It was a beautiful Saturday morning and I was by the kitchen stove making rolled omelettes while humming a song whose title I couldn’t remember. “Good morning, Mr. Walkers.” Lana who was standing a few feet away from me and assisted me in making breakfast suddenly said. I glanced behind my shoulder to see Aziel standing at the doorway of the kitchen with Aurora in his hands. I lowered the heat of the stove and wiped my hands clean with a rag before walking towards Aziel. “Good morning baby.” I said to my precious daughter who immediately began to giggle at the sight of me. She looked so excited to see me, flailing her arms up for me to carry her and I was even more excited to see her ‘cause she had been asleep when I woke that morning. I tickled her belly slightly and gave her a kiss on her cute button nose. I glanced up at Aziel, noticing that he had walked out of the shower only a moment before coming down to the kitchen because his hair was still wet. His expression was blank an
“Of course not. What do you think I am, crazy?” I said to Athena, my younger sister in Spanish. It was a Sunday and I was in the living room of Aziel’s house on a video call with my sister. I’d been there for a few hours ‘cause I’d talked to all my family including my older brother, Julio who had tried to cross the border with me but couldn’t make it. I had spoken to my mom and her sister’s children as well as my aunts and abuela. It wasn’t often that I got to speak to all of them at once ‘cause they were rarely in the same place at the same time but that day happened to be the fourth anniversary of my abuelo’s death so everyone had to come together. “Your skin looks really white and perfect. Your hair looks shiny and perfect. Life there must have been as easy as they say it is. I’m really jealous.” She said in Spanish, sighing at the end of her statement. I almost scoffed at the part she said life must have been easy for me. If only she knew that for the past six years that I’d been
I twirled around, doing a 360 in front of Aziel. “How do I look?” I asked him. I was wearing a double-strapped short black dress with a very low neckline that exposed my chest and little front boobs. My black purse and heels matched my dress and my long natural curly hair was straightened flat to my back, almost touching my butt. My makeup was on fleek and I could say I looked breathtaking. His eyes went over my face leisurely, down to my body before snapping back to my face. He gave a single nod. “Adequate.” I scowled at him. “It took me almost three hours to achieve this look and that is all you have to say?” “Yes.” He deadpanned. “Whatever. I don’t care.” I said before walking over to the Mercedes parked in the garage. I was a bit upset that he didn’t have any other thing to say about my looks beyond that one word. I mean did he even notice that I had to use heat on my hair just because of him, I could have fried my hair if I hadn’t been careful. Why did he say I looked beaut
“Is something the matter, Mr. Walkers?” A man whom the others address as Mr. Storms said. If I’d been told that Aziel Walker could ever lose his cool I would have told the person that they didn’t know whom they were talking about. He picked up his wine glass with the other hand and took an uneasy sip. I bit down on my lip to hide my smile and then slowly started to use his hand to rub myself. I was staring at his side profile but he didn’t dare look at me. He pulled his hand out of my hold from under my dress and picked up his wine glasses again to take another sip. “What could ever be the matter, Mr. Storms.” He said confidently as he regained his composure. The men seemed to dismiss Aziel’s weird behavior and carried on with their conversation.Sometime along the way when no one at the table was watching us, Aziel glanced at me for the first time since I touched myself with his hand. To anyone else watching him, they would have thought his expression remained the same but I kne
“Let’s go take care of that.” Aziel’s words echoed in my head and I started to think that maybe he was finally going to have sex with me. Maybe he had finally decided to forget about the contract and follow what his body wants, what our bodies want. The moment we stepped into Aziel's room, his lips crashed down on mine. He kicked the door close with his foot and in an instant, my feet were no longer touching the ground. Aziel hoisted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist not minding that my dress had ridden up to my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his smooth palm moved up my bare thigh to my waist. As he continued to kiss me, one hand went to the back of my dress to pull down the zipper. His lips were soft, hot, and moist and I couldn't get enough of him. I thought even if I swallowed him whole, it still wouldn't be enough. Both hands palmed my bare ass and squeezed hard before slapping my butt cheek making me squeal. I fisted his hair in my hand, opening my m
It was a Monday morning and I was in the living room feeding my six-month-old daughter when Aziel walked in. “Morning.” He greeted. “Good morning. There’s coffee in the machine if you want some.” He nodded before walking off to the kitchen. When he got back to the living room, Aurora flailed her arms at him telling him to pick her up. Aziel dropped his coffee cup on the coffee table and took Aurora from my hands. “Morning, princess.” He greeted her with a smile, kissing her cheeks and she cackled in his arms. I’d realized a few months ago that she was a dad’s girl. I mean the only time she’d want me to carry her was when she was hungry and after eating, she’d want to go to Aziel immediately. “I can’t believe I carried her for nine months and when through a series of emotions only for her to like you more than she likes me. That girl only sees me as a feeding person.” I feigned annoyance. Aziel chuckled. “That isn’t true Red.” He sat on a couch and settled our daughter in his thig
It was my first day of college and although it was a really exhausting day for me since I had classes all day, I was still so excited to talk to Aurora about my first day of school after seven years. I wanted to tell her about how vast the school was and how large the lecture halls were. How easy it was to get lost even if you had the map with you. How difficult it was for me to tell where the halls for each of my classes were. How nice it felt to be addressed as a student by the professor. I wanted to tell her everything I saw and everyone I met that day because only she had my time and would listen to me without complaining. Aziel would have probably thought me clumsy if I’d told him I bumped into a guy when I was running to my next class or if I’d told him I took the wrong bus home and found myself in an unknown vicinity. He wouldn’t have been able to understand my excitement if I had told him how huge and beautiful I thought the school to be. He’s been rich all his life so huge bu
Many months passed by and it was finally my twenty second birthday. I woke up that morning, extremely excited about my birthday. I’d received loads of wishes at midnight from my college friends, Theo and Alex. And although I appreciated that they all remembered my birthday but the one person I wanted to remember my birthday didn’t seem to remember. It had been that way for my twenty first birthday too, Aziel had forgotten about my birthday too. Theo had been the one to tell Aziel on the night of my birthday that it was my birthday. And although he had apologized then and got me a car the next day as a gift, I couldn’t help but think the same was going to happen that day. As I walked out of my room to the living room, I realized that Aziel had left for work. I frown appeared on my face as I realized that he had forgotten it was my birthday again. He didn’t think to wish me before he left or even send me a birthday message if he was running late. I shook my head and patted my cheeks w
