Chapter three

Just in case you missed it: Chapter 2!

By the time Aubrey awoke, the sun had already risen above the mountains. Kitziah had left for work many hours ago leaving him in his deep slumber. She even left a small kiss on his cheek. Just maybe he dreamed in his sleep that he got more than that.

He quickly sat up stretching his bones wanting to reach over and hug onto his wife. Her absence alerted him that he could not do what he wanted to do. Maybe it was for the better? Maybe it was just a deletion of an argument that could have possibly occurred? That's what he thought and that's what got him to not be upset about it. His eyes were squinted reading the clock that read back 2:43. That was the best sleep he had received in a while. A definite advantage of not working would be to sleep in; therefore, he was grateful about that.

But on second thought, he was alone. What did it matter to him? Being alone didn't mean he was going to be bored. So, he slipped from out of his bed and headed straight to the shower. The hotness and steam of the water would do good for his toned, but sore back. It was healing by the day giving him ideas to revenge, but in a playful way as it was received.

After he got out the shower, he went over to check his phone. 3 emails, 1 missed call from his dad and a voice mail. He listened to the voice mail just to make sure it wasn't something urgent and important. He sent a text to his wife and right when he was sending it, someone came knocking on the door. Great. Who was it and why'd they have to come when he was only in a towel? In a flash, he threw on some sweat pants and a beater and rushed downstairs.

On the other side of the front door stood a woman who attired in a tan cap, khaki pants and a blue FedEx shirt. She came about 5'6 feet tall.

"Good afternoon, sir," she said smiling and looking Aubrey up and down. He was still wet and it was clearly visible. "Ellis residence, correct?"

"Correct. And good afternoon to you too."

"Here's your package, sir. Please sign here."

He took the package up under his arm and proceeded to sign the clip.

"Here you go."

When he gave her back the clip, she didn't take it. She froze.

“Oh my gosh I loved you in the bold and the beautiful. I'm a huge fan”

“Thanks I appreciate it,"

She froze again after getting a full view of him.

"Um, hello?" he said waving his hand. "Everything okay down there?"

"Oh I'm so sorry. Is it hot or is it just me?"

"Well I feel fine. Maybe it's just you."

"Or maybe it's you," she let out a grin.

"Excuse me?" he said, face half smiling and half confused.

"Oh nothing," she giggled. "Have a nice day, sir."

He locked the door and he wasted not a second going back in the house and shutting the door. "Effin weirdo," he mumbled to himself while chuckling. He took a second to get a better look at the package. It was for none other than Kitziah. She probably really ordered those shoes she was talking about. "Of course." He twitched his eyes and threw it on the couch, going into the kitchen.

Lunch alone wasn't such a bad thing. That time gave him time to think about whatever and not have to be fired up before he was even finished eating. He made himself a sandwich and ate in silence.

After lunch, he decided to do some laundry. No surprise that cleaning is what he wanted to do because he's been very used to it already. Growing up respecting and following your parents rules, it's only about a half chance that you drop it all when you get older. Not in this case.

He did the laundry, cleaned up the basement and even fixed the sink he noticed was coming unloose. Who could go wrong with this kind of husband?

Much later that day after cleaning, Aubrey chilled back on his couch occasionally picking up his phone to play a game. In reality, he really wanted someone to rub his shoulders but there wasn't too much he could do about that.

He really wasn't expecting anyone but that didn't stop the second knock at the front door. So, he pushed himself up and went over to answer it.

"Mom!" he said shocked giving her a hug. "Come in, come in."

She stepped inside. "I hope you weren't doing anything, but I just wanted to drop in."

"Nope, you're fine. I'm not doing anything. Just been sitting on my hands. How are you doing, ma?" he asked her as she was sitting down.

"I'm doing marvelous but I was just kind of tied up in knots thinking about you. You've been aloof lately."

Mumbling and changing head position, he replied, "I'm not the only one."

"What was that?" she questioned unsure.

"Oh nothing, ma."

"So what's going on?"

"Uh, just chilling...? Is dad okay?"

"Yes, he was just calling to see if we should go out together sometime."

"Yeah I know, but is he okay himself? I didn't call him back yet."

"Yes sweetie, he's fine. You know something?"

"What?"

"You never told me how your date went..."

Staring at her with a calculating glare, he said, "There was no date."

"Working got in the way, huh?"

"No, mom. She got in the way. I'm sorry to say this, but she's been acting bitchy." He didn't want to show disrespect. 

"Oh wow," she said laughing. "That's a first."

