The Widow

Chapter Three

"Stop... Stop Jessie!"

"Leave me the fuck alone." She spoke angrily, holding the gasoline.

"Think about what you are doing. Have you been taking your meds?"

"Fuck the meds and thinking is overrated." She chuckled as she poured the gasoline around Charles' house.

"Baby, don't do this. Nyla and my niece and nephew are in there."

"Them bad ass kids." She muttered.

Charles began to walk closer to her, and Jessie caught him.

"Stay the fuck back before I light your ass on fire." Jessie mugged him, pointed the gasoline toward him.

Charles paused in front of her, not making any movements as she sat the gasoline on the ground, taking the lighter out of her pocket and striking it.

"Jessie, no!" Charles yelled.

Just before she dropped the lighter, Charles ran into her as they both fell onto the ground, letting the lighter flew in the bushes.

"What the fuck, Jess? Are you crazy?!" Charles yelled at her, being infuriated.

Jessie looks at him, laughing at his expression.

"Only for you, Scrapp." She spoked seductively while biting the corner of her lip.

Charles shakes the memory out of his head while going upstairs in their room, watching Jessie sleeps peacefully.

"Wake up, Jessie." Charles began to shook her as she groaned.

"What Charles? I'm trying to sleep. It's too early for me to be up anyway."

"Tell me why you ain't taking your pills the right way."

"I am."

"No, you're not. The pill bottle is half full. It's supposed to be almost empty, Emele. Your refill is next week."

"Ugh, Charles. Leave me alone. I don't need them."

"Why you think that?"

"Because I have you. You're keeping me sane."

"Babe, you got to follow the doctor's orders. He wants you to keep taking the pills. I won't let your condition get worse, not on my watch. I want your condition to be stable enough, so you can be around people and have a job."

"Alright, fine," Jessie responded in defeat.

"Twice a day, Jessie." He scolded her.

"I know." She mumbled.

Charles kisses her forehead and looks at her.

"I'm going to work. I'll be back around 5, okay?"

"Okay."

Jessie goes back to sleep as he kisses her on her forehead then goes downstairs and grabs his keys. Charles locks the door behind him while his phone begins to ring. He answers it while speaking.

"Hello."

"Hey, baby." The woman spoke on the phone seductively.

"What you want? I gotta go to work."

"Wassup with the attitude?" The woman began to frown.

"Sorry about that, Christine. My wife got off her meds again and it made me mad."

"You should leave her. You shouldn't be with a woman like that. She putting too much stress on you, and I don't like my baby stressing. It's not good for your health."

"I'm not leaving my wife, Christine. I told you this. She needs me."

"Not as much as I need you. You make me feel whole, and I want all of you. I can't keep sharing you with a mental person."

"Watch your mouth, Maria," Charles told her using her middle name. "Don't talk about my wife like that, you got that?"

Christine sighs in defeat and mumbles softly.

"I'm sorry."

"Good. Don't do that shit no more."

"I won't. Are you coming to see me?"

"I don't know about that."

"Please. Can you at least try? I missed you." She pouted.

"I missed you too." Charles breathes softly while thinking. "I'll see what I can do."

"Okay. Bye, Sexy."

Charles chuckles while shaking his head.

"Bye, baby girl."

He hangs up his phone and put it back in his pocket then walks to his car. He gets in and starts his car then drives to work. Some of the women that he is cheating with don't know that he is married and some of them do, and they didn't care cause it was none of their concern. Sleeping with a married man to them is a thrill and they love how good he is with his words and his dick.

Charles is a womanizer and loves to give them empty promises then they fall for it every time, knowing that he will never leave his wife for them. Charles doesn't have any attachment to those women that he is having sex with nor love any of them. It just pure lust and great sex to him. He just can't get enough of them and didn't want to stop any of the relationships with them.

That is his game.... he leads women on into thinking that they have a shot with him, and he fucks them then goes home to his wife after taking a shower at Derrick's house. Shortly after a while, he tells them that he doesn't want anything but sex from him, and they agreed to it because they didn't want the sex to stop.

When men cheat over and over it's a pattern, not a mistake, but as simple-minded, as Charles is. He thinks what he is doing is a mistake. Cheating is a hard habit to quit, but Charles doesn't want to leave his wife, and he doesn't want Jessie to leave him. Little does Charles know, Jessie is not going to be as forgiving like she was last time especially when she finds out for herself.

A couple of hours later, Jessie wakes up from her sleep as her mind wanders to the pills that she is dreading to take.

"I don't need those damn pills." She muttered.

She gets up and walks downstairs looking at the pills on the kitchen table then Charles' voice slips into her mind.

"Babe, you got to follow the doctor's orders. He wants you to keep taking the pills. I won't let your condition get worse, not on my watch. I want your condition to be stable enough, so you can be around people and have a job."

"Fuck the doctors. I just need him." Jessie mumbled as she grabbed the pill bottle and walked to the sink, slowly thought about pouring it down the drain.

Jessie hesitant for a minute and looks at it as her mind repeats the last sentence that Charles told her, changing her mind completely.

"I want your condition to be stable enough, so you can be around people and have a job."

"Okay. Fine, Charles. Damn."

She opens the pill bottle and takes two of them and drinks it with water then sighs in frustration, letting the affect of the pills sink in then continues on with her housework routine.
