FINAL SNEAK PEEK-BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME
“Hello?” I answer the phone that was vibrating in my pocket.
“Finally!” Chris whines in my ear. “I’ve been calling you. How was the check up? And why are you out of breath?” She pesters.
I feel Darold’s arm snake around my waist and a kiss at my neck behind me. I try to pat his arms off me and silently tell him to stop but he’s not trying to hear that right now.
“Hmm?” I squeak into the phone.
“You sound funny,” Des comments, I guess I’m on speaker.
“Nope! I’m good,” I promise. DC’s hands start to move again, and I feel his teeth graze my ear. I think my eyes are crossing.
“Did we interrupt something?” Char sounds like she’s grinning. “What are you doing right now, Mary?”
“Nothing much…” I try to sound nonchalant and bite my lip to keep sound from escaping when DC’s hands travel south. I cover the phone with my palm and try to swat at my husband’s curious fingers. “Dude, stop it. They’ve got me on speaker!”
He freezes for a second and then smiles lazily at me over my shoulder.
“Did you just call me ‘dude’, Mary?” His face screams cocky. “I knew it’s slip out eventually.” He laughs. “Now hang up the phone, babe. I wanna make love to my wife.” He kisses me slowly still holding me from behind, and I forget about my phone for a second.
A moan slips out before I can curb it and I hear squeals from my lap. My eyes spring open and I look down to realize I dropped my phone. Which means they can probably hear everything. I snatch it up in hopes of doing damage control and ending the embarrassment with dignity.
“Y’all nasty!” Des yells. “You going for triplets?!” She cackles.
“Ew, I didn’t need to hear that!” Arlene whines.
“I could’ve gone the rest of my life without knowing that much about you guys’ sex life.” Chris mutters.
She thinks that’s bad. Imagine how I feel, I see everything. Every last second. Whether I want to or not.
“Leave the poor woman alone, you already got her knocked up a couple times over!” Char laughs.
DC’s chest rises and falls with his laughter, and my face is covered by one of my hands to smother the blush that’s probably not even visible anyway.
“Hi ladies!” DC greets with a big smile, leaning his chin on my shoulder.
“Heyyyy!” My girls answer in unison.
“Hey bro.” Arlene sounds unhappy about having overheard us.
“The baby appointment went great, can I make love to my wife now?” He asks them.
“Good to hear,” Des answers. “We’ll go ‘head and let our girl make up for the lost time spent celibate. Put it down, DC. Knock the walls out!”
“Will do!” He responds while I die of embarrassment all over again shaking my head.
He hangs up the phone for me and snatches it from my hand before tossing it to the coffee table.
“Now that we’re finally free of interruptions…” That lazy smile is back. “Com’ere.”
A squeal rips from me as he pulls me to lay down underneath him on the sofa without warning. He has way too much fun getting me to make that noise when he does things unexpectantly.
But we can worry about that later. Much later.
