Christmas Day

Anéyah
___________

7:45am|

I curse a few choices of bad words underneath my breath as I lay out the decoration and set out the dinning room table for our incoming guests.

In all the table should be able to hold twelve individuals but what's more mind baffling is that my mother rather cram us up in here like sardine inna tin can instead of relocating to dionnis house.

We would of had to sleep at his place but it shouldn't be a problem, he loves my family and he welcomes them with open arms at all times which is why I am highly annoyed by my mother sticking to her original plan to do it here at our house.

I don't mind... it's just the limited space getting to me.

And you know what made it worst?

Dionnis called this morning stating he is having a Christmas get together at his place later in the evening. More of a drinks and mingle kind of fiasco.

Tell me deh no willful?

"Ughh" I groan.

"What's wrong mummy" Lemar says softly in his sleepy hoarse voice causing me to jump out of fright.

"Hi pumpkin, I didn't know yuh was up already. You scared me" I say and open my arms to embrace him.

"I'm sorry mummy" he apologize and walk right into my arms and I hug him tightly "Merry Christmas baby boy" I state as I run my fingers through his hair that is now grown out.

He did expressed to me months ago about wanting to grow his hair back and I had no objections so I helped him with the growing process.

Lemar raise his head to look at me with a gentle smile "Merry Christmas to yuh too mummy".

"Where is nana?" He then ask and I know this was coming , he is truly a nana's boy.

"She's in the kitchen, cooking" I tell him and his arms loosen from around my waist.

"Okay... I'm going to greet her before breakfast" he explains. "Okay" I nod.

He earnestly makes a beeline to the kitchen and I go back to decorating the table.

Lately my period has been lasting up to three days max.

God am I going to be on your favourite list for the new year?

Cause it shows.

Tell me issa sign dis.

Aaliyah and lya can sleep all day if yuh let them.

It's not like they would serve any purpose in the kitchen so waking them at this time of the morning doesn't make much sense.

Let them sleep.

Lemar returns to the dining room "what can I do to help?" He asks not looking up from the table as if he's admiring the colour coordination.

I refuse to let him do anything especially at this hour on a Christmas Day.

"Go brush your teeth and come back down for breakfast. It's okay I don't need help with anything I'm almost done here" I assure him and he nods before taking off into the direction of the stairs.

Jennifer has been up since four a.m.

If it's one thing in this house, lunch will always be  prepared on time.

Come like she fraid her bed, just watch her in there being a busy bee.

I doubt Eric knows she is not bed.

The man could sleep like the dead, he can sleep through anything.

"Mummy wah mek yuh stay suh?" I ask teasingly.

She removes the ham from the oven and rest it gently on the countertop next to the microwave.

"Stay how?" She asks as she continue cooking without looking in my direction.

But wait !

The pies must be burnt by now.

I completely forgot about them.

"Mummy how yuh no remind me about the pie dem" I state as I rush over to the oven to check on them.

I pull the oven door open and look inside to find the pies in great shape.

Oh thank god.

Jennifer scoffs.

Look how I would have been labeled 'bad chef' today and not bad in a good way.

And Miss Jennifer scoffing at me like she did all the work.

The lasagna, scallop and macaroni pie are removed from the oven at the same time. Now I can focus on making cinnamon candied sweet potatoes and the creamy corn casserole.

Mommy insisted on making Parmesan roosted breadfruits like she doesn't plan on cook again after today.

This is too much food.

The game console turns on letting me know that Lemar is back downstairs. I turn making my way over to the microwave and remove the foam plate from inside and take it to Lemar.

Yes we use foam plates on different occasions.

Who is about to wash all of those dishes after everyone is finished eating?

Surely not me.

"Thanks mum" Lemar says when I hand him his breakfast and chocolate tea.

Christmas breakfast is no different from the dinner in terms of 'quantity'.

Since I love fruits and I truly believe in eating healthy I incorporated that philosophy when making breakfast this morning. We're having diced fruits such as pineapples, strawberries, blueberries, bananas and cantaloupes served to the side of blueberry waffles and muffins I made from scratch, scrambled eggs, turkey bacons, sausages, fry plantains and toast bread.

Yes we love plantains.

Lemar paused the game and push the controller aside before he started to eat.

He knows when to stop playing games and do what needs to be done without me having to tell him.

Just as I was about to head back to the kitchen, sounds of heavy footsteps can be heard coming from the stairs. I step out into their line of sight to see lya taking the last step. "Couldn't wake me up anéyah" she says in displeasure.

