Juwon placed his hand on Gini's lower back as they walked out of the mall. He felt that little buzz he always felt when they touched and did his best to ignore it. She was angry again, he could easily tell from how rigid her back was. His friends were coming and she didn't want them in the house. She'd said they could come earlier but her demeanor said differently.

He currently had two problems. He was concerned about Gini's reaction to his friends visit. The solution was to meet them somewhere else, that was easy. The difficult problem was his permanent hard on, it was literally a huge problem. His dick had taken control of his brain. A part of him knew they couldn't have sex. Gini hated his guts and every time she stared at him, he had a feeling that she was imagining making him bleed. The larger part just wanted to bend her over a table and do things to her body.

Gini herself wasn't helping matters. She'd casually just been exposing her breasts when he walked out of the shower this morning. Everything the cold shower had done for him had completely gone to waste. Then she'd worn a bra to the mall, a fucking bra.

"J, are you okay?" Gini asked when they got into the car.

"Yea, sure," he said automatically.

They were going home. Home, where they stayed clear of each other. He was probably going to hole up in the living room downstairs while she was going to be pretending to be busy upstairs. Juwon stole a peek at Gini and saw her looking out of the window. Her breasts rose and fell as she breathed and he looked back at the road. How come he didn't know from her body that she had kids? He'd seen stretch marks here and there but those were usual for women.

"Did you breastfeed?"

Gini turned to look at him. "What?"

"I was just curious about your pregnancy."

"I didn't breastfeed. My breasts weren't producing milk for a child let alone three kids."

"What did you do?"

"I was a little bit concerned at first, then the doctor said it was normal for some women so we gave the kids formula."

"That must have been very emotional."

"The whole process was emotional, from the day they were conceived to the delivery stage. I was fifteen by my third trimester but I was still too young to bear all the responsibilities that came with it. Thank God Mama was there helping and supporting."

"I honestly didn't know you were going through so much. I wish I was there to help and support."

"You couldn't have known. We were both struggling anyway, you with your dad's death and addiction, me with family issues and teenage pregnancy."

"I'm so glad you opened up to me." He took one of her hands and kissed it.

Gini was usually closed off, especially towards him. She just wanted to contain everything, he didn't exactly know the reason for it. Today was the first time she'd ever talked about the pregnancy. He was yet to know why she left town abruptly, he'd asked and had gotten no explanation.

They got home and he walked behind her to the door. Gini went up the stairs and he went to the living room after taking off his shoes. He stretched on the sofa and watched TV. If someone were to ask him what he was watching, he wouldn't be able to answer. Gini had been upstairs for almost half an hour. He didn't know what she was up to and was curious to find out. He climbed the stairs and saw Gini biting her nails as she stayed in bed. He went to the closet and acted like he came in to change his clothes.

"I'm going outside to enjoy the sun, do you want to come?" he asked as he changed into a softer top. "The pool is warm," he added desperately as he watched her consider.

"If you don't mind."

He hated that they were now so awkward with each other. "I don't mind but you don't have to if you don't want to."

He left the room before she could respond. Juwon rubbed his neck as he went to the kitchen. He got the tequila in the cabinet and picked some chocolates, coconut flakes and avocado from the fridge. He looked at the staircase as he walked to the door. If she wanted to hang out with him, she'd be downstairs by now. Juwon felt sad as he looked at the pool while sitting under the shade alone. He snacked on the coconut flakes and looked towards the house. As the sun went down, his eyelids began to close.

Juwon woke up to the sound of splashing and saw Gini in the pool. She waved and smiled when he sat upright and he smiled back. She finally came down to join him, he was more than happy. He took the coconut flakes to her and she climbed out of the pool.

"I thought you weren't coming."

"I was looking for a swim suit."

"For hours?" He got her a towel as she dripped.

"Thanks. You were asleep when I came and that's why you think I took hours."

He shut his mouth and nodded then said, "I'm glad you came."

"You're drinking," she said as she eyed the bottle of alcohol while she took the seat beside him.

"Not yet. I started with the coconut flakes and I'm yet to get to the alcohol."

