AFTER A BROKEN MARRIAGE .

chapter2

Monique lift her head at the sound of the alarm which goes six in the morning, but it was lloyd who reaches over to silent it "my! It can't be six already" he grumbled,
as he rest his hand across his wife's tummy she turn to look at him then turn her back, his hand slide from her as she turn but he was soon to put it back on her, rubbing down her thight to fundle between as he left hot kiss on her neck making her body hitch, since of late there was no romantic feelings for him all he ever did now his make her skin crawl disgustingly especially after night with Laurence though most her nights are with him now,"not now lloyd" she shake him a way getting up,
"Spare some time will you" He beg
"I am so tied up in court and paper work I barely got time for me"
"Oh I see" he said disappointed once again he got up going a head of her to the shower she hate it when he did that, she never let him shower before her in the morning and most of the morning he shower down the hall,
"Come on!" She said when the door closes,
He few minutes came from the bathroom to dig through his closet he mostly has clean shirts now for his pants has ran out and his wife hasn't done any laundry for a while, "honey I can't find a pants for work" he called out right as she came out the bathroom,
"Here" she hand him the one from the floor he climb out to crawl in bed, "maybe if you try cleaning them you won't ran out so often, and I really hate it when you rush a head of me to the bathroom" she frown her face,
If she was looking for an argument he wasn't granting her any she never use to have a problem with his dirty laundry, he put the pants on with a clean shirt and left the room,
By the time she was entering the living room he was going out the door, she thought he had left, she heated some of the ribs and pineapple chop ginger rice and have some for breakfast, she was convince her husband didn't prepare this meal,
She came to the driveway to find he was still there looking into the bannet of his almost worn out nineteen seventies van that has been in his life for the six years she met him, probably much longer than that too, she walked by him get in her car and drove off, lloyd turn as she drove off stood watch until she could no longer be seen, he kick the old van "shit" he curse ran his hand through his hair doing so with a bit of frustration,
Good luck he didn't have to face too much traffic this morning he get to turn off on paulding road by seven fifty for he got hold up because of the trouble with the van, he wasn't really in a hurry to get to work, not much was there to be done anyway, besides he was self employed he's the one who owns the architectural and engineering building he had bought it few years back right before he met monique, he had to do some repair on it before he could start bisiness it was at its best now, even though business was slow and it was only a little here and there, nothing extra big, in the last year and a half it was mainly from hand to mouth, he haven't gotten a job that would pay a portion of cash it's good he didn't have kids to fend for, although his wife was in her good pay job he didn't want to leave it to her to pay the mortgage, water bill, light bill and find food, he wanted to kept himself in that position where he's classified as the man of the house,
Much as it didn't seem he was making up any more, he wonder where did he go wrong with his wife, what happen why she's distance he can't believe work got her so far from him, its as if they are not committed no more, he believes he has always been a good husband not everything he could do to please her but he tries best as he possibly could, he wasn't completely broke thank god for he has some money saved with the bank, the building is insure and their home was in good condition, not that it was bigg for it was just one flat a three bedroom and its just him and his wife he wasn't sure if either of them needed kids six years of marriage and neither of them talk about it, and after all the sex they had she never wined up pregnant, they use to get it on with out a doubt she use to say he was good, he use to consider her the best, but now she's holding off if it's not tired, it's not wanting to be late, he sighed rubbing his palms over his face for a while he sat just thinking of where he had gone wrong he let his mind lead him to wonder if she's by chance pregnant and that is the reason for her not wanting sex,
Lloyd sat on the bed watching his wife got dress trying to see if there was a rise at her tummy, Monique saw him from the mirror as he watch her,
"What?" She asked
"Nothing!" He shook his head,
"All that Staring its creeping me out"
"You're my wife I'm supposed to admire you"
"Just stop it OK"
He held up a defensive hand then got up and walked out, she few minutes came from the room to hear the shower down the hall running, she took up her keys and left never bothered to say she's leaving,
Lloyd came from the shower just as her car was going out the drive way he looked out the window to see her going down the road,
She met Laurence in the office this morning once again instead of a jumbo drum stick he brought diamond bracelet that kept her eyes dazzling, this was the second one since month, they made out on the table then he left,
Lloyd spend the day thinking of his wife  but didn't want to call her at work,  he thought maybe later he could sweet her up,
He got home to find her home a surprise to him for she haven't been home so early in five  months,
"Baby" he said when he walked in the living room,
Monique look up at him,
"Is everything alright with you, why you're home now?"
