*Marilyn's Point Of View*

It's been a week since I last heard from Michael. At first I was relieved because he needed time to cool off. But Once I got the call from Channing about his and Michael's conversation, I knew exactly why he disappeared. I don't understand him at all. One minute he wants to talk about the kid's. Next minute He's flirting with me, then he's arguing with Channing. He is out of hand. I just want to figure out the problem other than our relationship. So I suggested couples therapy. Well Yuli did. I questioned on the fact of 'couples' therapy. She shook her head and told me to trust her. Knowing Yuli; she is right. Therefore I called Michael about the idea. Of course he ignored my call. He can be a drama queen when he wants to. My next problem was trying to convince Channing to come also. It actually wasn't that hard. He agreed, only of Michael promised to behave. Knowing I couldn't make any promises, I told him it's better he stay and watch the kids. He reluctantly agreed. So now I'm on my way to the therapists hoping Michael won't show me up.

*Michael's Point Of View*

"Michael when are you going to give me a straight answer? ", Evelyn questioned following me as I packed my bag for the third time this week. "How many times have I told you I'm here for the baby...that's it", I said sternly.  She rolls her eyes. "Once this baby comes she better be out of the picture Michael... ", She demanded walking away. "She already has another man fucking her... what other reason do you need to realize she's over you", I glare at her. "I'm getting really sick of your mouth! Leave her out of the conversation! ", I snapped. "Keep her out of our lives Michael! ", "There is no 'our' ", I snarled walking out of the door. I hate when she bad mouth's Marilyn. No matter what happens I'm still and always will be in love with Marilyn. Which is a contradiction to my actions of the past week. After talking to Channing,  I decided to give my mind a free week of Marilyn. I have mentally exhausted myself over our situation for more than a year now. So when she offered up a therapy session,  I reluctantly agreed. But anyways, that's where I'm currently on route to. I'm nervous because every time I'm around her I lose myself.  I don't think, I can't think properly. Within fifteen minutes, I arrived to the office.  Taking in a couple of deep breaths. When I finally exhaled, I found myself in front of the office door. I slowly pulled on the door and entered. The office was like an instant stress reliever. It, is so inviting. I walk to the front desk. The young man sitting behind it looks up at me. "Jackson? ", I nod. He smiles. "Right this way...Dr.Mendel will see you now, the misses is already waiting ", I nod and follow him into the office. Once I walked in the first thing I see is Dr.Mendel handing Marilyn tissues. I frown."Am I interrupting? ", They both look up at me. "No no Michael. Please,  come in...", I obey and sit on the couch next to Marilyn making sure to leave space between us. "Ahh I see I have quite a case here...Tell me again... why are you guys here?", Marilyn wipes her face. "Well Dr. Mendel... Our relationship our lives...are a mess", He nods and looks at me. "Do you agree Michael? ", I nod. "Here we talk Michael so use your words...God's powerful gift...", I sigh. "Yes...", "Okay... well to my understanding together two are still married? Why is that? ", "The children... ", Marilyn explained. He looks at me for an answer. "The children and self promise of never getting a divorce ", He nods again scribbling on a notepad. "I think you two are leaving out something ", he pushed looking up again. "There has to be another reason... ", I glance at Marilyn. "I-I still love her....", "Well of course you do she's the mother of your children and your first love... ", "Then I don't know what else it is..", I admitted looking down. "Tell me how was your life in the bedroom? ", Marilyn coughs. I chuckle. "Well...I can't describe in one word Doctor... ", The doctor gives me a look. "Try...", "Enigmatic.... Crazy..... sensual... soul fulfilling... ", I said in almost a dazed. He scribbles what I said down and looks at Marilyn. "Marilyn? ", She sighs. "Honestly it was mind blowing, always was...", He nods. "Why do I feel that you have a rebuttal? ", She nods and a tear falls from her face. "If it was everything he said then why cheat?", She questioned staring directly at me. I look away.  "That's a great question but we'll take baby steps for now... I also have here that both of you have relationships with different people? ", We both nod. He gives us a weird glance. "Then why are you guys here?", "I want my wife back...", I admitted. "I want to end my sleepless nights... I want to make love to her again... hold her again... I want my life back...", My heart found it's place on my sleeve at that moment. "Hmm... Michael it seems you have great regret in your action's.... Marilyn can you try.... can you try to see thing's in Michael's light? ", Marilyn stares at me. I know she's dying on the inside. "Doctor... He hurt me... he cheated with a woman who I can't explain... she's evil she did so much to Michael and I yet now she's living the life I had tragically taken from me..

.now tell me how can o see thing's his way?!...I'm sorry but I'm done for today I need a break...", Marilyn said standing up. I stand up to follow her. "No let her go... she'll come. back", I sat back down and sighs. O hope this works...
