Family Man

Chapter 20

"You’re Such A Fucking Idiot"

“What did you say baby?” Michael looked up and stopped chewing his slice of bacon.

“I said we can discuss your affair with this night club tramp. Did you hear me now?” Teesha asked.

“Um.” Michael had a dumbfounded stare on his face. “I…baby… Um.” He stared as his words became non-existent.

“I’m waiting, Michael for you to tell me. How on earth you could lay up with some nasty bitch while I’m here taking care of your daughter? Huh? You’re supposed to be undercover.” She chuckled.” I guess, you were really under the covers.” She stood up throwing her entire plate in the trash.

“Teesh. I… I can’t even sit here and begin to lie to you.” He stood up and walked over to her.

“Michael, I advise you not to get too close to me. I’ve never used violence against anyone, but today is a different day.” Teesha exclaimed.

“I just want you to hear me out. Just give me the benefit of the doubt and at least try to hear my side of it. “Michael winced.

“Really?’ She laughed. “You want me to stand hear and not only listen to why you just had to screw this tramp, but you want me to try and understand? Michael you’re a very smart and calculated man, but I think you’ve just went a little insane if you think I’ll ever understand and give you sympathy for going outside our marriage.” She yelped.

“Ok. I mean…” He reached his hands out to touch hers.

“I told you do not touch me!” She staid sternly furrowing her brows at him moving backwards.

“I won’t touch you.” He looked. ‘Baby. I don’t know what made me. I… it just happened. I mean. I saw her and I don’t know.” Michael sighed.

“I can’t believe you.” She said as tears formed falling like a leaky faucet. “You had so much to say to this woman. You even told her you loved her. You talked about making love to her. You kissed her and groped her in ways you’d never done to me. I’m your wife and your lame ass excuse is I don’t know it just happened. Do you love her?” Teesha said wiping her face as more tears formed.

“Baby…” He paused as she talked over him. “Michael I’m Teesha to you. I’m not your baby. Just answer me. Do you really love this woman?” She questioned again

“Tessh.” He walked forward wrapping his arms around her

“Let me go!!!” She struggled to get away from him, but he held on tighter.

“I love you! Baby I love you and our daughter.” He held on tighter.” Just listen to me and you’ll understand.” He wrapped his arms tighter.

“Let me go!” She screamed finally getting away from his unwanted embrace. “I’ll never understand why you thought fucking another woman was alright with me.  And you have to love her, because you’ve avoided my answer twice.” She shrieked. “I can’t.” She exhaled hard as a loud whimper released. “How could you, Michael? How could you do this to me?” She cried.

Michael had the most pitiful look on his face. It tore him to pieces seeing her this way, but not knowing how she found out bothered him.  It was Chris he thought, but then Chris was in rehab and now he thought of Williams. He was the only other soul that knew of his affair. His thoughts haunted him briefly, but the cries from Teesha awakened him from his thoughts. “Baby.” He started to shed his own tears. “I never wanted to hurt you. Please, baby don’t cry. I swear, baby I never meant for it to go so far. I can’t blame what I did on anything or anyone. I was attracted to her and we became close. I knew when I kissed her the possibilities that could happen. I was selfish and didn’t try to stop it.” He exclaimed.
