CHAPTER 108
CHAPTER 108
"Okay. Mommy." The little girl hugged both of her parents, then jumped down from the bed, and out of our room.
The moment Melissa was out of sight, I let out a sigh, propelling myself to my feet but before I could take another step, J'onn trapped me against him, his arms encircling my waist as if he owns me.
"You seem upset with me."
"Provide me with a reason I shouldn't be."
"It doesn't make sense that you'd be upset. She didn't see us naked."
I rolled my eyes. "So easy for you to say because you had on your briefs."
"No babe, that's not it. I am sure we would have gotten around it anyway."
"Yeah, very easy for you to say because Melissa would not ask her questions to you."
"I never did anything wrong, babe, stop trying to get mad at me. I had my briefs on after I tucked you in. I know that we would have figured something out no matter what happened. I know that I would have come back for you."
"Want to bathe with me?"
"Quit filling my head full of thoughts," I glared at him, pretending to be mad. "Morning shower sex wouldn't be so bad, my love."
"I hate you," I grumbled, gazing up at his eyes with nothing more than desire. He grinned, "Let's find out how much you hate me after I get through with you."
J'onn picked me up in a bridal carry and walked into the adjoining bathroom.
Just as I had forewarned, we were in the bathroom for far too long and before I know it, once we finished, I headed straight to my closet to prepare myself for work as J'onn headed out to get a change of clothes from the car.
"You're beautiful," he grumbled, moving towards me, not even able to glance away from me. I was getting ready wearing a black dress that accentuated my good figure.
I tried to conceal my blush. "Don't lie."
"I'm not. He did approach me and then glanced at my stomach. "And what are you thinking in your head?" I asked him.
"I'm eager for you to show."
"Why?" I asked, smiling.
"I just can't wait to see that side of you. I know you are going to be even more beautiful."
"I hope so too," I grumbled, grateful that I had a lot of support with this pregnancy.
"I wanted to give you a ride to work but Melissa got to you first before I could offer."
"Let her have it for now before I start drawing lines."
J'onn laughed, "What lines?"
"Female daughters will enjoy this close bond with their father. They will keep you wrapped around their little fingers, never remembering that there was once a woman in your life before they were born."
"Jealous much?"
I shook my head. "No, I'm not. I am merely claiming my territory."
J'onn chuckled. "You are still my Queen, my priority number one. I love you and Melissa special ways."
Before I could say another thing, J'onn had his lips matched against mine, pulling me into a really long kiss. He broke away at last and kissed my forehead too.
"I hope you are not too battered. We have hardly been able to restrain our hands from each other since I got here. I don't want to tire you," J'onn's face was filled with so much concern as he spoke.
"I am, but positively. There's no need to feel guilty about anything."
"Do you think we'd still have a chance to get to the Doctor today?"
"I'll call her on my way to work if she can see us this afternoon. I'll let you know what happens."
J'onn nodded.
"I need to give you something."
"What?" I asked immediately.
J'onn stuck his hand in his pocket and produced his wallet. He opened it and took out his black card.
"I want you to take this."
"Why?"
"In case you need to spend money on something."
I nodded my head.
"Why?"
"It's your money."
"Yes, it's my money and because it's my money, you are entitled to it too."
I was about to say something when he cut me off. "You've done all of this on your own for the past five years and as much as I would like to turn that around, the reality is I can't but I won't be negligent in making it up to you from here on out."
I glanced at the card he was holding for a moment, then at J'onn's face.
"You took care of yourself and our daughter for Five years. Let me help you pay you back."
"Please!" J'onn implored when he was not responded to.
"If you don't want it then you should provide me with your banking information so that I can deposit some money into your account."
"You know I can get your information even if I don't ask you?"
"Sure, reminds me of how much I hate you."
J'onn smiled. "I love you more."
I shrugged. "There's a dinner party tonight, I might actually splurge and get myself a dress. Thank you." I grasped the card from his hand.
"A dinner party?"
"Yes."
"Why aren't you cool about it?" I asked, playing the innocent card. "Who's having the dinner party? Is it work-related?"
"No."
"Whose party?"
"My best friend, Tiffany. Her boyfriend's birthday."
"Will Christopher be there?"
"I have no idea."
"I don't want him anywhere near you."
"Really, J'onn?!"
"I trust you but I don't trust him."
"Yeah, just like how you are best buddies with Bessie behind my back."
"Heyyyyy." He wrapped his palms around my face. "You've become even more lovely that I resent it when any guy looks at you. Sorry if I scared you but just as you said before, I'm only trying to mark my territory."
"You are looking at my lips."
He smiled, "What are you doing?"
"Yeah, I'm going to be at work for eight hours minimum so close fuck up and kiss me because you're going to miss me."
J'onn did as he was instructed, pressing his lips against mine.
"Ewwwwwww! Gross!" We heard that very clear voice laughing.
J'onn pushed away from the kiss, "I remember closing that door. When did she even enter?"
"It's true what they say you never do have privacy when you have children." I chuckled, "You have no idea."
The concept of the future house crossed J'onn's mind. He never gives her money, talks about his sis with a dream house
