Chapter 31 #2
Even though I had just left Pressure’s not long ago, we got on the phone and started choppin’ it up about some business shit.
With me not bein’ able to go to my other shop right now, I knew I needed to start poppin’ up at the ones that was still movin’ and makin’ sure my name stayed attached to every dollar comin’ in.
My personal clients, the ones I gave direct access to me, was still hittin’ my line askin’ me when I could work on their cars.
Niggas knew I had trial comin’ up but was still tryna pull on me like I was Prime and could deliver in two days.
Pressure was talkin’, and I was listenin’, but at the same time I was watchin’ the bathroom door ‘cause Toni had been in there a minute, and I already knew what that meant. That woman wasn’t takin’ no long shower ‘cause she felt like relaxin’. Nah…She was preparin’.
I wanted this baby with Toni more than anything, but I ain’t gon’ lie, the pregnancy unlocked a whole new level of her that I was not ready for.
The bathroom door finally opened, and Toni came walkin’ out naked like she owned the world.
Water was still on her skin, smellin’ good as hell.
Her body was soft but full, her belly round and pretty, and she ain’t even look at me like we was finna cuddle.
She looked at me like I was finna get put to work.
“Yeah, this week I’mma start movin’ around,” I said to Pressure, tryna keep my voice normal even though my whole attention span had just got snatched.
Toni walked over and stood between my legs like she was claimin’ her spot, then she leaned down and put my face right between her titties like she was tryna mute me.
Pressure paused. “Nigga, I can’t hear you. You sound like you mumblin’.”
“I said I’mma hit you back,” I told him, already knowin’ my night was over.
Before he could say somethin’ else, I hung up. Toni ain’t even wait for the phone to leave my hand before she was rubbin’ on my chest and kissin’ my neck like she had been starvin’ all day and I was her plate.
I tried to play cool, like I had control, so I rubbed her waist and hips, kissed her stomach.
“We goin’ to bed.”
I blinked. “Why I gotta go to bed? I’m not no kid.”
Toni’s eyes narrowed, and I already knew I needed to stop talkin’. I smirked like I was still big dog, but in my head, I was already acceptin’ my fate, ‘cause when Toni got like this, it wasn’t no conversation. It was a schedule.
Eventually I got in bed with her, and she was already tuggin’ at my damn drawers. “I’on even know why you wore these,” she said.
“What you mean?” I asked, even though I knew exactly what she meant.
“I mean you don’t need to wear nothin’ to bed, ‘Lo.”
I licked my lips and let her do what she wanted, but I ain’t gon’ lie, layin’ here while she handled me like I was her lil’ situation had me feelin’ some type of way. When I covered my face with both hands, she busted out laughin’ like I was entertainin’ her.
“‘Lo, you act like I’m treatin’ you like…”
“A bitch?” I finished, raisin’ my eyebrows.
Toni laughed harder. “Stop. You so dramatic.”
I stared at her like I wanted to argue, but the truth was, I ain’t even have time to feel no type of way, ‘cause Toni was already climbin’ on top of me like she had somewhere to be.
She ain’t ease into nothin’. She didn’t take her time.
She was on go the second she got where she wanted to be, and I had to bite my lip and put my head back ‘cause Toni was not playin’ with me tonight.
When I looked up at her, she had that look in her eyes that was real vulnerable and real hungry at the same time, like she needed this dick, like it was the only thing in the world that made her feel like herself right now.
Her hands was pressed on my chest, and she was movin’ with purpose, breathin’ all shaky with her eyes half closed.
“Damn,” I groaned, grippin’ her waist as she started soakin’ me up like she been thinkin’ about this all day.
“Baby…” she said in that weak tone that always used to make me feel like I was the one in control.
Now it was just her warnin’ me.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, reachin’ up to cup her titties tryna keep her grounded even though she was already floatin’.
“I’m about to cum,” she grunted, sittin’ down harder and puttin’ all her weight into it like she was tryna take my soul out my body.
