MARCUS
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, so, she decided to tell Nick about Samuel. She even called him her son’s real father, like I was nothing but a replacement. I saw how tired she was, and I went to call the masseuse, I had booked for her, Lupita, grandma and Jennifer.
I wanted them to relax and be pampered. She and I had a long way to go when the baby arrived. I wanted to spoil her now before all our time was taken by the baby. I guess, she was eager for her and Nick to get back together. Maybe I was just wasting my time trying to show her that only wanted to be with her.
1 turned back without saying a word going straight to our room. I laid down staring at the celling as if it was going to provide me with answers or great wisdom on how to deal with what was happening. I didn’t know how long I laid there for when the door opened.
My beautiful wife walked in, and I could not help but take in the sight of her, she looks radiant but the look in her eyes was distant and sad. What could Nick have said to make her sad like that. didn’t the man get enough of abusing her?
Tsk! What did I know? She wanted to go back to him even with everything the man has put her through, I guess whoever said that love is blind was right. But I loved the woman with all my heart. How could I just sit back and watch her suffer like that?
“Why did you call Nick?” she glanced at me, no emotion whatsoever on her face. “Why did I find you tickling that woman when you promised to keep your distance and adhere to normal boundaries of a married man?”
Okay, I didn’t expect that, did I maybe cause this? I sat up. She wanted to eat an unhealthy sandwich when I found her. I offered to cook her something healthy and that is how this whole thing started. We didn’t plan it. we were talking and it ended up there. I am sorry…”
She cut me short. “Your apologies are beginning to sound exactly like Nick’s, they don’t change anything but make me angry. We spoke about this before and you apologized and promised it was never going to happen again. But instead, it accelerated. Now you are playing together like old friends.”
The issue might be deeper than I thought, what was going on with my wife, did I do this, did I make her this way? I patted the place next to me. “Come here.” She hesitated but eventually came and sat down. “Tell me what is going on?” for the first time since I have known her, she glared at me.
Which got me extremely worried. “Didn’t we talk about keeping clear boundaries with her? you promised that you would but now this?” I would have to tread lightly here; she was mad and disappointed at the same time.
“We did talk about it, but we didn’t do anything wrong, love.”
“That’s how it started with Nick and Sandra. Innocent little things, cooking together, spending more time together then next thing I know, I am neglected, misunderstood, not loved or cared for. I have been through it all.” My heart ached. She was comparing me with Nick.
Was I doing what he did? “I didn’t know you felt that way.” She chuckled. “How could you have known when you no longer talk to me, ask me how my day was, if everything is okay with me.” did I really stop doing all that? I didn’t even notice.
Maybe she was right, maybe I was too excited about the baby that all my attention got focused on Jennifer and neglected my wife and son. Was that why she called Nick? To tell him about Samuel because I was failing as his father.”
That stung, I never thought I would be like my father. I was neglected to a point that I didn’t even know the mar