"I know but I didn't feel it was necessary told hold my tongue at the moment. I was trying to be nice, but she was just rude so we didn't go."

"Seriously?"

He nodded.

"Why do you think this sudden change?"

"I don't know. Her personality's definitely salient. How could a try when she doesn't? It's hard & I don't deal with it."

"Wow Aubrey, that is not good. Seriously, she needs to stop acting so... ratchet."

"Mom!"

"Isn't that what they say?"

"Yes," he said dying in laughter. "Where did you learn that?!?"

"Oh never mind that. But really or I'll talk to her myself."

"Wonder how that would go."

"I don't know but if you need me to, seriously, I will."

"Thank you, mom."

"No problem.”...

Irritable and Upset, Kenneth picked up his phone and proceeded to call his wife. He was outside her building waiting for her but she was just taking too long. Heaven, who was in the backseat, also was complaining about how hot it was. Both were getting upset and especially after not receiving a phone call.

After he got no answer on the first call, he raged inside. Two minutes later he tried again. She answered on the fourth ring.

"Hello!" he bellowed.

"Oh hey baby, I'm so sorry. I was just coming to my desk to call you. Stephanie called a meeting at the last minute. I just need 15 more minutes. How about you and Heaven come up here?"

"Gosh, okay, we're on our way."

"And baby..."

"What?"

"I'm sorry."

She quickly hung up the phone while he smiled a quick smile. He turned around to his daughter who was kicking the side of the door. It was cute because her head was tilted, her sun glasses were glistening and her spirally hair fell to the side as well. She looked like she was filled with a little dullness. He laughed at her.

"Come on, Heaven. We're going in."

"Yay! It's too hot."

"I know, Princess. Who does mommy think she is leaving us out in this heat?" he questioned helping her out the car. She shook her head dramatically with no words.

Kenneth walked, but Heaven skipped to the front of the building. Since she was faster than him, she stood against the wall waiting for him. He grabbed her hand and took her in the building.

They waited for an elevator and after a couple seconds with a ding, it opened. He pressed number 3 and went on. While in the elevator, Heaven took the opportunity to go nuts being that there wasn't anybody else in there with them. She jumped up and down with all her might. She stuck her hands out and let the weight of the elevator drag her around. Her little body slammed into the wall.

She got up laughing at herself.

"You silly girl. Let's go."

They exited the elevator and went off into the waiting room. It wasn't ironic at all at how many magazines laid on the small tables with the lamps. It was only right. He took a seat at the nearest chair and grabbed the company's magazine. As Nicki was the editor of La Mode magazine, they had tons of their magazines lying around.

The many silky pages of the magazine were interesting and perfect. Always it was good to read about gossip, humorous jokes, and etc. It was a 30 page magazine that kept him busy. Heaven sat next to him humming to herself. He laughed at a celeb story that completely scandalous.

He was caught to the side when Heaven got up from her chair pointing to someone and blabbering about something. He set the mag on the chair. When he got up and looked over, his world froze.

"Kenneth?" she said.

"Oh, Kitziah! I didn't know you worked here. Wow!"

"I didn't know you worked here either?" she told him slowly and awkwardly.

"I don't. My wife works here."

"Who is your wife?"

"Onika Cunning."

"I don't know her. Sorry, I mean there a lot of different departments."

"Oh I get it," he smiled. He so badly longed for her but he was pretty much aware of his surroundings. She felt the exact same way.

Meanwhile, Onika had just finished logging off her computer. She was excited about getting off and not having her family wait any longer. She said goodbye to Timothy and the rest of the workers there and headed out to the waiting room. She walked down the hallway with a big grin... until she turned the corner. Her husband was standing there talking to someone she didn't like. What was up with that?

She came and stood behind Kenneth putting her index finger up to her mouth to keep Heaven from screaming. He was confused when Kitziah stopped talking and that made him turn around.

"Oh hey beautiful," he smiled.

She looked at him with her lip in her mouth. Her head dropped down to Heaven. "Let's go wait in the car, Heaven." She put out her hand to Kenneth saying, "Key."

He didn't pull out the key. He turned back around saying "Nice seeing you. Take care. Bye" while mouthing something that no one saw. And then he turned around and tried to grab Onika's hand. She pulled away and walked swiftly in front of him with her daughter's hand swinging with hers, but making sure her daughter didn't catch onto the tense moment.

She was pissed.

