When I got back from the drugstore, Jey was asleep. It was 5:15 am. I decided that I wasn't gonna wake him up but since he was knocked out, I decided to put some ice in a bag so I can at least ice his ribs while he was asleep.

After I changed my clothes, I got in bed and gently placed the gallon sized bag on his ribs without waking him. I placed my hand on the bag just in case he thought he was going to wake up and take it off, I would know. I cuddled up to him and drifted off to sleep. Finally, I can get some rest.

"Ahh, babe." I heard in my sleep. Damn I must've fell asleep for a few minutes. "Ahh..." He hissed at the either the ice or his injured ribs.

I felt Jey move under me. I was laying on his arm because it was around me, so it was hard for him to move. I heard the bag of ice and I opened my eyes.

"Leave it." I say then pick my wrist up to look at my watch. "You have a few minutes."

"When did you do this?"

"You were knocked out when I got back. I told you you needed to ice it. I figured I'd do it while you were asleep." I put the ice pack back in its spot.

"Aight." He got comfortable again, then kissed my forehead. "You've been up all this time?"

"I've been dozing all this time." I laugh. "When I take the ice off I can go to sleep."

"What time is it?" He asks

"A little after 6."

"Okay."I close my eyes to try to go back to sleep. As soon as these little couple of minutes are up, I'm gonna be drooling.

"I'm sorry you had to see what happened. I know you were scared and didn't know what was going on."

"I'm just happy you're okay."

He kisses my forehead again. I don't say anything and I keep my eyes closed. "Hazel, I love you."

I look at him. "I love you too."

"I know I might've said it before but I'm saying it in a different way now. I'm sure of trust in telling you. I love you, and I'll do anything for you."

"You're sure of it." I repeat. "I understand what you mean. I feel the same about you, Jey. I know you love me. I just get scared because you're married and I feel like you're going to work your marriage out. That's what holds me back from really getting comfortable in this. I always have to take a step back."

"I know it's hard to believe me." He says. "I don't want you to ever feel I'd wrong you in any way. I would never do that to you. I swear I wouldn't. That's why I try to show my love with affection, and gifts. I always wanna be around you. I wanna spend as much time with you as possible, I make sure I'm open with you ... .any way I can. I am in love with you."

I see the seriousness in his face and it makes me smile. I believe I'm in love with him too but I'm trying not to get too attached until he files for divorce. But that's already happened. I would like to just let this flow naturally but naturally this is becoming serious. No, it IS serious, and I don't want to stop it. I'm getting myself into something that could potentially break me and I'm scared.

I sigh. "Josh, I'm scared of this. I know how I feel about you but I have to be real with myself. You're not mine officially."

"I'm yours."

"Someone else is legally responsible for your health and it's not me." I say. "If you went into the hospital today and it was a life or death situation, she would make the decision to save you. I wouldn't even be allowed to see you."

He sighs. "I'm working on it."

"This isn't that conversation, I know you are. I'm just letting you into my head for a second. You have me, no doubt about that but I don't have you and I'm scared about that. I'm trying to keep a level head on my shoulders but I'm so head over heels for you. Then you're telling me you're in love with me too and we can't fully live in love when we both know someone can shut it down in a split second."

"Ima handle it, babe. And I'm scared too. This is new to me as well. She's the only one I've ever been involved with." He says. "This shit goes back to high school. I never cheated on her. I never entertained another woman. Even when I was unhappy I still didn't cross that line until I met you. I beat myself up for that but like I told you, I also had conflicting feelings because I liked you a lot and I wanted to see what our connection could be. I was right about this but now I'm in a complicated situation. I'm about to literally blow my life up because I want to live a happy life and I want to do that with you. I haven't been happy in a long ass time. I'm happy with you and I ain't gonna let nobody change that. I don't think you understand how serious I am." He explains.

