I'm washing my face after taking a shower when Kofi walks in and decides that this is the perfect time to use the toilet. This is his thing almost every morning, he walks in while I'm washing my face or doing my makeup to take a dump and I have adjusted to this routine. At first, I hated it because, sorry babe but it smells putrid but somehow, I have managed to adjust to it. When you get into a serious, committed relationship you puke, take dumps and fart in front of each other and it isn't considered weird.

"Good morning" his morning voice says, turning me on. I don't know what it is about hearing his raspy voice that makes me putty and ready to get some backshots.

"Good morning baby"

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"You looked peaceful and I didn't want to be the one that would disturb that"

"It's your fault I overslept"

"How is it my fault?"

"You laid it on me good last night and that knocked me out. Luckily I don't have any meetings early this morning"

"You're silly"

"I'm serious baby. Your pussy is like melatonin, it always puts me to sleep" he reiterates making me laugh

I leave him in the bathroom and I start getting dressed. I walk into my closet before dropping the white towel that was wrapped around my body. I pick a nude pushup bra with some seamless panties to match before I put on the black bandage dress I picked out for the day. I quickly do my makeup and I grab my handbag plus my car keys before I head out of the room. I pass my husband who is eating cereal while sitting on one of the kitchen stools as I grab an apple from the fruit bowl.

"You look beautiful and you smell amazing"

"Thank you handsome. I'm heading out now"

"Aren't you having breakfast?"

"No but I'll get something on my way to the store"

"You always say that then you spend the day without eating anything"

"I know I always say that but I'll make sure that I eat something"

"Mmm... okay, now give me a kiss before you go"

I put my hands around his neck and his hands fondle my butt as we kiss. The kiss is the kind that awakens sexual desire and I am almost tempted to continue but I have to get to work before I am late.

"I'm going to the factory today so my phone may be unavailable most of the day"

"Okay, I'll see you later"

"I'll bring dinner so you don't have to worry about that"

"Okay baby. I love you"

"I love you too. Bye" he says before smacking my ass.

The drive to the store isn't that long because I managed to beat traffic today. I walk into the store as my shop assistant is organizing a few things.

"Good morning Mrs A"

"Good morning Natalie. How was your weekend?"

"It was great. I got to spend time with my sister and my nephew. What did you get up to this weekend because you have this glow"

"Well, I was working on the website when Kofi decided to surprise me with a shopping spree and bike rides before we sat down and watched the sunset"

"That sounds so nice"

"It was amazing"

"You're both lucky to have each other"

"Thanks" I smile

"I wish I had someone that would do those nice things for me but all I get is heartbreak from every guy I give a chance"

"I was once in your shoes, uncertain if I was ever going to find a man that would treat me right or even find real love. My ex wasn't shit and I was slowly giving up on love but Kofi came and changed my perception of what I thought love was"

"I hope I find that too"

"I hope you do"

Natalie is twenty two years old and you'd think she is my younger sister with the type of relationship we have. She started working with me last year and she has been great since then.

I walk into my office and there's a huge pile of paperwork that I have to get through and I can't complain because I chose to run my own business. Minutes later, Natalie buzzes me, letting me know that there's someone on the line for me and with that, my day in the office begins.

Some hours later, Natalie walks into my office holding a huge bouquet of roses as I am munching on a spicy chicken sandwich.

"You have a delivery Mrs A"

"Please leave them on the desk"

Once I'm done with my sandwich, I grab the bouquet with what is definitely three dozen pink roses and I pull the note. The note reads, 'for the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world,' instantly making me smile. I try to call him but his phone is unavailable and I remember him mentioning that he wouldn't be reachable today. I get back to work and a few hours later, I start packing up so I can head home. I grab my handbag, my laptop bag and the huge bouquet of roses before I head to my car.

I head up to our apartment and I walk into an empty place. I remove my heels which have been killing me and I walk into the kitchen so I can get a vase for the roses. I snip them at the ends as I put them in a vase with water before placing the beautiful arrangement on the kitchen counter.

Feeling the fatigue from today, I decide to take a shower. After getting every crevice, I step out of the shower and I wash my face with some black soap. I have been struggling with blemishes on my forehead for some weeks now and the black soap has been working a miracle. Once my face is washed and I have moisturized, I get dressed in a black negligee and a black silk robe to match. I walk into the kitchen where I find Kofi sitting by the kitchen counter with a hard look on his face.

"Hi baby" I go in for a kiss but he moves his face and my lips land on his cheek. Okay, someone is clearly upset about something

"What's wrong? Was it work?"

"Nothing is wrong"

"That's a lie and we both know it. Please tell me what has you this upset"

"Who sent you those flowers?"

"I thought you sent them"

"I didn't send you any flowers today but whoever did must adore you"

"Why do I get a feeling that you are accusing me of something"

"I mean, what do you expect me to think?"

"It seems like you already have your mind made up that I'm doing some shady stuff"

"Well, are you?"

"I can't believe you just asked me that"

"How would you feel if you were in my shoes?"

"If I was in your shoes, I would talk to my wife nicely and question her calmly without thinking the worst"

"You must think I'm stupid to believe that you have no idea where those flowers came from"

"I didn't say that, neither did I think that. It just sounds like you're projecting your own insecurities onto me and I don't like that"

"You know what, until you are ready to tell me who sent you those flowers then you and I have nothing to talk about"

"Are you serious?"

"As a heart attack"

"Fine, suit yourself"

He walks out of the kitchen and heads to the bedrooms where he bangs the door. His hotheadedness is the reason why we have these types of arguments. He never listens to what I have to say, instead he jumps to conclusions without listening to me but I'm not kissing his ass this time. He can kiss my ass for all I care because I am innocent in this situation but he doesn't want to listen to me.

I grab the brown paper bag from my favorite restaurant and I reheat the chicken marinara. As I'm eating, my mind starts to think about who could have sent me those flowers. I honestly don't know who could have sent those flowers and I decide to leave it at that before I fry my brain. I grab the food container and throw it in the bin, along with the flowers. I head to the bedroom where I find Kofi laying in bed with his naked upper half resting on the headboard. As I move around the room getting my bonnet and eye mask, I can feel his eyes on me. I ignore his intense gaze and I join him in bed but I lay as close to the edge as possible.

"Baby..." I feel his body press against mine and his lips on my neck

"I have a busy day tomorrow and I need to sleep" I say before he huffs and rolls over to his side

Kofi has this tendency of using sex to apologize, I don't mind the sex but he needs to learn how to apologize verbally and to listen to me without jumping into conclusions. Until I get that apology, he'll be getting a cold shoulder.
