“Oh…” I looked at my plate and he groaned. “Bruh, here…”
Half of his sub ended up on my plate before he lifted and left the living room, returning with another sandwich.
“What’s that?”
“Turkey and cheese. I knew the minute you saw my shit you were gonna want it, so I got you one.”
“Thank you.” I leaned his way and kissed his cheek before I unwrapped the half he gave me and took a massive bite. It wasmade exactly how I liked it: mayo, mustard, salt and pepper with extra oil and vinegar, which had me grinning. “I love you.”
“You love me or you love that I know your ass enough to think ahead?”
“Both.”
He chuckled and grabbed the remote. “I love your aggy ass too; now eat so I can lay up while I rub on your booty and kick it to my lil shorty in there.”
Suleem leaned over and kissed my stomach before he unwrapped half of his sub and took his first bite. The most simple things landed in the most profound ways. This man was my world. He loved protectively, unapologetically, and hard. I couldn’t wait for our daughter to be loved by him too because I knew what that love felt like.
The End
