HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS & BABY MAKING MACHINES
Hashim and Johnetta’s incredibly close relationship began at age fifteen when they met in high school. He was infatuated with Johnetta and the two become best-friends and then quickly boyfriend and girlfriend. He asked her to be his girlfriend in a notebook, “check-yes-or-no” style. They were inseparable, much to the disapproval of their teachers and families who saw a corresponding decline in their grades as they spent more and more time together. As a young couple, everyone assumed that it was puppy love, however, twenty years later this insanely close couple is STILL together, has six kids, a house, vibrant careers and COULDN’T be any closer or more in love!
Hashim and Johnetta have been together for 20+ years, except for a brief, three-month break-up while in college. The couple first made it official when they were teenagers in high school in Boston where they each were born and raised. They graduated and went to different colleges in Boston. Hashim proposed to Johnetta while in college and the couple had a very long engagement while in separate schools. Their relationship came under pressure and criticism during this time.
The longer that they were engaged and nothing progressed in terms of a wedding, it made their relationship feel less and less serious and committed. Meanwhile, Johnetta’s mother gave her an ultimatum: she would have to wait until after college to get married if Johnetta wanted her parents to help pay for school. Additionally, with all of their peers saying that they each needed to date around, Johnetta and Hashim began to argue. They ended up breaking up and seeing other people during this time, while still being in contact with one another. It was an awkward time for the couple. He was seeing other women and she was seeing other men.
One day Johnetta felt extremely ill and had to go to the emergency room. Not knowing who else to call she asked Hashim to come with her. This encounter triggered the couple to re-visit what worked and didn’t work in their relationship and they decided to be together. Johnetta and Hashim agree that was the moment that they matured and decided to really “choose” each other and commit in a deep and serious way. They’ve been together ever since.
They spend every second together, whether they’re running errands, or on the toilet doing their business. When they can’t physically be together, they’re on the phone or on FaceTime – but Hashim’s real idea of spending time with Johnetta is actually spending time inside Johnetta.
Hashim and Johnetta are just as hot for each other now as when they were in high school, and maybe even more so! They have sex at least daily, more than that if they can find the time away from the kids (who know that when the bedroom door is closed, Mommy and Daddy are not to be disturbed under any circumstance!) Hashim and Johnetta also can’t control themselves in public and have to always be sitting next to each other and touching when they go out. They’ve even experimented with pleasuring each other while in public. The couple invested in a remote controlled vibrator that they inserted inside Johnetta. They went to Nobu (a very fancy Sushi restaurant in Malibu) and experimented with the device in public during dinner!
Hashim is an artist and painter who makes a living making sports related paintings as well as colorful murals across Southern, California. Johnetta is a stay at home wife, mom, and works to home school their six children. She has a background in education and was wary about putting her children in the public-school system. Several years ago, the family decided to move from Boston, their home town where they were each born and raised and try something completely different in Southern California. They said goodbye to all of their friends and family, and without knowing anyone decided to established roots in California, as there were more opportunities for their children and Hashim’s art. Johnetta didn’t want to put her children in the public-school system, especially without knowing anyone, so they decided to homeschool. Some of the older children show an interest in modeling, so having a flexible schedule also helps with the family’s VERY busy schedule.
Hashim is a very talented artist, but one of his favorite subjects is his wife. Because he has been drawing, sketching and painting her since he was in high school, he can paint her from memory. He knows every crevice, every line by heart. He loves her so much Hashim considers his wife his muse. He draws inspiration from her face and her body. Not only does he paint his wife, he PAINTS his wife! Yes, that’s right, he will also paint his wife’s naked body as an extreme act of love and art. He paints her body and takes photos and video. Hashim even wants to push the envelope of their love and use Johnetta’s bodily fluid, meaning her sexual vagina discharge, as a medium mixed in with paint and then painting with it, creating, “art.” Too much? For some yes, but not for this couple! Additionally, the couple admits that they haven’t both sketched each other while they are both in the nude- an exercise that they would love to try!
In fact, Hashim would love to do a gallery show of “their love story” that showcases all of the art of them as a couple. Being an artist is difficult enough, so often times Hashim does feel pressure to provide for his wife and children. But trying to be creative and make money can be a tall order.
To the detriment of their friends and family, Hashim and Johnetta always put each other before anything and anyone else. Both Hashim’s brother and mother, as well as other friends and family agree that they put each other first. They even admit to it! Their priority is their relationship, and then their children and then family and then their careers. It might make some feel left out, but that’s that way it has always been and will continue to be.
The physical evidence of Hashim and Johnetta’s love for one another is clear to see in the biproduct of their relationship…or six biproducts to be exact – in the form of kids running around, ages 1-9! Since they were in high school they always dreamed of having a big family and they did it. They home school six, young beautiful children. However, it’s not easy! During the birth of their first child, there were complications for Johnetta and the baby, requiring an emergency C-section. Her following pregnancies were deemed high-risk, and she’s had to have C-sections for each birth of their six children. The challenges from each subsequent pregnancy have only bonded this couple further.
The couple has BIG news! They just found out that their big family is going to get even bigger! Yes, Johnetta is currently pregnant with their seventh child! It’s huge news for this family. With Johnetta’s medical history, this seventh baby is also going to be high-risk. Because Johnetta’s mother, Elizabeth, is a nurse, it only makes sense for her to come out and help to take care of Johnetta while she is pregnant. There’s so much that can go wrong, pre and post-delivery (which is scheduled for the beginning of May 2024) having Elizabeth there can only help. Or can it?
Turns out that Hashim and Elizabeth do NOT get along. Hashim feels like Liz has never believed in Hashim’s dreams or plans for Johnetta and their life together. She has constantly doubted him and his ability to provide (even though he’s been able to make a beautiful life thus far.) The two can’t be in the same space for two long without fighting. Additionally, Hashim is a self-admitted “mama’s boy,” and wants his mother Pearl to be present to help with the kids when Johnetta is pregnant. Pearl and Elizabeth also don’t see eye to eye, especially because Hashim tells Pearl EVERY grievance that he has felt from Elizabeth.
But when Pearl comes to visit, it’s not just Pearl, she usually brings an “entourage” of other siblings. Although Hashim and Johnetta are happy to see other family members, it makes for a crowded house which adds stress and chaos to Johnetta and Hashim. Naturally, both Hashim and Johnetta want to have their mothers around, but the conflict it creates can cause issues and tension between them.
Hashim and Johnetta admit that their relationship usually suffers when family is around and that the best thing that they could have done was to move to the other coast so that they don’t have family telling them how to parent or how they should be as a couple. With family coming to visit will only test the relationship and resolve of Hashim and Johnetta’s love.
