Behind The Marriage (Three)

Four.

It's 11:15 PM and Akryah isn't home. Another late shift again and I was starting to get irritated. I'm upset about how I'm home alone. Nobody to talk or comfort me. I felt my anger boiling

I was texting Akryah but just small talks. I don't want to talk or anything but can't be rude. I just wish she knew how I feel right now.

Akryah: I feel your attitude...

Me: I wouldn't have one if you just come home.

Akryah: Do I complain when you arrive home?? Or when you come the next morning.

Me: Okay first you know I'm either at a teacher meeting or parent conference. Second, I only come home the next DAY when I'm on a senior trip with my students. So what are you referring to?

Akryah: You just nag so much. I have to work in order to pay bills. Keep living the peaceful life we both want.

Me: That includes long-ass hours..I'm home every day alone. We don't even have a DOG

Akryah: Then get a fucking dog?

Me: You just don't understand me and that's fine.

Akryah: I understand all of you. We both have amazing jobs and you know how much I want to be home with you right now? I think about you every day.

Me: Then come home..leave early.

Akryah: Look I'll try but you're not off the hook either when I come home.

Me: Nope my period here so don't try it.

Akryah: YOU'LL please me.
