Do you the feeling of just being lazy for today and not do anything hit just stay in bed. Like hibernating,but only for one day. I feel like that ever since yesterday's incident.
I couldn't bring myself to forget about the incident.
Just as I was about to snuggle deeper into my bed and sleep a little longer my alarm rang which caused me to jump out of my bed.
Quickly with my ninja skills I went to off the alarm and walk to the toilet,shall I say the way that I walk is like how a zombie walks.
Then I felt someone spank my ass and kissed me in the cheek
"Good morning beautiful" hearing his voice makes me feel like I want to cry again. I just nodded and smiled as a reply.
Quickly walking into the bathroom I did my usual routine. After finishing up I walk out if the toilet to see my half naked husband changing. Most if the time I would stand there and look at him like he's a delicious meet. But I don't feel like it today.
I just walked past him and quickly went down the stairs to get my car key. Just as I was opening the door "Where you going honey?" It took all my energy to not scream at him and ask him to leave me alone for today so that I could think straight.
I turned around smiling at him and smiled at him " You know what, I've never really drive myself to work. I think I wanna drive. So maybe I'll go first ok." Before he could protest any further I quickly close the door and ran to the car.
I started the engines and put the music on full blast.
I took my phone out and dialled Justin's number. After two rings he pick up.
"Hey" I could hear a lot of talking from the background.
"Hey I'm just calling in to tell you that I won't be coming to work today. I'm having a really bad headache and a really bad flu.
"Ok no problem. Take care ok and drink lots of water" smiling at his caring tone I just feel like telling him every single thing that's on my mind right now. But then I barely know him.
"Yes sir" I said sounding like a soldier. I could hear him laugh at the other end.
As I hung up. I quickly sped up a little more to let my anger out. Not knowing where I was going. Driving aimlessly to no where particular,just to let out some steam.
As I was driving a little shop caught my attention. It's like a shop where they sell all those awesome vintage stuffs.
I parked my car infront of the shop and went inside. It was kinda empty if you don't count the sweet ol lady and some woman that seem to be at their thirties. I started to roam around the place and found a particular dress that really caught my attention. It's got the curve perfect for people with slim and nice body. Which I'm sure I'll never be able to wear.
As I was standing there looking at that beautiful dress I didn't notice that the sweet ok lady was standing beside me. " You know sweety. That dress would be perfect on you. You just gotta a lose a lil bit of these" she said while pinching my fats which cause me to yelp in pain. " Oh sorry dear, didn't meant to cause you any harm." she said giving me her sweet smile. I could never hate an old lady that's this adorable
" Nah,it's ok err..." I struggle to say anything cause I didn't know what her name was,i don't think calling her an old lady would be polite.
" The name's Betsy"
"Right,it's nothing to worry about Betsy. That dress wasn't meant for me anyways. it's far to nice for a girl like me."
" Nonsense. Your very beautiful inside and out. Don't let no little dress or anything make you think otherwise." as she said those words I couldn't help myself and broke down at that exact moment. "Oh deary,are you alright? Was it something I said?"
The last thing I wanted was to scare an old sweet lady like Betsy.
" No,no it has nothing to do with you. It's just that recently I found out that my husband has been cheating on me with his secretary." I could hear voice of shock from the woman's earlier.
"Let's gather up lady and comfort this poor thing" Betsy said while patting my back gently. Like a mother telling her daughter that it's ok to cry.
"So tell us everything. From the start to the bottom" a woman that had pink manicures.
So we all gather around in circles and I told them what happened.
-
"Aww that's awful. How could he do this to you." The pink manicured lady said who I found out is called Lorene.
"Here darling. Wipe those tears away" a woman with Australian accent said handing me a tissue. Her name was Esther.
"Do you want us to go find him and kick his balls for you?" Darcy a very huge woman that looks like a walking teddybear asked. I just laughed and shook my head.
" You know what it's ok. Thanks for listening. I am so sorry to bother you guys with my little crisis."
"Nonsense,girls gotta stick together" Betsy piped in which get a nod from each and everyone of us.
" Yeah but still thank you all very much" I said while looking at my watch and was shocked to see that I've been crying and talking with all this lovely ladies for 4 hours. Time does fly pretty fast. "Listen ladies I'm really glad to have meet you all. But I think I gotta go. Bye" before I left the shop,Betsy made sure we all exchange our number in case if I needed to talk to anyone. We hugged and said our goodbyes.
As I was driving back home. I was thinking that God has a weird way of making us feel better. When we're in so much pain he would find one or maybe more than a person to help us.
I feel lucky to have met Betsy,Darcy,Esther and Lorene. I know that this wasn't a coincidence.
When I got home I don't see any sign of Finn. I decided to cook dinner and wait for him to come back home. I've learned that I gotta fight for my husband instead of mopping around and do nothing.
Just as my eyes were failing me I heard the door open. I quickly stood up and went to the door to greet my loving husband.
"Hey honey! Your back!" I stopped dead on my track when I saw how tired he was,but there's a little lip gloss mark on his neck which he failed to cover.
"Yeah. Hey is that dinner I smell? I'm sorry babe. But I'm not hungry. how bout you eat without me. I'm gonna go up and get some rest. Goodnight" he gave me a peck on the lips before going up the stairs to sleep.
