MEN SOMETIMES LEAVE WHEN THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE BRAIN OF A WOMAN

Every father is attached to her daughter especially when they're either the first or last born. Denzel spent most of his time with Beryl whenever he was home. He decided to not be bringing work from the office to the house so that he could support Phyllis to take care of her since she was now very busy with her work at Richards International and her foundation, Dahlia. What amazed him was the fact that she continued to prepare their breakfast and supper coupled with doing their laundry especially his own and taking care of Beryl. He had insisted on hiring a house help or nanny to support her but she adamantly refused saying that she wanted to be responsible to her home and job at the same time. To her both her home and work couldn't be compromised since that's what she had agreed to be committed to? " Do you think I only married you for the sex and making of babies? or Do you think I love my work more than I do to my family? I am committed to raising my child and being a wife to you more than building a career though I will never be a house wife because my parents and I have committed a lot to my being a woman who would not just be dependent on anyone or society but who would be able to support and help others develop so that the society would also develop." She would always say this to him whenever he tries to convince her to get a nanny or house help. What made him support her was the fact that she made time to rest especially during the weekends and also get time for their family and friends whenever it was necessary.

A day to Beryl's one year birthday, while Denzel was in the living room with Beryl, he noticed her taking her first step and texted Phyllis to rush to the living room to be a witness to that since that's also a stage in every baby's life that parents love to witness. She continued to take a step gradually until her mother walked in. As soon as she saw her mother, she giggled and said her first word "Mama". Phyllis got so emotional when she saw her take her steps and also when she said Mama because that was the first word he had ever said though she had been saying gibberish for a while. Denzel gave her a boiled egg since that's what's is used to congratulate and initiate a person from a stage to a higher level in their culture. He then began to teach Beryl to say Dada but she continuously repeated Mama until after a while when Phyllis took her to change her diaper. The very moment she carried her, she screamed Dada and they all burst into laughter not only because it was funny but because they were both happy as well.

Denzel and Phyllis decided not to have any hyped birthday party for their daughter since she was just a baby who wouldn't even remember anything so they hired a cameraman for a photo shoot and then decided to later go out for a lunch date. Just as they were about to leave the house, they heard the door bell ring and when Denzel opened the door he couldn't believe the people he saw around. Amelia had already decorated his garden and set it up for Beryl's birthday celebration. They were in shock when they saw that so they asked her when she made those are and she told them the night prior to that day. She had spent the night in their house without their notice and got Melanie to support her to the organisation. She rushed home when Melanie was leaving for lectures that morning. Amelia asked everyone including the Jones, the Mensahs and the Richards to be seated for the celebrations. Amelia was the sole sponsor and organiser of the program because Beryl was her god daughter and she knew the Mansfords wouldn't organise a party for her. They had a memorable celebration and the people around took turns to bless Beryl and the celebration came to an end after three hours.

Phyllis took Beryl to her office at Richards International on Monday and as soon as she put her down she began to scatter her office and break things. She used to do that while she was crawling but this time around was severe since she could stand, stretch and walk. Phyllis watched her for a while and then settled to work while she called her Personal Assistant to watch over Beryl. Mrs. Richards came over for a visit and proposed that Phyllis took Beryl to school since she could now talk because she thought she being in school wouldn't only give Phyllis time to work but it would help Beryl's cognitive and socio-emotional development as well. When Mrs Richards left, Phyllis sat quietly and took a pen to write her thoughts down. She was planning on operating a school especially creche not only for the sake of Beryl but for the children of the women, both beneficiaries and workers in her foundation to benefit and be well taken care of since she would be monitoring the teachers and administrators of the school. She called her husband and invited him for lunch.

As soon as Beryl saw him, she began to call him, Dada and she happily grabbed him while he sat down. When he saw his wife's posture and mood, he smiled to himself because he knew she was coming to have a discussion with him about an idea she had conceived. Yes! He knew his wife very well. She had already ordered their food so they were served as soon as he got there. "Babes, what's up?" Denzel asked her and she sarcastically responded saying " so I can't invite my husband out for a lunch date any longer?" He smiled and said "oh Sweetheart, that's something you're good at doing but your mood today is communicating to me that this is not our usual lunch date but a business discussion so let's get talking. "

She laughed out loud because what he said was the truth. "Well, Sweetheart, I have been thinking throughout this morning about taking Beryl to school." He wanted to interrupt her because he doesn't support Beryl being in school at that age. I was thinking that I should attach a school to the foundation so that Beryl and the other children would be in safe hands since I would be monitoring them. Denzel smiled and said " where do you get this attitude of turning problems into opportunities and ventures? You're too smart that you scare me at times. Honestly, if I was to marry you now, I would have run away. No longer you had so many disappointments. The guys left not because you're a bad person but they couldn't handle your brain. I'm proud to be your husband. Cheers to us."

" But baby," he continued, you can run a school but not attached to the Foundation else the school won't survive because it means that the school would be a non-profit organisation and raising funds to finance it would be difficult so let's establish a school but not attached to the school even if you want to make it free for the children of the Foundation's beneficiaries, we would still get funds through the tuition fees the others would pay to support the school. Phyllis smiled while she held his hands and humbly said "thanks for the compliment and suggestion babes. This is our project and I want you to handle it. This is something both of us have to do for our daughter and I leave it in your hands as the head of the family." Denzel accepted to work on it with her and thanked her for the opportunity she was given to him to protect and develop his daughter. They left the restaurant to their various offices after the meal and discussion.

Phyllis started taken an online course in Counselling and Guidance with an accredited university because she wanted to improve upon her counselling skills so that she would be able to help with the psychological assessment and counselling of her beneficiaries. She already had a Master's Degree in Project Management but she still felt the need to develop more. Her husband was worried about her because he felt she would break down due to the stress in handling all that she was doing but she assured him she would be fine so Amelia either spent the weekends with them so that she would take care of Beryl or take her to their house for the weekend so that Phyllis would get the time to rest since Melanie attended lectures during the weekends.

Denzel began to feel distanced from his wife because she had become too busy for them to even have conversations and discussions like they used to. Their sex life was being affected but Phyllis didn't see notice it because he never complained about how her life was affecting their marriage. Amelia noticed how Phyllis' life was affecting her home, so she had a discussion with her about it. Phyllis thanked her and apologised to Denzel one evening during supper and promised to make it up to him.

She sneaked inside their comforter that night while Denzel was asleep and sucked his penis, played with his balls and nipples and kissed him until he no longer could sleep. She pushed her on the bed and raised her legs to rest on his shoulders so that he would be able to penetrate deeper inside her and stimulate her clitoris while he rode her. Phyllis broke down into tears because she had missed that kind of pleasure and it felt good. Denzel pushed her legs close to her face and asked her to hold her legs so that he would ride her in that position too. She began to moan loudly because she was enjoying that position very much. Denzel later licked her for sometime and then playfully rubbed her clitoris with his penis until she begged him to enter him. Denzel sat on the couch so that she would sit on his penis for them to enjoy a good ride as well. They both enjoyed each other until they both came. Denzel kissed and thanked her for a wonderful night. They had a conversation about their lives, marriage and work all through out the night until they both fell asleep
