chapter1

"Breakfast is serve!" He said resting the tray fill with fancy and delicious food from brown crispy toast bread with bacons and cheese, over easy eggs, bagels and orange juice with coffee, all his wife's favorites for breakfast, he smile as he sat next to her leaning into kiss her, Monique Foster raised herself up to look from him to the tray on the bed next to her, she lift
her head to look at him again Wondering what have he done this time, when ever her husband enters the kitchen he left a whole lot of mess there for her to clean, she  never liked it when he tries to fix her anything in the kitchen her husband must be the messiest person she knows and after entering the kitchen after him its like taking a long stroll going down Atlanta dumpster.
Things has been a whole lot heck of a bad mess between him and his wife, for some time now they've been distance and he didn't know what the problem was the past eight months left him wondering if they were at the end of the road and if he stop doing something right, they mainly fuss now and it was for simple things, here he was effortlessly trying to make it right if by chance he's the one who wrong it,
"You! You fix breakfast! Again?" She asked with wide eyes, it was unusual her husband didn't know much more about the kitchen than to make a mess there, like he makes a mess everywhere, she look at the tray thinking how much everything in it look to be well done just like she likes it, she makes a face and look back at him, to the way things look on the tray she didn't  want to believe he was the one who fix it himself "what mess have you done this time?"
"I promise no mess! it's just a little specialty, a little something I wipped up hopefully we'll have a little morning celebration" he said placing a soft kiss on her lips
She held up a hand,
"Wait a minute, What exactly  are we celebrating?" She asked turning from his kiss,
"You, me. Us" he said with a smile attempting to kiss her once more,
"I'm Sorry Lloyd but I have a early court day today, means I can't be late" Monique said pulling herself out of bed,
Lloyd Chadwick grab hold of her hand kissing it "what if I promise to neva let you be late?" He ask trailing kisses up her arm to her shorlder,
She stood for a short time allowing him until she pulled away,  "I'm sorry but I have to go"
"Please baby!" He beg
"I'm sorry" she walk away and entered the bathroom closing the door behind her,
lloyd took a deep breath sighing deeply repeating in his head his wife's words "I'm sorry" which he has a feeling she's not at all is, she's been holding him off for so long with the same sorry excuse she rush out for work in the morning and is often tired after getting home late and came fussing as if the world added leave her behind, It is like a few months now and all he got is sorry when what he wants is some love, he heard the shower and know it was pointless to wait around he got up tooking the tray with him going back to the kitchen across from the hall,
Lloyd was no cooking expert but with effort to get a little time with his wife He rush down to the bed and breakfast  inn which was only fifteen minutes drive from home and grab a quick order it was so well done and still warm with hope to smother his wife, putting himself out there too to let her see he still got it but it didn't work,.
Monique didn't want to let breakfast get cold even though she Wasn't use to lloyd mixing a proper meal at any given point, what she should have done was to check the kitchen before taking a shower, already it was too late she sank in the tub and relax a bit, she must admit what was on the tray look pretty good, she never let such breakfast go to waist thought she already gave her husband the impression she didn't want it for she wouldn't have the time but truth it she want to have breakfast but just didn't want him,  she came from the bathroom expecting to see it waiting for her and fall disappointed for like her husband the tray with her favorites was gone, "Ah!" She sigh looking towards the door, going out into the living room crossing to the kitchen,
Lloyd turn as she came in, he had already dispose it and wash up the dishes and was about to leave, Monique stood looking at him with open mouth, she was applaud there was no mess as there was no breakfast it seems he already throw it out,
"What?" Lloyd ask on looking at her
Monique shook her head much as she was feeling disappointed she didn't say it, "you clean up!" She grimace
"Yes i clean up, it was only a small amount of mess, you're not dress, Aren't you going to be late?,
"I am about to dress right now"
"Any way I'm about to leave" he leans in to kiss her, she leans her head and the kiss intended for her lips catch her cheek, He looked at her but instead of saying anything he walked away, she turned to see him to the door she walked to the trash can pressing it with her foot to see what was once breakfast dispose there, "ah!" She said disappointed he trashed it, she look arond the clean kitchen once more, it was her first time seeing it so clean after her husband crazy cooking skill it was always messy, she made a face going back out for she didn't want to be late thinking she will just grab a early lunch , she got dress and head off to the office,
Lloyd drove slowly down the street of rockDale it was seven thirty in the morning and traffic was piling up he patiently waiting, it eventually stopped moving for about three to four minutes as he checked the time on his watch, before the traffic began to move he saw his wife bright red canvertible went by him on the other side of the highway, that was the thing about going to Walton it was less traffic though it was a hour and a half drive and she started working at nine to five its why he wonders why she's never home before ten since of late, always working late, always tired, always rushing out before breakfast, its been some months since they haven't touch as he was so trying to get some loving earlier she went and ruin it, he sigh rest back his head and began to think back.
