Chapter 7

Waking up a few hours later, I am still in Riz's arms. I pull away from him and he's still sleeping and I slip out of the bedroom and into the office to get some work done. Vickie comes in and asks "Where's Riz?" I don't look up but say "He's still sleeping." I stand up and say "I need to run to the house and change." I tell her. "Are you coming back?" she asks. "Yeah." I say as I walk out the door.

Pulling up to the house, I walk inside and just look around as the tears start to fall. I walk to the bedroom and get my bag out of the closet and start packing up the things that I had moved in. I get the bag packed and zip it up when I hear a bike pull up. I head to the door with my bag and as I walk into the living room, Riz walks in the door. "Where are you going?" he asks. "Moving back to Vickie's until I figure out my next step." I tell him as I go to move past him. "Please don't." he says and I stop. I don't look at him but says "I want a divorce Michael. I'll file the papers in the morning." I say as I walk out the door, leaving him standing there.

Pulling up at Vickie's, I head up to my room and get my things unpacked when there's a knock on the door. I look up and see Riz walk in and I just turn back to what I'm doing. He walks over to the bed and sits down. "I don't want a divorce. I don't want to be without my wife." he tells me. "Riz, please don't do this." I say softly. "If you file for divorce I won't sign." he tells me and I sigh. Turning to him, I don't look at him but say "Riz, I've never been enough for anyone. Never been able to keep a man faithful. I honestly believed I would be enough for you." I say, refusing to cry. "You are enough. Baby, you have no clue how much I love you and how happy you've made me." he says and I shake my head no. "If you're staying here, I am too. I'm going to show you that you're all I want and need." he tells me. I look up at him finally and he is standing right in front of me. "Riz, just give me some time to think." I tell him. "Can I at least sleep next to you? Please?" he asks and I nod. "I have work to finish." I tell him as I leave the room.

That night, I walk into my room and Riz is sitting there on the bed waiting for me. I move to the bathroom and take a shower and when I come out, he's sitting there with a tray of food. "You need to eat." he says "I'm fine." I say as I move to the other side of the bed. "Mi amor, I know you haven't eaten today. Please? Just eat with me." I sit down on the bed and slowly start to eat. Once we finish eating, he moves the tray to the floor and lays down with me. I lay facing him but away from him and he asks "Come here baby." he says. "I'm fine here." I tell him. "Please just come here." he says softly. I finally move over into his arms and I start to sob. "Why wasn't I enough?" I ask softly. "Mi amor, you are enough. You're more than enough." he says softly and I just sob into his chest.

I wake up the next morning and he's still holding me close. I feel him start to stir and I don't look up at him. I fell him kiss the top of my head and tilt my chin up to look at him. Kissing my lips softly, he whispers "Te amo mi esposo." I feel the tears fall again and he kisses me one more time and I let him deepen the kiss. I pull him to hover over me and we start to shed clothes and he enters me slowly. Making love to me nice and slow, we both find our release. I get up and start to get dressed. "Where are you going?" he asks. "I have work to do." I tell him. "Take the day." he says. "You got what you wanted now I have to work." I say as I walk out the door before the tears start to fall again. I get to my office and he comes running in behind me. "Hey. No." he says before he grabs my arm and crashes his lips with mine in a soul searing kiss that makes my toes curl. When we come up for air he says "I did get what I wanted. To make love to my wife. I want my wife." I look at him and ask "Are you sure Michael?" Kissing me one more time he says "I'm sure baby. Completely sure." he tells me. I feel the tears start to fall and Vickie comes to the door and sees him kiss me again. "Take the day and move back home with your husband." she tells me and I just nod. We head back upstairs and I pack my things back up and head home with my husband but I still don't let my guard down.