It's so crazy because I believe every word he's saying. I genuinely believe him. I know he's being genuine with me, but I just need him to do that with her. I don't know if he has or if he hasn't, but I think honest conversation between the two of them would be good. I feel like if they both voice their opinions and voice what they want the outcome to be, then they should be able to come to an agreement. They came to the agreement of separation and separation is the first step to divorce, so I feel like papers being filed and assets being divided up from that conversation can get the ball rolling. But that's just me. I could be wrong. Like Danielle said, we don't know what type of woman we're dealing with.

"I don't, but I hope in time you will show me. I know you have a lot on your plate right now…I just hope we get through this."

"We will, baby...come here." He pulls me in his direction.

I bring my lips to his and we kiss. He looks into my eyes and for the first time ever, I could read him. I could see right through him. He's telling the truth. I could actually see it. It made me feel calm and I really felt like everything was going to be okay. It made something inside of me shift. Something within me burned for him. It's lust at this moment. I know it is, but my feelings for him were there as well. I think he felt it too.

I went in for another kiss, this time with tongue. He slowly sat up, trying to roll on top of me. I gently pushed him back down. I knew it was a task for him with his ribs being injured. I removed the ice and threw it on the floor. My hand trailed down his torso and into his pants, gripping his growing erection, stroking it.

"Mmmm you tryna get something started?" He smiles against my lips.

I laughed and got up on my knees. I positioned myself between his legs and pulled his pajama pants and boxers off. I just looked at it. I don't even know how I take all of this dick. Correction, I don't but I damn sure try.

My mouth watered for it. I gripped his dick in my hand and stroked it a few times. A low groan escaped from his mouth as he watched. I began licking the tip of his dick.

"Mhmm baby girl..."

Hm, baby girl? That's new.

His eyes grew heavy as he licked his lips watching me run my tongue up and down his shaft.

"Ohhh shit, that's it." He says, getting into it, placing his hand on my head.

I don't know if it's because I think I'm in love with this man and I feel like this is MY dick, but that thing tasted so good. I like to see pleasure on his face from what I do to him. Every time I would move back to his balls, his hand would wrap around the back of my head to hold me there.

It felt amazing.

I put him into my mouth and started bobbing and stroking at the same time, trying to take his soul.
"Damn, Babygirl...just like that!" He moans. "That feels so fucking good baby."

I continued for a few minutes, keeping my pace, massaging his balls at the same time.

"Damn, Baby...Fuck! Keep going..." He whispers.
I watched as his chest began to rise and fall quickly, and his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he rested it on the headboard.

Both of his hands were now in my hair. His fingers lightly massaged my scalp as continued bobbing on his dick.

"I'm about to cum!" He says, "Oh Fuck! Suck it hard. Make me fucking cum, baby girl." He groaned.

I took him deeper, sucking harder and faster. I saw him shake a little bit, but not like before. The grip he had on my head got tighter as his hips thrust forward and his entire body jerked once he started shooting his load into my mouth. I happily swallowed every last bit of it.

He sat there for a second looking down at me while he caught his breath. He grabbed my face and brought me up to his and kissed me passionately. It was nothing like we had done in the past.

"How did you know what I wanted?" He asks.

"I'm your woman." I said and he smiled. "I always know what you want. Remember that."

"Noted." He kisses me again. "Sit on it." He reached behind me and tugged at my panties.

I sat up and took them completely off, throwing them on the floor. He stroked his dick watching as I climbed on top of him. I placed myself over him, we locked eyes as his dick slipped inside me. I pushed until just the head was inside me. I gasped at the feeling. I needed a second to adjust, after that, I slowly slid down gaining a moan from me. He groaned at the sensation as well. He started pushing himself into me further from underneath, sending shocks up my spine.

"You wet as fuck! I knew you would be." He smiles, gripping my hips. "You're always so wet for me. I appreciate that."

I started bouncing slowly, escaping into my own world. Jey reached under my tshirt and massaged both of my breasts.

"You belong to me?" He says, looking straight into my eyes.

"Yessssss."

"You gonna get it tatted?" He asks

"Yes, baby." I moan and bite my lip and try to close my eyes to enjoy how amazing his dick was feeling.