She continue walking until she's just an arm reach away from me and that's when I decided to answer her "there is no fun in that, all yuh gone do is talk our heads off while we cook" I state and make my way back to the kitchen with her right on my heel.

Lya hiss and sit on a stool "Good morning Aunty" she greets her with a smile.

Mommy turns around and greet her just the same "Good morning hun" she replies to lya.

"Aunty yuh know me just ask you're daughter why she no wake me and yuh know what she said?" She ask my mother and I lean back on the counter with my arms fold waiting to hear what antics she's coming with this morning.

Jennifer pause "Mm... no, what she said?" Mommy ask.

Lya looks at me then roll her eyes before saying "She say me nah serve no purpose by waking up so early and that I would just come downstairs to chat both of y'all heads off" she answered saying.

Mommy turn back around almost immediately taking a glance at me and walking over to the sink half filled with dishes while struggling to hold in her laughter.

Me on the other hand I don't care, I burst out laughing after seeing my mother's reaction. Lya turns to my mother and pout "yuh see aunty?" She whines.

That's when my mother couldn't hold it together anymore, she too roared with laughter as she leans over on the sink for support.

"Gyul lya, I cannot take on the two of yuh. It's always something when the both of yuh are together" she says with a light chuckle.

"Anyways since yuh want to help out in the kitchen come wash these dishes for me dey" mommy makes a suggestion to Lya and she hops off the stool with determination.

I began to slap my hands "what a way yuh helpful today" I tease while Jennifer turns her back to us and continue cooking.

"Go suck yuh-" Lya begins to mouth so that my mother doesn't hear her and I cut her off before she could finish.

"Say it ley mi box yuh inna yuh rass mouth" I say out loud and Jennifer whips her head in one swift motion to look me dead in the eyes. Her eyes turned into a glare just as fast as they landed on me.

"But mommy..." jennifer cuts me off.

"Mi no wan hear another word from the two of unuh. The quicker we're done the quicker we can rest up for later, capiche?" She says firmly in a tone that leaves no room for complaints.

"Okay" lya says.

"Understand" I reply.

Lya can be such a child sometimes.

Only joke me a mek with har and she quick take offense to it.

Too touchy feely man, Cho!

Shit...

I forgot to tell mommy Fiftie would be joining us for dinner.

"Um, mummy" I say to gain her attention but what she says next shuts me up completely.

"Wah me just say? Yuh know too old to get a thump eno" she scolds and I refute the idea of speaking.

Oh well, she can't blame me when he shows up unannounced.

10:59am|

The guard calls to let me know that the decorator has arrived. Time really flies when you have somewhere to be and it just so happens she came just as I stepped out the shower leaving me with no time to get dried or dressed.

I open the front door to my house since I told Ms. B to come up to the house around eleven thirty to supervise the decorator until she's finished.

Ms. Bernadette wanted to stay back for the proposal but I had to change her mind some way, somehow.

Anéyah would think that I've been keeping Ms. B locked up for the holidays instead of allowing her to spend it with her family.

I might be irrational like she outrightly expressed out of frustration the other day but one thing I'm not is heartless to women.

The door swings open and her eyes immediately falls upon my muscular exposed chest that's littered with droplets of water from showering.

"Good morning" I greet in disapproval and she must of been in a trance or something because my words fell on deaf ears.

Her assistant speaks up "good morning sir, I am Erica's assistant, I would like to apologize for her lack of professionalism. I swear she doesn't do this often" .

"Aahh..." I open the door wider for him to step instead with the equipments and pulling his boss in along with him.

She blinks a few times after feeling him tugging against her clothes. "Umm... good morning dionnis... I-I mean sir" she rambles over her words.

I ignore her and head straight upstairs to get ready to go over to my woman's place.

If I haven't met anéyah, maybe I would of considered giving Ms. E the attention she seeks just like the others before anéyah that lusted over me but now their presence is merely irrelevant and is only recognizable when dealing with professionally and that lady downstairs is no professional.

One's fantasy of another individual shouldn't blindside you from achieving your goal or task you have set out to accomplish.

Distraction is a sign of weakness.

Weakness is only the stepping stone to failure and Ms. E will not excel in life if she allows her affection for someone else especially one that paid for hire to overcome her senses.

What's her name again?

I think it was something that begins with an 'E' but I just can't remember it.

Was it Erin?

Well whatever it is, it's not like I was the one that gave birth to her so remembering her name isn't necessary.

After I have entered my bedroom I got dressed in the clothing I picked out before taking a shower.

Moments later my phone began to ring so I walk around the very large bed and pick it up from the nightstand.

