Loved The Right Way (My Husbands Best Friend)

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Lamar dropped Little L off around 4:20 pm. Lamar came in and sat down on the couch and looked around.

"So, did you get my messages?"

I shook my head and rolled my eyes up. "Yes, I did," I said as I stood there with the front door open. I looked at Little L and said, "Lamar, baby to your room, please."

"Okay. Mommy," he said as he went to his room.

"Why didn't you respond to any of my texts or calls?" he said as he leaned back in the chair."

"What is wrong with you? Why are you acting like you even care? You have Crystal and your other women, and the only reason you are acting like this is because you don't have me at your heels anymore."

"No, I'm acting like this because you are my wife, and I love you."

"Please, get over yourself. I will not be your wife too much longer."

"Like I said before, you are always going to be my wife. I do love you. No one, not even you, can tell me that I don't. I know that I do some fucked up shit. I'm trying to right my wrongs. I'm going to be honest with you. Seeing you with homeboy really messed me up in the head. I started thinking really hard about how I messed up everything that we had. I was wondering if we could maybe go and see a couple's therapist, you know to see if we could work things out?"
Yes, he pulled that card. "I don't know," I said as he choked me up.

"I have never asked you to go to therapy before. I have a therapist's number and everything. Someone at my work recommend him to me. They say that he is very good. Please say that you will think about it?"

"I just can't end a relationship based on what ifs because you are jealous. It doesn't work like that. I have given you plenty of chances to come back home. Each time I have found out about another woman that you have slept with or engaged to or whatever. I can't do that anymore. You really crushed my heart.

"I'm not expecting that. You can continue to date; I don't care who you date. I just want a chance to prove to you that I am trying to change.

Okay, I knew something is wrong. He doesn't care who I date. What is that all about? "I'll tell you what. I'll think about it."

He stood up and walked over to me and hugged me and said "Thank you. That is better than nothing." then he kissed me on my forehead. "I swear if you do this, you will not regret it."

I looked at my watch " It is almost five." Little L and I are supposed to be looking at movies by now.

"Okay, no problem. I will leave then."

"You'll leave. What's going on? No smart remark or anything." I said as the confusion set in more.

"I told you that I want you back, and I will do anything to get you back. I really want to change, and I want you to know that I am for real about this. So, I guess that I will see you in a couple of days." he said as he started toward the front door.

"Yeah," I said. He acted as if yesterday didn't happen at all. "Okay, I guess so." then I closed the front door after he walked out.
