Joy is when you and your friend are laughing about the same things and either of you keep adding more stuffs that erupts in more laughter until you can barely breathe and your sides are aching. Its a silly goofy kind of joy especially when the topic of conversation are silly experiences or insults.

Stupidity on the other hand is when your friend is laughing at you when you try baring your heart to them but again that's how friendship works sometimes. Its stupid and goofy.

Liz stared at the screen in front of her trying to figure out what was amusing Pamela so much about the state of her marriage. Then she went into shock when Pamela spoke.

"Okay girl bye!" Liz exclaimed and was about to end the call. This girl dared call her stupid with all she was feeling right now.

"Wait, wait" Pamela shouted double times for emphasis.

"What? Since you want to be insensitive and unkind move away." Liz returned.

"Okay but it was just a question I asked though. Are you stupid? Because you have to be, to not see what's in front of you."

"I swear Pamela if you call me stupid one more time we are going to have a problem for real." With sexual frustration and her earlier pity Liz could as well funnel it all into anger since Pamela wanted to act like a kid.

"Elizabeth listen to me!" Pamela cajoled now trying to calm her down.

"No you listen, I know you had a rough day okay. Maybe we shouldn't talk right now but invalidating my fears when I bring them to you isn't fair to me." This hurt her, because it had taken guts to tell Pamela.

"Will you just listen you coconut head!" Pamela exclaimed and huffed in mock annoyance. Liz rolled her eyes already irritated.

"Liz, that man looks at you like the sun rises and sets on your forehead. He stares at you so intensely its hard to miss it, like everything about you amazes him. Do you really think its that easy to fall out of love?" Pamela asked.

Liz sighed, "I know he loves me, but its also possible to no longer want my body you know."

"Oh really! Yes I do know its possible but not that man okay, maybe right now you just can't see it and you're letting the fear from Lily cloud your mind. If you want him go after him my dear and trust me with that your thick in the right place body, you won't have to try hard." Pamela sent her a naughty grin and Liz couldn't help but chuckle.

"So between us let's think about something." Pamela suggested.

Liz buried her head in her hand for a while thinking and they where both silent for a while till suddenly she got up and ran towards their walk in closet.

Like a woman possessed she began to search frantically in the closet tossing clothes all over the floor in the section where she was.

"Liz what are you looking for?" Pamela asked and chuckled at the other woman's excitement.

"Hold on one second," Liz dumped the phone on the wood floor and continued her search till she finally found it.

Immediately the idea fell into her head, she loved it. She could name and document it.

How to make your man sexually attracted to you again.

Step one; Call Pamela

Step two; Pick a risky scandalous dress.

Liz stared at the tiny dress in her hand and chuckled evilly. Then quickly pulled off her sweats and put it on and picked back the camera.

Pamela's jaw dropped when she saw the dress. Liz light skinned brought out the color of the black dress. She finally chuckled then asked; "are you going to set up a nice dinner wearing that and waiting for him or what?"

Liz laughed now, it was her turn to laugh. "No dummy that plan is for kids. Since he likes to play games we going to play games tonight "

"Elizabeth," Pamela called. The scared expression on her face only fueled Liz the more.

"No my dear. I'm going to be wearing this dress and acting like I'm going to the mall quickly either Walmart or Target to get some groceries."

Pamela burst into another round of laughter, "girl you nasty."

"You know no sane man is going to let you leave his house like that especially in that dress." To incite her even more Liz set up the camera on her vanity so that she could do a little twirl and Pamela could see the full dress.

Pamela was even more shocked when she saw the back of the dress. "LIZ! You're going to give that man a heart attack."

"Whatever, I don't care." Liz returned and shrugged.

"Okay then seductress, temptress, man killer Elizabeth. Get ready to receive triplets tonight."

"Bye girl, I love you." Liz screamed and ended the call to Pamela's giggles.

Step three; Text him to get you food and exaggerate about how you are starving. Guilt trip him till he agrees to come home.

Step four; Take a quick shower as time may no longer be on your side since he agreed to come home.

Step five; Dress up and slay your hair.

Liz put on the dress and straightened her curly hair while adding her bony, silky straight extension to it making it into a royal pony tail that kissed her waist. She quickly curled her baby edges. For her face Liz did the nude look, it always fit her well and it was his favourite. Bolder eyes and nude lips, her brows was threaded last week so she just needed to brush them up and conceal the edges a little for the perfect blend.

Step six; Wear his favourite scent.

Few dabs of perfume on the skin of her neck and wrist and she was good to go.

Liz was still deciding whether to to pull off the heels she had on or wear flats to not make it too obvious. Before she could make up her mind she heard his car pull up into the driveway and she rushed down a tiny sling purse on her shoulder. She had barely made it to the small dining area and sat when the door was pushed open.

She tried hard not to turn her head to look at him until he came towards the dining area.

"Hey baby," she called out and got up to kiss his cheek when he dumped the food she asked for.

Step seven; Wait for his reaction but don't wait for so long.

Liz could swear her body heat up when his mismatched eyes rove over her taking in the contraption she was in.

She knew his eyes so well now to see the way they popped out of his sockets and how they darkened slightly. The blue ones looking so close to grey ones and the grey ones almost brown.

His eyes took in the length of legs on display first. The dress Liz had on stopped mid thigh.

Jason swallowed a lump of saliva first then asked, "Are we going somewhere?"

Step eight; Move forward so that he can see the back of the dress carefully.

Liz turned her back to him and moved to check the contents of the nylon he brought in and giving Jason full view access to her back.

