John in MM

Mariah's POV

I've been so stressed out lately . Everything seems like its becoming overwhelming , maybe I should start back taking the pills john prescribed me. Speak of the devil himself .

"Hey honey, how was your day", John greeted. He leaned in for a kiss but I moved away.

"John that maid needs to be fired", I replied.

"She's been with us for two years now, what's the problem?"

"She isn't focused on her job , and I'm tired of her!", I exclaimed.

"Well I'm not firing her so stop complaing and deal with it."

I was shocked by his response. He usually gives in to my orders. Something hasn't been right lately with him. I brushed the worry out of my mind and headed for our 360 glass shower.

I stripped out of my clothes and began to take a 30 minute wash. Once I was done I dried myself and moisturized my almond skin.

"Sweetheart come to bed I have something to discuss with you." John spoke in a serious tone.

"I'll be there in a minute." , I replied.

Searching through my lingerie drawer I pulled out my black laced bra and panty set as well as my black silk knee-length grown.

After dressing , I entered back in the room and climbed into bed.

"So what do you have to say", I asked.

"I know I've been working alot and haven't spent quality time with you since our honeymoon , so I was thinking that maybe just the two of us should take a two month vacation to paris."

"Oh baby that sounds wonderful !", I yelled excitedly. I pulled him in a tight hug. This is the happiest I've felt in a long time.

"So I take that as yes .",he laughed.

I nodded followed by a kiss on his lips.

This felt so perfect laying in his arms. I wish it could be like this forever.

Two Days Later

Dallan's POV

I dread coming to work. Mister Laurent is good to work for but not that damn wife of his. All she has done was try to make my life hell on earth. Today ain't the day to fuck with me.

After punching in the code I opened the door and was met by a delicious aroma.

"Good morning beautiful ", I greeted Larissa with a hug. Ever since that night of passion we've gotten closer. I really like her.

"Good morning baby, that bitch upstairs is in one of her moods so beware", she replied.

"As long as she don't fuck with you I'm ok", I responded comforting.

"She asked to see you once you got here."

"Oh God pray for me!"

I climbed up the stairs and entered her room without knocking.

"You asked to see me?"

"My My aren't we in a terrible mood this morning", she said jokingly .

"No offence but unless what you have to say is involving my job then we have zero to talk about."

" I called you up here to apologize for my attitude Dallan."

I instantly felt bad. "Oh I-I was out of line, sorry", I studered.

"Its ok I don't blame you. I know I've been a piece of work. My husband has to sometimes give me pills to calm me down."

"What you mean GIVE you pills?", I questioned.

"I take them everyday, they help my nerves."

"Oh ok , well is there anywhere you'd like to go ?"

"No, how about you take the rest of the day off love", she requested.

" Aw thanks, I appreciate that", I said hugging her.

After releasing her we stared in each others eyes. Its like she had me under a strance. She leaned in , I met her halfway and our lips connected.

I didn't know how to respond so I just smiled and walked back downstairs. Maybe she isn't so bad.

Larissa's POV

I slaved in this house cleaning and cooking lunch , finally I was done.

I know something is going on with that bitch and Dallan. He been up there way to long. The lunch tray I prepared consisted of Chicken Gnocchi soup , garlic bread , and a slice of red velvet cheesecake .

"Here is your lunch madame", I said politely .

"What the fuck is this, get this shit out of my sight!"

"This is what you requested, chicken gnocchi soup", I replied confused.

"Bitch that was last week!"

"You have no right to speak to me that way. You are out of line!", I said with confidence.

"Bitch who the hell-"

Next thing I know hot soup followed by a lunch tray was being thrown at my head. I screamed out in pain and ran down the stairs."Bitch your ass is fired!!!", she yelled in a singing voice.

I was almost out the front door when I was stopped by Dallan.

I snatched my arm back .

"What the hell happened , are you ok?"

"That bitch is crazy, you need to quit if you know whats good for you!"

"No YOU'RE crazy if you THINK thata about to happen! I told you I do not have a green card!", he responded in his Jamaican accent.

"Oh really so its like that huh?"

"Yeah its like that, you probably started with her anyway ."

"Fuck you and that bitch!", I exclaimed and walked out slamming the door.
