She pulled out her phone to order when I stopped her.
"My treat. Plus, I know the owner of the pizza shop, so he will give us the hookup on it."
"You're sure?"
I was more than sure. Besides my business, I had never been sure about anything until I met Mila. I was sure she was the woman I wanted to be with.
"Positive. We can get it ordered and delivered to the house. That way, you can get him ready and prepared for bed."
She smiled. "Thanks, Trey, I appreciate that."
"Anything for you... and KJ."

Mila
Itried my best to control the stupid smile on my face when I walked back into my apartment. I had just placed KJ on the bus for school and was preparing to get ready for work. As soon as I opened the door, Trey turned the corner and smiled.
"We good?"
I nodded. "We're good."
He moved closer to me and wrapped me in his arms, lifting me off my feet. I squealed like a little girl as he lifted me, spinning me in a circle. Tremaine kissed me, and I melted in his arms. For the past two weeks, this had become our norm. He would come over at night once I got KJ down. Then, when it was time to get KJ ready for school, he would remain in my room until I got KJ safely on the bus. When it was the weekend, we would have Tremaine pretend to show up early in the morning at the door while KJ was doing his morning routine. Even though the arrangement was a lot, and I constantly told Tremaine we didn't have to live this way, he repeatedly reminded me he was okay with the way things were.
Once he finally got his fill of kisses, he placed me back on my feet.
"We should probably get ready for work. I feel as if I've been showing up late every day since this arrangement."
He shrugged. "Mila, you act like I'm not the boss. I'm the one making you late. Stop worrying about it."
"I get that, but I still have to be respectful of my position and this company."
He crossed his arms across his chest. "If you're trying to be an employee of the month, baby, you've already surpassed that."
He pulled at the string of my sweatpants and pulled me closer, sliding his hand down my butt and gripping it. "One of the best," he kissed me. "And the most delicious employee I'd ever had."
"Trey!"
"Shit, I mean it. I can taste you all day. I wouldn't mind a taste now." He licked his lips.
My honeypot heated, but I remembered how sore I was from the night before. As soon as Tremaine hit the door, he pleased my body 'til the wee hours of the morning. In the moment, I didn't care, but now my body was paying the price.
I backed away from him, putting distance between us. "No, Trey. My coochie needs a break. Plus, I need to shower and get dressed. You should do the same."
"Please?" he asked, poking his lip out. "I can't help it. I'm addicted."
"Trey..." I warned. "I'll make it up to you later, I promise. Plus, I need to get to the office soon. Susanna wants to go over what I need to pack for this conference."
He rolled his eyes. "Stuff like what?"
"Girl stuff," I replied with a smirk.
Susanna wanted to gossip with me about the things that went down at these conferences. She also wanted to go over outfit options and other essentials that I might need.
"Yeah, whatever. Don't let Susanna get your ass in some shit you can't get out of. Stay out of these niggas' faces and be by my side at all times. That's all you need to worry about."
I scoffed and placed my hands on my hips. "I know you're kidding."