The black dress had tiny spaghetti straps that went over her neck and crisscrossed at her back leaving the entire back of the dress bare to her waist. When she turned he finally got to see the icing on the cake. The lower part of the dress was was a little flared with a gentle A line that flew gently over her hips and stopped mid thigh. At first glance it gave a false illusion of decency until you see the slits running from mid thigh to just below her bum. With even the slightest movement upwards you could actually see her behind. In front the dress was showing a little cleavage not too much just the right amount like a teaser for more. Making the dress easy access and so scandalous at he same time.

While Liz gushed over the food Jason asked again; "Are we going somewhere babe?"

Step nine; Act innocent and ignorant and tell him your plan.

"Yea babe. I want to run to Walmart quickly we need some groceries and I need some supplies." Liz smiled inwardly when she saw the confused expression on his face.

"You're going to Walmart?" He stammered out.

"Yes babe, I'll be back soon. You took forever to get back and I should have just gone quickly but I wanted to wait a little."

Liz watched his nose flare up a little in anger and irritation as he asked again; "Elizabeth are you even putting on a bra?"

"No of course not. Bro it's a backless, strap dress I can't put on a bra with this,' Liz shrugged as if she was stating the obvious but internally she was laughing and jumping like a banshee. She knew how much angry he was going to be especially when she said 'bro'

Jason shot her a dark look and let his eyes rake over her gently.

"Elizabeth first of all, I'm not your bro. Don't ever call me your bro, you and your bro don't do things we do that will be incest. Secondly stop playing with me, just stop already and tell me where you're going."

"To Walmart!" Liz shouted now to get him even more irritated. "And aren't you supposed to be my brother, best friend, lover and all of that so why are you making a big deal out of that?"

Jason scratched his forehead and kept running his fingers over the hair on his scalp over and over. Liz knew she was getting him hot right now and that was exactly part of the plan.

"Okay babe. I'll see you later" she moved closer to him making sure her body was pressed to his body and kissed his cheeks. She watched his body go stiff upon contact and it scared her that all of this wasn't going to work.

She had barely turned her back from him and walked few feet away when Jason asked; "is today annoy Jason day or did I miss the menu? I don't understand why you are lying to me right now Elizabeth. I really don't, no sane man will believe his wife is going to the mall to get groceries dressed like that. Your twins are out, your back is bare. For God's sake that dress is few inches from showing your butt too. So please, please tell me the menu for today."

Liz decided to ignore him. Low key she was starting to feel like this wasn't going to work he wasn't really even showing touching her yet. Jason usually can't keep his hands off her when she dressed sexily.

She left the dining room and walked towards the door adding the extra swing to her waist to make sure the rhythm of her waist was on a faster tempo and her butt jiggled as she walked.

"Don't you dare step out of this house Elizabeth. I'm not freaking playing games with you. There is no way you're going to get groceries when you look like groceries yourself. All my goodies are out, are you going to a club?"

Liz groaned in exasperation this wasn't going as planned, he was supposed to drag her body towards him and be all possessive to bed.

Slowly the boldness and ginger she used to set up this plot was slowly slipping away. If this was early this year the first thing her man would have done was to cat whistle and try to gas her up by telling her how hot and beautiful she was.

So she decided to switch plans. "So, what if I'm going to a club?"

"Without me?" He asked again his eyes trying hard to look somewhere above her head like he couldn't bear to look at her and it was hurting Liz more than he knew.

"Yea, its not like you care anyway. So what if I want to go alone and make myself feel good about my body? I deserve that at least." She yelled now in return.

Jason took huge breaths and dug his hands into the pocket of his pants trying super hard to calm himself down. His jaw look permanently clenched like if he ground it any minute longer his teeth will turn to paper. He looked like he was about to burst and so was Liz. She was tired of the subtle hints the loud hints, the space she was tired of it all.

"So now you're admitting that you aren't going to Walmart anymore. Its the club right? " he brought up his hand into the air to make a quotation mark to cite her and continued, "To see who at the club? Because you look like you're searching for something or someone since you want to disrespect our relationship just tell me with who?"

You. I just want your attention no one else. The words where on the tip of Liz's to tongue but she couldn't say it especially not with how much they have both changed.

"Answer me Elizabeth." His voice was low now the type that sent shivers down your nerve in fear.

"What do you want me to say? Maybe just maybe I'll find someone who can look at me like a woman and want my body don't you think? Because I don't know what else to do to make want me" The moment the words left her mouth Liz wanted to bang her head on the nearest wall. Well screw the whole plan it wasn't working anyway. She stared at him as she waited for his reaction. The transformation was rapid, from dumb shock, to disbelief and finally anger.

"Are you stupid?" Jason asked and Liz felt her eyes water. His response felt like a literal slap because it was the same thing Pamela told her.

"Do I have a -hi my name is stupid sign on my forehead? Do I?" She asked feeling old wounds, hurt and fear reel in poisoning her heart. So much for trying to communicate and this is what you get. She whipped around quickly turning her back to him screw this she really was going out. She moved towards the glass bowl by the door where Jason usually flung his car and house keys too when he got back to pick them.

"Come here Elizabeth." Jason didn't yell, he didn't need to. He had a voice and persona that commanded attention especially when he wanted to but it wasn't going to deter her.

She made to turn the handle of the door when suddenly she found herself tugged sharply. She spinned so hard, she was going to fall if not for Jason's sharp hands digging into her waist.

His eyes where blazing at her angrily and she jutted her chin upward with tears filled eyes and asked. "What Tolulope? what more do you want?