"Don't I always come home, what kind of a stupid saying is that?" She hiss turning back to her papers she sat going through,
He stood there for a few minutes looking at her, she look up at him through narrow eyes, "why you staring?"
He shook his head and walk away to the kitchen,
After a while in the kitchen Lloyd push out his head, "did you eat?" He asked
"No! But don't bother to try fixing anything OK" she said holding up a hand
"Fine then" he said tossing the bag he just brought Inside the refrigerator, he was about to close the door when he noticed for the first time that she had took food from that the other night, he shook his head and went back to the living room, he came and sat next to her pushing back her hair with his finger tip, Monique shift  her head to see her husband smile upon his face and her body crawl with disgusted, "what?!" She asked
"Would you like some wine?" He asked
"No why would you think I want wine?"
"Can't I steal you from your work for just a few minutes?"
"No I have to put these together"
"OK" Lloyd said creating space between them she turned back to her work and he sat there just looking out of space while she was in ignorance of him, he finally got up she saw him as far as to their bed room door when it closes she frown with a hiss of disgusted. After a long while she push aside the work files to go into the kitchen, the bag of hot wings that wasn't there when she got home smells deliciously as the door to the refrigerator open, she wonder how she didn't notice when her husband came in with it, she look towards the door hoping to have some before he catch her since she told him she ate, she opened the bag to find them to be still warm, she just set some on a dish when the kitchen door open and he came in,
"I just feel a little hungry after so much work" she said frightened that she got caught,
Lloyd look at her but said nothing he went around her to the refrigerator took out his bottle of wine a glass from the cabinet and went out the back door,
After filling herself she took a shower later climbing into bed, before laying down her phone message, She smile when she saw Laurence text her, he had gone all day and she haven't heard from him, they text for a while, Lloyd walk in to find her on the phone the smile on her face was bigger than the size of the titanic ship, his present was acknowledge and she put the phone away to lay down, he climb into bed lay with his back to her, he could hear her breathing as she lay on her back her elbow brushing his back it must be because he's face with such longing why he was feeling such a way he found to be getting hard with emotions he turn to face her and she turn from him soon as she felt him hug her and push up his hardness against her butt she jumps,
"What are you doing?!" She snap getting to her feet,
"Trying to get some love from my wife" Lloyd said to her calmly,
"I told you Lloyd not tonight"
"You've been saying not tonight for a while now"
"I am tied up with work now I thought you would understand"
He held his hands up nodding before sliding his back to the bed laying down with his arms on his chest,
He could feel himself vibrate, hurtful emotions welmp up in him, he barely got any sleep and was up before his wife he was sure all her reaction has that to do with her being pregnant, she lay with her back to him and he think to look at her tummy he sat up lift her shirt on front her clothes being lift she jump from her sleep
sat up to stare at him,
"What the hell were you doing?" She snapped
"I wasn't doing nothing"
"Nothing!, why the hell you were getting in my clothes?"
"Nothing, nothing! Alright already" he said swinging his feet out of bed moving swifly as he goes toward the living room.
He grab a quick shower down the hall, got dress in his cleanest dirty pants with a already use shirt,
He came back to the kitchen to find his wife, she turn to look at him once he walk in, "There's nothing in the house apart from crap"
"I thought you would go shopping" he said
"You thought I am to to everything that's why you look like that going to work" she pointed to his attire, Lloyd look down on himself, he could see  what she was saying his shirt soil and crush and his faded dirty jeans,
"I married you not to be come your maid, when are you going to stop acting like I am"
"I'm not acting as if you are my maid just because I look to you to put a few things together for me doesn't mean I take you for my maid"
Monique hiss furiously at her husband pushed him out the way as she went into the living room,
Lloyd was too sure it was her harmones that was raging and was making her angry, "Is there something you, you want to tell me, you want to tell me something?" He asked on following her out the kitchen,
"What are you asking?" She asked irritatingly
"You been acting like you are angry, irritated, tired youre always tired"
"What the hell are you trying to say? You know what it is drama, nothing but drama and you know what I'm not in to it, I don't want to be late for work, for if I should loose my job I won't be able to survive and what little money you take home" she went into the bedroom slam the door behind her leaving lloyd with a worried look on his face as he sighed deeply,
Monique hiss furiously remembering her husband she wonder why in the world he think there's anything to tell him, she can't believe he's irritating her so much she can hardly stand to see him anymore she remembered feeling him lifting her clothes earlier wondering what he was looking for, he kept bugging her for sex and she didn't want to get into that with him, she was already busy with Laurence who's already making her feel a live everything about him was charming from his sweet look to his charming attire,
