Exchange (Sequel)

°Chapter 6

"Wait you mean to tell me y'all had actual sex? As in laid in the bed and fuck-- oops kids are around I mean freaked each other?"

Elia laughed.

"Yess... We had sex." Elia was on her break at work spilling the tea.

"Well, damn about time. I thought you were joking. I was starting to think you thought you were virgin Mary."

Elia laughed at her best friend dramatic remarks.

"Girll don't start with me. Yes we did the you know what. It was all unexpected. He was talking all manly."

"Manly? What the hell."

"Yes, bitch I told him I didn't want him to help with Armani birthday expenses. He wasn't taking no for an answer Armin insist that he helps me out.

So, I'm not stopping him. I don't know it was just him saying that stuff yesterday that made me realize he's a real man and not a kid like some childish ass people."

"Awnn.. good for you. Now was his dick game bomb?"

Elia giggled once again.

"I'm not answering that Mia."

"Oh-- no you got a wack Willie. His shit was weak as hell? You gotta cut him loose."

"I didn't say it was weak."

"Then what! It was ight?"

"No, Lamia no freaking commentary."

"Gosh! You just hurt the heart," she clutched her chest through the phone, as if, Elia would see it.

"Nothing, but love bugs. I'll talk to you later my breaks over. And, tell Armani I love him."

"Will do ugly."

The two friends ended the call. Elia smiled to herself. She really missed Lamia before she moved down to Phoenix.

Lamia, Tyler Jr. and Tyla had visited her a few times. That's how they all grew a bond with Armani. On the other hand Tyler or anyone else didn't have a clue she had, had a child.

"Miss Elia your client has arrived," her assistant stuck her head into her office.

"Thanks send her in."

The women entered Elia office.

"Hello, Miss--"

"Oh! I'm Mrs.Jones married," she flashed her wedding ring.

"Okay. Mrs.Jones how can I help you?"

"Oh! Wait I'm not a client I don't need help with any finical things or what not," she giggled. "I work here now and your my trainee teacher."

"Can you tell me who signed me up for this role?" Elia did not want to train anyone.

The fact that she had to teach someone to do something they should already know what to did is stupid. I mean its obvious if they got the job they know what to do.

"Um. That lady she's sort of tall and has brown hair."

Elia looked at her like she grew another head. The lady she just described was basically half the women that worked at the office.

"And this little Piggie cried "we, we, we" all the way home." She sang to her son as he fell asleep in her arms.

Armani was sleeping in the room with Elia because she missed sleeping next to him. Before, the two moved to Phoenix they were staying in a one bedroom condo.

So, they were so used to sleeping next to each other. But a bigger house means more space and that's what they have more space.

A facetime call came through Elia's phone.

"Hey beautiful."

"Hi handsome."

"How was work?" And I really miss you."

She smiled at how sweet Armin was.

"I miss you too. And work was okay thanks for asking. How was your day?"

"Alright. It was a little gloomy."

"Why?"

"I really miss you and little man. Haven't seen y'all in a minute."

"I know, I know we miss seeing you too. Hopefully when you get back in town we can have fam--, we can have fun."

"Or, like you were going to say we can have a family date night."

"Well, I should go. Bye!"

"Bye, I lo--"

Elia ended the call short. She nearly called them a family which was weird. And, he literally was telling her he loved her.

She knew loving someone or being in love with someone isn't always a happiness thing. It can be tormenting loving someone who doesn't love you back.

"Ughh-- I'm drained," she said aloud to herself. "I need to shower and sleep asap."

"Okay little boy don't push it." Armani was running around his home excited that it was his birthday.

"Tay," he ran off. Elia smiled. She wasn't able to throw his birthday party the day of because she had to work.

But, all the overtime, blood, sweat, tears, etc. were just for her one and only. As long as he smiled she was fine.
