Crumbling Paradise

/00/

Happy.

Ectastic.

Contented.

On top of the world.

All the above words and more could be used to describe Jahseh's life. He had everything and more that he ever wished for. A good stable job and a loving husband by his side. A wonderful home that was full of love and laughter.

Jahseh was a high school teacher. He adored teaching even though teenagers weren't the most cooperative group. At twenty five he was happily married to Stokeley Goulborne who was a well known rapper. Six solid years of marriage. Their love flame still burning bright each passing year. Sure they argued like every married couple out there but none of them ever slept angry at the other. They always worked out their differences before the sun rose again. They were a duo to be envied. They were marriage goals. A perfect love story.

"You still working on that song?" Jahseh asked as he entered the in-house studio that belonged to his husband. Stokeley cut short the music.

"Yeah. It's still missing something tho." Stokeley played with the strings of his durag. Jahseh walked further in sitting down on the couch.

"Lemme hear it."he encouraged. He did know a thing or two 'about music. Stokeley sighed before leaning over and restarting the song." Hmmm try lowering the base slightly. It's drowning you." Jahseh said after listening for awhile. Stokeley moved to the set adjusting the base.

"Damn how'd you know?"he laughed starting to jam his head to the new sound. It was exactly what he was looking for. Jahseh just smiled. Stokeley made his way to the man sitting on couch and pulling him on his lap.

"Why you looking so sexy?" Jahseh mumbled biting the other man's ear lobe. Stokeley chuckled.

"It comes naturally." Stokeley cheesed reaching up to play with the somehow curly hair  his husband had." How was work?" His hands moved to Jahseh's shoulders kneading the muscles there. Jahseh let out a sigh loving how the tension in his shoulders begun to unwind under the other man's touch.

"Okay I guess." Jahseh replied resting his head on Stokeley's chest." I'm hungry."

"We could order something." Stokeley suggested knowing damn well there wasn't anything edible in the house.

"I'm hungry for you though." Jahseh said seductively biting his lip.

"You always are tho." Stokeley moved his hands resting them on the other man's plump ass. Jahseh begun to kiss on his neck but Stokeley pulled back." Jared is on his way here so may be after he leaves you can eat me."he proposed but that didn't stop Jahseh from pouting.

"Tell him to leave."he whined.

"Wow Seh. I'm hurt." Jared announced from the door. Jahseh giggled standing up from Stokeley's lap.

"Michael be kicking me out too once y'all start dry humping so don't come for me." He laughed as Jared pulled him into a hug.

"You're the worst brother in law I know." Jared teased pinching Jahseh's arm.

"Ouch! Negro I'm the only brother in law you got." Jahseh slapped him playfully.

"Okay okay you two. Stop it." Stokeley said grabbing Jahseh by his waist walking out the studio with him. It's not that he didn't trust his husband or brother but it was just an instinct from experiences in the past that made him anxious whenever someone that wasn't him touched on his husband. No matter how innocent their intentions were.

"You gonna be in there long?"

"No. Well I hope not. I just need to wrap it up." Stokeley said planting a kiss on the shorter man's cheek." In the meantime order something. I forgot to go grocery shopping." A sheepish grin formed on his lips.