Monique had met Laurence eight  months ago she had took his case when he went to the law firm looking some one to defend him someone had file report about him being in to faurd how he had pay him some money for a land he had bought on line from him he didn't have anything to show that Laurence had received the money from him so in less than two months the case came to an end, he take her out to thank her and a week later he asked her out again on a much more personal date  which she gladly accepted she haven't told him she was still with  her husband and he haven't shown much instress in anything more than to pamper her, love her he and fall between her thighs quit often  , the love they made was far better than with her husband since of late since of late, she didn't have to ask if Laurence love her more, for he was always doing nice things treating her to fancy dinner, often he would take her out, get for her experience gift, he comfort her make her smile, he was with farless problems than her husband has and he has nothing to complain about, when they spend quality time together it was always about her, nothing like her husband who always talk about work and she wanted that life, she need pampering someone who makes it all about her,
Laurence took Monique out for dinner Thursday after picking her up from work, they made  out on the back seat of the limo with his driver on the front seat she didn't mind at all she make every effort to please him in ways she didn't her husband, at the end of it all he's paying a price to keep her beautiful, 
Lloyd Came in the room after his wife got home and head into the shower, he notice the thing on the dress it was glisening he picked it up and saw it was a diamond bracelet a real diamond bracelet, his eyes widen as he wonder what what's the cost for such a thing, first it was a big experience phone now this, he let himself pull out the top draw of the dresser and was astonish of his discovery, she got more diamond inside not just bracelet but necklace and earrings too,
The draw slam almost closing Lloyd's hand in it he had to quickly pull away turning to see her looking hard at him
"Don't be going through my things like that" she grumble poking him,
"I was only looking" he said
"Don't, don't look through any of my things started paying attention to your things" she Said shoving him out the way, lloyd stumble and almost fell,
"I'm sorry" he apologized going out the door,
"You should stay away from things that don't belong to you, you wimp" She shout kicking the door with a slam, lloyd jump although he wasn't near it felt he was standing next to it, he took his phone and went down the hall into the room getting out her way as much as could,  he was around back in tbe morning when he heard her in the kitchen, he later smell egg on the fire  toast being done and coffiee boiling  he saw her came out to empty a can in the out side bin look his way then went back in closing the door, he  didn't have a lot to do today Saturday and he wasn't the going out type, he sat out in the cool of the trees until it was early evening he went in to get something to eat he just entered when his wife came in and to avoid her he  went out waiting for her to leave the kitchen before he went in,
For a week it was just him trying to make conversation but she didn't say nothing at all to him, he was been drive crazy by her behavior for truth was he wasn't prepared for this day, he never knew he and his wife could be going through this trying times but he was giving her time for her knew eventually she will calm down with time and he hope that it will be soon.
Lloyd's van break down on his way to work he had to leave it by the road and catch a cab to work, he had someone look at it in the evening but in the morning or wouldn't start,
"I'm having van trouble" lloyd said to Monique,
"Tell it to the mechanic"
"I'm hoping you could drop me half way"
"I don't have that time" she said taking up her work bag and walk by him Lloyd sigh when he saw she wasn't giving him the ride, he had to pay a sum of money to a cab driver to take him to work,
Breakfast in the office with Laurence included sex on the desk top he leaves Monique with a smile, "call me" she told him as he was leaving,
"You call me" he said, she nod and see him off, "aah!" She said grinning pleasingly she was never dissatisfied with him,
"You should invite me over to your place" Lauren said kissing her softly,
But monique knew that will  not happen  so she just smile with  out a giving answer it was the same settings next morning breakfast and sex on the desk in her office, He got up on her offten but she didn't care he was paying for the goods no one deserve satisfaction like a good  costumer she like the flavor so she's all up in it, and will do all she can  to keep him coming.
"So when will you invite  me to your place I'm tired of being  the host" Laurence  said
"I live with  family  it's better  at your place when I get my own place  you can com at any time" she said  with  a grin,
Laurence nod kissed  her again
Monique wonder  to herself  if he would  want to but her a house a nice one so she could  leave lloyd  and live on her own or maybe  invite  her to move in with  him, she wish to make the suggestion but leave it for now to have all the fun with  him and to receive and accept what was coming  to her now.
