“Check it. I still want to be in the boys’ lives. They yo’ sons, I get that, but I built a bond with them lil niggas. I love them. I can’t even picture my life without them, for real.”
Marli thought about what he was saying. She and Dru had been discussing the proper way to explain everything to the boys. They’d discussed Max’s place in their lives, and they both decided that snatching him away abruptly would do more damage than good.
“We can arrange that. It’ll make it easier for the boys,” Marli replied.
Max looked up at her and smiled. “Thank you.”
“I have something for you. I’ll give it to your mom. It’s exactly what we discussed.” Dru held up a check for five hundred thousand dollars. It was all the money Max had paid Marli in child support, minus therapy for Tres. Marli didn’t think it was necessary, but Dru insisted, talking about he didn’t need another man to take care of his kids. Max nodded.
“Right on,” was all he got to say before Ms. Woodard pulled him into her arms. Marli and Dru didn’t stay around to watch their embrace.
“Let’s go home. I can’t wait to get yo’ fine ass out of that dress,” Dru whispered in her ear, causing Marli to giggle. She couldn’t wait to get out of the tight midi-dress either, but for different reasons. Their unborn child had her hot, and her feet were swelling in the expensive heels she had on, but Marli refused to miss an opportunity to give the cameras a look. Hollywood Tearoom was going to post her, and she wasn’t going to be caught slipping. Marli and Dru turned to walk out of the courtroom, the bright sunlight and press swarming them. She took a deep breath as Dru’s security surrounded them.
“No statements, no comments!” they shouted as they moved down the stairs.
“Marli!” Ms. Woodard called to them as they made it to the car. The security parted to let her through. Without words, she and Marli embraced in a hug. Marli felt for her. Watching her only son go to jail after finding out that her only grandchildren weren’t biologically hers had to be a lot.
“This is for you. Max wants you to hold it for him.” Dru handed her the check. Ms. Woodard looked on, confused, reluctant as to what Dru was handing her.
“It’s the refund of his child support for the twins.” Dru clarified. Ms. Woodard took the check, unfolding it to read the numbers. Her eyes bulged at the amount, and she quickly tucked it inside her bra.
“You got a good man here, Marli.” Ms. Woodard embraced Dru in a hug.
“He a little bossy, but he all right,” Marli joked, staring up at Dru. She didn’t know when it happened, but she seemed to have found herself in a relationship with Dru. They had never officially confirmed anything, but they both knew what it was.
“You like this bossy shi…” Dru replied as Marli hit him in the arm. Ms. Woodard laughed.
“Love looks good on you.”
Marli’s body stilled. She and Dru still hadn’t exchanged those words. She felt it, but she was still too scared to admit it. Marli moved closer to the car. They had been standing out here feeding the press long enough.
“Can I still expect the boys on Saturday?” Ms. Woodard asked. Marli nodded her head.
“Of course. They’ll be there around eleven o’clock,” she replied. She had told Ms. Woodard a thousand times that she was still the boys’ grandma. No DNA test would change that. The boys loved Ms. Woodard, and she loved them. Marli was glad, because her sons hadn’t lost anyone in all this craziness. They had only gained a better father in Dru and a loving grandmother in Ms. Natalie. It gave her hope that her boys would be all right.
“Hurry up and get in the car. Roll that dress up too,” Dru stated as they climbed into the back of the SUV. Marli did as she was told, revealing that she wasn’t wearing any panties.
“Bring yo’ hot ass over here and ride yo’ dick.” Dru slapped her on the ass. Marli threw her leg over Dru’s lap so that her back was facing him. It was the only way she could ride him with her growing baby bump.
“That’s right.” Dru entered her from the bottom. Her body filled with pleasure as her walls relaxed and adjusted to the size of him. Marli didn’t think that she would ever get use to the feeling of him inside her. Every time Dru’s massive dick felt like he was stretching her, Marli gripped the seat of the car as she collapsed her ass up and down on it.
“Fuck!” He growled, cuffing her ass cheeks in his hands. “I could barely contain myself in that damn courtroom.”
“Ooh!” Marli moaned. She loved it when Dru started talking to her while he dug out her guts.
“Looking this damn good!” He smacked her on the ass. “My baby finally poking out and shit.”
Marli bounced up and down on Dru’s dick as if they weren’t being driven down the freeway.
“Ooh, Dru. Fuck!” Marli could feel her orgasm being ripped from her insides. Everything inside her was screaming for her to finally admit to the one thing she had been fighting as long as she could remember. As Dru pounded inside of her, she couldn’t deny it anymore. She loved this man, had always loved him.
“I love you!” she shouted as her juices coated Dru’s shaft. As soon as she’d said it, she felt free. Pretending not to be in love with Dru had been tiresome. Dru wrapped his hands around her chest, bringing her into him.
“You love me, or you love this dick?” He pounded hard inside of her.
“I love you, baby! I love you!” she screamed as she circled her hips in his lap.
“I have been waiting for you to say it first.” Dru kissed her neck. “You wasn’t about to have me out here looking like a simp ass nigga!”
Marli’s eyes rolled to the back of her head from the pleasure. Every part of her body was tingling.
“I love you too, baby mama!” He grunted as he released inside of her. “In case you needed the confirmation, this dick you are riding, this heart,” he pumped up into her one last time, “it’s yours for as long as you want it.”
“I want it forever!” she sang. Marli’s heart swelled. She was in an official relationship filled with love, laughter, and good sex, and she loved every minute of it.
“Did we forget anything?” Marli questioned Ms. Natalie as she waddled around the kitchen. Her nerves were bad. She wanted everything to be perfect. They had been planning to surprise Dru with the boys’ new birth certificates ever since they had come in the mail a few weeks prior. Marli had enlisted the help of Ms. Natalie to cook all Dru’s favorite meals. The two ladies had been forming a great relationship ever since the day the correct DNA tests were revealed. Marli loved Ms. Natalie’s honesty. She’d been very helpful with Marli’s transition into being a live-in girlfriend. Plus, the relationship she had with the boys was beautiful.
“No, everything is perfect. He’s going to love it,” Ms. Natalie replied. Marli looked at the time. Dru had texted he was on the way twenty minutes ago. He should have been arriving any minute.
“Deuce! Tres!” Marli called the boys. They were also in on the surprise. The boys came running into the living room wearing the special shirts that Marli had made. The room was decorated with balloons and streamers, and they put up a sign that read “Congratulations, Daddy!”
“He’s here!” Deuce shouted as the doorknob began to turn. Marli ran into place, sliding her hands down the front of her dress.
“Surprise!” They all yelled as Dru entered the house. His face read of confusion as he glanced around at the decorations.
“What’s going on?” he questioned as he embraced his mom in a hug.
