My Accident (Nanowrimo2018)

Chapter 24

Once her and Michael finished talking, Katrina got back to work. She knew she was going to create a good piece of art. She knew she had the power in her finger tips. There were moments when Katrina switched from typing to handwriting for a little bit. She was happy with doing it that way. She took what she was writing on the paper and transferred it to what she had typed. Katrina thought about all the times she had got mad at her Travis because he chose to continue living with his baby mama and still see her. She knew there was always going to be that worry about him being with his baby mama or cheating with someone else. As Katrina was typing, she decided to take all the thoughts she had on the situation and make it a juicy story. She knew that's what she should do anyway. She knew she needed to free herself. She knew now was the time to keep herself at peace. She knew she needed to stop thinking about the past.

When Katrina got done writing the first five chapters, she saw a difference in herself. When she looked in the mirror, there was a brighter color to her face. She didn't look as dark. She figured it was her mind playing tricks on her. It wasn't that at all. It was the mere fact of being able to take all that's within you, which has ever hurt you or made you seem seldom happy has finally been released. Katrina knew with the love she had from her work, her art, and even Michael was ten times better than the feelings she had back when she was younger. She knew it was time to continue for three more chapters. She knew in seven chapters, she was going to find that climax moment, where she stopped worrying and realized it was time to live for herself. It was going to be time to care for herself and know she wasn't tied to them as much as she thought she was.

With time speeding up and the days turning into months, Katrina knew she needed to relax. She kept emailing and trying to find out if her story was going to be picked up to be published. She knew she should have just prayed on it. She knew nothing happened by chance. She knew she needed to get back on track. When Michael got home one Tuesday night, she decided to take him out to dinner. They went to red lobster and ate out. When they got home, Katrina banged Michael like tomorrow didn't exist. She knew it was one perk of having Michael. He listened when she needed him, and he already was a huge fan of them having sex. Katrina put all her energy back into working at the library, cleaning up the house and being there for Michael. Katrina knew it was the best thing she was good at. She was a good wife and she knew she could always improve. Katrina looked in blogs and started researching on google. She didn't want Michael to leave her.

Katrina knew it felt like she had separation anxiety. Yet, it wasn't that at all. She had been cheated on for so long, and she was happy having Michael be the one to stay. She was just waiting for the moment when he said he was done. Each time she thought he was going to say it, he had proven her wrong. Katrina watched as Michael did incredible things. Katrina watched as Michael made her feel special. She knew a marriage wasn't always about sex and what the person could do for you. She knew she needed to find out whether they were having trouble with anything. Her and Michael were doing so well, and she was thinking things were going to fall apart. She knew she needed to stop trying to see if things were going to south. She needed to start having faith in her abilities and the abilities of her spouse.

Katrina knew as much time as she spent on her writing, she could do the same with her marriage. For the next couple of months, Katrina would try different things. She wanted to make Michael happy. She would come home and make dinner. She made sure she was wide awake to give massages. She would read before her and Michael got busy. He was wondering what was going on with her. He knew she was paying more attention to him. He knew she wasn't writing, and he was wondering if she had decided to give it up. He figured he would give her a week before he mentioned it. He knew Katrina wouldn't completely give it up. Michael knew she was trying to stay on his good side. He also didn't want Katrina to think she was going to lose him. He noticed how she was back to wearing her silk nightgowns to bed.

He liked being able to take them off when they got freaky. He knew he was going to have to get down to the bottom of what was going on. He also knew Katrina wasn't going to tell him until she got too overwhelmed. He knew she was to do her best to not let him find out. The next day on Monday he was off. He took a visit into her writing room. He found her computer on a marriage site. He read through and realized Katrina had a notebook out. She was taking notes and trying to be the perfect wife. Michael was upset. He couldn't believe she thought she had to do all these things to be the perfect image. He was going to straighten it out when she got home. He didn't want her to think she needed to answer to his every command or be such a robot and never do what she wanted to do. He knew marriage was about compromise and working as a team.

He didn't want her as his slave. He didn't want her to be that submissive to her. He believed in the words of the Lord, but he also valued the modern rules too. He wanted her to be independent. He wanted her to be there for him and still be happy. He knew she was capable of those things. He knew she was fine the way she was. He realized he didn't tell her enough and that's what made her want to change. He knew she needed to come back to him. He wanted the woman he originally married and not this robot. He fell in love with her for the person she was and her personality. She was the right fit for him. He didn't want her to think these women knew what was best. He knew very well, that what worked for others, was not going to work for him. He wanted Katrina to remember it too. He couldn't believe he had to wait for her to come home.

Michael left the room and went into the living room. He set up the Wii and started exercising. He knew it was going to calm him down. He knew he was going to make sure she knew she was loved no matter what. He knew Katrina was going to work herself into the ground. He knew she did it all the time. He knew he needed to stop being so quiet. He knew it was time to let her know she didn't have to keep waiting for the horrible things to start happening. He wanted her to know she was needed and wanted. He just didn't want her to be a robot. He spent three hours on the Wii. When he got done, he took a shower and made dinner. He made her favorite meal. He made Spaghetti and meatballs with a side of garlic bread.

Already so wound up, Michael decided to take another shower. He wanted to smell fresh when she walked in. He didn't want her to suspect anything. He knew she was very good about finding out things. She wasn't too happy with not knowing something. He knew he was going to have to watch out. Katrina was already happy about being able to come home. She had a ton of new inventory to do. All she wanted when she got home was to be under Michael. She wanted him to hold her. She wanted some snuggle time. She wanted to lay in his arms and not move. She just wanted to be home. She was glad she had the ability to do it. When she got in the drive way, she turned the car off and went inside. When she got inside, the house looked spotless. She knew he was home. She said, "baby, I'm home. Are you here?"

Michael yelled from their room. Katrina headed to their room. When she got there, she found Michael changing. "How was your day?" "It was great dear. I always like a good day of rest. How was your day my sweet?" "It was long. All I want is some snuggle time. I'm glad we got new books, at the same time I wish people would put their books up. I don't want to have to clean up after people. It's a library. If you take a book out and grab another, before you leave at least make sure you put them away. I mean it's common courtesy. If you see me with the cart, and you hear me say excuse me doesn't that mean to move out the way? Apparently not. I know I'm probably just bringing it out of proportion, but I need respect." "I hear you babe. I truly do. Now come sit down and we can talk more." Katrina said, "yeah you're right." Katrina sat down on the bed, and Michael held her close.

Katrina told him about her old day. He listened as she told him. He was happy she could lean on him. He wanted to tell her about what he learned, but he now wasn't the right time. She was frustrated with her day, and it wasn't going to make anything better. Katrina got up and changed her clothes. When she came out the bathroom, Michael was sitting down watching TV. He said, "baby how are you feeling?" "I'm feeling alright. I missed you all day. I am glad to be home. I apologize for how I came in talking. I didn't even ask you how you were doing. I hope your day wasn't too bad. I hope you are okay." Michael smiled at her. He said, "I did want to talk to you about something. It can wait though. I'm glad you are home safe. I missed you."