"Good morning D, I'm downstairs and your guests were so kind as to let me inside" my mother says and my blood boils instantly.

Suppose a somebody come fi kill me and them idiots downstairs opened the door without my consent?

It's really true when they say Americans acts as if they're entitled cause how unuh bright suh?

Jah jah.

"Good morning I will be down shortly mother" I respond between gritted teeth.

Fiftie should be getting ready by now, Dré offered for him to stay at his place but no him wan catch up under man like me a geh breast suck.

For a man that walks around everyday with a tough exterior, he's really a pussyhole on the inside.

How him fu fraid to see him own oman.

They haven't spoke to each other since she has moved back to Miami but this breakup situation they have going on is only fooling whoever it could.

I know Fiftie and I know he is not giving up on Aaliyah. He says he will compromise to her demands and honestly that sounds like the words of a grown ass man that knows what he wants.

It's just sad that it took her going overseas for him to open his eyes and see what he truly has by his side.

The saying goes 'you don't miss the water until the well runs dry' and in his case he is severely in drought both mentally and sexually.

I chuckle lightly to myself.

Ms. Bernadette should be downstairs by now, my mother should have a bit more company until I get down and besides she would enjoy bossing the decorators around when it comes to the perfect scenery in the house.

She loves anéyah, she would want everything to exceed her expectations even though anéyah has no clue whatsoever about what is to come later on today.

Yes I'm nervous but in a good way. My doubts of her rejecting me has long escaped my mind.

The doubts I had of her not loving me as much as I love her seemed to have dissipate after I did some intensive rethinking. I arrived to the conclusion that there is no way I can continue doubting anéyah.

The fact that she is risking her life to protect mine says it all.

I finish by spraying my favorite perfume sauvage all over my body and doing a double check of my outfit before heading downstairs.

"I love the design you came up with, this looks to be very alluring and beautiful she will love it" I heard Francesca complimenting the decorators as I descend the stairs.

Why is it I can hear her from here when they should be decorating the area closest to the outside patio.

I make my way to the direction of the noise which is also in the same direction of the outside patio that leads to the pool.

My mother sits on a nearby chair that I am sure she put there to monitor them.

I shake my head at her predictably antics.

"Hi mother" I say before placing a kiss on her forehead.

She glares at me "bwoy move yuh nuh see yuh a mess up mi makeup" she says and grab her handbag rummaging through it looking for something.

She then pulls out a small mirror that can fit in the center of my palm and looks at her appearance.

"Yuh lucky seh it no smug eno" she scolds and I chuckle at her little mean expression.

"Relax... even without makeup you're still a stunning woman" I beam down at her and remove the iPad from her lap to see what she was praising about.

The layout is actually commendable, I hope she likes it to say the least.

"Amazing right?" My mother ask after studying my features for awhile.

I turn my gaze away from the iPad to address her and rest the electronic on the table nearby.

"Yes it is" I reply and Fiftie comes out to join us.

"Bwoy I was just about to go leave yuh rass here" I express and he kiss his teeth.

"Mi fi frighten? Di amount a trans inna yuh garage mi must touchdown" he responds and I couldn't help but laugh.

For a man that was well reserved, I am proud of myself for opening up and allowing certain people to get close to me and Fiftie is one of them.

Despite being blood related, he is the realest man I ever came across.

The decorators started with the arch where the 'Will you marry me' sign would be placed. I must say everything is coming along good so far.

"Let's go people" I usher them through the door and my mother whines.

"Stay home then" I state and she quickly hastens her steps with her lips sealed.

"Ms. B make sure our quests leave after they're finished" I command and she nods with a response "of course Mr Millar".

******

We pull up in Anéyah's driveway meeting three vehicles already parked there and I recognize all three of them, diondré, kenrick and antwaun is already here.

Francesca and Fiftie leaves the car and head towards the house. Few moments later the door opens and a stunning figure stretches her arms open wide to greet my mother in a hug and the person just so happens to be my lovely future wife.

I smile at the mother daughter bond they both share and a warm feeling spreads throughout my body covering my heart in its wake.

She embraces Fiftie afterwards and stand in the doorway looking at me with a hint of impatience.

She's gonna curse when I get out of the jeep.

I close the box that contains the engagement ring and secure it inside of the glove compartment for later.

I step out of the jeep locking it behind me while I approach her.

She struggles to keep a straight face but the closer I get the more excited her face appears.

When I stop infront of her, my eyes instinctively gaze of over her body taking in her outfit which is a long fitted dress that hugs her every curve.

