LOGINZane had been working 12-hour shifts for almost a month. He came home late almost every night, feeling slightly guilty that Janiya had to deal with the babies full-time by herself. She was such a good wife to him. She never complained unless she really had a good reason.His guilt about working so much was relieved when Janiya called to let him know she and the babies were staying with his parents for a few days. It was when she would send him pictures of herself, the babies, and his grandparents at the beach or in parks, having picnics.It was the end of the month, with only two days left before he was about to get a break. Zane was thrilled to be about to get some free time. Zane felt like it had been a long time since he had shown his Niya the kind of care and concern she deserved.Zane was confident that Janiya knew that he loved her to the ends of the earth. He sat at his desk as his wheels began turning; he began thinking about what he could do for her that he hadn't already don
"Perfect as always." He smiles, pleased. "You don't look like someone who just had twins.""Aw, thanks, babe." Janiya walks out of the room, dancing to the music. The thirty minutes flew by so fast. Zane was right on time through his jacket."What do you think of this outfit? It doesn't look too wild. I bought this for my babies.""Babe, that's cute. You even look hot in that cute jacket. Mi'an and Ji'an, how does daddy bird jacket look?" Janiya chuckled as the babies tried to take the bird off his shoulder.The doorbell rang, and when Li-ling opened the door, the house was lit up with noise and laughter. Zane introduces his family to the guys."Guys, this is my beautiful wife Janiya, and this is my pretty baby girl Mi'an, and my handsome son Ji'an. The twins are now one and a half years old."All the guys said. "Hello, hi, it’s so nice to meet you, Janiya.""Don't tell me your names," Janiya said, smiling."Xavier, right? I think we talked over the phone before.""Yes. It's so nice t
Cheerful laughter, a variety of good music playing, and the smell of delicious food filled the air. The Win household was about to throw a special party for some very special people who would be arriving in about an hour. Zane and Janiya were throwing a house party for their friends. Zane's bandmates finally came to visit the family and see Zane's wife and babies in person for the first time.The guys have been keeping in touch on Instagram and snapping chat photos of the babies and Zane playing with them. The band members never saw Zane look so happy. But Zane wanted the guys to come and see the family in person and spend time with him in China. Janiya was so happy this day; it was finally happening for Zane, and now she could see the band members in person. She has watched and shown the babies, who are now trying to dance more than walk, by watching daddy and band members in their videos.It was amazing how their daughter, who seemed to speak very clearly at 1 year of age. Mi'an wou
A taxi pulls up, and Zane gives the name of the hotel to the cabbie, who drives away. Zane pulls Janiya flush against him in the back seat. Her leg snakes over his as her lips finally land on his warm mouth. The fact that they're in the back of a cab leaves Janiya a little unsettled, but when she feels his tongue slide unhesitatingly against hers, all thoughts evaporate from their minds.Zane gripped a hold of her plumper hips and butt and lifted her onto his lap. Never breaking the connection of their mouths. When she wiggles against his rock-hard rod, Zane almost loses it. The friction is enough to drive a sane man out of his mind with delirium.“Your destination, Sir.”It takes them both a few seconds to process his words, but when they do, Zane pulls out a handful of bills and practically throws them through the window. Janiya let Zane lead them into the hotel building, and they walked towards the elevator.Quite a few people recognized them. “Oh, that’s Win Zane’s and his wife.”
It was time for Zane and Janiya to celebrate being a married couple once again—not that they ever stopped being married. With two new babies as a loving addition to the family, they had to give time to their two lovely babies, and Janiya’s body needed to rejuvenate itself.Two months have passed, and she had her last check-up at the doctor. He gave her the green light, and Zane gave him two thumbs up. The reuniting of what it means to be one in mind, soul, and body was ignited again. After being focused on their precious babies for the past 8 weeks, both of them have been faithful to one another in this celibate state. Janiya tells Zane one night when he comes home from work.“Zee, come here, baby.”“Yes,” Zane replied with a twinkle in his eyes as he gazed at his beautiful wife.“I just wanted to let you know just how much I admire you as a man. I know these two months have not been easy for you. But I respect you now more than ever for having self-control and staying loyal and faith
“But Elisa, they only eat the celebration congee rice and greens. Momma, you can’t cook fatbacks, fried chicken, and cornbread. You just can’t.”“Janiya, this is just food, sweetie. The food you love and grew up eating.”“I know, Mom, and I wouldn’t mind eating it after the 15-day celebration. But this food they prepare is in honor of their dead ancestors, and this celebration is also about the cleansing of the body.”Trice, Zane, and Mr. Win hear the commotion and come into the kitchen.Trice, after listening to the disagreement, says. “Momma, I told you she’s changed.”“What is that supposed to mean, Trice? I haven’t changed at all.”“Girl, you have lost your mind. You came to this place, now you think you're one of them!”“What?” Janiya sarcastically chuckled. “Boy, you don’t know what you’re talking about.”“Yeah, I know what I’m talking about. What’s the big deal if Momma cooks the food? We are not Chinese; it’s not our celebration, it’s theirs!”“You see you! You’re so disrespec
The man’s gaze shot from her hips to her face. The pen Mr. Lee held slipped from his grip and clattered onto the table as he looked up at her, his eyes wide and his words stumbling. “Is Zane trying to play a practical joke on me?”“Excuse me, sir,” Janiya replied, not sure what he meant.“Umm...how
Janiya lay back on the narrow mattress in her Changsha apartment, holding her phone between her shoulder and ear. Late afternoon sunlight streamed through the windows, painting golden stripes on the plain white walls. She grinned as Elisa’s familiar laughter crackled through the speaker, connecting
She hopped into a taxi at the airport and took a deep breath; it was time to put her language skills to the test. Speaking in Mandarin Chinese. Janiya says, “Good morning, sir. Can you take me to this address?”The man nodded and smiled slightly when he replied to her. “Yes, we’ll be there in 20 to
Janiya rode through the unfamiliar city, holding her purse tightly, worrying about what lay ahead, not knowing what to expect. The taxi neared the apartment building in Changsha, China. She wiped her tears and whispered, “Oh, my God! I’ve been saved! Miracles do happen!”Janiya knew she had no fami
