He stalked into my bedroom, moving around for a minute before I felt the dip in the bed. I closed my eyes when I felt him pull my body into his. Even though I was fuming, why did being in his arms finally have my body ready to rest? I was too at peace in his arms even though I had hell in my mind.I was too used to this man that was not mine.
My thoughts were halted when I felt his lips to my temple, then everything went quiet and the sleep I so badly needed came flowing in as if it had been waiting for me to be still.
Sleep came and went for me. It felt like as soon as I was falling asleep, my phone was ringing. When I checked the time, it was seven in the morning and my sister was calling. She was, of course, letting me know she’d be on her way to get Adonis in a few, so I needed to get him ready. Thank God for that call because he definitely would have missed the zoo this time as I was dead asleep in Rennix’s arms.
I arose from the bed, taking care of my hygiene and going to brew coffee. I was never the type to go back to sleep after I was fully awake, so this was it. I was up and needed to get my day started. I went into Adonis’s room, going into his closet before I woke him. It took me no time to pick out what he was wearingtoday. I woke him up five minutes later and got him together, brushing his teeth, moisturizing his skin, and making sure he was presentable while still half asleep.
Adonis was a morning person, but some mornings were just no-gos. My baby loved his sleep.
“You gotta wake up if you wanna go to the zoo with Te-Te.”
“Mommy, I tired,” he whined, clinging to me as I walked him into the living room. I smelled my coffee which meant I needed to be making my way to it.
“Do you want me to tell Te-Te another day?” I asked.
“No,” he whined when I sat him on the couch and moved to the kitchen. I was thirteen seconds into stirring my coffee when Cylah called and told me she was outside. I walked him out and put him into his seat before leaning into the passenger side window to talk to her.
“I’ll Zelle you in a few.”
“What are you sending me money for, Cay?” She looked confused.
“Because you’re taking him out.”
She waved me off. “I told your surrogate mother ass he’s fine. That’s my baby. We good.”
I laughed. “Yeah, alright.” I was still gonna send her money.
“Now go in and go to sleep, you look like you were up all night. Don’t you have clients in a few?”
I nodded. “You right about that. Love you. Bye, baby,” I said to her and my son. Funnily enough, Adonis had already fallen back asleep in his seat.
“Love you too.”
I backed up and watched her pull out my driveway before I went back into the house. When I reentered the house, to my shock Rennix was in the kitchen making himself a cup of coffee. Of course he was, he was the only man I knew who actually drank coffee in the morning.
“Good morning to you too, Cay.”
“Hi.”What the fuck was that?I asked myself after I had already fucking said it.
“The fuck you outside in that little ass dress for?”
I scoffed, reaching for my own cup of coffee and moving to the sink.
“What, you mad at me about now, Caya baby? What I do?” The expression on his face was cute, too fucking cute for me to be staying mad right now. Not to mention he was shirtless with a pair of sweats hanging dangerously low at his waist.
“Why would you show up here drunk after being out with your hoes?” I asked, knowing damn well I shouldn’t have said a damn thing but I couldn’t stop myself. I was feeling what I shouldn’t have over a man who wasn’t mine.Fuck, I was jealous.
“I don’t get drunk with hoes because I don’t trust ’em. I was out with my broth—” he started, but I threw my hands up to stop him.
“No, don’t explain. I’m sorry, that’s none of my business. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” I shook my head, attempting to push off the moment. My anxiety got the best of me.
He shook his head and set the coffee cup down in front of him. “You know what’s wrong with you just like I do.” He was on his feet and had already rounded the corner into my space.
“And what is that, Rennix?” He was so close to me I could smell remnants of his cologne from last night.
He didn’t respond verbally but instead picked me up and placed me on the island before stepping between my legs.
“Rennix,” I almost whined, feeling his rough hands moving up my exposed thighs.
