That Girl

The Wife

I walked into this house and it looked amazing. Everything and I mean everything was so beautiful and it gave you home like feeling. I understand why this lady wanted kids, they bring life. So they say. If kids brought life into a home then why am I not a part of my family's home? Why was I left at the doorsteps? Can someone answer that question for me? I didn't think so.

I stared and watch as this man walked into what seemed to be the kitchen. I wanted to follow but I was afraid, so I stayed near the door just in case. It never hurts to be safe. As I looked around, I kind of sensed someone was looking at me but I didn't want to be scared so I didn't bother.

...

I walked into the kitchen and used the back stares into the study and walked into the bedroom. I looked for her. Sigh. I couldn't help but think what does a woman such as herself do in this big house? I'm not going to lie I want kids but I'm not going to kill me self for that. I should have thought this through when I was buying this house. I remember when we lived in our apartment

"Baby?" she came in walking belly a bit poking out of her shirt.

"Yes love?" I stared at her in awe.

"Can we move?"

"Why you don't like this apartment?" I said with a smile on my face.

"I do love this but I want a nice house. So that this future you can have a nice place to call home" she looked down at me with this look in her eyes.

"Well we will get a nice house so this mini you can be happy." I stood up and kissed her. That week we found a house and move in and that same month we lost our first child.

Life has it up and downs. We have been married for ten years now, still I feel like I'm alone. I got off the bed and turned to see my wife standing at the door.

"So Khi"

"Yes Hun" I feel as if we are going to argue but what could we possibly argue about? A.J?

"Oh now I'm your Hun. Ha that's funny"

"How was your day babe?"

"Oh now I'm babe?"

"Hun did you see A.J.?

"Oh the thing has a name"

"Come on Hun, you don't even know her yet; you chose to call her a thing. Well that "thing" needs something called love and I know you could give it to her"

"What makes you think she wants love Khi? What makes you think I could love her? I don't even love you, let alone myself?"

"Well you can try, all I'm asking is that you try. Please" I said with sadness in my voice. I can't believe she would say this but then again she has a point.

I walked out of the room.

...

I hate this man so much. How could this idiot think I could love this child? Is this man out of his mind? I had to marry an idiot. Ughhh. Then he had the audacity to walk out. He is so lucky that we have a guest down stairs. I would have showed him what a crazy black women looks like.

I went down stairs to see this thing he calls a human being. I know I sound mean but can you blame me? My husband, My partner in crime, My World went behind my back and adopted. He knows we can't have kids but he refuses to let that down. But can you blame him? Sigh. What happened?

As I push the kitchen doors which opened into the living room I see this child. She looks five one, has brown curls, looks overweight, and has buggy clothes. I stare at her until I get her to look at me. When she looks directly at me she turns her face. I chuckled.

"So you must be the little girl that Khi went against my back and picked up" I said to her trying to get on her nerves.

"Well I guess I am" she replied still not looking at me.

"Well since you guess, I guess that you need somewhere to stay since you don't have any family or no one to love you, so to say."

"I guess so"

"Well he told me your name but I know you won't last in my house, so I will call you thing for now. I hope you don't mind? I said sounding a bit sinister.

"I do mind. I don't care if it's your house. When you think about it, its mister Smith who allowed me and I will allow him to push me out."

"Look here little girl-

"Look here lady I don't have time for your crap. By the way the name is A.J. Anderson." and with that she walked out of the house.

....

Why marry a witch? Why bring me here? I kept thinking. I walked out and I don't know where I am going. I remember when we were driving up here I saw a place, a park I think it was and I will look for it.

I walked and walked until I reached the park, I guess and when I got there it was empty and the night came upon me.

Sigh.

Why me? This lady hates me. Her husband wants me. Honestly I don't know why he is still with her. Maybe he loves her? Is there such a thing as love? I mean my grandparents loved me as their own because I'm family, but is there such a thing as love. Where two people come together and get into a relationship and gain this thing called love. I don't know.

I looked at my surrounding to see if I can find a place to sleep for now. There is a nice spot under the kid's playground, let's see if anyone really cares. I crawled under the slide and curled into a ball and let sleep take over me. At least I'm safe there.
