When a Dick In The Ass Is Worth Two In The Bush

It didn’t take much for me to shove my conversation with my cousin to the back burner of my mind. As much as I loved her, I had to take Danielle’s advice with a grain of salt. Despite being recently wed, she tended to be jaded about marriage, and really, I couldn’t expect anything less from her since settling divorces was how she made her bread and butter. She didn’t pull in six figures a year from people splitting up just to turn around and think that the institution wasn’t flawed. Hell, I was still suspicious of her own nuptials, and I’d witnessed with my own eyes how good she and Johnathan were together years before they decided to tie the knot.

My budding relationship with Jereth felt too good for me to dwell on what I didn’t know about him. What I did know was how he made me feel, how sexy I felt when he looked at me with an insatiable hunger. How excited I was when he’d planned an outing for the three of us and it was obvious that including my son hadn’t been an afterthought. I know that when Wisdom shoved his head into the crook of my arm as me and Tasha made breakfast for everyone early one fall Sunday morning and rested his head on my shoulder as he told me that he liked Jereth, no one else’s opinion mattered to me from that moment on. Call me a dumb bitch—which Toy absolutely did do, right before I stuck my middle finger up her nose—but I had too much going on in my life to be worried about details that didn’t affect Wisdom’s or my daily existence.

Or that had been the case, at least. I was able to go a few months after that conversation with Danielle before it became glaringly obvious to me what she had been trying to say. On our nine-month anniversary, Jereth surprised me with a party. Not only was it a surprise because I didn’t know about it, but who the hell celebrates nine months of marriage? It was wild and unexpected and made me want to throw my ass at him as soon as we were alone.

All of my family and friends were there, including my crazy uncles and aunties. Even Evan and Ava were in attendance, which shocked the shit out of me. The maturity of it all solidified that I would be giving up my draws when I got Jereth back to the house. The turning point for me was when Jeremiah came out of the crowd. I hadn’t seen him since the day Jereth and I got married, and his presence was an even bigger surprise than the party itself. But nothing was more surprising than what he said to me after he pulled me into a tight hug.

“Congratulations on dealing with that knucklehead for nine whole months.”

Laughing, I returned his hug with a shake of his head.