"Look at me!" he demands.

I open my eyes and look down at him, as he tries to push his whole dick into me.

"AHH!" I moan out in pain laced with pleasure. This man is killing me. I bounced harder. The pleasure I was receiving was overwhelming.

"Take me baby. Take all of me." He groans. I could feel myself reaching the peak.

I picked up speed, grinding against him. He watched my movements, studying me as usual. I felt his thumb start rubbing my clit. I stopped riding him and leaned down to kiss him. He didn't stop, his fingers started moving faster. The kiss was sloppy but intense.

We made out until I felt him reach for my neck and grabbed it tightly. He knows I love that. That shit arouses me more than I ever thought it would. Only Jey knows that because I didn't find this out until he did it to me.

"Fuck me harder baby." He said. Hearing those words instantly did something to me. I began feeling my orgasm coming quickly.

"Ah, baby, I'm gonna cum!" I say, sitting up, rocking on him.

"Me too." He says, then he grabbed my hips and took over. He lifted and lowered me like I weighed nothing to him. I began to lose it fast. He sped up his pace fucking me like he wasn't injured.

"I'm about to buss. I need to pull out." He says.

"No, I'm so close, babe. Hold on." I say. I looked down at him and I could feel his breathing getting heavier. He gripped my hips tighter, nails digging into my skin.

"Baby, Ima cum in you. I need to pull out." He warns, desperation in his voice.

"It's fine...it's fine, it's fine! Fuck Jey! Fuck!" I yelled, cumming hard.

"Shit!! You gonna make me...Ahh shit!! I'm cumming, baby."he whimpered as I felt him push into me harder, unloading deep into me.

We kept grinding until both of us were done cumming. I don't know what I was thinking.

I collapsed on his chest, trying to catch my breath. He was still inside of me. His hands ran up and down my sweaty back.

What the hell did I just do? Tryna get a nut, this man just came inside of me. I'm not on birth control, we didn't use a condom, nothing. We were just talking about this at the diner and now look at us.

We laid there in silence as our heartbeats slowed. I finally sat up after a few minutes. I looked down at him

"I know." He already knew what I was thinking.
He grabbed my hips, holding me in place. "What are we gonna do?"

"I can take Plan B." I say

"Is that what you want to do?"

"Yes." I answer.

"Aight..." he says. I climbed off of him and I was about to get up to go to the bathroom but he stopped me, grabbing my hand. "Babe, whatever you want we can do. If you don't want to have the baby, I'm okay with it. If you wanna keep it, I'm fine with that too. Whatever you want, I'm with you. I just want you to be happy."

I smile and lean over to kiss him. "Thank you for that."
I didn't say anything else, I just went to grab the both of us a washcloth to clean up with.

***********

Later that morning.

I was in the bathroom washing my face and Jey had just stepped out of the shower. I looked at him through the mirror and he smiled. I wonder if he was thinking about what I was thinking.

"Thank you again for taking care of me." He says, wrapping the towel around his waist.

"Stop saying it. It's all good. That's what I'm supposed to do. I just hope I get the same in return if I need it."

"You don't even have to ask." He walked up behind me and started pulling my hair up.

I laugh, "What are you doing? I'm in the middle of washing my face."

"Helping you out." He grabs a hair tie off the counter and successfully puts my hair up in a ponytail.

I just look at him with a smile on my face. He's trying. "Thank you, babe."

"See, I got you." We both laugh. After a few seconds after the laughter died down, he spoke again. "Have you given any thought about what happened earlier?"

"Baby, we just woke up. It's on my mind but no, I haven't really thought about it like that."

"Again, if you wanna keep the baby, I will be there every step of the way. I will take care of the both of you. You won't want for anything." He says

"In other words, you wanna keep the baby?"

"If it turns out you are pregnant, then yeah, but whatever you want to do." He says

I stared at him for a few seconds. He can't be serious. We've only been together for a month, and not to mention, he's still married to some woman. I don't know if bringing a baby into the world would be a good idea. But then again, I wouldn't be able to go through with ending a pregnancy.

