Chapter 23: She comes home!

"Babe! Lola phoned me earlier, she'd be catching her flight in two hours over here."

I said stretching my lengthy black silky hair looking into the mirror while Jamal was tutoring Jordan Kareem on how to handle the wheels even at a very tender age of nearly eleven months. Ever since he had started counting his steps and saying out a few words like 'Mama and Dada'. 

  "Baby, can you not do this?" Jamal said seriously with a slight frown

  "You could explain though!" I didn't look back, I focused on my reflection In the mirror.

  "I don't feel good about this, you can lodge her into a 5 star hotel I'll pay the petit bills but not live with us. I don't feel good about it...jeez." Jamal pointed out

  "Everything that happened before was in the past, right now we are in the present Which includes keeping the past behind us, daddy Kareem!" I taunted with seriousness, making him see facts.

  "There she goes again.....I am not approving that, mummy Jordan!" He taunted too

  "Ok, I hear you! Husband!" I taunted again

  "Good for us, Wife!"

Jordan's cry was like an alarm that tingled us and brought back to earth. Such bad parents, arguing to the hearing of our beloved, I thought.

We rushed to him as though he fell off a cliff. We laughed at our folly, raining kisses all over him, he was indeed our angel, the pearl on heavens gate, just as Ada had predicted.

I agreed to hire a nanny for JK, Bella. She is about 35, she had a teenage son the university, apparently Bella lived with us not within the mansion but we had a portable apartment for her within the premises. Bella was fixing breakfast in the kitchen while I briskly walked in a Dior sneakers, and a shirt and pants coupled with an iced Jewelry worth 24 carats Gold. Jamal got a customized one for Jordan as well. I took a Versace shades to match up.

  "Belle. I'd be at the airport to get Lola, do well as always ok?" I instructed

  "Yes ma'am! Anything else?" Bella asked

  "I guess not.....Jamal would ask you if he needs anything, Assist him with Kareem...thank you dear!" I left scurrying

I heard her scream a good bye from a distance, that was was lovely, too lucky for me.

I saw Lola from a distance waving and smiling. She maintained her curvy physique but added a slight weight depicting sound mind. We ran to each other like we haven't met for over a year meanwhile it was just a span of Five months. We didn't go home straight away, we did our girls-runarounds and some shopping. Shopping spree wasn't an option for us, we did it religiously. Lola insisted she would live in her apartment instead. I guess she too, felt some type of way after everything. I did not go against it, succumbed to it. If both parties had occurring opinions about their existence in the same house, then I should respect it, besides I wouldn't want no problems after rebuilding our friendship.

We got home after several hours, Bella had prepared dinner. We ate without hesitation, she showered in my house instead then we were out beside the pool discussing. 

Jamal swam for few a minutes, while our legs were stuck in the pool. While Jamal was getting out of the pool, his physique, biceps and abs got me mesmerized, I threw a towel at him to cover up. I didn't mind if I was right or awkward for being protective, I did what I thought was best. He appreciated it regardless, winking at me. Lola was carried away in the discussion, she was telling me about her past and present relationship, she assumed life was playing a fast one on her. Her concurrent relationship got her fed up with men not until she met Lionel Wilbur, a mechanical engineer, in essence, he's a gentleman man with wealth.  

Jamal was glued to Jordan, he preferred spending more time with our son than indulging himself in our discussion.

Finally, Lola left at about 10pm. I checked on Jordan's cradle, he was peacefully asleep. I changed into a white flowered net like mini flare gown. I hopped on the bed, placing my head on his chest while he fell half asleep. He opened his eyes immediately.

  "Babe!" He groaned, turning to me

  "Yo!"

  "When did she leave?" He said sleepily

  "Almost an hour ago! So did you miss me?" I teased

  "Who wouldn't! I got a diva on bed." He smiled snuggling my nose.

  "Don't start, Jamal." I blushed

  "Your eyes were fixed on me earlier....jeez Danni, did you have to throw that towel at me?" He teased

He knew fully well how I reacted abd how attractive he looked but he teased anyways

  "Nah Man, don't do that. You were messed up earlier! Everything was exposed to the birds, did you actually think I'd buy that? No c'mon! We've come a long way, babe, I wouldn't let that slip!" I explained

  "That's what I wanted, to get you down for me!" He teased 

  "I'd admit this once, I'm down for you but next time you'd regret it, man!" 

  "Let's make babies, Mama!"

We laughed to it. Then our emotions took charge, always colliding.
