--Geovanni Parris--
"Jules?" I called from the shower.
"Now you want that round, huh?" Her horny ass smirked as she slid the shower door back.
"Nope." I shook my head. "I forgot my towel." I smirked as hers faded.
"Come get it yourself." She rolled her eyes.
"Nah, you might rape me." I chuckled. "I'm not taking any chances."
She looked my body up and down and clamped her lower lip between her teeth.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Jules?"
"Because after all these years, you're still so sexy." She purred as she continued to admire me.
"And so are you." I shrugged.
"Now, my towel, please?" She nodded and headed out the door.
I laid my head against the cold, tiled shower wall as I waited for Julliet to come back with my towel.
I had the hugest migraine that seemed to fall out of nowhere.
"Here you go." Jules' voice caused my to open my eyes and take the towel from her.
I saw her brows furrow as she looked at me.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"Slight headache, that's all." I shrugged.
"You do know that's not what your face says right?" She questioned.
"I guess." I sighed as in wrapped the towel around my waist.
"What's wrong, Geo?" She asked again.
"I have a migraine." I huffed.
"Oh." She nodded. "Get dressed and get some rest then." She advised as she trailed me into our room. She closed all the curtains, turned the t.v. off and turned the volume on the phone which sat on the bedside table down. "I'm gonna finish dinner. You just relax." She advised as she left the room.
I got dressed and picked up the two liquid gels that I didn't even realize Julliet placed on the beside table along with the glass of water and downed tuem.
I don't deserve Julliet.
I thought as I laid myself down on the bed.
I fucked up when I fucked Thalia. I know that, but at the time I was so hurt and upset about Julliet being gone. I wanted to hurt her like I was hurting, not even realizing that she'd left because I'd hurt her in the first place.
Her phone was on the beside table on her side of the bed. I sighed and picked it up, not knowing exactly what I was looking for, I decided to go through her gallery.
I came across I've videos from her pregnancy with Junior.
"Hi Geo, it's been a while huh? Well, I know that didn't end on the best note and no doubt, I'm to be blamed. Improbably the last person you want to hear from right now, but," She angled the camera to capture her belly. "We're expecting." She smiled despite the tears reflecting in her eyes.
"Is that Daddy?" A voice intervened and Julliet turned the camera to a middle aged woman in a lab coat.
"It's not a video call, just a video." Jules informed the lady. "This is my obgyn, Geovanni, Dr. Perez." Jules said.
"The baby is doing great so far!" Dr. Perez added, causing me to smile as the video ended.
I scrolled to another video and pressed play.
It was a video of Julliet in a baby store, looking at baby clothes.
"Smile Mom." Krys' voice was heard in the background, making it obvious that he was the one recording the video. Julliet looked toward the direction of the camera and smiled widely.
She was wearing a yellow, floral sundress and her bump was pertruding.
"You're the most beautiful pregnant lady ever." Krys complimented, causing Jules to laugh.
"Stop flattering me, little boy." She shook her head.
Only if she knew.
"Great Mom. Ruin the video, now I can't send it to Dad like I planned to get him jealous." Krys said, making me roll my eyes.
"Your Daddy could still get it, so he doesn't have to be jealous." Julliet said as she took the phone, causing the video to end. I smirked at her statement as I put the phone back, because the sound and light started fucking with my migraine even more.
I don't know why she still chooses to stay, but I'm glad she stays.

"Mom?" I called as I entered the house, but ventured into the kitchen because I smelled her good cooking."
"Be quiet, baby, your Daddy's sleeping." She said as soon as I walked into the kitchen, making me roll my eyes.
"The next time you two knock boots and decide to be loud, remember I'm sleeping." I said, making her gasp.
"You did not!" She exclaimed.
"Shhh." I shushed her. "Dad's sleeping remember?" I asked, causing her to roll her eyes. "But no, I didn't. I mean,I tried to, but you guys are very private." I stressed.
"You're a very corrupted child, you know that?" She questioned.
"Dad tells me that all the time." I pointed out. "What are you cooking though?" I asked her.
"Oh, just a little chicken soup." She shrugged.
"Cool." I smiled.
"Where's Lia?"
"She headed straight upstairs." I informed her.
"How has she been lately?" She asked.
"Uhh, she's good." I sighed. "I kinda got mad at her the other day, so now she won't really talk to me like she used to." I sighed again.
"Why?" Mom's brows furrowed, causing me to scratch my head. "What happened?"
"Well, she kinda was telling me about how she was contemplating suicide and I got really judgemental and I began condemning her." I explained. "She got mad and told me that she did know that Jesus was hiring, stormed off and barely speaks to me now." I huffed. "I mean, I know it's not healthy, Mom. She needs to be open with someone and I was that person, but I messed it up, so now she's completely silent."
"It's ok. Your Daddy used to be harsh on me." She blew air out of her mouth, exasperatedly.
"When I didn't listen to him and went out and got raped, he got so mad. He took all his love away from me." She reminisced. "He used to run both our businesses and do everything for us. He made me go into work to run my restaurant on my own with only a notebook with instructions. I swear, Krys, I almost died." She shook her head. "But it was a wake up call." She sighed. "I stopped taking the little things about Geo for granted." She admitted. "Sometimes we need tough love. Like what your Daddy gave to me. He didn't stop loving me. He just stopped allowing his love to cause him to spoil me, briefly."
"You and Dad are so cute, it's almost pathetic." I smirked. "But I get what you mean, the tough love might not be all that bad."
"Exactly." She nodded.
