I raised the bat off the table and whispered, “You know I also have a big pee-pee. My bat is huge. Not straight, though. But I don’t think you mind. I always hit home runs. Want to play?”
“Naptime,” she winked. This time, I sulked.
“Yeah. About that. Next year, I want to try for a third. ?Then, I can retire.”
“Really?” She put the coffee mug down, paling slightly.
“Yep. We have to break the tie. We have two on your team and two on mine.”
“Nope. Not listening.”
“I’m not getting any younger. I need a football player. That’s it. Baseball already has this one.” I reached over and mussed Michael’s hair.
With his eyes squeezed shut and head thrown back, Michael sang, “I love baseball!”
His long curls tossed back and forth. Lily laughed and began squealing at the top of her lungs. She spat cereal with her laugh and smacked her hands against the highchair tray.
“I think it’s time for Mommy’s exercise class,” Kandace announced, glancing at her watch. She stood from the chair. Leaning over, she kissed Michael on the top of his head. “Bye, Mikey.”
He stirred the grits on his plate and yelled, “See you later, Sweets.”
She kissed Lily Belle before rubbing me on my back and planting a kiss on my lips.
“Bye, my love. I’ll see you in a few hours.” She jumped when I smacked her ass.
“Do what you need to do and bring that sexy ass back to me.”
Now, I was a husband and a father. ?A father. ?Nothing brought me more joy than to come home to their beautiful faces. My son was in awe of me. I amazed my baby girl. My wife was in love with me.
I didn’t know Kandace would make me so happy. I woke up every morning to the same woman. I went to bed with her. I thought of her throughout the day. My love for her ordered my steps. Every day, I wanted to be a better man because she made me feel better.
My advice for any bachelor contemplating the life of marriage and fidelity . . . Make sure?you find a woman who laughs at your jokes, looks at you with stars in her eyes, and is thankful when you fix the leaky sink. A woman who, after four years, still sighs when your dick sinks slowly and deeply inside of her.
Because there is no greater magic than true love.
The End
