Laila burst out laughing, unable to contain herself any longer. Ariana's serious expression was too much for her to handle. "Oh, Ariana, you crack me up!" Laila said between giggles. "I thought you were talking about something serious, but you're just referring to…sex. So all of this is because someone is horny?" Ariana blushed deeply, feeling embarrassed and exposed. Her face was as red as a lobster. "Yeah, I know it sounds silly, but it's true. Our physical connection has gone down the drain, and I miss the hot passion we used to have." Laila's laughter subsided, and she took Ariana's hands in hers, her expression turned serious, she understood how much Ariana loved Lawrence. "Look girl, relationships go through ups and downs, and it's completely normal to experience lulls in intimacy. But that doesn't mean the spark is gone forever. You and Lawrence just need to find a way to reignite it. You understand me right? Get freaky tonight baby girl." Ariana sighed, her gaze fixed on the

Ariana blushed, feeling a mixture of flattery and nostalgia at George words. It had been years since they had last seen each other, and the sudden reunion felt surreal. She couldn't help but notice the subtle shift in George's demeanor, and the flirty look in his eyes didn't go unnoticed."Thank you, George," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of shyness. "You're looking good too. It's incredible to see you after all this time. Do you work here?""No I don't.""Well, earlier when you kicked out that pervert, I honestly thought you were a bouncer.""Good God no.""You have really changed George."George chuckled, his smile widening. "Yeah, life has taken some unexpected turns since high school. But it's great to reconnect with old friends. So, what brings you here tonight?"Ariana took a deep breath, contemplating how much to reveal. She didn't want to burden George with her personal issues, but she also didn't want to dismiss the chance to confide in someone who seemed genuinel

Ariana nodded shakily. Her whole body shuddered when his breath brushed across her lips, and she closed her eyes and tilted her head back in a silent invitation. He kissed her, letting his tongue slide against hers. She moaned against his mouth and opened for him, allowing him access to her mouth. He broke the kiss and started kissing and licking every part of her face, tasting her salty perspiration and warm, slick flesh on his tongue before moving upwards to kiss her ear. He nibbled her earlobe teasingly before continuing his journey upward, kissing and licking every inch of skin he could reach until he was kissing along the length of her neck.He stopped briefly before returning back to his previous task. He heard her soft moan as he trailed kisses up to her jaw, then down the column of her neck. He paused just below her collar bone before trailing his tongue along her breastbone to her belly button. She squirmed underneath him, her breathing quickening. She ran her hands down his

Ariana nodded, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. She knew that she needed to protect herself from the judgment and complications that her current environment brought. She had endured enough pain and heartache, and now it was time for a fresh start, especially since her ex, Lawrence had been stalking her since their break up. At first he had gone around spreading rumors she was the one caught cheating and she had called off the engagement because of the guilt, but later on he began stalking her, constantly texting her on every social media platform, begging for another chance. She remembered one time when she ran into him at the mall."Ariana!" he had called out, his voice filled with desperation as he hurriedly approached her in the busy mall.She felt her heart race with a mix of fear and anger, but she mustered up the courage to face him. "What do you want, Lawrence?" she asked, her voice laced with determination.Lawrence took a step closer, his face pleading. "Please, Ariana, ju

Ariana's heart swelled with pride and love for her daughter. She crouched down to Sydney's eye level, her voice filled with warmth. "You already are, Sydney. You have strength, kindness, and a brave heart. That's what makes a true superhero."Sydney beamed, her face glowing with joy. "Thank you, Mama. I love you.""I love you too, my honey bee," Ariana whispered, her voice filled with all the love a mother could muster. "Ariana!" The home room teacher screamed out as she waved, she was busy handling other kids so she could not greet Ariana properly. "Don't forget to attend the PTA meeting!""Alright, Miss Johnson!" As Ariana settled into the car seat next to Sydney, she took a deep breath, trying to calm the remnants of her racing heart. She glanced at her watch, realizing that she had some unfinished business that needed attention. She needed to call Zoey to know how the rest of the meeting went."Sydney, sweetheart, can Mama make a quick call to her assistant? It won't take long,
