Secret affairs

Chapter Eleven:

I wake up to Wendy watching me. I say, " Did you have fun watching me sleep?"

" Yes because you look like an angle."

" That's sweet but are you saying that I don't always look like one?"

" You do and that is one of the many reasons I love you so much."

I sit up and get my guitar which I had named Ninna.

I start singing.

" Baby last night was hands down
One of the best nights
That I've had no doubt

Between the bottle of wine
And the look in your eyes and the Marvin Gaye

Then we danced in the dark under September stars in the pourin' rain

And I know that I can't ever tell you enough

That all I need in this life is your crazy love

If I never get to see the Northern lights

Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night

Oh if all I got is your hand in my hand

Baby I could die a happy woman yeah

Happy woman, baby
Mmmmm

Baby that red dress brings me to my knees

Oh but that black dress makes it hard to breathe

You're a saint, you're a Goddess, the cutest, the hottest, a masterpiece

It's too good to be true, nothing better than you
In my wildest dreams

And I know that I can't ever tell you enough

That all I need in this life is your crazy love

If I never get to see the Northern lights

Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night

Oh if all I got is your hand in my hand

Baby I could die a happy woman yeah

I don't need no vacation, no fancy destination

Baby you're my great escape
We could stay at home, listen to the radio
Or dance around the fireplace

And if I never get to build my mansion in Georgia

Or drive a sports car up the coast of California

Oh if all I got is your hand in my hand

Baby I could die a happy woman

Baby I could die a happy woman
Oh I could die a happy woman
You know I could girl

I could die, I could die a happy woman."

" I love how you changed ever part that said man into woman."

" Well that's how I roll."

She smiles and kisses me and I kiss her back.

An hour after that Tammy had called and asked if I wanted to hang out with her and Lily. I had told her yes.

She is picking me up now. She gives her mom a hug and introduces her to Lily.

We then leave and head to the beach. We go swimming. They are to flirty for my liking so I just hangout by myself.

Soon we are leaving and I couldn't be happier.

****

That night I start to get sick. Wendy says, " Where did you guys go today?"

" We went to the beach."

" Well that explains it. You are sick because of the cold water. I can't believe you went along with those crazy kids."

" Well I wish I hadn't because they were to flirty and now I'm sick."

" I'm taking off work until you get better."

" You don't have to."

" I know but I want to."

I nod because I know I will never win this argument.

****

The next morning Wendy brings me breakfast in bed. I eat and then she gives me medicine.

Dylen starts crying so she goes and takes care of him. She isn't going to bring him in here and I don't want her to. I don't want to get the little man sick. I fall back asleep.

****

When the kids get home Wendy tells them I am sick. They walk into the room and wake me up. They hand me cards that say get well soon. I say, " Thanks kids."

They nod and they try to play doctore. I say, " Hey guys can you please leave me alone."

They run out crying and I feel bad. I hear Wendy say, " Well she is sick and wants to be left alone so don't mess with her. Lucy watch Dylen."

She walks in. I say, " Sorry I didn't mean to be mad with them."

" I know but they shouldn't have been messing with you. There is nothing to be sorry about because they know better."

I nod and we cuddle.
