Throughout the next month, she tried to avoid Eris like the plague, but every time she ran into him she couldn't avoid the heat that traveled through her body.
"Wassuh Nani?", Eris asks as she watered her plants in the garden
Dallas was gone just like he was every day doing God knows what with her father.
"Hello Eris", Nani smiles
They have talked quite a few times throughout the month, and every time left butterflies fluttering in her stomach. The conversations varied from favorite colors to favorite books to even personal information. She loved having conversations with him and hearing the way his voice deepened when talking about something he was passionate about.
"I love what your doing with your hair. Your mane is your crown and should resemble one", he shrugs gently touching her Afro
She decided to take a break from flat irons despite what her father said. She did not care how unlady like a untamed Afro looked. She loved hers, and since she was no longer living with him she could wear it. That didn't stop Dallas from telling her how much he disliked it though.
"Thank you", she blushed looking down at her dirty pants
"Here let me help you up", He says holding a hand out for her
She takes it and gasps at the heat she felt travel between them.
"Hey you okay? Your shaking...", He says smirking at her blush
"Yeah. It is just kinda chilly", She says stepping back from him
"It's summer baby girl", He says laughing
"Silly me.", She says laughing softly with him
The familiar sound of gravel crunching under a car alerts her of Dallas' car pulling into the little driveway.
"Looks like your husband is home.", Eris smirks bending down to press his lips to her cheek
"I'll see you tomorrow Nani. Oh and don't change your hair. It's absolutely beautiful.", He says mischievously
His eyes told her that he said it loud on purpose so that Dallas could hear his compliment.
She couldn't do anything but gawk at him and the place he had once been.
"Hey honey.", Dallas says kissing her cheek, opposite of the one Eris did.
She was disgusted at the fact that her body reacted so positively to Eris, but reeled at the thought of Dallas kissing her again. He was her husband for God's sake.
"Nice of you to grace me with your presence", She says walking past him back into the house
"Uhm yeah", he says pulling her to him
