     I grabbed my cell phone and called the number Stoke slipped in my pocket. I waited for about 3 rings, he answered, "Hello?" Hearing his voice again over the phone gave me those chills up my spine like he use to back in the day. "Hey Stoke, you slipped your number in my pocket, I was wondering why?" I asked. "I slipped it in your pocket so I can keep in contact with you about our son, that's all." I started crying over the phone, "Jennifer, what wrong?", Stoke asked. "Stokley, can I please come see you, Lunie doesn't won't to talk to me and my family isn't gonna understand how I'm feeling. Please?", I begged with tears. He sighed and replied, "I don't know man, it's 10 at night and today was a crazy day, and tomorrow we'll be on the road again and I need some rest before I leave in the morning." "Please Stoke!?" I heard him sigh, "Ok, but just for a little, nothing else." I agreed and went out the house without anyone knowing, and drove to the Westin Phoenix Downtown hotel.

     I walked in and went on the elevator, which was empty, and I was thinking about my failing marriage and my son knowing the truth about his biological father. As I got to the floor, there wasn't any security guards, so I just went to his hotel room, knocked on the door and waited. I heard the door open, "Hey, come in.", Stoke said and I walked in and sat on the bed. Stoke was on the phone I guess with his wife because he said before getting off the phone, "Baby, I'll talk to you later... Love you too... Bye bye." Hearing him tell his wife "I love you" made my thoughts run back to when he would tell me the same before we got off the phone. "She lucky.", I said with him setting beside me on the bed replying, "Yeah, I am too. She knows about LJ, and she's cool with it, she just wants to meet him." I said with a little smile, "Well, she will. It's up to him though." "Yeah. Now, what's the deal?", he asked. I looked down and spilled the deal, "Well, me and Lunie is gonna get a divorce and I don't know what he's thinking. He might want to take my daughter away from me, I understand that I fucked up, but it was when I was young and before we were married! It's just... I just can't take it anymore!" My tears ran like waterfall with overwhelming emotions and regrets.

     "Jennifer, do you ever stop to think about how LJ feels about finding out especially since his known Lun'elle for the rest of his life as his father? Even me, I didn't know that you were pregnant, I was wondering why you haven't visited me in sometime and why you didn't contact me in about 10 months. Jennifer, you hurt me and Lun'elle, and you know you have to fix it." I continued crying, and all of a sudden I felt Stokley hold me in his arm and comfort me, I felt those feelings in his arms again. I remembered one time I cried in '95 because I heard Wanita laughing in the background as I was on the phone with Lunie, he comfort me and made me feel better. "Stoke, I'm sorry for all the lies and disappointment I've put you through. I wish I could turn this whole thing around and fix the pass. I was selfish and forgot about your feelings.", I apologized. He rubs my shoulder softly saying, "I told you in '98 when you told me that you were getting married that I forgive you but I won't forget it. That's all I wanted was to know if that boy was my son and an apology... Thank you Jennifer." I giggled, " At least I fixed one problem... Stoke, you remember when I was trying to make some tea and I accidentally put salt instead of sugar, that was the worst tea I've ever tasted!" We both laughed and  he said, "Yeah, I'll never forgot that. Sometimes I have to make sure I put sugar in the tea and not salt." We both laughed.

     "You remember when you challenged me to a game of basketball?", Stoke said making me remember that day. "Yeah, and the bet was the loser had to pleasure the other, and you won, which was some bull shit!", I said lifting up. "Whoa, how was that bull shit?" I replied, "Because, you kept on distracting me and all up behind me saying stuff like, "I know you want to feel this don't you?" Then, licked my shoulder, like what the hell!?" He laughed and replied, "Well, it was a game, winner took all. So, I did what ever I had to do to win." "Whatever!", I said playfully pushing him. "It's the truth! Oh, I can't forget the time Keri threw that party at his house in '95, and it was hot as hell! He didn't have no air, we were sweaty and those sexy reggae tracks came on and and everyone was grinding and stuff." I replied with a smile, "Yeah, I had on a flannel and some jeans, and I had to wrapped my shirt around my waist because it was so hot, I was wearing nothing but a bra and you had on that army green tank. It was like a music video or something, and Keri was wrong for not getting his damn thermostat fixed!" We both laughed and continued reminiscing together and it was pretty refreshing. After taking a ride to memory lane for about 10 minutes, we continued and we stopped and looked at each other's eyes. He still has those seductive, hypnotizing eyes that I fall in love with, and those feeling started coming back. I felt that desire I had in the '90s and now, it's heightened and the lust came flowing like running water.