When she got to the car, Kenneth was lagging behind. You could see it in her face that she wasn't too happy. And it was even worse how they were waiting against the hot car waiting for him to unlock the door. He did a few seconds later. Onika helped her daughter in and then got in the front seat.

Her seat belt clicked. She was just ready to go home and that's it.

"How was your day?" he asked.

"I have nothing to say to you," she spat back keeping her eyes on the street. Kenneth was looking back and forth at his phone.

[I loved seeing you, but I need you with me same place tonight? –Kitz]

He read it and looked at Onika to see if she could see the text before replying.

[Sure –Ken]

...

For a few hours after his mother's visit, Aubrey entertained himself with games and TV shows. There was nothing else really that he wanted to do but stay home, relax and enjoy the peace. That wasn't a big deal. Being able to relax in peace was something he hadn't got to do for last few days.

But, what better time than on a break from work to hang out with your buddies. It was even better than he got invited and not to just show up on your own. He got dressed and drove over to his friend's house.

On the drive, he checked his phone just in case while hooking it up in the car to play some music.

Hearing a knock on the door, Aubrey's friend, Chase, opened the door. Beside Chase was his son who obviously wanted to open the door instead. It would have been fun trying to watch him attempt to open the door being that he couldn't reach the door knob.

"Hey, what's up man?" Chase asked splawing up.

"Nothing much. Hey!" Aubrey smiled down at the little boy. "Jesh. I didn't realize how many kids y'all had 'till now," he joked.

"Maaaan, we up here babysitting."

"So I'm here to help?"

"No, of course not," Marcus tried to say with a straight face while Chase laughed.

"Come on man. We have to get you prepared anyway," Chase cackled.

"I miss Caitlin. She needs to come home now," Anthony babbled.

"Oh shut up," Marcus started. "You just want her here to change the diapers. If I can do it. You can do it," he emphasized.

Aubrey took a laugh at the boys being that he & another friend had no kids meaning they didn't have to deal with it. After a few seconds of laughing, he stopped to think. He actually would love to be in their position one day but just knew that it probably wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

"So where is Cait anyway?" Chase curiously asked.

"No telling. She could be at the mall. She could be getting her nails done, or her hair. Who knows," Anthony shrugged.

"Oh you got you a Diva," Marcus said.

"Basically. Where's Mrs. Alinaaaa?"

"She's at home sleep. That's where she's at. I would ask Rocko but Lord knows how many women he has."

"Actually, I just have one."

"Yeah right," Marcus chortled.

"I'm serious. Anyway, where that Kitziah? I be seeing her all the time."

"Excuse me?" Aubrey asked.

"Yeah you know, she works downtown, my friend works downtown."

"Friends,'" Marcus emphasized.

"I don't know where she's at now."

Anthony interrupted by saying, "Man, you could probably locate her at the mall spending all your money. That is where my wife be."

All laughed and the conversations went on.

Riding home was full of heat; literally and figuratively. Kenneth looked over to his wife often seeing the problem. Why was it a bigger deal to her than it was to him?

Upon arriving home, Heaven had fallen asleep in the backseat. It was fun for Onika getting her out and carrying to her bed. The good thing was that Heaven stayed asleep after being laid down. Onika kissed her nose and slowly crept out of her room.

Kenneth was sitting on the living room couch waiting for her. He waited and waited but she never came back down the steps. She was in her room undressing out of her work clothes. He sat still for two more minutes and figured she wasn't going to come back down, so he went up.

Lightly he pushed the door open seeing his wife throw off her earrings out of her ear. He closed the door behind him and strutted over to her. He touched her arm scaring her.

"Don't fuckin' touch me," she yelled silently.

"What is wrong with you?"

"Kenneth, you're up there talking to that bitchy slut! Why were you talking to her anyway? You looked way too fuckin' comfortable. I don't like that girl. And then you had the nerve to tell her to take care?! What the hell?" She knew she probably shouldn't have gotten that mad but she couldn't help it.

"Oh my goodness... Onika, it's not that big of a deal. Why you getting heated? Why people always say they don't like someone and they don't even know them."

"What are you talking about, man?! I talked to her before and I DON'T FUCKIN' LIKE HER," she said getting in his face.

"Are you telling the truth? She said she didn't know you."

"So you believe her over your own wife?! That impudent, floozy told you a blatant lie! She told you that because she knows I don't like her."

"No, I'm just saying maybe it was someone else."

She threw her hands up in the air. "Unless she has an identical twin, that's her!"

"Oh okay..."

"Kenneth, get out my face right now. I can't even believe you'd consider me lying. That hurts. It really does."

