Farther Along The Journey (Chapter)

Farther along the Journey

Four Months Later

Dessiah sat in the lobby for Mr. Roberts's, her grandmother's attorney. Looking around the light blue walls the room was cozy, not your typical law office. The sound of his assistant taking calls didn't pull Dessiah out of a daze. She was amazed at just how much things had changed in the past four months. While in Japan she was able to get so much done with her grandmother's estate. Thank God for a fax machines and email. She was able to get documents signed return in time to file for her grandmothers life insurance policies before the statute of limitations ran out. Although she is unaware of how much money the other three policies were she was just relieved that there was something left to salvage.

A vibration from her paints pocket jerked her attention. She smiled looking at the contact picture of Detrick, Delaney and Dessiah at the county fair smiling bright.

"Hi babe." Dessiah answered in a low settled tone.

"Hey, I missed you this morning."

"Yea, I had to run."

"Run and leave me without my kiss?" Dessiah blushed. Detrick had been spending so much time together that they rarely spent nights alone in their home. Last night he was at Dessiah place.

"Yes. Delaney had school and I had an appointment. I didn't want to wake you since you were up all night working.

"Waking me up to kiss the woman I love is worth the interruption. Don't do that again."

"Is that an order?"

"No. That's a demand. I demand a kiss goodbye from my woman." Dessiah bit on her bottom lip slightly aroused. She had to admit she like when he demanded her affection, which is why she intentionally withheld. Detrick new her game and didn't mind playing along. Although they had yet to have sex they lingered with passionate affection.

"Okay Mr. Simmons, I will do my best to adhere to your demands."

"I'm sure you will since you know whats best for you."

"And what would that be?"

"Me."

"Ahaha" Dessiah giggled.

"Don't act like you don't know."

"You're right. I won't."

"What are you doing now?"

"Still at my appointment."

"Do you wanna have lunch?"

"Aww babe I'd love to but I don't know how much longer this is going to take. Besides Delaney gets out of school early today."

"What time?" He asked.

"About 2:15pm."

"Do you want me to pick her up?

"No you don't have to."

"I know I don't have to but I want to, besides I owe her Yogurt land anyway. Look just take your time handling your business and we'll see you at home."

"Mine or yours?"

"Baby anywhere you are is home for me." Dessiah blushed deeply. This man and his one-liners made her tingle all over. Detrick worked overtime to finish the project in Japan and double time to earn Dessiah's trust and affection.

"Okay. Mine is fine then because I have to wash Delaney's uniforms for school."

"Alright. I'll see you tonight. I love you Siah."
