Play No Games

Love Doesn't Mean.

"Mommy what time are we going to daddy's game? is daddy playing today?" my daughter Ava said. "I don't know sweetie its raining right now, but the game starts at 7:00 and its just 6:15 so we'll be there in time." I was putting my 10 month old son Logan in the car seat. "Mommy what does the word love mean?" I turned and looked at her wierd as she got in the car and put on her seatbelt. "Ummm. It means." I was kind of baffled at the question. "It means giving a lot of hugs and kisses." Ava was only 6 years old. She was too young to really understand the definition. "Ohh. So you and daddy love me a lot ugh?". I chuckled to myself. " Yes baby we do." "So daddy loves you too?" I thought really long and hard. Does he love me? I haven't seen him show me so much compassion or affection in so long. Me and my husband Jake Brown, you know the 3x NBA champion, 2x NBA MVP for the Houston Rockets. Yeah that's him. Well we had this really big fight last night on the fact that he just comes home when he feels like it, with me taking care of his two kids.

FLASHBACK
Last night at 2:47 a.m

"Jake where the hell have you been?" I got really nervous when he look at me without responding. "Hello? Where were you Jake" "Why the hell are you worried about it" he said with an attitude and raising his voice.I looked at him sideways and rolled my eyes. "You know what it doesn't even matter anymore. You don't care, so I don't care". I flipped the lamp back off and went back to sleep. "What the fuck you mean I don't care" he said while flipping the lights on, and taking the covers off of me. "I'm tired Jake just leave me alone and go to bed." I started to get agitated. " No! What the fuck you mean by I don't care". Jake had a vein popping out of his neck. I got out of bed and went towards our king sized bathroom . Jake followed behind me and grabbed my arm tightly to get my attention. I saw his face and immediately I got scared. "Jake let me go your hurting my arm." "Answer the goddamn question McKenzie!" I saw his eyes become with rage. "You don't care about me, the kids, or your marriage. You come in and do whatever you feel like doing towards me. How do I know you weren't just out there fucking some random hoe." Jake looked even scarier than before. He let me go and put his hands over his face. "I'm going back to bed." "McKenzie do you honestly think I'm cheating on you?"
FLASHBACK OVER
"Yes baby, daddy loves me very much" I looked in the rear view mirror and smiled at her. I couldn't let her know that anything is wrong in our relationship.