     "Jennifer, I think it's time to go.", Stoke said standing up. "Stokley, I missed you, your kisses, your caresses, the way you use to make love to me all night and..." I said moving close to him. He said stopping me, "Jennifer, I'm a married man and though you're going through with Lun'elle, you're still a married woman." I chuckled, "Stokley, I know that. But, can your wife do this to you?" I kissed his lips passionately and he didn't resist, I moved to his neck and started planting soft, slow kisses and softly moved my tongue across his sweet spot, which I still remember. He let out a soft moan, "Jennifer, I don't think you..." I stopped him with a kiss and the scene got hotter then the sun! I turned him on so much that he lift me up in the air and laid me on the bed slowly while still lip locked. He had on a hat, which I took it off, "You know I'm use to love you with hair, but the bald head will do." We laughed and continued making out and taking off each other's clothes. Feeling his lips on my skin again felt so good, it was like I never broke off the affair. He still had those hands that touches you and a feeling of electricity moves though to your whole body, he's buffer that he was when we were fooling around, and his skin is still as smooth and rich as I remembered! It was like a dream and I didn't want to wake up. "Stoke, do you have a condom?", I asked, as he pulled one out of his wallet. "Don't worry, it's from a AIDS walk back in April, it's all good." I smiled and submitted myself to him.

     As we were making love, I closed my eyes and enjoyed this little "thrill" I was having. Stoke STILL got it, just now, it's seasoned and it's even better, from every thrust, touch, kiss, it was worth it! It felt like our first time in '92 at this same hotel, different room. I haven't had sex since the day before the concert, and it wasn't that good either. I haven't had any good sex, and the Big O hasn't seen me unless it was from my own performance, which is sad, me and Lunie haven't had spectacular sex since '91. I got so excited and happy, I felt that surge of energy pass through my body, and I let it go knowing I was FINALLY having an orgasm that was put on hold since '98, which was the last time me and Stoke had sex. After getting each other to that peak, we laid beside each other and we were breathing hard. "Damn, we ain't like we use to be.", Stoke said making me laugh. "Well, you still got it. Gosh, I hadn't had some good sex like that since I broke off the affair." He replied, "Yeah... Jennifer?" "Yes Stokley?" "Don't tell anybody about this. Keep it between us." I agreed. "Stoke, do you remember back in '94, when we went outside and looked at the stars, we laid on that long, thick, beautiful cross colored blanket?" He replied, "And, we made love outside while it was dark and stayed there until 5 in the morning. Yeah, I will never forget that night, it was beautiful. I use to love how the light would frame your skin when the sun would rise in the mornings or when the moon would shine. Man, those were some of the best times of my life." "Yeah, mine too."

     I stayed with Stoke until it was 4:12 am, he was still asleep, so I wrote him a nice note before I left. I drove to IHOP for some breakfast, I ordered some bacon, scrambled eggs,  some toast, hash browns, and some pancakes. I ate and reality struck; I had sex with not only my pass lover, but who's now married! I arrived home at 7am, and I came in the door with Kylen coming up to me with a hug, "Good morning mommy!" I hugged back and said, "Hey momma girl." She went in the kitchen were momma cooking breakfast and poppa was in the living watching tv, I went to my room and took off my clothes and took a shower. I felt even more guilty at the fact that I slept with a married man, though it was the best sex I had, it was still wrong. I went to sleep until my door open, it was Antonio.

     "Auntie, that man from Mint Condition's here." I woke up and went to the living room to see LJ and Stoke talking. "Hey Stoke, what up?" He replied, "Oh, I just wanted to say "bye" to my boy before I leave back on tour." LJ said to him, "Poppa Williams, nice to get to know you, I enjoyed it." Stoke smiled and gave him a hug, "Nice to know you too my boy. And, call me if you need anything alright?" LJ nodded "yes" and they hugged once more. "Y'all have a bless one.", Stoke said leaving. We all said "bye" and I turned around to see Lunie looking at me and went back to the kitchen. Man, if I could just apologize, and he would listen to me. We don't have to be together, just bury the hatchet!
But, to be honest, he's not having it.

Love Peace and Happiness 😘