The sound of a horn honk make him realize the traffic has started moving once again,
He was glad when he turned off on Paulding street where the traffic was less and he could speed up a little bit. he kept thinking on the point he was with his wife now she won't let him touch her or love her what was she expecting him to do if she won't give a little love to him,
"Good morning beautiful" laurence Deer said resting a single red rose On Monique's desk she looks up on him with a smile as she reach out to take up the rose bringing it to her nose to smell it,
"You are here?" She asked
"You asked as if its a bad thing" he said as he lean in to kiss her Monique giggles as she welcome his kiss, Laurence hand came from behind his back to leave a bag from hubcity scoops, Monique grinned as she reached to open the bag she knew what they serve at hubcity scoops and she was dilated jumbo drum stick is another of her favorite seeing it got her going back to think on the breakfast her husband dispose earlier, it was no need to miss it now, she smile "so early?" She question,
"What's wrong with it this early?" Laurence ask
"Who said something was wrong?" She asked coming around the desk to kiss him deeply,
"I had a feeling you skip breakfast, so I thought to drop in and bring you something"
"You know me too well" she giggled  feeding to him a bite before having it as they both grin at each other
"Mm, now that's sweet" he said
"What this?" She asked holding up the drum stick "or the kiss?"
"Both" he grinned kissing her another time,
"No work today?" Monique question soon as her mouth becomes free from his lips as they share kisses between bites
"I'll go to work but I choose to be late to dropped in on my beautiful babe"
Monique giggles at his words, moan as he roll up her dress and claim her flesh her finger digging inside of her, she felt him entered her pushing firmly into her, she held his shoulders gripping tightly to braces herself to him to prevent from falling from his hard strikes,
"how would dinner later on sounds to you?" He asked after he pulled from her,
"I would say good" she said shakily
"My place at seven, you come right over after work,  you're the chef" he smile easing her back from him as he got up to leave,
"That's not fair" she complained
Laurence was out the door when he peek in "see you later sweets" he blew a kiss then pulls up the door behind him.
Monique walk to sit around her desk her face with a huge smile thinking on Laurence, as she could not  wait for work to be over to rush to him to finish up what had started.
Lloyd got to work as he settle down before looking through the files on his desk he started thinking back on earlier how he was into his wife and she just break the whole vibes, he wonder if she has noticed any at all that its been some months they haven't had fiscal contact one he was locking, his wife been coming home tired for the past  months coming home late because of over time, her over time at work as lessen time for him, he wonder if by any chance she'll be home early tonight, he thought of calling her to ask her out but then he decided to ask if she'll be early in order to surprise her with dinner that he'll order on his way home,
The phone rang once before Monique pick up "hey baby" Lloyd said
"What is it Lloyd I'm busy you know I'm at work right?" She disgustedgly asked
"Baby I know you're at work I'm only checking to see what time you'll making it home?"
"Early, what, what's the reason?"