Ugh, what did I get myself into? Let's just hope I'm not pregnant.

Jey's phone vibrates on the counter. We both look at it. "It's downstairs. God, I hope my family isn't here." He says before picking up the phone and putting it to his ear. "What's up, Tony?...Oh, really? Hold on." He looks at me. "He says your parents are here."

"My Parents? Not parent? Both of them?" I ask

He shrugs, then puts the phone back up to his ear. "Both of them?...He said yeah. Send them up?"

I nod my head yes, almost panicking. "Tell him to let them know to have a seat in the living room and I'll be right out."

I heard Jey tell him to send them up but I didn't hear anything else because I ran out of the bathroom. I ran to try to straighten up what might've been out of place. I forgot I cleaned up last night while I was waiting for Jey to come home.

I walked into our closet to find something to put on that was presentable.

"You okay?" He walks in in nothing but Gucci boxers.

"Both of my parents? Why are they here? I told my mom where I was staying and now she thinks it's okay to pop up?"

"Baby, it's okay. She can pop over here whenever she wants."

"No, it's not and she has my dad with her. GO GET DRESSED YOU'RE MEETING MY DAD!" I yell.

"And I'm happy to meet him. Baby, calm down. Relax." He says. "Is this because of the baby?"

"Joshua."I say in a warning tone.

He bursts out laughing. "I'm joking. But you do need to relax."

I heard the elevator doors open on the other side of the wall. "Go do your hair and quickly get dressed. Please! I know you're hurt but—"

He cuts me off. "My clothes are on the bed. I'm here to help you." He says calmly. "What do you need, babe?" He kisses my cheek.

"Just find something nice for me to put on while I go do my hair." I walk out and into the bathroom. I quickly take my hair out of the ponytail Jey put my hair in then put some product in my hair and brush my hair back up into a bun.

A few seconds later, Jey walks in with a dress in hand. It was one of the ones that was on the rack of clothes he got me a month back. I actually forgot all about it. I fell in love with this Chanel dress as soon as I laid eyes on it.

"This is a good pick!" I say taking the dress from him. "I'm impressed." I look at him surprised. "Give me a kiss."

He smiles. "Yeah, you can trust my fashion sense. I ain't about to have you out here looking crazy." He steps forward, places his hands on my hips and we share a kiss for a few seconds. "Plus, I wanna hike it up later."

We both laugh.

"Hurry up! I'll be out in a few minutes." He walks out.

I hurry and get dressed and head outside to my awaiting parents. They were sitting on a sofa. As soon as my dad saw me, he stood up.

"There's my baby girl!" He had a huge smile on his face.

Ugh, "Baby girl" I believe Josh called me that a few times this morning when he was fucking the life out of me.

"Don't call me that, daddy." We hug then I hug my mom and we all sit back down. I sat in a chair across from them.

"I always call you that." He says

"I know, it's time for a different name. I'm a grown woman now." I say

He rolls his eyes. "You know you'll always be my baby girl."

"Why didn't you guys tell me you were coming? We had a late night and were literally getting ready for the day." I explain

My mom looks at her watch, "It's 2 PM. Out partying all night?"

"No. You know I don't party. We just had some things going on and we were up pretty late. So what brings you by… unannounced?"

My mom leans towards my dad. "I think she's upset we're here."

"No. I'm not upset. I just didn't know you were coming." I say. "It would've been nice if you called beforehand so I would be prepared for your arrival instead of scrambling trying to do my hair and throw on clothes."

"Well, you know how your dad is…he's been patient and he has yet to meet the man you've been living with."

"That's not what I said." My dad says

My mom corrects herself, "I'm sorry, you abandoned him for." She laughs

"Daddy I didn't abandon you." I try to hold back my laughter.

"I didn't say that either." He shoots my mom an evil glare.

"Yes you did. Don't try to clean it up now that you're in front of her. He's jealous." She says

"I'm not jealous...it's just you that haven't been home in almost a month." He says.

