Micah

After church, me and Mineh sat at Olive Garden waiting for Alexa to come.

“Micah, im going to head to the bathroom, I have to pee really bad,” she said not waiting for me to respond but just hurried off to the restrooms.

This was like her tenth time going to the bathroom today and it was only one o’clock. It didn’t matter though I just liked watching her walk away, my wife had an amazing body. I couldn’t help but want her every second the day. I needed to put this payback thing to a rest, because I was secretly dying without her lips. Once we get home I’m making love to her.  

I turned towards the front entrance to see if Alexa had arrived and sure enough she was walking through the door. Granted she was beautiful, but as always she didn’t hold a spark to Mineh. Alexa was half Puerto Rican and African American. She was about 5’7 had very light brown skin and dark brown eyes with long, bone straight shiny black hair. She was thick, very thick and had curves in all the right places.

While my wife on the other hand was just African American. She only stood at 5’3, had beautiful dark brown skin and captivating light brown, almost hazel eyes, big full lips, and her hair… My gosh her hair, the curliest thing I have ever seen. Like today, she usually lets it hangs loose, so her hair was big, curly, and beautiful. And boy, did I love it. But her body uuuhhhh…. I wanted to just run to the restroom, throw her over my shoulder, caveman style, and take her home to make love to her. She had a toned body. Not Angela Bassett toned but in D’s words “she was bad”. Her breasts, hips and butt weren’t large but just perfectly sized. Then her legs toned and long for her to be so short, just complimented the rest of her body so well. But if this wasn’t enough what ultimately made my wife more attractive than Alexa or any other woman on this earth was who she was. Her personality, her heart, she was just all around amazing.

I guess I had been so lost in my thoughts I didn’t notice Alexa walk over.

“Hey Micah, look Im sorry about ever-…”

“I forgive you Alexa,” I said cutting off the long apology I knew she was going to give. And I felt good saying those words, it felt like a little bit of weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

Amineh

As I washed my hands after peeing for the 100th time today, I went to grab the paper towels and I caught a glimpse of my stomach in the mirror and noticed how large it looked. I turned to the side, examining my slightly protruding stomach. Geez, I guess my period is going to start early this month because I am already bloated. I pulled my shirt back down and hurried out of the bathroom; so I could order the Spinach and artichoke dip I had been craving since last week. As I approached the table I noticed Alexa had arrived and was sitting and talking to Micah. Even with everything that has happened I trusted my husband and he would be crazy to do anything like that again. I may be a forgiving person but Im not a fool, he knows I wouldn’t hesitate to leave and stay gone this time.   

 They didn’t notice me approach, so I caught a little bit of their conversation.

“If he made enough he probably wouldn’t even allow me to work. But I’m glad I have that time to get out of the house but I always make sure to get there before the kids are home from school so they’re never alo-… hey Mineh,” Alexa said looking up at me which caused Micah to look up to.

“Hey Alexa, hows it going sweetie?” I asked sincerely.

“Alright,” she said looking a little sad.

Micah got up and pulled my chair out so I could sit.

“You okay,” he asked.

I smiled, but before I could answer the waiter came over and asked for our order, I guess noticing our third person had arrived.

“What can I get for you today,” she asked looking at Micah, batting her eyelashes as if me and Alexa were invisible. Or she didn’t notice Micah’s arm over my shoulders or my hand resting on his lap.

I could tell Micah was a little annoyed, so he just said as politely as possible, avoiding eye contact, “I’ll let my wife order first.”

He looked at me hoping for me to save him. The waiter looked a little taken back and embarrassed. I couldn’t blame her, my husband was hot. I smiled politely at her, “I’ll have the Spinach and artichoke dip with vegetable soup and salad for starters, then the Fettuccine Alfredo and Lemon Cream Cake for desert,” I said still glancing over the menu making sure I didn’t forget anything. “Oh and please bring extra bread sticks,” I finished handing her my menu. Everybody was looking at me odd, including the waiter, I guess from all the food I ordered.

“What? Im hungry,” I said shrugging my shoulders. I mean it was a lot, me being such a little person; but lately I’ve been eating like a pig. I almost ordered the whole menu yesterday at Panda Express.

Alexa and Micah ordered their food and the waiter went to go put them in.

“So, I take it Micah has already told you and you two are back on civil terms,” I asked Alexa.

“Yeah, we were just talking about Chris,” she said.

So, we spent the rest of that lunch catching up and making sure everything was settled for when Alexa met with my boss, John.

After Alexa left, me and Micah finally walked out to the car. He went over and opened the door for me and then went around getting in the car on his side. Once he was in he turned towards me leaned over and kissed me, deep and passionate like most of his kisses were. When he pulled back he let out a sigh of relief like he’d been waiting to do it all day.

I just smiled at him knowingly, I knew he wouldn’t last for long, and he started the car and drove us home.
