--Julliet Parris--
I was currently sipping the remaining wine in my glass and taking glances of my husband as he slowly ate his mocha cheesecake.
He at casually and barely spoke at dinner, which could mean one of two things later; silent treatment or very rough make-up sex.
"What's on your mind, Julliet?" He asked as he used his fork to cut another portion of his dessert off, not once looking at me.
"How was your meal?" I asked, causing him to smirk and chuckle in an unamused manner.
"You work here now?" He asked as he shook his head. "What do you do?" He continued. "Quality Control or Guest Experience?"
"Geo, if you brought me out to make me feel bad, we could leave, ok?" I stated as I became frustrated with him.
"I'm not trying to make you feel bad, Julliet." He said with a grin on his face, making me relax a bit. "It's just that the last thing I expected was my wife having lesbian sex with anybody. I don't know how to feel about it." He shrugged as she shoved some more cheesecake into his mouth.
I glanced down at my phone, hoping that Thalia agreed to what I asked her after realizing that I bought my husband nothing for out anniversary.
"Uhh..." I trailed. "Do you want to have a threesome?" I asked after building up the courage.
He dropped his fork and looked at me blankly. Then he narrowed his eyes, furrowed his brows and scoffed while shaking his head.
"No." He stated loudly and clearly. "I'm not into sharing. When it's my time, it's my time only." He said sternly.
"Ok." I nodded.
Great, now I have to tell her ass to nevermind.
"You can fuck Thalia on your own terms, just don't do it when it's my time."
"You're giving me permission to continue sleeping with her?" I questioned in disbelief, causing him to shrug.
"You went back, right?" He asked, causing me to nod
"Yeah but—" I tried to defend.
"But nothing." He cut me off. "You went back because you like it." He shrugged. "She eat your pussy better than I do?" He asked.
"She ride your dick better than I do?" I retorted.
"Nope." He shrugged again.
"It's a no for me too." I sighed.
"Then what is it, Jules?" He asked. "Help me to understand."
"It's different." I shrugged.
"Y'all clit grind or whatever the hell it is?" He questioned.
"Yeah." I sighed as I hung my head a bit.
"You don't have to be ashamed." He said, making me look back up at him. "You eat her pussy?" He asked.
"Yeah..." I trailed off.
"Ok." He shrugged.

"You got feelings for her?" Geo asked as we drove back home.
"No, I don't." I shook my head.
"Cool." He nodded. "You'd still fuck her?" He asked.
"If you won't get mad." I shrugged. "Would you?" I asked.
"Nope." He shook his head. "I won't."
"You're just saying that or you mean it?" I questioned.
"I mean it." He shrugged. "She was a smash. That's all."
"She said that I am just like you."
"In what context?" He questioned.
"After we get done, I basically just dip and she said you used to throw her out." I recalled.
"She knew what it was." He defended. "There wasn't no love in it."
"Exactly!" I agreed. "But all of a sudden she wants to catch feeling GS for me."
"You know, Jules, you're feeling her too." He pointed out.
"No, I am not." I opposed.
"You really are." He shrugged. "You just suggested a threesome back at the restaurant. You knew that I wasn't going to be down for that, but you wanted a reason to see her again." He shrugged. "You weren't ready to stop seeing her and that's ok, Julliet." He assured me.
"It's fine." He shrugged. "You cared about her as a friend first, so when sex was added, you began feeling for her on a deeper level.
"Ok, I'm feeling her." I admit. "Just a little." I shrugged. He reached over the console and grabbed my hand in his as he brought it up to his lips, placing soft kisses on it.
"As I said, baby, it's alright. Ok?"
"Ok." I nodded.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Moments later, we pulled up to the house and got out the car. Geovanni went ahead and opened the door.
It was awkwardly quiet and the lights were off.
Suddenly, the lights switched on.
"Surprise!" Was yelled at us from all directions, catching me off guard as Geo chuckled.
"Happy anniversary, babe." He smirked at me.
The kids all attacked us in a group hug .
They all let go at the same time.
"Happy fifteen years, Mom and Dad!" They yelled, before going their separate ways.
"P.S. I didn't know about you and Thalia, but she was stalling you for me to set up all this." Geo informed me as she emerged from the group.
"Happy Anniversary, Jules and Geo." She smiled at us. "Jules, I'm sorry about earlier." She frowned.
"It's ok." I assured her.
"You two could figure out a schedule later, but tonight is all me." Geo interrupted.
"We'd talk later, Ali." I referred to her by the pet name I'd given her over the years.
"Yeah, sure." She nodded as she made her way back into crowd in time for my parents to be approaching Geo and I.
"I'm proud of you, kids." My Dad smiled. "Turn those fifteen years into fifty years." Daddy advised.
"But be sure to enjoy every single moment they're made of." Mom added. "And you kids need to talk things out more often." She smiled.
"We've been trying our best." I assured her.
"Keep doing that." Daddy commended as he grabbed Mom's hand and they both walked away from us to go mingle.
"Thank you, Geo." I smiled as I interlocked out fingers.
"For what?" He questioned.
"Everything." I smiled.
"Thank you, Jules." He repeated.
"For?"
"Being you." He stared into my eyes before placing his finger under my chin, aligning my lips with his own just before kissing me.