"Nothing" Lloyd told her
Monique wonder why he called just to ask what time he'll be home for no reason "OK then" she said and the line went dead before Lloyd could say see you later, he figured because she was at work and didn't want the hold up, but Monique just couldn't be bothered with him especially now in such a mode as if he was trying to ruin it,
After a long day at work Lloyd made it home with his bag of goodies from thia surf and turf a fast food restaraunt in paulding half a hour drive from the building  he work, he was about to fix dinner for his wife, It was six thirty at anytime she could come home, he remove the barbeque ribs from its original container and place it in a bowl from the cabinet, he got a small pot for the pineapple chunks bell pepper garlic ginger rice and place it on the stove and sweet and sour gravy with corn pasta, he set a bottle of Italian red wine to chill set the table with candles and a fresh bunch of roses, he took a quick shower and wait for her arrival,
"If I'm not anything tonight I'm anxious" laurence said as monique place the food on the table,
"I've fix meal for you before" she said
"Yes I know, but never dinner, tonight feel special"
"You think" she said with a grin taking her place on his lap, he nods smiling up on her as she claim his lips kissing him softly,
Lloyd check the time it was seven thirty now and she wasn't home he didn't get disgruntled for since of late she's home only after ten, he went to look out the front window but nothing resemble her car, he went back to the kitchen look back at the time, its been nearly two hours since he was expecting his wife home since she said she would be home early and he was hoping for her to be early, he was thinking that they could get somewhere tonight he was overwhelmed with emotions and after this morning he was more eiger to have her home and in his arms so he could get into her, he went a head to set the table lite the candles and put out the light
Monique stretched beneath Laurence with a giggle, hugging tightly at the neck,
"Nothing like a good sex after a good meal" Laurence said
"Good sex that left you hungry allover again" Monique giggles
"I don't mind the hunger face after a good sex its the hunger before bothers me" he smile kissing and fundling her before rolling next to her,
Another frustrating hour had past lloyd at the table staring at the candles burning out, still his wife was yet to come home, he tries calling but her phone didn't ring instead it went to voicemail mail as it appears to be dead, he didn't believe work could kept her this late at some minutes after eleven, and was starting to worry, he got up blow out the candles that was by now at the end but sat back down before thinking of clearing the table, he open the wine and decided to take one drink then he have another, at a quarter to twelve he heard her car in the drive before he got up from the table she came in the kitchen turn the lights on,
Her eyes open wide when she found her husband sitting in the dark, "you here in the dark?" Monique asked coming over to the table he was sitting at the table set for two with burned out candles food and a freshly open Italian wine,
Lloyd look up on her,
"What happened why you're this late?" He question his wife "and why couldn't I get you on your phone?"
"I had to do some paper work, and my phone is dead"
Lloyd nod,
"You did, didn't say you would fix dinner"
"You said you would be early I was expecting you to be early it was a surprise, if I had told you would it make any different would it make you leave what it was you were doing and come home?"
Not that it would for she was at where she wanted to be  she didn't  answered, she didn't show intrest in even  opening up the dishes she see  the table to see what he has fix, "I'm sorry but if I have to work I have to work" she said as she look around checking for mess, a part from pots and dish cloth on the stove nothing else seems out of place, he nod,
"And now I guess its too late for you to eat" he said getting up to clear the table,
"I already had dinner, since I was going to be late I just say what the heck do I just order a pizza" she said the quickest thing came to mind,
"How about some wine? It's chill "
She couldn't think of having another drink of alcohol for the night and refused it like she everything else, "if you'll allow me" she said turned out the kitchen going to the bed room  Lloyd watch her out fist the table cursing at his effortless attempts, he finished clear the table and followed her he came and noticed her dress for bed normally after work she would gone to the shower but tonight she didn't, and he didn't question, he had took a shower earlier on and didn't feel he need one, she lay in bed and he came to join her after brushing and flossing he got naked and climb in with her.
Lloyd lift the covers and climb beneath it Monique became aware of his nakedness and jump "what?" Lloyd giggles
"You're naked?" She asked looking under
"What does it surprise you?"
"Lloyd you know I'm just coming in I'm very tired and soon in the morning I'll have to go to work"
"Are you saying we can't just have a quickie?" He asked feeling disappointed no way did he want to be left in this state tonight,
"I'm tired have some compassion!" She push him with a sharp growl,
"It's been a while baby" Lloyd said emotionally
Monique can't remember the last time since she started making out with Laurence she and her husband has no form of sexual contact what has it been six  months two weeks after her first date with him and they've been spending plenty of time together since she can barley keep him from between her legs,
"You think I don't know?" She asked "but understand I'm tired"
"Ah!" Lloyd sigh, getting out of bed, she watch him pull on his jeans and leave out the door, he went back down to to kitchen to pour himself some wine for a hour he sat engaged in drinking and thinking before heading off to bed, he came back to find his wife sleeping, her phone was on the bed side table he noticed she didn't put it to charge and wonder why it was dead and she haven't charged it, he pick it up to see it was really off on turning it on he found it to be over sixty percent and a lock on it, this was new to lloyd for he wasn't use to his wife locking her phone, wondering for how long, it's been a long while since he haven't really came in contact with it but was really surprised she has a secret lock, he turned it off resting it back before crawling back in bed with a thousand thoughts on his mind.
