Once again you both got into it over what you cannot even recall, but you were ‘malicing’ for about two days until he finally came around and said he was sorry.

You try not to let it show, but you are thrilled because you knew you could not keep up the vexation much longer, as your birthday was around the corner, and you wanted to be pampered and feted thoroughly. You seal the deal with a good round of make-up sex, and you know it is the ‘I’m sorry’ variety because homeboy went all out and pulled out the bells and whistles, even incorporating some candles and massage oil. Oh, if every time can be that great!
