Janet2 weeks later

Kyrin walked into the house with only her purse and her phone for once. Here lately, she's brought work home more than a little bit and it usually distracts her half the time.

She glanced at me and I didn't speak. We hadn't spoke since I cancelled one of our dates last week. It was the third in a row that had gotten cancelled and Kyrin threw a childish fit. Even though she had cancelled the two dates before that.

"Come on here, we need to talk." She told me as she looked around in search of something. "Where's Bubba?"

I pointed upstairs as I stood from my couch. "In his room with Tiff. Come on, we can go in the dining room."

We walked into the dining room and sat at opposite sides of the table. It was silent for a few before she sighed. "I missed you."

"Really?" I asked in sarcasm. "Interesting saying that you were the one who was upset."

Kyrin inhaled sharply. "See, I try to be nice..:"

"You don't have to be nice." I fired back. "Trust me, I can handle it."

My girlfriends nostrils flared signaling that I was pissing her off. "Janet, alright. I'm just going to go because I didn't come to argue. How about you let me know when you wanna talk."

When she got up, I mumbled. "Go ahead and walk away and ignore me again. You seem to be a pro at that these days."

She stopped her movements as she looked at me. "You've been busy."

"So have you."

"I'm trying here."

"And I'm not?" I asked her with a face.

Kyrin smacked her lips before exclaiming. "I didn't say that."

"I'm just not understanding what you expect out of this conversation." I replied truthfully because I wasn't giving out easily.

"Why the hell are you so damn stubborn?" Her face was straight, telling me that she was getting irritated with this.

I shrugged. "The same reason you blow up on people and then ignore them for two days."

"You have shitty ass days back to back and let it affect you, and what do I do? I shut the hell up and wait until my girlfriend wants to be a damn girlfriend again. Yet, I have a shitty day and what happens? The biggest damn argument we've had since the first time we've met."

"What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to—." She took a pause before continuing more softly. "J, I just want you to work with me here. How long has it been since we've called each other baby? How long has it been since we've actually said I love you? Babygirl's gone. Princess is out the window. Baby? Haven't heard it. Janet, we slipping up and I'll be damned if I let you walk away from us. This," She motioned around us and then between us. "What we have, it isn't something that I'm willing to let go of. So we need to do whatever it takes to fix this. What do you need from me?"

"Just make time for me, Ky. That's it. We've both been busy. I get that. I understand that. It's going to happen, and I'm sorry that I cancelled but something came up and you just blew it way out of proportion. I mean you cancelled the two dates before that, even after we promised each other to clear our schedules for that weekend."

"I had an emergency meeting J, I can't control that shit."

I rolled my eyes. "I didn't say you couldn't Kyrin."

"Girl roll your eyes at me one more time and watch what happens." She challenged me.

Standing, I sent her a look. "I'll wait on it."

Kyrin ran a hand through her curls as she stood as well. "I swear to God, I literally try with you and it's like talking to a brick wall sometimes. Seriously, what more can I fucking do?"

"I don't know... maybe apologize like I did when I was in the wrong." I suggested sarcastically.

My girlfriend huffed. Our emotions were running high, so it really didn't hurt me when she said, "Janet, if you called that an apology then you smoking crack. I wish I would apologize for how I felt."

"Kyrin, too be honest, you're full of shit and that didn't even make sense."

"Okay... You two need to stop." Another females voice joined our disagreement.

Our heads turned and we came face to face with Tiff and Eissa. I sighed as I spoke to him seeing that he was upset. "Sorry prince. Butterfly and I were just talking, what's up?"

He fumbled with one of his play blocks in his hand before mumbling. "Ignorance."

I sat down slowly as Kyrin asked. "Huh?"

"Ignorance. That's what my teacher says this is." He spoke louder. "You two yell and argue all day. Butterfly, I never see you anymore. Mommy, you always gone. You two said I would have two mommies yet you are both gone. I don't want no one to be my mommy if you are going to do this."

My son hadn't spoken that clearly before— and it shocked the shit out of me when he did.

"Eissa—."