My hands glide over her hips and squeeze hold of her ass cheeks. Her eyes open wide and she quickly look over her shoulder to see if anyone is behind her.

Anéyah should know that I don't care if anyone sees us because we're not fucking in public.

She turns her head back around and I lean down to capture her lips in a kiss. She melts right into me as a soft moan escapes her mouth.

My dick rise poking her in the stomach, she jumps back and look down at the tent in my pants.

"Calm down" she whispers and turn on her heels— walking back to the room filled with guests.

I groan and fix my growing erection so no one can recognize it.

I enter the living room and everyone was already seated around the table. Anéyah saved a seat for me between herself and Lemar.

Anéyah
__________

At first dinner started off a little tense... well let me say awkward.

Mommy and Aaliyah was a little surprised to see Fiftie at dinner but eventually mommy warmed up to the idea of having him since Aaliyah didn't seemed uncomfortable.

Since both Aaliyah and Fiftie were seated face to face on opposite sides of the table; they kept making eyes contact but liyah is the only one that would turn her face away with a shy expression while Fiftie sits there studying her features or is he admiring her? I don't know but the way he looks at her even a blind man can see that he's madly in love with her.

Mrs. Millar said grace and we all started eating afterwards. Everyone was caught up in their own conversations; Mommy, Eric and Francesca are speaking in low voices to each other while Antwaun and dré are having their own conversations. Same for Briana and Aaliyah along with kenrick , Fiftie and dionnis.

Lemar and I sat quietly eating our food until he decided to break it by asking me a question.

He leans back in his seat so he can make eye contact with me because of dionnis big body structure "will dionnis adopt me mummy?" He asks in a hush tone and dionnis head turns to us slightly but he doesn't act as if he's listening since he is still saying something to Fiftie.

"I don't know baby, I guess we will just wait and see" I reply in a whisper. "But I don't think your dad will take that lightly, you know that you're his heartbeat" I add.

Lemar scoffs "he sure doesn't act like it" he says melancholy.

"If dionnis adopts yuh he will have all parental rights and control over yuh. Are yuh sure that's what yuh want?" I inquire and he nods eagerly with his little eyes glossy as if he's about to cry.

Damn you Leshawn.

'You have really hurt my baby boy so badly that he doesn't want to consider you as a father anymore' I say to myself .

I smile and nod at Lemar "okay".

He sits up properly in his seat and continue eating. Dionnis rests his hand on my leg and squeeze it firmly. "See how yuh a suck out the turkey bone, a suh mi wan mi buddy suck off later" he whispers in my ear and my pussy automatically starts pulsating.

I love it when he says naughty words to me.

I knew he was bold but.... Damn at a family gathering?

My bottom lip slowly slides between my teeth as dionnis runs his fingers over the mount flesh of my pussy alluringly.

I want to tell him to stop but I'm afraid my voice will betray me and attract the others attention.

Since he wants to play I will show him just how bad I can be, two can play this game.

I run my hand up his leg until it glides over the crutch of his pants. I did it a few times until I feel his dick growing harder then I pull his zipper down.

His head whips in my direction faster than lightning speed but he doesn't say or do anything to stop me, he just looks at me with anticipation, he's dumbfounded maybe?

I was never this bold before.

To avoid eye contact, I take a slice of rum cake and place it in my mouth with my free hand while I reach into dionnis pants with the other hand and freed his dick from his boxer.

At this time his eyes pierce through me with eagerness like a sharp needle. I continue to ignore him and give his dick a few light strokes.

His shaft oozes with pre-cum giving me the natural lubricant I needed to deliver an undeniable amount of pleasure to dionnis.

"Anéyahhhh!!" Dionnis growls at me in a hush tone.

"Stop" he says between gritted teeth while he tries to remove my hand from gripping his dick.

The others began excusing themselves from the dining room table and make their way to the living room. Dionnis and I stood up after he had finished fixing his pant back to normal.

"You're going to pay for this later, I can assure you" he states and walk out infront of me.

I roll my eyes and continue walking behind of him.

We socialized and just like that two hours have passed by.

Lya insisted that I changed my outfit into something more elegant looking because she booked for a photographer to come over to dionnis house to take Christmas photos to add to her wedding photo collage for the reception.

Now we're on our way to Dionnis' house for the other half of the holiday gathering.

Lemar wanted to go along with Dionnis and mommy complained that I was taking too long so everyone except catalya has left already.

I can't lie I am lowkey excited to take holiday photos with my whole family. I don't consider anyone around me as a friend, they're my family.

That's just how I feel.

"I'm a bit excited" I admit happily.

Lya squeals "me too!!".
