A Rose for Everafter

Chapter 3

The next morning I was hoping to see Johnathan laying next to me but all I see is an empty space. I grab my phone to call him. The phone begins to ring and it continues to ring. No answer. I climb out of bed and go into the bathroom and began to pee.
After peeing and wiping I brush my teeth and wash my face. I walk out the bathroom and walk downstairs to see my husband played out on the sofa. I walk to him and begin to wake him up. He looks up at me and turns the other way and goes right back to sleep. I stand up and walk into the kitchen to fix breakfast.
As I was cooking breakfast a lot of things was going through my mind. I wanted to have fun. I miss my marriage and what it used to be. I wanted excitement. As I was day dreaming I was startled by my husband wrapping his arms around my waist.

Good morning beautiful. He says to me while kissing me on my neck.
He knew that was my hot spot and I started to moan. He began to lift my dress and reach into my panties. Just before things could really get started his phone rang. He quickly answered it and walked away. I sighed in disbelief. I rub my hand on my forehead and sat down in the chair.

He walked back into the kitchen to tell me that he had to take a trip to California. He ran upstairs to pack his bags and I stayed in the kitchen to clean up. I walked upstairs to him shuffling around to find his things.
Hey babe, where is my tie, you know the one with the gold and navy blue stripes. He asks me.

Top drawer. You would know that if you helped around the house a bit. I say with an attitude.

Not today Alice, I'm in a rush. He says

Well maybe I don't want you to go. Maybe I just want you to be here for me. I say

I can't always be at home. I can't make money laying on my ass all day. He says.

I'm not saying you have to lay on your ass all day, I'm saying just spend a little time with me. I say

Alice, I don't have time for this can we talk about this when I get back. He says to me rushing past.

When are you going to be back anyway. I ask him while folding my arms.

In 2 weeks at the most. He says to me when nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders.

TWO WEEKS AT THE MOST!! So what am I going to do at home for two weeks at the most. I say while speeding behind him.

You have girlfriends go do something with them. He says while packing the last item in his suitcase.

He grabs his things and walk toward the front door. He looks around trying not to forget anything. When he realizes that he for everything he opens the door and walks out. I walk out behind him as he packs the trunk with his things. He glances at me one last time and walks over to me and gives me a kiss. He walks back over to his car and gets in. He starts it up and backs back and leaves with me standing outside wondering is my marriage really what I thought it would be.
