The Housewife

Chapter 2

  I wake up before the sun rises to make breakfast. Once I step out of bed I feel quite sick, I shrug it off and continue with what I was doing. Suddenly, I felt overwhelming sick and ran toward the bathroom. I threw up in the bathroom, The last time I was this sick I was pregnant with my youngest. I was wishing that I wasn't pregnant again, the kids are slightly overwhelming now I couldn't imagine another one. I felt despair just thinking about having to cook, clean, take care of a baby and three other kids, on top of having a lazy cheating husband. 

 I threw up again, I wanted to cry but stopped myself. I got up and clean myself off and finished preparing breakfast. My husband woke up first so I started preparing his plate. One egg, two bacon, one strawberry jelly toast. I place his plate on the table and walk away to wake up the kids.  

 I ring the bells and the kids wake up come from their rooms. "Food is ready, eat and get ready for school." The kids sluggishly walk to the dining room to eat. I follow behind them and sit across my husband. He looked happier and excited and kept watching the time.  A bell sounded and my husband jumped up from his seat. "You haven't finished your plate." His plate was half finished. 

 "I have work they informed me yesterday that they needed me." He stated before walking out the door. He was supposed to be off today, I didn't believe him for a second. He was probably off to see Jasmine, the wench across the street. I let out a sigh the boys got up from the table and went and got ready for school. Elizabeth my middle daughter, still haven't finished eating.

 "Elizabeth, is something wrong?" She just continued to play with her food without saying anything. I was starting to worry she wasn't in her cheerful mood as usual, she usually outside by now and waiting for her little crush to show up. I ate my last bacon and started to gather together the boys dishes. The boys came back into the dinning room. The boys said their goodbyes and went off to school. 

 Elizabeth let out a sigh and started to tear up. I quickly sat down and sat next to her and hugged her. I rub her head and ask her what is wrong again. She didn't answer again but just cried, I wanted to help her in some way but I didn't know what was wrong. "Whatever is wrong, you can get threw it, cause your a strong girl."

 "why can't he like me back?" I heard the pain in her voice. I stayed silent thinking about how to reply.  I moved her hair from her face.

 "Boys are boys, you can't control someone else mind and feelings. I can't tell you why he doesn't like you. There is nothing wrong with you, so don't think there is. He just isn't the boy for you, It may happen in the future it might not. Remember there is someone out there for you." 

  She wiped her tears and hugged me back. "Thank you mom your the best." She grabbed her fork, I let her go and got up. I went back to the sink and started washing the dishes.  "Would you like to go to retrieve vegetables with me later?" Elizabeth perked up at the question her usual excited demeanor coming back. She immediately agreed, and put her plate in the sink. 

 She left the room and went into hers. I realized today was the last day for the boys. Elizabeth finished her schooling three days ago. Luckily my father taught me what he learned in his school time, so I was able to give her a decent education.  

I felt quite tired, I wanted to lay down. "Elizabeth, I'll be going to take a nap now, we will go retrieve the vegetables once I wake." I went to my room and laid down falling into slumber.

I looked around the forest, it had an enchanting glow to it. I felt relaxed, birds were chirping, the winds was blowing it was all surreal. My hair swayed with the wind, the grass felt comforting against my feet. The more I listened the more I heard, running water, bunnies hopping, and trees swaying with the wind. I walked threw the forest looking for the stream of water.

 I stopped once I saw baby bunnies playing, they spotted me and hopped away. I continued on my path to the stream, once I found the streamed I pulled up my dress I dipped my feet in the water. I heard a splash in the water I looked up and seen a deer, the deer just stared back at me and went back to drinking the water. I felt something brush against my foot and seen a fish, the fish was a pale pink color, it had a soft glow to it. The sunlight on the water made the water sparkle. 

 The sun was starting to set and the sky darkened. There were green lights flickering from the fireflies. The moon reflected on the water, and its light glisten against the river. I felt something jump onto my hand. I looked down to see a small jumping spider, it's big eyes looking at me. I lift the spider to my face and it just stared at me before turning away and jumping off to where ever.

 I looked to my left when I heard a branch snap, I was surprised by what I saw. It was a man around 6'4 he had on quite a nice suit but no shoes. His hair was extremely long I'd say butt length, it was silky black and reflected the moon light. His eyes were low and small, his jaw was sharp and his lips were plump. This man has invaded my dream and I quite like it.

"Alexander?"
