Happy Sabbath☺️💕✨ who's churching?

Monae's POV

I was in my favorite part of the house, kitchen, fixing myself a decent lunch at least. I haven't eaten anything decent through out this week uhm well except for the day daddy passed by and I prepared that dinner. The rest of the days were spent lazying around since I had no work to do and eating junk foods, from hot Cheetos to Doritos, hot dogs and fries with chicken tenders or some days Michy and I order pizza when he's hungry after coming back from work.

So today I made up my mind to get my ass up and cook something healthy and since I've been craving my local food, I decided to prepare boiled yam with garden egg stew with lost of fish, well different types of them, for lunch but I'm going to reserve some for him when he gets back.

I was in the middle of checking on the yam when I heard the front door close, followed by Michy calling my name.

"Babe, I'm in here." I yelled while taking a napkin to remove the saucepan off the fire.

Shortly after I had said that, footsteps were heard approaching the kitchen. "Hey." Michy greeted.

"Mnh." My whole concentration was on straining the yam and being careful not to spill the hot water on me.

"I missed you." I turned to see him loosening his tie, his suit jacket sprawling on one of the island chairs.

"When do you ever not?" I asked back with a smile tugging at my lips.

He rolled his eyes with a smile on his face too then he turned to glance at the food and licked his lips. "Finally, someone's lazy ass cooked us real food."

Though I got the hint of playfulness in his voice, I rolled my eyes, smacking his hand from mine. "Oh shut up!" Yet the smile was still stuck on my face. "Why are you here?"

"This is my house." He deadpanned.

I tilted my head to look at him while I unbuttoned his shirt. "I haven't denied that fact, have I? I'm curious to as to why you're home at this time of the day, I thought Fridays are busy days for you?"

"Uhm yeah they are but they can't stop me from spending some quality time with the love of my life can they?" I shook my head, he loves his work but he loves me more, that I'm so sure of.

Pulling me to his body, Michy inched his head to mine and with our foreheads touching, he nuzzled me as he circled his arms around my waist, smiling. "With your permission, may I please whisk you somewhere?"

"Yes please," I replied without a second thought. I trusted him enough to know I'll be safe with him wherever he takes me. "But where?" With my curiosity taking the best of me, I asked as I removed the shirt off his body, leaving him in his white tank top.

"Somewhere."

"Where?"

"Somewhere."

"Oh, Michy where?"

"Get the hint babe, issa surprise."

"Yeah right, you're at it again aren't you?" He only laughed in response as he dragged me out of the kitchen. I huffed looking away from him, he's always pulling up surprises on me.

First it was our first date which came as a big surprise, it was the last thing I expected after we escorted daddy to his car.

Michy found it the right time for us to go on our first date ever, although every day with us is a date, I kinda loved that night. We spent it at a private beach, laughing and giggling as we watched the stars till it was so late in the night. We came back home semi tipsy with wine, took our baths and went straight to bed.

And now this? I have a feeling I'm going to love it, maybe more than our date that night.

I followed him meekly into my room, going straight into the closet. He took out a large weekender bag, ready to pack my bag but I intercepted him and politely took it from him as I gave him a smile. "Thank you very—"

"Will you please sit your ass down and give me the honor of pampering you?"

He said it a way that made my heart flutter and with how he glanced at me with that signature amused look, I felt my face flush. I meekly nodded, stepping back to allow him have his way with my clothes.

I got kinda bored sitting there and watching him pack. An idea struck me, I smiled to myself secretly as I tiptoed out of the closet and out of the room.

I opened his door and headed straight for his closet, my eyes caught one of his many duffel bags laying on one of the small wardrobe in the middle of the closet and when I looked inside I saw he had already packed a few clothes, which means he already has the trip planned.

Since I don't know where we were going cause his tight lipped ass won't say anything, I packed some basic clothes—tank tops, tees, sweatpants, jacket( in case but I doubt, that guy is immune to cold.) and some other things.

