Stringent Serenity

Chapter F O U R

Essence Marie Kenzie

I can't believe he hit me yesterday. What the fuck was going though his mind I have no Idea. I know he said he won't do if again but then again I'm alert because I'm afraid he will. We have our ups and down in our relationship, but hitting me...I don't know. I was at Ultra Foods to get a couple of things for dinner tonight. Trevor was gone yesterday for some reason and Michael said he dropped him back off at my grandparents house. I just brought him back home so I don't know why the hell he would do that so I have to go get him today.

I pushed my cart down the seasoning isle and stopped to look for some onion powder. I found it an turned around and bumped into someone's chest.

"Oh I'm sorry." I said looking up to meet a smirking Damien. I backed up and smiled.

"Well if it isn't the person who never used my number." He smirked reaching over me to grab some pepper. I ran my fingers through my hair.

"I'm sorry. I never got around to do it." I confessed and he nodded.

"So, what's up?" He asked as he followed me down the isle to find some chili pepper.

"Nothing. Looking for chili pepper." I said. He walked away from me an I looked at him dumbfounded. He came back over and handed me the chili pepper. I smiled a little and grabbed it out of his hand.

"Thank you. So I got your number for a reason but it looks like we can't do it anymore." I said. He cocked a eyebrow at me making me laugh a little.

"And what was that?" He asked stopping the cart. I turned to him and leaned against the cart.

" I wanted to know if you wanted to role play. Not kiddy shit, but flirting and doing sexy shit. Wear fancy and elegant clothing and going out every Saturday now an then."

"So foreplay. I can defiantly do that miss Essence." He said grabbing me by my waist and pressing my hips with his, staring down at me seductively. I stopped breathing for a second because this was the sexiest thing ever. But I'm married.

I put my hands on his chest and he tightened his grip. "Not foreplay." I laughed nervously because I can take up on the offer. "Role play. Now let me go, I have to finish so I can go home and cook dinner for my family." He licked his lips and let me go I walked back towards the cart and he followed me.

"So your married or something?" I nodded.

"Mhm." I trailed.

"So, why do you want to role play? I mean, not trying to get all into your business or anything." He said. I took a breathe.

"It's complicated. Plus, I just want to go on a risk. You know, spice my life up a little more." I breathed out. He didn't say anything after that. Going to the line he stood with me.

"What are you doing?" I asked. I wanted to know why was he following me around and not saying anything.

"To pay for my pepper. Duh." He said in a girly tone. I shook my head and laughed. A old lady stood behind us and she stared at us which started to irritate me.

"Yes?" I asked to her. Damien looked back her.

"Are you two a couple?" She asked smiling. Damian looked at me and smirked and I smiled at him then we looked back at her.

"Why yes we are." He said pulled me by my waist I smiled at the women and put my hand on his chest.

"Oh stop!" I smiled giggling.

She smiled. "You two look good for each other." She said.

"Thank you. As a matter of fact we met by ordering the same drink at Starbucks and we hit it off from there!" I said rubbing his chest.

"Yes, I even propose a few mouths later and we got married on a beach at sun down because that's were she broke her ankle." He smiled. I looked up at him and laughed.

"Oh no, stop babe!" I said hitting his chest.

"Oh, you guys are just adorable." She cooed. The lined moved up meaning it was our turn to go.

We turned around smiling extra hard. "oh, let me help you with that hunny!" He said grabbing the food putting it on the slider.

"Oh, thank you babe." I said. After we finished we locked hands until we got outside we bursted into fits of laughter.

"Oh my gosh, that was hilarious!" I said as I caught my breathe. He nodded,

"Yes, she believed us. I think we do look nice together." He said. I looked at him and weakly smiled.

"Mm well, I have to go home. I'll text you where we're meeting Saturday." I said winking at him. He smiled showing his pearly white teeth and waved goodbye as we went our separate ways.

Maybe we could work this out...
