An angry grin was then voiced out of me. I could not take it anymore; I won't let her disrespect me like that...After all these happy years. Why did she?

Smoke. All I wanted was smoke. I went for the cigarette on the pat. It was already halfway burnt when I placed it on my lips and took it in... I felt a little better. I looked away; the night seemed more troubled now. I needed to get out these emotions. I am feeling uneasy again. My breath seems to shorten and my eyes started to water again.

"Ri.........c.......h.....a....r.....d....."

She mumbles my name under her breath, I could feel that she is trembling now, and she was crying too. She softly come closer to me, reaching her hand...But I did not look back. It hurted so much to be with her in the room, feeling her, having had such an intimate time hours ago with her ...I can't look at her anymore....

WHO THE HELL IS SHE

I looked at the sky, my body away. She approaches again, Coming closer to the balcony,.

I moved my head sideways, cigarette to my mouth. I removed the cigarette and exhale.. I looked in the distance, and told her,

"I will be sleeping on the couch for awhile, I need to think, Have the bed. Good night ma'am."

I took the last sip of my cigarette.
