A Night To Remember

Chapter 7: Angela

Since I didn't have to work, I had the rest of the day to do whatever I wanted. I decided to plan a romantic dinner for my man. We planned earlier to have a meal together. But I'm going to make it more meaningful. With Terrance working overtime, I had until eight pm to get everything done. I was going to cook Terrance favorite meal; meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes, collard greens, and buttermilk biscuits. I made a quick run to the flower store, bought two dozen red and white roses. I put the roses in a glass vase. Then I placed the vase in the center of the table. Lit some apple and cinnamon scented candles in the kitchen and checked the time.

It was six pm. Dinner was done and the kitchen was set. Now I gotta get myself looking fabulous. I went upstairs to the bedroom. I found a cotton red sleeveless dress. Quickly took a shower with Victoria's secret's Very Sexy fragrance. Then I slipped into a pair of four inch red heels. I went back downstairs and sat at the table. Eight o' clock passes, my eyelids were becoming heavy. Nine o' clock came and there was a knock on the door. At this point, I was irritated.

"Use your key!" I shouted.

Terrance unlocked the door and walked in. With a confused look on his face, Terrance asked,

"What's all this?"
"Babe, don't you remember? We had plans for dinner." I complained.
"Oh no, I forgot. I'm sorry babe. Wow, this is really nice." Terrance replied as he walked in the kitchen and looked at the food.
"Well, at least eat with me. I waited a long time for you to come home." I pleaded.
"I don't think so. I ate earlier. So, I'm kind of full. I'll take a biscuit though. You make the best biscuits." Terrance replied and shrugged his shoulders.

He took a biscuit, quickly kissed me on the cheek and went upstairs. I was so mad at Terrance, my blood boiled. I kicked off my heels and ran after Terrance. I found Terrance in the shower. While Terrance took a shower, I snatched a pillow and cover then threw it down the stairs. I got undressed and put on a long purple t-shirt. I crawled under the covers and squeeze my pillow tight.

When the shower water stopped running, I heard Terrance climbing in the black silky covers. I turned to him and pushed him out of the bed. Terrance landed on his butt.
"Hey, girl! What's wrong with you?" Terrance yelled as he stood up.
"When you become the man I used to know and loved, then you can sleep in this bed. Until then, there's a pillow and cover waiting for you, downstairs." I said and pointed to the door.

"Baby, I said I was sorry. C'mon now. " Terrance begged.
"GO DOWNSTAIRS, TERRANCE!" I screamed.
"Fine!" Terrance yelled and slammed the bedroom door behind him.

I put my hands on my face and cried myself to sleep.