"I'm sorry about that but—."

My mom cuts me off. "She has a new man. She needs to tend to him."

"And I need to meet the man that's taking up your time." He says

I sigh. "I don't mind all of that. I just wish you guys would've called so we can be better prepared for the visit."

"Good." my mom says. "So where is Mr. Joshua?"

"I'm right here." We hear Jey say walking around the corner. Both of my parents stand up. My dad turns to face Jey.

"Hello, Sir." Jey says. He was smiling but I could tell he was a little nervous. "I'm Josh, but everybody calls me Jey." Jey says, extending his hand. My dad shakes it with a smile on his face, but I can see that he is already painting a picture in his head about him.

My dad was obviously taller than Jey. I only say obviously because back in his day he was a basketball player and he's 6 '7. Jey is only about 6 '2. Both of their demeanors were pretty relaxed, which is a good thing because my dad can read the hell out of someone's character. I can't lie, I've been trying to hold off their meeting for a very long time. It makes me nervous because my dad knows the Fatu name and I just don't know if he knows who Josh is. If he knows who Josh is, that means he knows he's married and I don't know how I would be able to have that conversation with my father.

"It's nice to finally meet you, sir." Jey says

"Call me, Rick." My dad says watching Jey walk over to my mom and hug her.

"It's nice to see you again Mrs. Fox."

"Likewise." She says

I stand up out of my chair and let Jey sit down while I sit on the arm of the chair. My parents have a seat in the same spot.

"So what's going on? What do we owe the pleasure?" Jey asks

"I just thought it'd be nice for me to meet my daughter's new boyfriend. You guys have been together for what..?" My dad asks fishing for the answer.

"A month." Jey answers

"Hazel, baby girl, why haven't you brought him to the house?" My dad asks

"When he was there, he was able to meet mom and I really don't have a reason. I guess I was just nervous."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"So, I have a proposal." My mom cuts in. "How about we all get to know Mr. Joshua over a late lunch." She smiles

"Yeah, we can go to the country club and relax."

"Daddy, I don't want to go to the country club. You're there practically five times a week. I think it'll be okay for you to go somewhere else for a change."

My mom laughs.

"Okay, let's go to Kokkari Estiatorio." My dad suggests

I roll my eyes. "Daddy you know we're not gonna be able to get a table there. That place is booked up weeks in advance."

"And he knows that." My mom says. "He's just mad because he's not getting his way. Wherever you guys wanna go is fine. He just thinks if he picks one of the most expensive restaurants that we're all gonna change your mind and go to the country club." She explained

"Nah, it's cool. We can go to Kokkari." Jey says. "I know the owner, I'll text him now and have them clear a table for us."

"Wow! Really?" My dad smiles. "I like him already."

My parents laugh.

"Yeah, I mean, if you guys ever need reservations, a last minute table, or need tickets to something, anything, just let me know. I got you." Jey says

"49ers tickets?" My dad says

"We own two suites at Levi Stadium." Jey says, pulling out his phone.

A huge smile creeps up on my dad's face. "Hazel, marry this man!"

My mom chokes on air then clears her throat. I kinda nervously laughed it off.

"Alright. He said give him 15 minutes, which is about the time it takes for us to get there. I'll drive." Jey says

We all gather our things and head out to the garage to Jey's car.

"Wow! A Rolls-Royce Cullinan. This your car?" My dad asks.

"Yes, sir." Jey says, opening the passenger door.

"Daddy you can sit in the front with Jey, mom and I will sit in the back." my dad damn near pushes me out of the way to get into the front seat. I didn't say anything, I just laughed to myself. Jey, opened my door and I got in, sitting behind him.

The ride to the restaurant was pretty chill. They pretty much just talked about the car, the whole way there and my mom and I just sat in the back listening.

Once we got to the restaurant, Jey valeted his car and we went in. The place was packed, I guess as it usually is. The restaurant was very upscale. Of course I've never been here before but obviously my parents have.