"Well I'm sorry baby."

By now, Onika had tears falling on the ground. "How do you know her anyway?" she asked softly wiping knuckle under her eye.

"Look at me," he stated ignoring her. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you didn't like her and I didn't know she's what you described her as. I'm sorry."

"Kenneth, get your shit. You're sleeping on the couch."

.

He didn't bother to argue because he knew there was no point. And plus he was going to see his mistress. Kenneth knew exactly what he was getting himself into; he is the one that started the secret affair. Then again, Kitziah never objected to it. Kenneth loved his wife; 7 years is no joke and 3 of those years as a married couple.

Sitting on the sofa, he started reminiscing on the life they had before marriage, in high school when they made the year book as 'Couple of the Year: Barbie and Ken', the fun they used to have. Don't get Kenneth wrong, he loved he's daughter so very much; that was his baby. Kitziah was someone new in his life that he planned on keeping around for a long time. As he sat on the sofa waiting for Onika to turn out the light, he texted Kitz:

[Babe you ready for tonight? -Ken]

[Of course, I miss you -Kitz]

[I miss you too. -Ken]

Onika turned off the lights, which was Kenneth's cue to leave. He grabbed his jacket and left.

[See u soon, love you -Ken]

[Love you too. -Kitz]

Once Kenneth arrived at the hotel the infamous couple have they 'sessions' he took a shower scrubbing the smell of Onika off of his skin. When he had finished in the shower, he did his hygiene thing and sprayed on some cologne that Kitz got him out of kindness. Kenneth then took off the one thing that represents Kenneth and Onika's marriage, the ring. He was committing one of the top sins in marriage. Kenneth and Kitziah were unconscious to the consequence that lied ahead of them.

After about 5 minutes of getting dressed, Kitziah came through the suite door and jumped into his hands, wrapping her legs and arms him, pulling him into a long, sinister, forbidden passionate kiss. Kenneth rested his hands on her behind.

"I missed you" Kenneth smiled pulling away.

"Really? How much?" Kitziah asked, curiously, still in his arms.

"I can show you better than I can tell you."

"Oh? Nigga show me what I've missed!" With that said Kenneth threw Kitz on the king size bed. She giggled as he took off her heels and left sweet, sinful kisses from her feet to her inner thigh. He kissed, licked and sucked on her inner making sure not to leave a mark as they both were not ready for the drama. Kenneth made his way to her second pair of lips, he kissed and sucked her below area, holding her left thigh with his right hand and massaging her right breast with his left hand. Until Kitziah reached her peak and came in his mouth. Kenneth's tongue game was definitely on point that one of the reasons Onika married.

He leaned in and kissed her lips that just a moment ago was screaming his name, so she could taste herself. They laid down on the bed returning to recover. Kenneth told Kitz that she had to shower so they could make it to their dinner reservations.

"No nigga you gotta finished what you started" She said pushing his head down to her womanhood.

He chuckled. "Before you get a movie you get a trailer, baby, you gonna have to wait awhile for this movie." He pulled her up, off the bed until she was on her feet. "Now" he smacked her wide ass. "Take a shower"

She mean mugged him. "I hate you"

"Love you too" He kissed her cheek, and then she went into the bathroom giggling.

Hanging out with his boys was fun but Aubrey just wanted to go home. Somehow he just wasn't liking being in the presence of everyone anymore. It was almost as if caught an allergic reaction to them. He was bored there and wanted to be alone again.

On his way home, he figured he'd give his wife a call to see where she was. No answer and no big deal, as of now. He threw his phone on the seat and enjoyed the breeze hitting his face the rest of the way home.

Now he was kind of curious. Something, or everything, was off.

10:26 pm.
The reason he came home early was for Kitziah, but it wasn’t worth it because he couldn’t even locate her. He sat in anger. She went a whole day without texting him back or even calling him up to see if he was okay.

As he laid on his back, he thought of what it would be like if he did something like this. If he were to stay out all night, all hell would rise. But, because it was Kitziah, a different story would occur. Who could seriously keep their spouse worried when all it took was a text message?

10:42 pm.

He tried to ring her cell once again, but no answer. What could she have been doing that was more important than him? Why when he put her first, she put him last? He was fed up.

11:35 pm.

The clock wanted attention and he tried his best to not give the clock his. It was a distraction to keep glancing over at the clock. As the seconds and minutes went by, he felt the urge to do something no one ever would think he would do. That’s the reality when you give your all to someone and they take it for granted.