My son cut me off. "Get over it! Talk! Hug! Write each other love notes! Do something! Shit!" He threw his block at the wall of our dining room as he turned and stomped away.

Tiffany chuckled as my eyes widened. "Well, that's tea folks. I agree with little man. Get it together. A damn child just read you two to filth. Periodt. Eissa said Ignorance." She turned to walk away and yelled. "Eissa! Let's go get some ice cream man! You did that!"

Kyrin and I looked at each other for a moment before I shook my head after hearing the front door close from Tiff and Eissa leaving. "We are affecting Eissa."

She sighed. "Yeah... we are." My girlfriend took a pause before continuing. "Look baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to overreact. I was just looking forward to seeing you and you cancelled and it really sucked. I didn't put myself in your shoes though, and that's my bad. I've cancelled twice and just took it lightly. I never really considered how it made you feel. That's on me. I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too baby. I just miss you and I don't like when we don't talk. We both are just busy and on new schedules and we have to adjust. I'm trying, I am. I just don't like this. Not with us. This isn't us, at all. I'm not going anywhere, you don't even have to worry about that. I love you. That'll never change."

She looked up at me as she stood up and walked over to me. She straddled my lap in the chair as we kissed. When she pulled back, she nodded. "I love you too baby. Okay, so I'm free this weekend but from now on, we at least give each other our Sunday's."

I frowned. "Chic Fil A is closed on Sundays though."

"Baby, that's really what you're worried about?" Kyrin chuckled at me.

"Hell yes. I love Chic Fil A." I mumbled back. "But, as long as we are spending time together, then I'm in completely."

"Completely?" She asked lowly as her eyes trailed to my lips and she bit into her own. That look was all it took for the waterfall to rush over my body and end between my legs.

Nodding slowly, she didn't let me respond verbally because her hand slipped behind my head as our lips met. We kissed slowly as her tongue slipped into my mouth and I sucked on it. She moaned as she began to grind against me before pulling back and getting up. She held her hand out and I took it gladly. Kyrin led the way up the stairs, my gaze staying solely on her ass as she did. We were making our way to my bedroom and each step had me even more anxious than the one before it.

It had been a long 2 and a half weeks and pleasing myself was nothing compared to the real thing. It lacked intimacy and the sensual feel of it all. I was yearning, and the hunger that crept up inside of me only made me more eager than before. My girlfriend turned around when we made it to my room. "You and I have some serious making up to do, and I'm not leaving this house without a limp. So give me your best, Superstar."

I smirked as I watched her take off her blouse, bra and jeans. "Oh, babygirl, I always give my best. I just hope you can keep up."

"I always keep up, mama." She sat down on my bed in only her panties as she smirked back at me. "What you got?"

My eyes darkened and I couldn't hold it anymore. I pinned my girlfriend down on the bed as I straddled her lap and attacked her lips. Strawberry was about to get her way. Taking my lips from hers, I ran my tongue up her neck before I began sucking on her soft spot mercilessly.

"Mm. Baby, no hickey's." She moaned out lowly.

Pulling away slightly, I noticed that she was too late. "Use your makeup."

She groaned in response but quickly sat up some when I crawled from on top of her. I began to strip slowly in front of her, making sure my hips rolled slightly as I did. "I got us something."

Kyrin licked her lips before asking. "You did? What'd you get us baby?" I smirked to myself as I bent down and pulled a box from under my bed. When she saw the strap that I pulled out the bed, she asked me. "Who you think you putting that in?"

"My girlfriend. Who else?" I asked her.

For once, I saw a glimpse of uncertainty pass through her eyes before she replied. "You better use that on one of your other little girlfriends."

I pretended to think before replying. "I don't think they'll be game for it."

She straight faced me. "Don't play with me, Janet Damita Jo Jackson."

Chuckling at her using my whole name, I kissed her. "Jokes baby. You know you're my only one."

"Better be." She mumbled lowly as she collided our lips together again. Her attempts to try to gain control again was obvious, but as I put the strap on and laid between her legs, she quickly realized that she was losing this battle tonight.
