CHAPTER ONE

I’m sitting in my room just staring out the window thinking, I been with this man a very long time. I’ve been with Leon since I was eighteen years old. We’ve had our share of problems but through the mist of it all I’m still here. He has made it home now I better get out this window and go fix him something to eat. He will be fussing and cursing, besides the fussing he really is a good man. I know he loves me, he wouldn’t be here if he didn’t. I’m not worried about all his side chicks calling and texting him. If they don’t get the picture, then shame on them.

I’m loving Leon from his head to his toes. Can’t nobody tell me this isn’t real love. I cooked his favorite meal. He’s walking in and he is smiling down. I looked at him and said love you big daddy, he said baby you know I love you too then his phone rung, he did what he always does leave away from the table. He goes all the way outside to talk on the phone.

I Cleaned his plate out, and cleaned my table and got in the bed. I guess he didn’t want to eat he been out there on the phone for hours. He came in the room after being on the phone that long and didn’t say not one word. Our baby girl came in the room and wanted her daddy to read her a book. His phone rung again he tells our baby to let her moma read the book, and he goes back outside. Yes indeed I tell you the truth his women more important than his wife and kids. It’s ok though I’m really getting tired of this.

He came in took his bath and went straight to sleep, I’m about to go through his phone and see what he really got going on. Since he can’t give us any attention. I go in the bathroom and check his phone while everyone is sound asleep, As I’m scrolling in the phone I see he been talking to a chick name Tasha on a regular. She is telling him don’t forget her car note and cell phone bill is due and she can’t wait to he come back over to her house and that she misses him already. That explain why he have no time for us, he can’t even pick the kids up from school when he gets off from work or if he off. I guess he can’t be too busy taking care that other woman and her kids. He got the nerves to only want to pay the light and water bill. When Leon and I first met he was paying all the bills. Soon as we got married, all that came to an end that’s how he ended up just paying the water and light bill. I guess he was slipping this time and forgot to delete his messages I never ever found anything in his phone until now. I knew it was something going on cause his attitude is bad now. The least little thing the kids does gets on his nerves now. They weren’t getting on his nerves when he kept making them.

I woke him up and asked him who is Tasha. Leon jumped up and hit me in my mouth I didn’t want the kids to be alarmed so I went in the bathroom and cleaned up and got on my side of the bed and laid down. Now all a suddenly he is now wide a woke. He really changed since the marriage. He leaned over and said baby I’m sorry but I don’t want you going through my phone. I said Leon that’s besides the point it doesn’t give you the right to hit me and you the one that’s cheating I should be hitting you. He keep saying he love me and he sorry he just want to make love to his wife. He made sure he told me not to check his phone again.

I’m up getting the kids ready for school, Leon is already gone and doesn’t have to be at work until nine o’clock and leaves out at five every morning. He really think that I’m stupid or just weak for him. I’m going to let him think whatever he wants to think. When I start doing me he not going to be able to take it, when the shoe is on the other foot. The kids are ready to go I guess I better drop them off and head to work, even though I hate that damn job. I have no other choice but to go. Leon would have a heart attack if I was to quit my job. Leon made me work a week before my due date with all three of our kids. He was very excited about our first born and we also had just got married, so everything was still fresh. Everything just changed all at once. I always tell my sister he never went anywhere so I must be doing something right.

I’ve finally made it to work two of the ladies I talk with is out, it’s going to be a boring day for real. But it has this fine ass man I work with he knows I’m married he is feeling me and I’m feeling him. Every now and then he ask me out on a date but he know I’m going to say no so he just keep trying. He always tells me that I love some Leon and he right. Only if Leon felt the same way about me. I’m praying things will go back like they were before. I called him earlier no answer I’m going to call his job on my break I know on Monday’s they be extremely busy. My poor husband be so damn tired it’s a shame. Leon be so tired we can’t even have sex he makes up for it though that’s why I don’t be tripping. Lord Leon such a nice-looking man. I guess that’s another reason I haven’t left him yet. I know that shouldn’t matter but I’m in love with that man.

I can’t believe that man lied like that I called his job on my break, and those people said Leon doesn’t work on Monday’s. My mouth just dropped so I asked that lady when did they stop working on Mondays she said the guys never ever work on a Monday. I’m so embarrassed and lost for words right now. I told that lady okay so fast and hung that phone up. I’m still calling him and he not answering, I can’t wait to get off from work. I only have one more hour left and it feels like the time not moving. I can’t believe this man, I know he’s a compulsive liar but this one took the cake. This man really had me fooled like Mondays are their hardest days, and here he doesn’t even work on Mondays.

