~Nelle Bells P.O.V.~

"Thank God we're home." I breathed out when I finally unloaded the last of the bags out of the RV and in the garage. I'm not going to deal with all this today, I'll handle it tomorrow because I'm so tired. I love family outings like that but they're exhausting in every way possible. "Feels so good to be in the house again." I continued to say and Lexis surprised me by wrapping his arms around my waist from behind just under my breasts as his chin rested on my shoulder. "You okay, Lexis?" I asked curiously, placing my hands on top of his arms.

"I'm happy we're home too. Especially since there's no kids or Trey to annoy me." He teased which got me to laugh. "I just feel bad, you basically have been doin' everything around here while I just lay around and watch." Awe, Lexis.

"Stop. We're a team remember? Sometimes one of us is down so the other pulls their weight till they're back up again." I said assuringly as I spun around so I could place my chin on his chest and look up at him. "If anything I feel extremely guilty for what happened with Sweets, Tilly Beans and I." I don't even remember what happened, had Trey not pointed out the hickey and Sweets to later confirm what happened, I would have never known what had gone on and that's the God's honest truth. "You know I would never step out of our marriage like that, not for any reason. I joke about doing that but that's kept as a joke-"

"Chanelle. We leave it as what happened on that trip, stays on that trip and we don't bring it up. I know you didn't do that on purpose so don't feel bad, next time just don't drink with them when they're already horny for each other." He said cracking a smile which got me to laugh. "I'm gonna take a shower, take one with me? I don't wanna fall."

"I promise I won't and if you were to fall, do you honestly think I could catch you? Let alone get you back up." A slight cock of my brow to follow. He's nearly a whole foot taller than me, if he falls I'm falling right with him and I think we both agree we're too young to already have Life Alert... at least we'd have each other as company if we fall.

"One way to find out." Releasing me and swiftly grabbing my hand, our fingers naturally intertwined with each others. He motioned for me to head up the stairs before him and I gladly did, pulling him right along with me with nothing but a smile stuck on my face. 

With the water warming up, I was helping strip Lexis out of his clothes as he stripped me out of mine. The excited chuckles we shared brought me back to when we were first together and let's be honest, it's been months since he and I did anything remotely close to this... our relationship was lacking this kind of affection but while he's feeling good, we might as well be a little more carefree. Especially before he starts his treatment.

"Sit down, I don't want you getting light headed." I said as I helped him in where he took his seat on the ledge thing we have in our shower as he gave a shake of his head. "I'm not wrong."

"You never are." He said in a smart ass manor. "Gimme a kiss though." Without any hesitation, I reached down and caught his lips passionately. His hands becoming tangled in my wet curls, I was urged to straddle his lap as the warmish hot water  rained down on the both of us.

"I'm not crushing you am I?"

"No, but I'm crushing on you." He replied back with a wiggle of his eyebrows which made me struggle to keep my straight face. I broke down and cracked a smile, that was corny but cute.

"You're so corny, oh my God."

"I know I am but that's one of your favorite things about me." Reaching with one of his hands to grab my loofah off the shelf in the shower, he then got my caress daily silk body wash and damn near poured half the bottle onto the loofah. "I swear this smells so good and I don't understand why I'm infatuated with it." Rubbing it gently across my skin, I laughed at how focused he was with this. I don't know what it is but when he's like this, it's just adorable. I know he wouldn't like me using that word to describe him but it's true.