I was halfway through it when I felt him wrapped his arms around me. "You sneaky little cutie." He whispered in my ears, brushing his lips against it. "I didn't notice you slip away."

I felt myself melting like Shea butter under scorching heat his lips grazed my ears and that huskiness in his voice. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to control myself before I spoke up. "That's because I didn't want you to—" I failed miserably, the giddiness was evident in my voice and the fact that he nibbled that spot, I couldn't help but moan lightly.

********

I picked up another piece of yam and scooped stew on it before sending it to my lips. As I bit into the yam, I felt Michy's eyes on me, it has been on me for a long time. I flickered my gaze from the food to him and found him watching me with a smile tugging at his lips. I shrugged, smiling. "What?"

"You." He simply stated, shifting his gaze to his plate as he cut yam with his fork and knife. "I find you cute eating the food with your fingers like that and I don't know why."

"That's how it is eaten duh."

"Mnh hmn, I've heard that from Asabrewaa a lot of times and it fascinates me every single time and right now is not an exception."

"Can I say something too?"

He nodded, "yeah of course, go ahead, you needn't even ask."

"I find it weird you being so comfortable eating it with fork and knife when you can just pick it with your fingers and eat it like no one's business."

"I'd say the same if I were in your shoes, you have to understand where I'm coming from. This isn't my culture, you know?"

"Yup I do but I still find it weird."

"And I still find it fascinating—"

"Sir."

"Yeah, what is it?"

"We're about to land." With that the hostess left us. I hastily packed our plates, throwing the rest of the food into a trash bag with the help of Michy as I washed my hands before buckling seatbelt.

Minutes later, we were out of the jet and on the road going to our destination.

The streets weren't familiar to me, no the whole environment. This place was foreign yet native and the short flight told me we were still on the soil of the United States of America.

I was straddling Michy, a position he put us into right after boarding the car. My head was on his chest  and I occasionally snuggled into his neck as he run his hand up and down my back in a soothing way aside kissing my hair.

He was so relaxed like he's been here a lot of times, giving instructions to the driver who is obviously new being his chauffeur cause I him reprimand someone on the phone for skipping his work so I presume he's his usual driver.

I felt my eyes getting heavier by the second and I knew I slept cause I woke up with groggy eyes as I stared out the car window when the car came to a halt. I thought we had arrived until Michy looked out of the car then at the driver who had an apologetic expression on his face.

"I'm sorry sir, the cattle are out grazing and it will take sometime before we can continue." With that being said he turned of the ignition and looked ahead of him.

Cattle?

I followed his line of vision and saw a herd of cattle before us, luckily for us, we were a distance away from them. I breathed out in relief, I hate cattle especially when they're out in the open. But I shifted my gaze instantly to Michy who was already looking at me.

"What the hell is going and where are we?"

"Relax babe, we're in Wyoming. We're going to my ranch."

"Your..your ranch?"

"You heard me right babe, I own a ranch and that's where we're spending the weekend."

Michy's POV

Nae tightened her arms around my lower torso and rested her head on my chest as the horse galloped but not too fast to throw us down given the position we were in, into the farm lands.

Unlike our previous horse rides where we raced, this one was more like enjoying our last day here, reveling in our perfect and serene weekend before going back to the hustle and bustle of life in New York and also going back to the drama I know very well awaits us. If I had my way, I would have stopped it from happening despite wanting to, I know it's inevitable.

I pushed those thoughts away and concentrated on the present with the love of my life here in my arms, no one or any drama can ever separate us. I smile as I looked down at her briefly, her  arms around me made me feel protective like she trusted me to protect her and make her feel safe.

Her soft giggles and the way her natural kinky hair that I'm in love with flies all over the place as the wind blows past with each run makes my heart flutter and I can't help but smile too.

