Obsessed

Chapter 21

Celeste

"Babe, when are you coming home?" Kaleb asked. I unlocked my car, put my purse in the passenger seat put my seatbelt on. "I'm on my way home. I literally just got in the car." I said. I put the key in the ignition and I was on my way.
I was leaving the nail salon on this beautiful sunny day. Kaleb was off work today so he offered to stay home with KJ while I pampered myself. How sweet of him! I was only gone for a few hours but it felt like forever. Not only did I get my nails and toes done, but I also got my hair done.
"Hi, papa!" I said, picking my almost 3 year old up in my arms. "Hi, mommy!" KJ says. I kissed my son on the cheek. "Where's daddy?" I asked. KJ pointed in the direction of the living room. I could hear my husband yelling at his PS5. I sighed and made my way towards Kaleb's voice.
"Hey, babe!" I said,putting KJ back down.The living room was a mess. There were clothes everywhere. I put my purse on the coffee table. "Babe." I repeat. Still no answer. Kaleb was way too focused on his game. I sigh loudly. "Kaleb." I said, sternly. KJ was playing in his little ball pin that I got him for Christmas last year.
Married life has been... challenging. I was happy, don't get me wrong. Kaleb and I were definitely still in the honeymoon phase, however we still had a lot of work to do. I loved him with all of my heart. He was just a bit messy. I found myself cleaning up after him 90% of the time. So, not only was I cleaning up after our son but I was also cleaning up after my husband as well.
"Did KJ like the new toys I sent him?" Camilla asked. I finished my last load of laundry and made my way up to my bedroom. "He loved them. You should've seen how happy he was. Thank you so much sis!" I said. "Of course." My big sister says.
It was almost 9 pm. KJ was asleep in his room, Kaleb was still on the game. We got into a little argument earlier over something stupid. I wasn't angry at him but I was just keeping my distance from him for a little bit. This was our first argument in a long time. It was really eating me up inside.
"How's everything been?" Camilla says, interrupting my thoughts. I sighed and put my hair in a bun. "Kaleb and I got into an argument earlier today and it's been eating me up ever since." I said. "Really? Y'all never argue." My sister says to me. "I know! It was over something small but we haven't argued in so long. We're not mad at each other but we've decided to cool off and steer clear of each other for a few hours. He's in the living room and I'm up in the bedroom." I explained. "Aww, man. What did y'all argue about?" Camila questions. I took a seat at the foot of the bed. "I came home from getting my nails and my hair done, right? The house was a mess." I said.
Kaleb and I got into an argument about him not cleaning up after himself. It wasn't terrible to the point where we were screaming at each other, though. I just wanted to be cuddled up with my man but we were cooling off right now. It was for the best, though
"Babe, can we talk?" Kaleb says, standing in the doorway. I look at him through my vanity mirror. I had just gotten out of the shower and was now in the middle of brushing my hair. "Of course." I said. My husband sat down on our queen sized bed. Before he spoke, he let out a long sigh. "I wanted to apologize for earlier. I didn't want it to get to that point." Kaleb tells me. "I accept your apology, baby." I said.
Kaleb grabbed my hand and kissed the back of my palm. "I love you so much. I hate being away from you even if it's only for a second." He says to me. My emotional ass started to tear up. My baby always knew how to make me feel good. I grabbed his chin. "I love you, more!" I said.
Kaleb and I ended up having sex that night. This was that I miss you sex and it wasn't even like we were away from each other too long. We went rounds, too. So, if I ended up pregnant a month from now, we knew why.

Camilla

I looked at myself in the mirror and cried. Then, I looked at the positive pregnancy test. I just couldn't believe it. My heart was pounding out of my chest. This was actually happening.
"Babe, I came home as soon as I could. What's wrong?" Jamari said, walking into the bedroom. I look up at him. "I have something to tell you." I said. "You're scaring me, Camilla. Just tell me what's going on." He says. "I'm pregnant." I tell him.