"Hmm. I'll start for you then." Juwon smiled and joined Gini on her chair. He could have remained in his seat but he wanted to be near her. "No glass?"

"Ah. I must have forgotten."

Gini opened the bottle and took a swing, she passed it to him and he did the same. He watched her snack on the chocolate and felt like he was looking at the cutest thing ever. Her hair was black and slightly curly and he didn't know when he ran his fingers through it.

"You're beautiful, birdie."

Gini looked at him and smiled then continued with the sweet. Juwon returned to his seat and stared at Gini while she stared at the sky. His life was sad and he couldn't continue to just stare at her hoping they got back the connection they used to have.

He stood when the sky got darker. "Heading in, you?"

"Wait for me."

Juwon got the alcohol and the remainder of the flakes and Gini got the avocado.

"Gini, I'll be going out with my friends tomorrow. I don't want you to be uncomfortable in your own home so they won't be coming here anymore."

"They can come, it's not a big deal," she said as they walked to the house.

"I know it's not a big deal but them not coming here would be better for us."

"Thanks."

He opened the door and Gini brushed against him as she walked by. Her towel was slipping off her waist and he stopped himself from helping her position it well. They got to the kitchen and he started feeling awkward when Gini looked at him.

"Did I do something wrong?" he asked anxiously.

Gini walked towards him and his eyebrows shut to his hairline as he saw the gleam in her eyes. When her fingers rubbed him through his short, he knew he had to say something.

"Gini, you don't want this," he tried his best to warn her as she kept rubbing him.

Her answer was to kiss him. He shut his eyes tightly to stop himself from enjoying the feel of her palm against his bulge but he lost it when her tongue probed his lips opened. He kissed her back and his fingers loosened the bikini strap on both her back and the sides of her waist. Gini rubbed his chest as they merged tongues together and he helped her with his top. She separated her lips from his and kissed his neck, then nipples. He moaned her name when she freed his dick from his short and got on her knees. Juwon knew he had to stop her then. She hadn't drank much but she still wasn't herself, he didn't want her hating him the following morning for what was about to happen.

"Birdie, we can't," he managed to say before her mouth wrapped around his tip.

Gini was on a mission and it was in his best interest to assist her as much as he could. He touched her head as she took his whole length in her mouth. Gini pumped him with both hands after her mouth left him moist and dripping with her saliva. He was on the verge of pumping his seeds in her hands when she took him again in her mouth. She suctioned him as his dick hit the roof of her mouth. He came in her mouth when she rubbed his balls.

Gini stood and licked his nipples. "Choke me," she demanded.

"Yea, baby," he said and wrapped his arm around her neck.

Gini closed her eyes and he kissed her thoroughly before moving his lips to her boobs. She rubbed his head and moaned as he licked and lapped on the tiny buds. He moved his lips when she pushed his head down. He gave her the same pleasure she'd given him. When her legs started to shake as she reached the peak, he lifted her to the counter top and used his shoulders to support her limbs then continued.

Gini arched her back and moaned as she finally found release. He went back to choking her as he slid his length into her entrance. She dragged his face to hers as he slid in and out of her. Juwon tightened his hand on her neck a little and he watched with pride as Gini moaned out his name. The more his ego grew, the harder her got. He turned her around and Gini arched her back for him. He wanted to say how much he loved her but he knew that was likely to ruin the mood. He slapped her ass cheek then rubbed her back as he pushed it slightly to get the best arch out of her.

He helped her up when they came together. Juwon wet the serviette on the counter and cleaned the cum trailing down her leg.

"We need to get you to the bathroom."

"Okay," she purred.

He picked their clothes off the floor and carried Gini up the stairs. He helped her get to the bathroom and watched her clean up under the shower. He washed himself when she left the bathroom. Afterwards, he got under the covers naked and switched off the light. He dragged Gini closer for a cuddle and she pushed him away.

"It was just sex, we don't have to cuddle." She shifted to her side and pulled the duvet over her head.

The rejection stung because it was so unexpected. He was just screwing her brains out moments ago and now she couldn't stand him. She'd simply used him for the sex, he'd only been a means to couple orgasms.

Just fucking great, he concluded.
