“Most of the time when you’re involved.” He laughed when I playfully punched him in the stomach. “Naw, you know it’s not just about sex. You my best friend, my wife, my dawg, my everything, so yeah, I want you there with me, but I want your business and shit to be successful and as big as you want it to be too, so I understand why you can’t make it.”
“Really?” I felt tears filling my eyes after listening to him because he was my person so that made him my everything too.
“Hell yeah. Shit with us happened in a crazy way, but I know it’s real. Never had to second guess it.”
“Baby, you’re too sweet.” I simpered and kissed his lips.
“Oh shit, you ’bout to give a nigga some pussy?”
Laughing, I climbed out of his arms and off of the couch before heading for the steps. I had been at work all day, around people and chemicals, so I needed to wash the day off of me. I turned to Javyous who was sitting up on the couch watching mewith his lip tucked between his teeth. Since he was watching, I slowly pulled my shirt over my head.
“You feel like helping your wife out in the shower?”
I didn’t have to wait for him to respond. He jumped over the back of the couch and rushed toward me, scooping me in his arms and running up the stairs straight to our bathroom.
I guess I got my answer.
Chapter Nineteen
Javyous
“Baby, I’m only going for like an hour or so.” I laughed at Kehlani refusing to unwrap her body from mine.
“Why do you have to go?” she whined. “You’re going out of town soon and he’s going with you so that’s not fair.”
Again, I laughed and peeled her arms from around my neck. I placed my palms flat on each side of her as I hovered.
“I been ditching training and shit early for you and all this week baby, let me just kick it with my cousin for a couple of hours.”
Leaning down I kissed the tip of her nose then her lips.
“JV! Can I go?” Si entered our room and climbed on the bed.
The twins had finally come back home earlier and they both had been under a nigga the whole time too. None of them wanted a nigga to leave. If this was how it was with me only leaving a couple of hours, then I could only imagine what it was going to be like when I was on the road.
“Naw, li’l homie, you can’t go where I’m going.”
I kissed Kehlani’s lips one more time before lifting and allowing him to cuddle into his mother.
“Why not?”
“Because I’m going to a grownup spot.”
“The strip club?”
“Messiah!” Kehlani screeched but I laughed. He was always trying to figure some shit out.
“Naw, li’l man, not the strip club.”
“Javyous.” Kehlani eyed me.
“What you know about the strip club anyways?”
“Daddy said that’s where men hang out. You’re a man, JV, you’ve never been?”
I wanted to answer him, but his mother was grilling me, so instead I grabbed him by the ankles, pulled him my way and started to tickle his stomach.
“Stop, stop!” he pleaded and I tickled his stomach, sides, and neck.
