I think I'm gonna love her for the rest of my lifeI sung along with Bobby to my wife as we swayed across the room dancing together.
"Ok that's enough dancing you two" My mom said coming in the room holding Jaylani.
"No it's never enough dancing" I giggled taking my daughter from her dancing with her.
"Mommy stop!" She giggled as I kissed on her face spinning her around.
A knock came on the door, "I'll get it" I said putting Lani down & walked over opening the door.
"Hey J" Halle said smiling.
"Hey Hal you look good" I haven't seen Halle since I dropped her off over Ashlynn's but I am glad she came over to talk & check in.
"Thanks your friend has really helped me" She blushed & walked in the house.
"Where is the boys?"
"Ash is bring them after she picks them up from school"
"Ash?" I asked confused
"Hey Halle so glad to see you" My wife said walking toward us embracing Halle with a smile.
"Jess you are about to pop any day now" She rubbed Jesse's stomach.
"A few more months"
A knock came on the door & Opened it seeing Ash & Halle's two boys.
"Hey J"
"Hey Girl what you doing here?" I asked letting her & the boys in.
We walked in where everyone else was at & what happened next shocked the hell out of me.
Halle walked over & Kissed Ashlynn smack on the lips.
"What the hell!" I exclaimed shocked that they kissed
"Jo not in front of the kids" My wife said
"Mom take, Jaylani take the boys to your room please" She nodded & they headed upstairs.
"J, what is the problem?" Ash asked
"The problem is you two barely know each other & yall fucking"
"So what if we are two adults what is the problem" Halle said.
"The problem is you two just met okay & How does it look to your boys that there mom is sleeping with another woman"
"Is that how you feel about me?" My wife asked raising her eyebrow.
"Maybe we should go you just dont get it Jo, My husband died yes but at the end of the day I am grown okay & Ashlynn makes me happy more happy than I had been in months."
I sighed not wanting to argue with anybody, I just nodded my head walking away from them going outside sitting in our cabana to clear my head
They only been knowing each other for a few months & already they are fucking I dont understand.
My wife wobbled outside sitting down next to me, "What the hell is your problem Joanna!"
"They dont know each other Jesse why are you okay with this?"
"Look they are grown okay why do you care anyway?" She shrugged
Why did I care so much?
"They are my friends Jess"
"And whats this shit you said about our kids knowing your sleeping with a woman?"
"I didn't mean anything by that"
"I bet" She scoffed standing up.
"You know maybe if you would pay more attention to your family than your friends you would know that My job is relocating to New Orleans & they want me to run the department" She said then wobbled away
I exhaled wondering why she didn't tell me
