"My MaRiLyn..."

26.

Marilyn just took a shower and is in my t-shirt which looks really good on her. Her hair wet but not drippy and she is taking sips from the hot tea that I made her. She is silently sitting in the sofa and so am I. I am looking at her waiting for her to tell me whatever happened between her and Richard. But she's not telling me anything.

I suddenly speak up,

"How are you feeling? How's your leg feeling now?

"Uh,it still hurts but I'm fine thank you," she says to me softly.

"Does he do that to you all the time?"

"Who?" She asks pretentiously.

"You know what I'm talking about," I say to her.

"Yes. But it is not all the time," she says defensively. She's trying to defend her stupid husband.

"He hurt you. There is no need for you to defend his dumb ass!"

"Don't call my husband that,Timothy. Don't insult him," she sternly informs me.

Okay,whatever.

There is silence between us now. But she speaks up,

"He is seeing somebody else," Marilyn says with pain in her voice. I feel bad yet good again.

We can also play this game too. She should cheat on him too and well,he won't find out because women cheat better than us men. Women cheat for revenge while men cheat for lust.

"When did you find out about this?"

"Ever since I had the twins, Madison and Reese," she is broken. Tears begin to roll down her face.

"How old are the girls?" I curiously ask.

"Nine. They'll be ten in September. You should come to the party," she says wiping her tears and trying to make the moment light for her.

"I hate parties," I tell her and she chuckles.

I smile. I get up from my seat and take a sit beside her. She looks at me and suddenly caresses my cheeks with her soft hands.

"Thank you for being kind to me even when I'm an arrogant person," she says.

I am nervous. I hope we make out though.
"No need to-" I am cut off by Marilyn's soft lips on mine. She is kissing me.

I don't kiss back,I'm in shock. Marilyn stops the kiss and gets up from the sofa. She is mortified.

"I am so sorry,Timothy. Gosh! What was I thinking?" She is panicked.

I get up from the sofa and I kiss her back.

We both engage in the kiss and I have never felt this good before in years but hey,this is a start and its with My Marilyn.

The door suddenly opens and its Ciara. She stops in her tracks as she sees Marilyn and I kissing. She's dumbfounded.

"Oh,I didn't know you had company," she says and this stops the kiss me and Marilyn are sharing.

Marilyn looks at Ciara and the laugh Ciara bursts out startles me. Geez!

"Hi,Marilyn! I didn't know you were hooking up with the new neighbour." Just the sarcasm in her tone.

Marilyn rolls her eyes at Ciara and puts down the cup on the table.

"He's not new anymore,Ciara," Marilyn says with crossed arms.

"Oh,so you are hooking up?" Ciara asks. She looks upset. That's new.

"I am married, Ciara,"

"But you we're just eating each others faces off! What do you call that!" Ciara is now annoyed.

Furious! Why though? Does she like me?
