Sneak Peeks

I Mean Just....WOW!

Dear Mimi,

...after he dropped the news that no one (and I do mean NO ONE) expected to hear, we all were frozen in our respective places. It was so quiet in that room that you could hear anything: folks thoughts, a rat pissing on cotton...just anything. Even Marc Burton was frozen in his place and his job was only to give the results. He had the results in his hands and was really trying to look for a way out of the room.

..."Sir, shall I continue?" He sat in his chair across from her with his hand streched out, trying to grab hers and had tears in his eyes. She looked like she was hit with a semi truck and the truck turned around to hit her again. "Are you kidding me? Please tell me this is a joke! Whoever put you up to this is about to see the ugly side of me! This is some low class bullsh-" He put his hand up to stop her. "It's not a joke. I wish it didnt happen either. The child is mine. Charlie is my son. Can we please talk about-" Her eyes got big at this point. "Talk?! Talk?! Talk about what? The fact that I have to deal with this? The fact that our home is now broken? The fact that I have to deal with this low budget bitch for the rest of MY life?! There's nothing to talk about!" She decided to take her broken heart, her wounded pride and leave out of this place. Burton cleared his throat and looked at me. "Before I leave, there was a lie detector test given. He passed with flying colors." With that statement, he got up and left...

...Heading to her office, I really didn't know what to say. I know she and I have had our differences but no woman deserves to have her heart broken to pieces and the fact that the cameras are always in our faces makes it truly hard to escape the madness and collect our thoughts in peace.

..."What the hell do you want? I know you want to rub it in my face so go ahead...take your shot while I'm already down!" Now, I won't lie: I did want to rub it in her face for all the times that she stuck her nose in my business and marriage and karma finally caught up to her. Yet instead of hurting her even more, I took the higher road. I went up to her, pulled her in and gave her a hug and then some tissue. I'm sure she was shocked as hell. She wrapped her arms around me and cried even harder. "What am I going to do? How do I explain this to our kids? Where the direct hell do I begin with all of this mess?"...

..."Baby, why did you take a lie detector test? You didn't have to do that?""I know, I just wanted to prove to you that the only woman I want is you: always, forever, and a day." I had tears in my eyes at that point. He really went out his way to prove that I am all he wants and needs...
