Page 40 of Spending Forever With You

Hollis’s laugh was humorous as she retook her seat, eating her food while she ignored me.

I was a joke to her and wasn’t going for that shit. So I walked up behind her, placing both of my hands on the island, blocking her in as I leaned down to get close to her ear so she could hear me loud and clear.

“You laughing because you already know that shit is mine.”

“No, I’m laughing because it’s funny you still believe that it is. Baby, the way this kitty purrs or this ass waddles on the dick now, you wouldn’t know what to do with it and never will you get the chance to play in it again.” She laughed harder as she took a bite of her waffle that smelled like peaches.

The whole scene had me getting closer to her ear as my hands dropped to her love handles, caressing them meticulously.

“Hershey, I know it’s been a while but let’s not forget who taught that pretty muthafucka how to purr and how to get this fat ass to dance on a dick just right. If you want to remove that fuck ass rule for me to show you what I’ll do to you and my pussy, then just say the word, baby. I’ll happily correct your temporary amnesia.”

When she chuckled again, I prepared myself for her slick ass mouth but wasn’t nearly ready for her remark that hit me in my chest.

“Ugh, when did you become one of those niggas? We’re only into week three and you acting real mannish, Luke. This pussy right here is for considerate husbands, and clearly that’s not your ass. Now get off me before I stop being nice.” She pushed me away and I didn’t fight it. When I went to speak, my phone rang with the law office’s number flashing.

I answered, putting it on speaker.

“Hey, Mr. Deacon. I was just calling to let you know probate court went well and I have the keys to the house and car for you and Hollis. Just let me know when you can come or I can stop by if that’s easier.”

“Hi Skyla, you can stop by this morning if you’re free,” Hollis added, which I was sure had Skyla smirking.

“Oh perfect. I’m leaving the hearing now and will be there soon.”

It didn’t hit me until I caught Hollis’s wide ass smile that suddenly made sense of her sounding way too happy to hear from Skyla and inviting her over.

She’s leaving you yet again.

Nigga, you gotta stall this shit out. You just got her back.

“Skyla, we can come to you. It’s no problem. Even schedule an appointment if you’re too busy today. We’re in no rush,” I said, jumping into the conversation that had gotten away from me, ignoring Hollis’s heavy gaze. I didn’t have to see it to know she was mugging the hell out of me.

“No worries. This is easier for me. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

“Okay, just let the guard know who you are and who you’re here for. We’ll see you soon,” Hollis said in an even perkier tone than before.

Damn, and just like that it’s over.

“What the hell you on, Luke?”

“What?” I shrugged, now going for my container, taking a bite of my steak that had gotten cold all over again as I hit a few buttons on my phone to let the security guard on duty know Skyla was on her way.

I put my finger up as I placed the phone to my ear, cutting her off.

“Hey, Rickey, Skyla Howell will be on her way soon. You can let her in.” I ended the call, and not a second later, Hollis jumped back in where she left off.

“Oh no rush, we can schedule an appointment? Um… hello? You said, no, scratch that, we agreed quick and easy. Why are you trying to drag it out?”

“I’m not. I was just saying if coming this way was out of her way or she had other things to do we could make our way there. Don’t make it something, Holls. Trust me, I understand you want to get back to hating me.”

“Correction back to being single first off, and yes, my life. Hating you hasn’t changed.”

I snorted as I nodded while I chewed my food.

“Well that’s good to know. Make sure you hold that tight. Can’t have the world thinking you might love a nigga.”

“Neva!” I chuckled as the sound of the doorbell had me putting my fork down, walking up on her and kissing her temple.

“Well, pretend for me one more time, Hershey.” I left her on that note to get the door for Skyla as I prepared to lose my wife yet again.
