Gabby before I changed into my clothes. Her mom was coming to fetch her in a few minutes so I quickly put on her pink dress. Gabby and I were starting to bond actually, I didn't want it to happen, only because I felt like it's too soon but I guess there is no right time. "Marissa's here" I heard Jermaine say as he grabbed her stuff and grabbed little Gabby. She started sobbing once I gave her to her father and my heart broke a little. "Nala will see you tomorrow okay sweetheart" I said as she started crying.

I felt bad for her mother, her baby is crying for another woman. I shrugged before walking to the bedroom and putting on my long bodycon dress and a wool jersey on top with my converse. I put some perfume on and styled my French curls. I put on my jewellery and packed my handbag.

Jermaine walked in, very ready to leave so we were in a rush. The smell of female perfume hit my nose and I got triggered. "You need to change your outfit, I do not smell like that" I said and he looked confused. "I don't understand how you spend a second with her, outside and you come back smelling like her" I said and he shook his head. "Baby, we're gonna be late" he said. "I don't care babe, her scent is going to make me puke, literally" I said being dramatic about it but to be honest I was irritated. He's not her man, he won't be smelling like another woman when I'm here.
"Can we go now?" He asked after he changed his entire outfit.

"Why did your clothes smell like her? She smothered her body on yours?" I asked in the car, with a calm voice, nonchalantly, not looking at him. I could feel him get irritated by my questions. "Why would you question my intentions like that, you know I don't like that babe" he said. "It's not your intentions I'm questioning, it's hers. It's about time I leave hickies on your damn face because I can't deal with this" I said casually.

"Why are we making this a big deal?" He asked and I put down my phone and looked at him. "I'm not, but maybe I should" I said to him. "You didn't finish me off" I said. "Gabby was crying, what was I supposed to do, let her cry while I finish you off? That's madness" he said and I squinted my eyes.

"You never do that though. I'm always the one who stops but you continue regardless and with this particular moment you stopped." I said. "Babe, I know you're horny right now but can we not do this right now? I'm tired. Pleasing you 24/7 is a full-time job, like being a dad and a maths lecturer" he blurted without thinking.

"You're tired of pleasing me?" I asked, feeling betrayed. I turned to face the front and carried on texting on my phone and ignoring everything he's saying. Something is off, and I don't like it.
