Err'thang About Ya ✔️

46. Love, Love, Love (continued)

Love, love, love kissing you
And I love, love, love being with you
Wanta spoil you and please you
Spend every moment of my day thinkin' of you
Every night when we're together,
Just can't imagine being without you.
Love, love, love, you're the only one that I love
Love, love, love, tonight and every night you're my only one

Kitty was stuffed. The meal was great and even though she was against having a chef cook for her, at least they had one of the best. She did not think transitioning to vegan while pregnant would be easy for her. She loved cheese and eggs and did not know how to make foods that were not cheese-laden, but Marcello knew everything. She was not going to tell Icee he was right about getting the help.

Icee leads Kitty upstairs to their bathroom where Deanna had run a warm bath for Kitty.

"Aww Icee, you did all of this?"

"Yeah, baby. And I remembered to not put in any bath salt or bubbles so it doesn't fuck up the Ph balance down there and shit."

"You're so sweet!" She kissed him.

He helped her get undressed and helped her in the tub.

"You going to join me?"

"Naw I don't want to cramp you or-"

"Sweetie, there is plenty of room. Come on."

She didn't have to ask him twice. He stripped and got in the oversized tub with Kitty, positioning himself behind her. He grabbed her bath sponge and poured her favorite scented body soap over it.

"You good?" He asked, rubbing the sponge softly over her back then shoulders.

"Yes," she said, laying her head back on his chest. "Thanks for spoiling me."

"This ain't spoiling you lil ma," he said, continuing to wash her body over. "This is just taking care of you. That's what I'm here for. We're in this together."

"You want to come with me to the next mall walkthrough in two weeks. They are behind schedule and I think they think because I'm a woman, they can just brush me off. They picked the wrong woman to fuck with."

"Aw babe, you got this. You don't need me to handle them, I know you got it. Like you said, that's your baby. But if you want me to come see it, I will. I'll let you handle the business though."

She nodded. He was right about that. She had to handle it on her own.

"Stop thinking about work. Think about soon our lil man will be here."

"I can't wait. I really want this time to go faster...on one hand," she said, rubbing her belly. "Then on another, this is special. Having him all to myself right now."

"I know. I'm jealous. You get to bond with him, and I just...I'm just here."

"You bond with him Icee. You talk to him, he hears your voice. And you sing to him. I'm sure he hears your loudmouth," she said with a giggle. "Maybe he'll come out singing."

"Or rapping."

She felt relaxed and not all stressed, being in the bath with Icee holding her and bathing her. She never thought having a baby would be easy, she just was not mentally prepared to have one until she found out she was pregnant. Between all the work, planning the wedding, building the house and the mall, and then being a newlywed...being pregnant in the midst of it was overwhelming. She was glad Icee was being understanding.

"Do you know how much I love you, Icee?"

"Hmm, about as much as I love you," he said kissing her neck.
