The Holiday.

Marah

Marah POV

Devin finally texted me back.

'I'm on my way.'

It's so boring here. I've been spending more and more time in South Carolina since last year. Devin moved me into a townhome at Indigo Run cause he wants to be close to the kid and still see me. It's alright, I can run my online boutique from here, but it's so boring! I have to go to Savannah for any nightlife. And even that's nothing like Miami. Might need to fly my girl Kim out next week. She can always find a turn up.

I hear Devin's key, I stand by the door ... naked.

He comes in and doesn't seem to notice.

"Hey Marah."

Hi.

He just brushes past me.

Devin, I missed you Babycakes.

"Yeah, yeah missed you too."

You don't seem like it.

"I had a long day Babe."

You're stressed, come let me relax you.

"Oh, not right now. I'm tired. I just need sleep."

You can sleep at home. I haven't seen you all week.

I poke my lip and lean on the wall.

He smirks.

"True, but I need some sleep right now. Sorry, come here. You know what you do to me, standing at the door like that ... you trying to give me a heart attack Sexy?

I go over and hug him. He kisses me, but moves my hand when I reach for his belt.

"I said no. We can fuck before I go to the office. I'm staying the night."

You sure? No quieres follarme la boca? Necesito tu semen.

Devin ignores my 'Española sexy', and goes up to the bedroom. Figures. 'Emotionally Fragile Flynn' did it again.

He's always tired and stressed, been worse over the last couple of years. It's all her fault, bitch got major issues. Always something, and it affects Devin.  I don't get the appeal, she's cute I guess ... I don't even understand how he got her back and Larry out of the picture so fast. I said I would help, but he didn't need it.

In just a few days, she was back in, and I was out. When Devin left to go back to the Bahamas, I didn't see him again for almost a year.

A whole year!

Thankfully he did keep our 'arrangement'. My BMW was delivered, and I was taken care of financially. But everything was done by email, phone and Calvin. I never saw Devin in the flesh. Calvin told me there was some issue in Freeport between Larry and Flynn. Whatever it was, must have been really bad. I think he went crazy on her or something, maybe some accident I don't know, Devin still won't give me the details.

All I ever get is 'Stay in your lane' or  'Don't worry about it'. I even tried again with Calvin.

Nothing.

We're ... close, but he won't give me info. Claims he doesn't know, but I'm sure he lying. Guess it's good he can be tight lipped. Don't want Devin to find out he was delivering more than gifts and messages to me in Miami for all those months. I have no idea what's up with Larry now. I've been completely shut out of the Bourgeois camp.

So anyway, I stopped asking.

Babycakes, you gonna get undressed?

'Snort ..'
