Omg this is dedicated to itz_anji for making my new cover she's so talented guys😭😭😭

Paul woke up early and left a note saying he went to work and has back to back meetings so I called Tia to come to visit me.

I showered and got dressed.

I heard the loud hooter and knew it was her so I opened the gate for her.

"bitch why the hell are you wearing a cap in your house"

"Hello to you too"

"whatever " she laughed and hugged me as we walked in the house and she sat on the chair while I sat on the counter.

"wow, so your hubby's house is amazing wait why did he buy such a huge house when he lived alone..."

"because he knew it was only a matter of time before he got married "I shrugged

"I can't believe this...Paul never got over you too"

"He did for a while he has a 5-year-old girl"

"What" her small eyes got so big I couldn't help but laugh

"Yea but the mother is gone and the baby is "

"She's  what "

"Sick t she has cancer "

"Nooo"

"Yeah it's really hard to process all this information "

"Wow"

"One moment I was alone and bored now I'm married, to my ex, I have a daughter who I can't help and a baby on the way"

"Omg what did you just say, who's the baby daddy"

"Hahaha very funny " then I rolled my eyes as she laughed.

"I'm very happy for you "she stood up and hugged me.

"Oh, that night of passion hmmm.....was so passionate you forgot the condom " I threw chips at her.

"Stop being a witch," I said to her

"I'm  sorry about the accident I wanted to come but Paul said you'll be home soon and I can visit you when you're home"

"Really"

"He didn't want anyone near you I forgave him because he loves you ".

"He's weird sometimes".

"And how do you feel about everything ."

"Like of all the men I'm happy it's him I love him and never stopped but I'm scared I keep feeling this is too good to be true like something wrong might happen ".

"Stop overthinking we all go through shit and we just find a way to deal with it"

"Awww you're so smart ".

"You deserve to be happy you know "

"Thanks again for everything Tia"

"You know I have your back "

"Thank you"

I told her about the office incident and she couldn't stop laughing.

We spoke a lot more while I made her food I needed this day with her,  I even forgot about the Gallery tomorrow night was the exhibition and I have to be there just need to remind Paul.

After a while, she left and I locked all the doors and decided to take a nap...

I got woken up by someone tickling my feet the only person who can be that annoying is Paul fucken Marks I opened one eye...

"Paul if I get up from this bed you better run for your fucken life I was having an amazing dream urgh"

"Sleepyhead"

"Blame your baby "

And he smiled kissed my cheek and went to shower...he got me my cheesy fries and I ate them smiling.

"You're  forgiven only because of these fries "

I told him about the exhibition and he said there's no way he would miss it....around 10 pm we went to bed and I passed out immediately.

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

On the day of the exhibition I was nervous I've been taking pictures for myself and a few clients... but now I'm sharing what's been hidden in me with the world. It's weird but exciting I got out of bed and Paul was gone as usual so I showered and had breakfast.

I looked for clothes to wear thank God my tummy isn't showing yet and some clothes can still fit, after getting the perfect outfit I took a nap I swear this baby is sucking all my energy...

Got woken up by the same damn tickles from Paul.... he told me to get ready and I did I was happy he came I thought he wouldn't be able to come I need to start believing in him.

"What are you wearing under that blazer" from nowhere I hear him say.

"blazer dress".

"yes, that"..... I unbuttoned it and showed him my black lingerie.....

He looked like he wanted to have me right there but we couldn't we had to go or ill be late for my own exhibition.

"Melody you're not fair".

I buttoned it and finished with my makeup.

"you will be with me why are you stressing though ".

"I Dont like men looking at you".

"ok, that's good to know....can we go ".

"do you have your ring on".

"We really need to talk about your jealousy".

He came near me and did that thing with his lips and tongue on my neck making me hot...fuck I need to get away before I rip all these clothes off...

"Paul noooo"

I ran from him took my bag and waited outside for him he came and he drove us to the venue...it was packed there were so many cars I was ready to run( joking)...but it's time I grew up.

We finally got a nice parking space that was reserved for us...Paul got out and opened the door for me and we walked in...

I was in awe....the Gallery was huge Miss Melai sure has good taste everything was so beautiful and I saw the first picture, I can't describe how that felt like....when you have this dream about where you want to be in life then suddenly live that dream that feeling is out of this world and I cannot believe I'm here even when my parents said this was a stupid dream and it wouldn't amount to anything...

We walked around and I spotted Miss Meali who kissed my cheek and I introduced her to Paul...

After talking to Mis Melai, Justine was here telling me she's proud of me...

My naked pic was there and Paul gave me a look, I shrugged he is the one that gave her those pictures...

"One million for the picture," some old man said looking at my naked ass

"1.5 million " some other guy...

I saw Paul get upset

"Please Dont  be like that Paul, you're the one that put the picture in the portfolio"

"I think it was an accident I would never "

"Shhh" I kissed him and he kept quite...

"What the hell is he going to do with your ass picture by the way, "he said

I laughed...

"I wish I knew paul" he wrapped his hands around my waist and kissed my neck...

"Not here please"

"Maybe I should buy the picture"

"No babe we can't waste money remember Leah"

"That's why I married you "

"Yeah sure"

Tia came in with Freddie and she was loud always laughing and clapping saying "that's my girl" my friend is crazy.....My mom and dad came who invited them?

The old man with grey hair bought the picture it's weird making money from this who would have thought....after making millions and smiling with 1000000 people I was tired and hungry and they were serving rabbit food I'm allergic to them them them healthy food I swear..no offense.

Angela and Jason were here too...who invited all these people here? Miss Melai led me to a nice table where I had to sit so I answer questions from the Media.

"Today we welcome MrsMarks her work speaks for her"

Paul held my hand tightly and we sat at the table ready for journalists...

I answered all their questions and wasn't nervous at all, it helps that I'm hilarious they kept laughing my parents looked at me funny but I didn't care it was my moment and I enjoyed it.

When I was done with their questions I had the last thing to say.

"I just wanted to say that never give up on your dreams and whoever thinks your dream is insignificant is not even worth being listened to, and all it takes is one person to believe in you as much you believe in yourself I'd like to thank God for this gift ....thank you Mis Melai for having faith in me, my crazy friend Tia for always buying cameras for me even if they broke (said that looking at my dad and he looked away) lastly my husband for supporting me and loving me .thank you guys for the support".

There was a round of applause...I made my way to Miss Melai while Paul spoke to Freddie.

Melai introduced me to a lot of people once more...I was tired my feet were killing me, this baby was hungry and when he's hungry all hell breaks loose...

Paul said he's proud of me together with Tia, Freddie, and Miss Rosie...thank God I managed to avoid my parents.

I couldn't have wine so I drank juice and when we were done, we said our goodbyes and left I couldn't wait to get home...My husband knows me too much so he went to a drive-through and got me cheese fries and steak and his burger, we got home and enjoyed our food.

After that nice meal we showered separately and got in bed ..he kissed my cheek and we both passed out...

Today was an amazing day......