I rushed and picked up the kids, went straight to the house. Leon car pulled in the yard like he just got off work. Any other Monday he wouldn’t make it home until after five o’clock. I got the kids out the car and told them to go start on their homework until I fix their food. Leon is on the phone as usual. So, I couldn’t wait until he get off the phone. I went outside where Leon were, he was still talking with his disrespectful ass I went ahead and asked him why he been lying telling me he works on Monday’s. The first thing he said is I told you not to check me about nothing I do. I’m trying to explain to him that he wasn’t answering his phone so that’s why I called his job. Before I could even say something else he punched me in my eye. He called me every name he could think of like always. Now he telling me he about to leave so I said okay let me help you out. So I ran in and packed his things and throwed them in the yard. He is grabbing his things and putting them in his car, now I don’t want him to leave. I must let him go to show him I mean business I watched him leave. Then I ran in and clean my face up I have a black eye. I don’t know what to tell my kids and my job. I can’t afford to miss work I won’t be able to pay my bills.

It’s been three days he still hasn’t called or answer his phone, I guess he’s where he want to be, my husband has really changed so much. At one time, he couldn’t get enough of me, now he acts like he trying to get rid of me, this relationship seems like it’s fading away. The kids has been asking about their daddy, so I called him to see what he is planning on doing about us. He said he cool with whatever happen in this relationship. He really doesn’t care about nothing anymore, at one time he didn’t want to hear nothing about us breaking up. I asked him who he been living with, he claim his brother but I don’t believe that at all. I just want him to come back home. So, he agreed to come back home he said long as I’m not with the foolishness I promised him I won’t be tripping.

Big daddy has made it home the kids and I was happy to see him, he is playing with the kids and helping them with their homework. So, everybody is happy again. Leon and I going to watch us some movies tonight, we haven’t done that in a while. When we first met we went to the movies all the time, we always went somewhere. I wish we can get back on track and start back doing the things we use to do. I’m willing to make this marriage work but it takes more than just that one person.

Leon and I are sitting on the sofa the kids are sound to sleep, we are watching movies I’m really enjoying myself with the love of my life. Leon phone is ringing at three o’clock in the morning. He gets up and leave out the room goes to the patio, I waited for him to close the door, now I’m listening to him talking to a woman. He is telling her that he is still staying with his brother and that he wish he could live with her but he doesn’t want his wife coming to her house with no mess. Before he hung up he told her he would call her in the morning when he leaves out for work then he told this women that he love her. He came back in and sat down, I asked him who was that he gave me this real ugly look, only if looks could kill I would’ve been dead. Now he is talking all crazy talking about don’t ask him nothing about his phone and he does what he wants to do. He went on and on about it, then he said long as I’m here with you don’t worry about the next. We kept watching t.v. like nothing ever happened. I’m not even interested in this movie right now, my mind is in a million places right now, how could someone that supposed to love you treat you like shit.

CHAPTER TWO

It’s been a whole month and Leon and I haven’t been fussing or nothing. I been enjoying every little bit of him taking the kids to school and picking them up from school. Even though he still wants me to believe that he works on Mondays, I’m not going to even worry about the Monday situation just hope everything remains the same. It almost feel like we just met. He been taking me out on dates, it’s really been all about me. He won’t even let me breath. I’m not taking this for granted because some men change everyday and he one of them. He just doing this to make me fall deeper for him, I must admit he is doing a good job. My friend Christy been calling trying to tell me Leon doing this and doing that. I’m not even trying to hear what she trying to say, I think she just a little jealous.

Our baby birthday is tomorrow she’s turning five, Leon rented her a horse so her and the kids could ride on. He hasn’t really been participating in none of the kid’s parties he barley wanted to be around. I’m not complaining now that he trying to be a good husband and a great daddy, even the kids see a big change in him. We are having a blast at the baby party. My husband is playing with the kids putting them on the horse. My coworker MS. Kim said girl you know you have a very good husband. I said yes, I does have a good man, to bad every woman can’t say that. Kim and I just started laughing, now here come Christy bringing the baby