It feels so unreal to me sometimes but right this minute, I know Nae and I are real. We're meant to be no matter what. This weekend has drawn us a lot closer than we were before, I've shared moments with her that I've never had with any other woman before, not even my sister. And the intense pleasure and joy that came with us is something I want to be feeling for the rest of my life and even beyond my life.

After we leave here, I will cherish every minute we spent together here. I'll always keep the memory of us camping outside in the deep woods of the ranch, that was one of the best nights of my life and I want it again and again, the leisure golf and tennis competition with the other ranchers here, our endless horse back riding, unfortunately we couldn't do most things as our time here is short but even with the little things we did, imma cherish them for life. We'd definitely come here again sometime and that too for a long period.

"Sorry."

I snapped out of my thoughts. "What?"

"My hair." She replied, tucking them behind her ear. "They keep getting in your face, it's distracting isn't it?"

"Uh, no...not in the least." I rather love them in my face, so fuzzy and curly. "I love your hair on the contrary."

"Oh I see," she smirked, giving me a cocky smile, "so that's why you can't keep your fingers away from it." I chuckled at her teasing tone and nodded.

"That isn't the only reason and I'm not going to tell you either else I won't enjoy the rest of our day."

"Oh please....please tell me."

I shook my head and looked around when I heard Brutos, my favorite horse neigh. That was when I realized we had arrived at the stream and he cried because of his dislike for this part of the ranch.

With my help, Nae dismounted the horse before I did and patted the animal affectionately then walked him to a nearby tree and tied him to it. I fed it some apples then walked away to remove my tee followed by my jeans and in minutes, I was almost butt naked save for the boxer briefs which clung a little bit to my body.

I flickered my eyes to Nae and found her taking the baggy shirt off her body. I couldn't help but stare at her as she did that, I've seen more of her since we came here and I can't resist every single time but look at her.

My God, I quickly shifted my gaze away from her as I cleared my throat quietly. Her delicate and silky smooth caramel skin was tempting as the sun rays hit it making it glow ravishingly.

"Hey, you can look now." At the sound of her voice, I casually looked over at where I thought she was but found her already in the stream.

That's a lot better.

I quickly jumped into it and started swimming. One thing I love is swimming, I love being immersed in water, the feel of the water on my body hits different than taking a shower and the way I can freely flip and stroke..I love swimming.

Swimming deeper into the stream, I cautiously looked out for Nae to make sure she's alright. The pool incident is still a fresh memory, she's gotten over it but I haven't. It still disturbs me till today, finding her almost drowning almost took the life out of me, I felt as if I had lost everything but I was quick in jumping into the pool and saving her.

I shot out of the water for a minute to catch my breath, coming out with my eyes closed, I wiped my hands over my face, shaking my hair which keeps getting longer.

As I inhaled the woody and earthy scent hanging thickly in the air coupled with that of the water, it might be weird but I do love the scents. I felt Nae wrap her hands around me, pulling me back into the water as she giggled mischievously.

******

I stood behind my baby in front of the bathroom sink, her back pressed to mine and with one hand around her waist, we brushed our teeth as we stole glances at each other in the mirror. We came back from the stream hours ago after swimming and being all loved up and over the hours of being here, we packed our bags in wait for our flight the next morning.

I've been here a lot of time so leaving isn't much of a big deal but with Nae she had quite a difficult time processing it after all the good time she's had here. It took me some time to get her to come around, promising her we were going to come back.

Done with the packing we had dinner and took our bath and we're not brushing our teeth cause we ate fish before getting ready for bed.

I spat the content away and rinsed my mouth then exited the bathroom, leaving Nae. I sauntered into the bedroom to the bed and picked up pillows and fur throw blankets and left to the balcony where I put one of the blankets on the balcony bed to make it extra comfy for us then added the pillows.

While I waited for her, I flipped out the electric bulbs and lighted the scented candles. My eyes caught fresh roses in a flower jar, I walked to it, picking two and scattered the petals on the bed to give it a romantic feeling.