Selfishness didn’t always occur. This selfishness started no more than two weeks ago and Aubrey had a hard time figuring how someone so sweet can transform into something so sour without a perfect reason for it. It was too much to think about.

                          [Where are you? –Aub]

12:23 am.

‘I shouldn’t care. I shouldn’t. I know I shouldn’t care.’ But what kind of person would he be if he didn’t care? That was nowhere near his personality traits. He grew up taught that no matter how bad people treat, don't stoop down to their level. Be the bigger person.

                           [The least you could do is pick up your phone and let me know you’re okay. –Aub]

1:42 am.

This was his attempt to cleaning something that didn't need to be cleaned. Anything rather than sitting would be good.

3:14 am

He wiped his eyes dry. He just couldn’t do it anymore; he needed to sleep. Hopefully all of his worrying would pay off. He slipped into slumber mode, stretched out on the couch.

Kenneth and Kitziah spent a lot of together, not worrying about the outside world. Now it was very early in the morning and they had been in each other's presence ever since.

"I love you so much, but I have to leave," Kitziah said as she read the clock 3:15 am. She started to feel nervous because she knew Aubrey would question her whereabouts.

"Please, just stay this one night."

"Kenneth, you know I can't" Kitziah said, slipping into her heels as she sat at the edge of the hotel bed.

"Kitz just one night, please" He repeated. "I wanna wake up to you in the morning." He kissed her neck, one hand on the sheets they just explore each other bodies on and the other on Kitziah's shoulder. Each kiss made her give in just a little bit more. He didn't stop until she was completely one over. She let Kenneth have his way with her because she knew a moment like this will never come again.

One of the best night ever for Kenneth and Kitziah had just occurred. It was now 4:27am and kitz was feeling a little bit guilty for staying the whole night. Kenneth on the other hand was knocked out, she put him to bed. Kitziah checked her phone, to see if Aubrey even cared. To her surprise she had 33 miss calls and 3 text messages. She always thought he never cared; ever since he quit his acting career, she thought he did that because he didn't care. Little did she know that Aubrey is still very much in love her? Kenneth had blinded her from seeing this.

Kitziah quickly text back with a simple: [I'm fine.]

4:27 am.

After Aubrey was long gone in his sleep, she decided to text back.

[I’m fine. –Kitz.]

8:53 am.

Kitziah made her way in the house. After she shut the front door, she jumped seeing Aubrey’s eyes open while he yawned. He sat up straight and stared at her. She was tired of him looking at her and was about to continue to walk away.

“Kitziah,” he called in a raspy tone. “Come here.”

“Yeah?” she answered, cleared of all fear and nervousness. 

“You didn't come home yesterday, didn't even call me and all you have to say is yeah? That’s really all? I waited up for you not knowing where on Earth you were. You were too selfish and prissy to pick up the phone and let your husband know where you were? Would you care to inform me of that?”

“I had a lot on my mental. I just needed to be alone. It’s early, Aubrey. Can we just go and get some sleep? I'm sorry.”

“No, you're not sorry. And we," he emphasized,  pointing to her and himself with his index finger, "would have gotten some sleep if you would have come home last night like you were supposed to...like any normal person would. Why is it okay for you to do something like this? Granted it was me, all my shit would be burned up right now. Who do you think you are?”

“Just stop your bitchin' okay? It was my fault but I'm here now so just shut up."

“Where were you?”

"At a hotel."

"At a hotel, why? Your home isn't comfortable?"

She sighed in annoyance. "Because I needed to, Aubrey."

"Why can't you just tell me where you went and why you went there?"

"I stayed at the most expensive hotel in town. I needed time to myself."

"Oh so you had to go and spend a thousand dollars at a hotel when you could have come home?"

"It wasn't a thousand, actually."

"Oh so you think this is a joke? What you just put me through is really unacceptable, Kitziah Marie Ellis."

"So what are you going to do? It's nine a.m, babe...just too early for this."

"You're not going to work?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Why?" she repeated. "You don't want me here?"

"Do what you want to do. I'm not arguing with you anymore."

"You're so annoying."

"Okay," he said walking passed, slightly pushing her a little to the side to head to the bedroom for sleep.

"I see you cleaned. I should destroy everything you've done, asshole."

He swung around in her face and yelled, "EXCUSE ME? AND I'M THE ANNOYING ONE? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

"Don't scream at me like you're going to hit me. You won't."

"I REST my case. Good-bye!"

