I wake up thinking about my woman. I brush my teeth and shower thinking about my woman. I make my breakfast and think of my woman. When I lay 4oe's food bowl down I think of my woman. When I'm home alone as Jaime goes for work, I think of my woman.
It's the same routine daily.
I need her so badly and I'm finding myself at a loss on how to function without her.
I hear jaime rush into the apartment with a frantic look on her face. I'm assuming someone pissed her off at work.
"Hey." I say as she appears at my doorway.
I'm sitting reclined at my bed with my laptop, as I've been crazy, emailing professors trying to get back on track on school since I missed a good amount of the semester.
Ive also been on the search for some new jobs. It hasn't been easy but it is inevitable.
What keeps me going is the fact that someday I will move past this with Normani. We will have our own place. I will get a great job that will provide for our home. Normani will be going to school like she's always truly desired to, and when things get tough I can be there for her, just like she's been for me. I absolutely am in love with her. I never thought that at my worst, I would meet someone who could turn my entire life around and be my light amongst the darkness.
Jaime finally responds to my greeting, "hi."
She can't hide her expression even if she thinks she can and tries her hardest.
"What's wrong?"
"Um, just work stress. I argued with a coworker and got a warning."
I smack my teeth. They honestly had to have pushed her off the edge because Jaime is way too relaxed to just tip over the edge.
"Yeah.... I'm gonna shower , then go grocery shopping. Wanna come with? I always see you in here. Maybe fresh air could do us both some good."
I look at her then back at my computer.
"Sounds good."
It's 3pm and I started since last night and picked it back up when I woke up at 9am. I could use a break.
"Aight, imma shower and in about 20, we can be on our way."
