These last few chapters will be a conclusion to this book. People were saying we didn't see the kids grow up.
Umm we already on chapter 100 and something, that will be 1000 and something. So that's not happening. You didn't see Auggie born, but you knew that he came. You don't have to see every detail
Of a characters life guys. That's cleared up in back story that comes along with the story.
If I wrote every detail in chronological order this book would be never ending. I did the kids grown up because the majority asked for that when I asked for ideas.
Those who want to see them as kids. Get your feels out now. It will only be two more chapters and then this book will be over. I'm not going to drag it out.
And I was reading your comments when she was crying last chapter? since when has Amb been the emotional one in this relationship? You thinking of the wrong book loves cause it's two cry babies in this series and none of them name is Amber and they both male. Lol
Amber POV -
I hurriedly finished preparing as Aug would be home soon. Mama agreed to watch my babies for the night.
It's been five months since everything happened and Aug and I haven't even addressed the situation. Nor have we talked about the argument we had before.
It's not purposeful. We've been preoccupied. Me recovering. We had to get my strong man Miri up to a healthy weight where he could come home and that took a couple of months. So Aug was going back and forth to the hospital checking on Miri everyday, because I couldn't. I was subject to the bed.
Plus he was taking the kids back and forth to school. My mom offered to help him, but you know Aug. He's in this it's my duty as a husband and father to be there for everybody. And he's never slacking again mode.
I take a deep sigh right here, because he's been doing too much. I just want him to relax for once and let me cater to him now that I'm better, because he's been taking care of everybody else.
I want to show my baby, how much I appreciate him and how he has stepped up in every way imaginable these past months.
I heard the front door open and I quickly got his first gift of the night from off the bed and went downstairs.
I stood at the foot of the stairs, watching him taking off his dress shoes. He loosened his tie and turned around and stopped when he saw me. He looked me up and down seductively.
I walked toward him. He looked down at me. I handed him the box.
"Open it."
He did. He took it out and smirked. I took the crown from him and reached on my tippy toes and put it on his head.
"That's for the king of my heart." I grabbed his face and pecked his lips.
"When I get to what's in here?" He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his body, rubbing my ass.
"In due time." I patted his chest and led him to the kitchen.
He smiled at how I prepared the entire kitchen table with his favorite foods and deserts.
I pulled out his chair and he sat down. I fixed his plate then sat it in front of him.
"Let me know when you're finished eating, I'm going to go make sure your bath is ready." I kissed him then left him to eat.
I finished making his bath with the upmost care. I put jasmine in it. Rose petals. Poured his favorite glass of wine and sat it on the side.
He came upstairs when he was done and started changing out of his dress clothes from work.
"Go get in. It's warm. I'll be in there." I took his clothes from him and hung them up while he went in the bathroom.
I got his most important gift, put it in my pocket and went in the bathroom.
I hit the light and let the candles shine, as I turned Destiny Child's - Cater 2 U on repeat.
I bent down grabbed the sponge from him and washed his neck.
"Get in with me baby." He said taking a sip of his wine.
"Baby it's for you."
"I know and what would make this complete is having my wife in here with me." He reached up and pecked my lips.
"Fine." I smiled.
I started to take off my clothes.
August started laughing.
"What?" Now he had me feeling insecure my body has changed a lot since Miri and getting shot.
"I'm thinking about the time you stripped for me in your office. Remember that?" He held his head back laughing.
"It was not that funny. " I rolled my eyes, finished taking off my clothes and got between his legs to sit down.
He did something unexpected. He turned my body towards him and placed kisses all over my C-Section scars from Miri and Auggie.
Then he brought me closer to him and kissed my side with my healing gun shot wound.
"Now you can sit down."
I sat down between his legs.
"Thank you for that baby. My confidence needed it. You always question your attractiveness after things like this."
"When has that ever been a problem for us?"
"Never."
"Aight. Stop that. Sit back."
I sat back on him. He placed kisses all along my shoulder and neck.
"You do we realize we haven't had sex since the incident?" He said.
"I know."
"Praise God you healed cause know that mean I can beat the bottom out that box." He took a sip of wine.
"Oh my God." I laughed.
"I'm serious. Just wanted to warn you ahead of time."
"Shut up." I slapped his knee.
He chuckled.
There was a moment of silence. The music just playing.
"Babe I decided to do this for you, because I appreciate you so much. How you never left my side. Checking on Miri every day. Picking up Auggie and Sata, taking them. I am utterly amazed at how much you have done. And I just wanted to tell you I see you and I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart."
"It's my job. I should've been doing it before. Like I remember the fight we had when you told me you were pregnant in the laundry room, and you were saying things were too much with working and trying to take care of us. And I told you to quit instead of saying, "babe I'll help you carry the load." And I'm sorry for that. But you know...sometimes it takes tragedy to get you to see what matters."
"Yeah. You know when I was in a coma I could hear you. I couldn't respond but I could hear you. And it meant so much that everyday you would sing to me the song I wrote for you. I never thought you would've remembered. Especially all the words. If I would have lost you due to my stupidity, I don't know what I would've done. Thank you baby for just forgiving me, taking me back. And just being amazing. I know we argue and fight. And I may say things to hurt you, but you really have been a blessing to me." I felt my hot tears streaming down my face.
"And from now on I don't want the sun to set on our anger like the Bible says. I want us to resolve it immediately. I would be so sad if my last words to you were you didn't mean anything to me these past 8 years. Because it's just not true. You are my everything August. You really are. And we have been through so so so so so much, but we always make it out. And I wanted to give you this." I grabbed the box with his gift and handed it to him.
He opened it and smiled.
"A mini go cart." He chuckled.
"Yeah. I got a matching one too. The lesson we got that day, and how it was the beginning for us. I just want us to remember we may knock each other into a wall sometime, but we got to get us to the end. So when we have an argument from now on we pull these out to remind us of our mission as a couple." I smiled through my tears.
"Aww baby thank you." He smiled. "And I know I spent our entire relationship saying I'm sorry. But I'm
Sorry for being a spoiled brat and being sensitive when it comes to you. It's just baby I told you what I been through as a child. And when you experience love like what you have for me, I'm territorial about it. You know that. No It's not right. And I realize I got to stop. Because my selfishness, my anger and, my pettyness was the cause of the entire fight. And I'm sorry. Know that I love you more than this whole
World. I got the kids to prove it. I got the tats on my back, my ring finger to prove it. If you needed my heart baby, I would die so you could have it. Everybody knows I don't play about my Amber Patrice Alsina. It's been like that from day one and it's gone stay like that. Unless of course you leave me for Idris."
We looked at each other and laughed.
"You're not crying. I'm shocked."
I said wiping my eyes and running nose.
"Amb between worrying about you and Amiri, I'm done. I cried more than I ever cried in my life and I cry a lot."
"You do." I laughed. "But I have and always will love my crybaby."
I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him.
"Let's go in the room so I can make you cry." He smirked.
We finished our bath and finally made love after months without each other.
And yes he did make me cry. In a good way. 😍
