The Colors of Life (Sequel to The Color of My Skin)

"Long time no see"

"Babe. Come on. Time to get up. The appointment's early."

"Hmm?", I mumbled.

"The marriage counselor. The appointment is in an hour."

I threw off the covers. I walked unsteadily towards the bathroom.

Jacob then pressed me against the wall.

"I love you.", he said as he was about to kiss me.

"Jacob I have morning breath. Who wants to kiss that?", I asked.

"Me.", he said as he tried to kiss me.

"No.", I said I walked to the bathroom.

I shut the door.

I turned on the cold setting as I stood under the freezing water.

Grabbing my towel, I wrapped it around me and proceeded my daily hygiene by brushing my teeth.

Stepping out the bathroom, I went into my closet, ignoring Jacob's stares, grabbed some short shorts, an American Flag t-shirt, and my combat boots.

I grabbed my red bra and panties.

I began to walk back to the bathroom.

"You can't change in here?", Jacob asked me.

"No.", I said.

"Why not? We're married."

"Because we need to go to this marriage counsel and I don't want you having other thoughts because you saw my body and realize that's the only thing you want in me."

"Babe. We've been together for a long time. You'd think if I only wanted you for your body I'd get someone with more boobs and ass.", he scoffed.

I whipped around.

"Excuse you? Are you saying that you'd rather have some other woman's body then mine? Well who's fucking stopping you Jacob!", I yelled.

"No babe I didn't mean it like that. Your just being paranoid."

"Paranoid? Oh really Jacob? Are you trying to bring down my confidence? Your an ass. Go fuck some other skank's body since that's what you want. You want a pair of watermelon boobs then you can have them."

"Baby I just want you! Your being crazy!"

"Oh I'm fucking crazy! I'm crazy! Yes me! Mya Perez! I'm the crazy one! You can go to hell Jacob. And you can take your skank with you!"

"Your the only one for me baby!"

"Oh so I'm a skank with small boobs now Jacob?! Is that what your saying?"

"No I-

"Fuck you.", I said as I slammed the door.

I walked to the bathroom furious. Slamming the door behind me, I quickly dressed.

Jacob was waiting by the door. I grabbed my keys and headed out with him. I avoided eye contact with him. Jacob headed in his car as I walked towards mine.

"Where you going?", he called to me.

Ignoring him, I went inside my car and started the ignition. He did the same as I waited for him to drive off. Following suit, I drove behind him.

The place was surprisingly close. It was in an Oak Grove area. I remembered this place from my childhood. Even the center where I used to mentor little kids. That put a smile on my face.

Jacob parked right in front of it.

Oak Grove Center.

Extremely astounded by this, I couldn't believe I was going to enter my childhood place. I didn't want to ask Jacob what we were doing here because I was suppose to be angry at him.
