I awoke to the breeze through the trees. Our house smelt of sweet lavender. Smooth brown arms wrapped around my body. I look down smiling at the woman, clinging onto me for dear life. There was a very unlikely chance of me letting her go. This is where I wanted to be.

I'm in love with her. I couldn't say it aloud because she might not be ready.

I quickly slipped away as she let out a small whimper. I smile, kissing her head. I stepped out of our room and into the kitchen. I made her favorite — pancakes covered in chocolate chips and syrup.

The atmosphere smelt sweet and heavenly. It left my mouth watering. I stepped into the bedroom to wake the cute sleepy monster. My face saddens to see her sniffling. Her face was buried into the sheets. I sat beside her causing her to sit up and wipe her face. I placed the plate in front of her, trying to get a reaction. But it was just a slight smile.

"Thank you so much," she says in a stuffy voice. I caresses her tear stained cheeks, kissing her. She melted under my touch, laying against my chest.

"What happened, baby?"

"I woke up and got on my phone. Every news outlet are questioning why I fainted. Some think I'm on drugs. Others think the truth." She pauses and breathes out.

"It's just too much."

I breath out, trying to process what she said. I wanted to protect her from the world so bad. Especially since she's apart of the "famous" life.

"You can try to make your publicist say something. But if you don't wanna talk about it, it's your choice."

"It is my choice. I don't have to say anything but to get these people off my back, I want to confess and say it isn't drugs."

I nod, pulling her in. Her coco smell, engulfed me. Her locs tickled my cheek as I tightened my hold.

"Maybe...we should go on vacation." Jada pulls away, star struck.

"That would be amazing."

"Let's do a family trip."

She pepper kisses my face, causing me to giggle. She lays her soft lips upon mine.

"Let's do it."

"But where to?"

I looked at her, laughing. She gives me a confused and curious look.

"I have an idea."

I sat down at the dinner table. Jada walked over whilst her parents cooked in the kitchen. Her sister sat next to my daughter, feeding her fruits. I smiled, looking at the family I had gained.

Jada sat on my lap, putting her fingers through my hair. I laid back, relaxing under her touch. This is what heaven feels.

"So, you gonna tell me where we're gonna go?"

I shake my head as she groans. Her arms wrapped around my shoulders as she gives me a hug.

"I wanna tell the whole family first."

She nods, pulling away. I sat her on the chair beside me and stood up.

"Hello, family," I announced. Jada stares up at me, awing at my words.

"I brought you all here for an announcement. Jada and I are going on a trip. We gift you all a few weeks in Bali. We will be leaving next week."

The family gasped and cheered. Hugs were shared between them all.

"Bali, baby," Jada giggled, clinging onto me. I kissed her lips, savoring the taste.

I knew this would be the best vacation ever. Everything would be alright because of this big family we have.

Elijah had picked up Miya for dinner. That bitch has already take away my family. She definitely embodies what I called — a home wrecker.

I was alone in the house and had nothing to do. I was sexual frustrated and needed someone to take off the edge. Drinking and eating wasn't helping. So, why not bang the sadness out of me.

How could I let this happen?

How could I let a good man go?

Why am I even asking myself these questions — that I know the answers to. I was sex deprived and needed someone to feel the void. Elijah had talked of maturing and that our younger days are finished.

We need to grow up for the baby.

And all that bullshit.

It's funny he talks of leaving behind his young years, yet he sleeps with a youngling.

That youngster is taking everything from me. They're even going on a trip to Bali. Elijah said whilst packing Miya's suitcase. No invite — nothing.

But it's fine. I'll get my own damn ticket and I'll bring a special surprise with me too.

I get up from the couch, pausing YOU. I had just started sobbing because of my empty glass cup. Just as I reach the kitchen, the door bell rings. I jump, clenching onto my chest.

I rush to a mirror, wiping away any tears and runny mascara. I slipped back my robe, showing off my cleavage. I pushed up my hair and strolled to the front door.

I opened it up to see the tall muscular, radiating sex appeal. He hovered over me, wanting to devour me. He gives me a mischievous smile, checking out my two plump humps.

"Hi, old friend."
