Ben's pov

I really am trying to understand her but she is confusing the hell out of me.I rested my head against the closed door trying to pull myself together.

One minute she's like an ice queen,the  next she's dominanting if not anything I know one thing for sure you can never win a verbal... remembering the shopping incident or physical confrontation with Jane.

If this was business related then I could have taken control of the situation that took place a while ago,but women hell no...I was jogging with Doris and we were standing and talking in front of my house and then Jane was walking out the door and now I'm here trying to figure things out and don't even get me started on Jane insinuating that we've been having sex all night long...

Another thing I should add to the things I know about my wife,she lies when she deems necessary,oh and I know for sure Doris got her point loud and clear, wincing remembering my wife's death grip on Doris hair.

I'll call the cops if you even think of touching,I turned around to look at Jane and she is...crying?

What the hell? She's crying?What happened to the Jane out there?

She just put the fear of God in Dor...wait did she say cops?

Why the hell would you call the cops on me,you assaulted her not me?

Well,you are at fault for letting her touch you like that, when you just got married Mr Franklin,I didn't force you into this marriage so don't even think  of hitting me cause I touched your dear mistress I will call the cops myself,she shouted.

What are you on about,Jane?

Doris is not my mistress,she is just an old friend from college, she's here on vacation.

I don't care Ben,she was touching you wrongly and you looked like you were enjoying yourself.

Jane,I...I started walking towards her.

Don't come any closer!she sobbed running further into room and grabbing the antique vase on the shelf.

I swear if you come any closer or
even think of hitting me I won't hesitate to use this,I'm not docile anymore Ben.

When did I say she was,and why would I hit her!

Sighing,Jane I would never hit you,I just want to talk ok?I wouldn't even dream of it.

There's no need for you come close to talk,I can hear you perfectly well from my position here.

I really was starting to get irritated,I knew her insecurity runs deeper than she lets on but it's getting tiring.

Fine,suit yourself.

Jane,I'll say this just one more time and afterwards am done talking about this none existent issue on our honeymoon.Jane, Doris is just an old friend from college and am sorry if you were hurt by her touching me,it won't happen again and I would never hit you, you're my wife and though I know you don't trust me but please stop treating as if I was the one who hurts you in the past.I and that person are not the same,I know you are trying to protect yourself Jane but please don't do that at the expense of my own feelings, whatever it is you are thinking or don't like just talk to me about it ok?

Jane?Do I make myself clear?

Y-Yes,Ben.She whispered looking down at the floor,I'm sorry for be- being this way.

Jane,I called gentle,I don't want you to be sorry for being yourself,I just want you to talk to me ok?

Ok,Ben.

Now she's looks meek and docile.

Ugh

I feel an headache coming up but I was done yet.

Who was it Jane?

She turned around since she was already walking away.

What do you mean by?She asked looking confused.

Who hit you Jane?I asked watching the colour drain from her round cheeks.