"Aubrey, please. I'm sorry." She put her head down and rubbed her forehead. She had to realize that she was giving him a hard time and he had every right to be upset.

"Oh you're sorry, huh?" he chuckled.

"Yes. Can we please... can we just please sleep?"

"I am going to sleep, Kitziah. I'm tired."

"Okay..." she said following him up the stairs. He slowly walked up the steps, her just tip-toeing. He honestly just wanted to lie down and sleep. Once they got into the room, Aubrey went straight to the bed and Kitziah began removing her light jacket. She let her hair out of the pony tail and sat her bag down on the emerald glass table.

Then she climbed into the bed with him. He was lying on his side facing the wall. That's how he always slept; not that he was purposely not trying to look at her 

Her body became comfortable within a few moments. That's when she reached her hand over his rib cage. Not wanting to be touched, he dissociated her soft hand from off his side. And it was placed there again.

"Stop touching me," he cautioned removing her hand for the final time.

She rolled over on her back and gazed at the ceiling. Now she was feeling more guilty. More desperate for him to let it go. Obviously it wasn't happening then. What he wasn't getting was why couldn't she accept the fact the she did wrong and had to face the consequences of it?

After a modicum of mysterious minutes terminated, she got up from the bed and trailed over to his side. Of course his eyes were closed but there was nothing covering his body except for his clothes. She loved watching him sleep like he liked watching her sleep. Both displayed cuteness.

Although he might have felt a shadow of some sort above him, he hadn't opened his eyes. She leaned down letting an arm slide down his back and kissed his lips, slow and sensual. His eyes shot open like a Jack in the box.

"Come on now," He sassed. "Don't do that."

"I don't understand you right now ..."

"What is there not to understand? Don't touch me. I'm trying to rest."

"No but why won't you touch me? I'm not sexy to you anymore?"

"Kitz, just go. Honestly."

"Answer me." She stroked his arm.

He let out no other words. He closed his eyes and hoped that she'd go. Eventually she did after she kissed his cheek and said, "I love you, baby. Even if you're a little upset."

"Great," he said with sarcasm. He had no more distractions after closing his eyes for the second time.

Kenneth made it home at 9 am after he kissed Kitziah goodbye. He came out of his car, to see Onika's car still in the Drive. He sighed, switching on his phone. Not at all shocked to see 5missed calls and 2 text messages.

The first was at 1:12

[Baby, I hate when we argue. Come to bed.]

The second was at 3:20 Onika cursing him out about where he was and he should not come home. Kenneth sighed once again before opening the door. As soon as he stepped inside the door he saw Onika sitting at the top of the staircase. She just stared at him and he could tell she had been crying. Her face was red and so were her eyes. She hadn't slept. He had forgotten that they had been together for 7years. Onika could never get to bed without talking to him first or without him right by her side.

"Where is Heaven?" Kenneth asked still staring in to her eyes.

"At Shana's. I took her there last night"

Kenneth and Onika became silent again. Kenneth didn't know what to say.

"So you gonna tell me where you were and why your phone was off?" She started tearing up, she didn't want to believe this but it had been on her mind for awhile.

Is he cheating?

"I went to a hotel."

"Why?"

"BECAUSE YOU PUT ME ON THE COUCH" He yelled frustrated at the silence between them.

"Aye, don't you dare yell at me, okay?! You left me by myself!" She raised her voice a little.

"Okay I'm sorry Nika, I am"

"Kenneth this can't happen again, I'm your wife, you can’t leave me" Onika began to cry hysterically. "You can't" She repeated over and over again. Kenneth ran up the stairs and hugged and kissed her. He rubbed her back until she stopped crying.

"I love you Onika, you're my Barbie."

"And you're my Ken. I love you"

For the first time in a month he kissed her lips. She missed his lips; she deepened the kiss as they made their way to the bedroom. She longed for this moment. Kenneth didn't want to disrespect Nika by having sex with her less than 24 hours after Kitziah. So once they reached the room she spoke.

"Can we just sleep in?" she asked; he nodded. "Hold me and don't let go" They faced each other, staring into each other’s eyes in silence until they fell asleep.

Kitziah and Kenneth are very good people. They just fell in love twice. If you fall in love with two people, you pick the second. If you really loved the first person, you wouldn't have fallen for the other. 

Please excuse the delay of this chapter I (Esther) delete my half of the chapter so I had write again. :(

Thank you @TMAngel_ for being soo patient with me... Love you girl

Oh COMMENT PLEASE!!!!!!
