Do You Remember Me?

Don't Forget It

2013 The Jackson Household: Toni-
"You go get that Tone?" Tamar asks as we sit on my couch with Towanda. "Nope" my phone has been ringing nonstop since Janet announced to the world that we was married over an hour ago and I already know it's just news reporters, and celebrity gossip shows wanting to get the first scoop of our marriage. But right now I need time to process what this means for us, yes I was ready to let the world know but I wanted to be in on the decision and how we would tell them. And I wanted to do it for the right reasons, not because of Janets jealousy.

"I got to call momma Kat and let her know what is going on, she got the boys so I need to make sure the reporters don't try to be all up in their face. Wanda can you call momma and tell her what is going on?" I ask and she nods. I get up before going into the kitchen so I can call Katherine. "Hey momma Kat...yep that's what I was calling you for...yeah they can stay a few days with y'all...I didn't know she was going to do it today...I'm not mad at her just...your daughter has a possessive streak I'm guessing she gets from Joe...haha yeah...okay bye I love you kiss my babies for me...bye" I hang up with her and sit my phone beside me before leaning back on the counter facing away from the kitchen entrance.

"Leslie you are my assistant not the other way around I don't got to inform you of what I want to do...tell her I will put out a statement when I am good and ready to but until then do damage control like I hired her to do...no I'm not going to say it was a joke tell them I'm married to Toni Michele Jackson like I said and keep it at that nice and simple...mhmm bye" Janet says coming into the kitchen as she gets off the phone. I hear her sit it on the table beside mines before she comes to stand in front of me leaning on the opposite counter.

We eye each other intensely for a few minutes before she speaks. "You don't got nothing to say?" She asks crossing her arms. "What do you want me to say Janet? How I think it was incredibly selfish of you to go and blurt it out like that without consulting me? How I think you are the most possessive woman I ever met and you only did it to lay public claim on me? Or how you didn't even tell me you was going to do it leaving us with this shit we got to clean up?" I say snapping at her and her eyes lower on me angrily.

"I thought we did enough consulting last night when you was begging me to go public and now that I did it's a problem? And how is me not wanting another woman's arms around you possessive? What do you want her to be the one holding you? Oh and I already made my claim on you public or not, you will always be mines don't forget that baby. And you should have expected this shit to happen since we got together especially got married, look around at who we are?! My every move has been watched my whole life and your has been watched nearly half of your life that's the perks of being a celebrity! You wanted this Toni now deal with it!" She finishes pointing at me.

"What I wanted was for us to sit down and discuss this rationally and come up with ways we can tell the public not just blurt it out!" I say pushing her finger away from me. "Rather we would have blurted it out or sent coming out baskets the world would have still reacted like this!" She shouts making me roll my eyes, "at least I would have been in on the decision! This marriage has two people involved not just you! You can't go around making decisions like that!" I shout at her. "I was doing what you wanted!" She shouts back. "No you was being selfish!" I yell before storming away from her and up the stairs to our room noticing Tamar and Wanda left as I pass through the living room.

I get in our bed and under the thick covers as tears falls down my eyes. I'm I being too hard on her? I did want this but I also wanted to be apart of coming out with her, but do it even matter? As long as I'm with her that's what should matter, us and our boys. I hear the door to our room opening and shutting and she rustles around a little before I feel the bed dip beside me. She gets under the covers with me and pulls it back over our head so it's completely dark underneath it before she pulls my back to her front, holding me close.

Her hand makes slow strokes on my lower belly relaxing me. "I'm sorry" she says in my ear. "I'm sorry too baby, it doesn't even matter at the end of the day how we came out, all that matters is I'm with you and the boys forever" I say grabbing her hand and tucking it tight against my chest. "That is what matters most. And I'm sorry I get so jealous and possessive sometimes baby, it's just...I have never had someone love me like you do and I have never loved no one like I love you and the boys. And sometimes I think I will lose all of that" she says. I turn to her and pull her close to me, "you will never lose us, we love you baby you are our daddy" I say playfully and she laughs kissing my forehead. "We will get through this reporters and gossip together like we get through everything else but I know one thing, I will never hide my love for you again" she says firmly. "I love you" I say. "I love you too baby" she says before pulling me in for a kiss. Whatever challenges we face we always fight them together...

Present Time-
I wake up to my legs sore and my private parts tender. I look around the room confused as the sunlight shines through it like a welcoming wagon. My head pounds and I know the alcohol I consumed last night along with the strenuous sex I had last night is the one to blame. "Ugh" I groan out as I cover my eyes against the sun. "Well good morning sunshine, or should I say afternoon" Janet cheerfully voice calls out as she comes out of the bathroom. "You should shut up" I groan out clenching my head in my hands.

"Wow snippy aren't we?" She says coming to sit on the edge of the bed. The smell of her strawberry body wash greets me so I'm guessing she just got out the shower. "I should have crawled out the window when I had a chance" I moan pulling the covers over my head. I don't even attempt to get out of bed because I know my legs will collapse on me after the sex we had last night and early this morning. "Aww poor baby" she coos out rubbing my back. "You did this to me jackass" I snap wanting to push her hand off of me but it feels too good. "You deserved it baby, come on I ran you a nice bathe so get up" she says pulling the covers off of me and the crisp morning she hits my naked body making me shiver.

"Now you know damn well I can't walk" I say glaring at her smiling face and I want to wipe that smile right off of her. "Mmm I put in some work last night, come here let me see" she says pulling my legs close to her and I am too weak to fight it as she spreads them apart. "Mmm you got to have the most juiciest cat I have ever seen" she says going to stroke my folds but I quickly close my legs. "Uh uhh no ma'am, you want be getting a taste of me in a while Damita Jo" I say and she just roll her eyes before standing up. "We'll see, now come on we are having lunch with my Joe later" she says before picking me up and carrying me to the bathroom. "You paralyzed me and want me to sit in front of Papa Joe like I'm good, girl please" I say making her laugh. "You will be fine" she says sitting me in the hot water that smells like vanilla and brown sugar...

"Baby you remember when we had came out?" I ask as she runs the rag over my back. "Yes ma'am, I thought the phone was never going to stop ringing" she says making me chuckle. "Me either. But it turned out alright in the end. Although I know some of your male and female admires was mad you was taken" I say making her laugh. "You had a few admires who gave me the stink eye every time I saw them. But they was just jealous because you are mines" she says lifting my chin up so I am looking into her big brown eyes. "I am huh?" I tease. "Yes you are and don't you forget it" she she says pulling me into a kiss. Like I could ever forget we belong to each other...