I blinked up at her. “You for real?”
“Yesss,” she cried, and then she started movin’ even faster, like she had to prove it to me.
I ain’t gon’ lie, my pride was a lil’ offended and my body was stressed, ‘cause my dick hadn’t even been in Toni a good five minutes and she was already on ten.
This whole time we been together, even before the baby, she ain’t never came this fast, and now here she was actin’ like she was tryna break me in half.
She was ridin’ so hard her titties was bouncin’ crazy, her hair was everywhere, her face scrunched up, and I’m layin’ here like, damn, is this my wife or is this a demon?
Then I looked at her stomach and noticed the baby shiftin’ again, and that’s when my mind snapped back to reality.
I placed both hands on her belly like I could calm my child down through touch, ‘cause in my head it made sense. If Toni was actin’ possessed, then I needed to at least keep My’Love from catchin’ the worst of it.
“Toni…” I tried, keepin’ my voice calm.
She wasn’t hearin’ shit, but throwin’ her head back and goin’ crazier.
“Toni, baby…” I tried again.
“What, Kay’Lo?” she snapped, like I was botherin’ her.
“The baby, she…” I started, and I was only tryna help.
“Ugh. Just shut up and let me nut,” she cried, and I swear I never felt so disrespected and taken advantage of in my life.
I blinked, then I looked down at her belly again like, ‘you hearin’ your mama, My’Love?’
I couldn’t do nothin’ but lay here and take it, ‘cause Toni was locked in. Finally, she came down on me with that whole body shakin’, moanin’, cryin’ type release like she had been holdin’ it in for days.
I ain’t gon’ lie, I felt bad for me and My’Love, ‘cause Toni just wasn’t givin’ a damn about nobody in that moment but herself.
When she finally came down from the nut, she leaned to the side and tilted her head back like she was wore out, and I just laid there starin’ at the ceilin’ like I had just been robbed. My body was still catchin’ up, but my ego was already in the grave.
My hand stayed on her belly though, rubbin’ gentle, tryna guide the baby back toward the middle like I knew what I was doin’, ‘cause I couldn’t shake the thought of My’Love in there gettin’ tossed around while Toni was out here goin’ crazy.
Toni put her hand on the side of her stomach and sighed. “Kay’Lo, calm the hell down. She fine.”
I stared at her for a second, then gave a small nod like, ‘a’ight, you got it.’
Before I could say more, she got off me slow, strugglin’ a lil’, then rolled over with her back turned like she ain’t just used me up and threw me to the side.
All I could do was lay here, silent, feelin’ like I had just got taken advantage of in my own damn bed.
A few seconds passed, then Toni’s voice came again, softer now like she ain’t just told me to shut up.
“Kay’Lo, baby?”
“What?” I answered, still lookin’ straight ahead.
“Can you cut the light off?”
I squeezed the bridge of my nose and shook my head ‘cause this was exactly how it went now. Toni ran the whole house, and I was just livin’ in it.
I got up, cut the light off, got back in bed, and laid down, tryna get my mind right.
Then she mumbled again, like she couldn’t sleep without addin’ one more request to my night.
“Kay’Lo.”
“Yeah?”
“Can you hold me?”
I wanted to say no so bad, but my body moved on its own ‘cause this was still my wife, and I still loved her crazy ass. I rolled over and wrapped my arms around her, holdin’ her and holdin’ the belly too.
I stared into the dark and sighed to myself.
I was seein’ a whole different side to Toni.
I don’t know why I thought she would get sweeter by the time she hit her third trimester, but I was dead wrong.
She was mean and horny all the damn time, and a nigga just had to deal with it, ‘cause if I didn’t, she would probably cuss me out, cry, then call me pathetic, then ask me to rub her feet, and somehow, I’d still end up doin’ it.
Our baby was gon’ come out and already know her mama was the boss, and I was just the nigga tryna survive the ride.