I have a feeling tonight is going to be a night made in heaven for us, lmao.

I got into bed, pulled my phone from my shorts just to browse through it to pass sometime. For a reason, Nae is taking unusually long to come out and I'm starting to get bored.

I realized I had missed a lot while staying away from social media as I scrolled through my feeds. Shawn is divorced now and there's a picture of him with the caption available on the market like the last limited edition of a designer accessory.

Checking the other posts out, my eyes caught a rather striking post. I tapped on it but before I could look at it, my attention was stolen by the woman I've been waiting for all my life.

Her sweet scent instantly filled my nostrils the second she stepped into the balcony, I turned on my side to look at her and felt a sense of pride and happiness as I raked my eyes over her.

My girl was in my tee and shorts, even in the dim light I could still see her, damn did she have to look so irresistibly good? The smile I had on my face was nothing compared to what I was feeling in my heart for this girl.

Nae...my Nae.

She must have felt gaze at her because she cleared her throat and I knew she was flushing beet red, I know my girl more than I know myself. Her shyness and meekness sometimes surprises me, though it does, I love that about her.

"Uhm..uh about your clothes—" she began, walking to me but I cut her off.

Wtf? I'm thinking of cuddling and she's worried about some clothes? "Don't worry about it, come here babe." I stretched my hand to her and she took it as she got into bed beside me on the hammock.

"About your clothes, I stained myself and I wanted—"

"Shh babe, you can have my clothes anytime you want and in any quantity you don't need to ask, not just my heart but everything that's mine is yours. Now let's enjoy our night, our last night together here." I said the last part almost in a whisper and kissed her knuckles, because even I don't want to leave this bliss and serenity we're enjoying.

I wish we could stay here forever, just Nae and I in our little world with no bother. Sadly it can't be so, I have work. A lot of work not just my business but work involving my family now that my sister is planning on coming back. With her presence soon, we're going to go on one hell of an emotional ride.

A ride that can't be avoided, what happened is in the past but we never had the time to discuss it as a family because she eloped out of shame and brokenness. I won't call her a coward or a wimp cause I know what she went through, I felt half of what she felt and her decision to elope was for the best. Everything then was so nerve wracking and bitter, even I would have done the same if I were her.

"Did you do all this for us?" I heard her ask after sometime.

"No, for you. I did all this for you because you truly deserve this and so much more."

You deserve even the entire universe for being such a virtuous lady.

Turning on her side, she laid her head on my chest and started to roam her hand on my bare chest, I loved it. "The same applies to you, you deserve this as much as I do, the pampering, lavish gifts and surprises, babe you're worth it too. And I wish I could give you all that but I have nothing than my heart and love."

My fingers somehow found their way into her head, I loved how it felt between them as I stroked and played with it.  "They're enough for me. You don't have to do anything extra o, material things don't move me and I'm not saying this because I have money no, not that. I had girls who could spend on me not more than I could though but how did that end up? They intentionally spent on me just to cover up their cheating asses but with you it's different and I want it to be like that. Your heart and love is enough for me, I'd rather have that than be gifted with an expensive watch only to look like a fool later on, the watch being a reminder of that deceit."

She raised her head slightly to look at me in the eyes. "Why are you this good, why do you always put my happiness before yours?"

Because I love you.

"Do you really wanna know?" I asked though I knew the answer and when I got a mod from her, I proceeded to tell her the truth. "My happiness lies in yours, if you smile I smile, if you're excited too then I am so even if I make you happy, I end up being happy because you are."

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"So many things. Loving me this much, being my sunshine in the clouds, the surprises and literally everything. Mostly this weekend, it means a lot to me because to be honest with you, I never thought I'd have this happiness in my life. With the way life keeps screwing me, I always knew happiness wasn't meant for me but you changed that mentality and for that, thank you so much."

"I can say the same for myself, I shared that mentality too but came to the realization happiness was meant for everyone. It's
