                 Ding dong! The bell rings interrupting my dish washing. "Who is it?" I yell. "America's Florist" the unidentifiable person says. Open the door he and twelve other men have bouquets of red roses. "I have 12 bouquets for Mrs.Valentino?" the delivery man says. Hesitant at first because I know this has Vincent written all over it but I tell him "yes come in." Pulling up behind the rose catering, here comes Godiva Chocolatier. "Mrs.Valentino?" the delivery man asks. "Yes that's me, come in." Vincent knows that's my favorite. And last but not least, an all black Mercedes van pulls up. "Mrs.Valentino? We're massage therapists from Desert Rose Massage and Spa. Mr.Valentino set up a four hour appointment for you today." "Come right on hunny!"

This is exactly what I needed right now. Eating this delectable chocolate, surrounded by these vibrant fresh roses and getting a facial and manicure at the same time is everything I could ask for. I needed relaxation. But, I know Vincent only does this when he knows he fucked up. Why couldn't he just be real man. Why doesn't he fight for me. Fight for us. I think the funniest part is that I haven't heard or seen him since he left to be with that whore. God I couldn't believe he would do this but who am I kidding, this isn't the first, second, or eighty-ninth time he's cheated. Reliving the past tears form in my eyes. "Mrs.Valentino are you okay?" the masseuse asks me. "Um yes hun, can you pass me a tissue please?" I say trying to pull myself together. So much for relaxation . I try to find a new subject to think about to get my mind off the street . Ahh ! The baby. I cannot wait until my bundle of joy gets here. Seeing as though, I raised one to grow up perfectly fine, two that raise hell and one that's in her own little world, it just bothers me to see how this one will turn out. Hopefully he will give me the love and respect a mother needs. I just need to feel a purpose, I'm tired of feeling invisible. But most importantly I hope Mr.Valentino keeps his word with on taking care of his child, especially with the dark secret that'll come with this child.