Jey pulled out my chair and I had a seat. My dad did the same for my mom, then they sat down. Not even a minute later our waiter was there taking our drink orders.

"Get whatever you guys want, lunch is on me." Jey says.

"That's nice of you." My mom says. "Hazel I like that dress, where'd you get it?

"Josh actually got it for me. He picked it out and everything."

"Good taste." She says

"I know right! I was impressed."

"So you pick out my daughter's clothes?" My dad asks

"No, it was nothing like that." I say. "Since you guys decided to show up unannounced, I needed him to help me find something to put on while I did my hair."

"Oh." She says. "You haven't been back to work yet, what's going on with that?" She asks

"I was just talking to him about that. I've been in talks with an office here but I'm just kind of taking my time with it."

"I told her she doesn't have to go back to work. I'm more than willing to provide anything that she needs." Jey says

"So you don't want your girlfriend to work?" She asks him.

"I don't want her to have to stress about anything, and from what she tells me her job was stressful. I just want to take that stress away from her. If she wants to work, it's completely fine with me but I'm also willing to take care of her financially."

"What do you do?" My dad asks, bluntly.

"I work for my family business."

"Your last name is Fatu right?" My dad asks

Oh shit. Here we go.

Jey nods his head. "Yes."

"You guys own a few buildings. You're in real estate, right?"

Oh my gosh thank God he doesn't actually know him, he just heard of the name.

"That's one business we have. Our main business is our wrestling company. You gotta come out to a show." Jey smiles

"Oh my gosh, it's so entertaining." I cut in. "I went to one and I had so much fun."

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind attending. If my baby girl likes it, I like it." He says. "I gotta ask all the boring, overprotective, father questions like what are your intentions with my daughter, and do you plan on getting serious, blah, blah, blah." They laugh. "I mean you're off to a really good start, but I gotta ask."

"When I first met Hazel, I think I knew that she was for me right off the back, and I knew she was who I was supposed to be with for the rest of my life." Jey says and I melt.

"Yeah, how did you guys meet!" My mom asks

"I met him on the flight here." I answer. "I was actually being my forgetful self, and I left my phone in the seat while we were boarding and he caught up to me and handed it to me."

"That's sweet." My mom says. "So how did you guys start talking?"

"When he got on the plane, he sat next to me. Wouldn't let anyone else sit in the middle seat, and we talked the whole flight to San Francisco." Yes I'm purposely leaving out the whole weekend part because my dad is here and he doesn't need to know that information.

Jey side eyes me but he picks up what I'm doing.

"Yeah, we talked the whole way here." Jey said. "Honestly, we felt the connection and decided to pursue it...Being as honest as I possibly can in that situation, the more I talked to her, the more I fell in love with her."

My mom takes a sip of her wine, but she doesn't say anything, and my father raises his eyebrow. This is news to both of my parents and I did not think he was going to go there but here we are and here we go.

"So you love my daughter?" My dad asks

"I do." Jey says with a nod, displaying full confidence.

"You want to marry her?" My dad asked right away. He was quick with the questions.

"I do." Jey answers

"You guys have only been dating a month and known each other for how long?" My dad asks

"We've known each other for a couple of months now, but we've been official for a month. Like I said, I love her, I wanna take care of her and provide for her. I want to start a family with her. I mean, like I said, I think she's it for me."

"You think?"

"I'm only hesitant about our situation because it has only been a month and I know things can go south, but I believe we are solid. Of course only time will tell." Jey says with a smile, grabbing my hand.

My dad doesn't say anything, he just looks at me. "What do you think about all of this? Do you love him?"

"....Yeah." I say. "We are trying to take things slow but our feelings for each other are taking over and I believe I'm in love with him as well."

"I don't see anything wrong with this. If you guys fell in love on a 4 1/2 hour flight. Cool. I think it's beautiful and that's your story....But, I just wanna make sure she's safe and she's not falling into any shit getting involved with you." My dad says looking directly at Jey.

Oh....shit.... My mom had to have told him. My dad is about to tear up this restaurant.

Fuck!
