GOODNIGHT...

Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach LITERALLY, I quickly open the door and begin to vomit. Veronica leans over rubs my back and asks, “What in the world is wrong with you, did the Doritos upset your stomach?” I shake my head no as I continue to hold my head out of the door while thinking about this new found revelation. The more I think about it, the more upset it makes me and I can feel myself getting angrier and angrier. This man had the audacity to sit in the delivery room with me and on three separate occasions congratulate me on having three healthy, beautiful, baby girls. I laugh to myself thinking two out of the three times I was there, I should have been telling that to him. I snap out of my trip down memory lane as I calmly hear Veronica say, “It's getting pretty dark, I think we should get going.” I think to myself, *Get going where, I still don't know where we are or whats going on.* I close the door, sit back in the seat and close my eyes - because as crazy as it sounds, I still don't know what to say to this woman. I hear her let out a soft yet seductive *sigh* as she starts the SUV. I can feel her looking at me so I open my eyes and sure enough she is. I look at this woman, I mean really look at this woman who is so emotionally hurt and exhausted and for the first time see how beautiful she truly is. I am so uncomfortable because for the first time since I have been married, I find myself looking at another woman - in that way. I'm not gonna lie, I get nervous, my palms start sweating and my heart rate speeds up as she extends her hand reaches out and slowly turns on the radio. I take a deep breath and thank God that was the ONLY thing she was reaching for - because no matter what my wife has done I am a married man and will continue to act as such. I'm sitting here thinking of something to say or do to break-up this awkward moment when I hear the on-air personality say, “..we have been getting request for this one all day, here's Robin Thicke's, 'It's in the Morning'...'I'm in the mood for lovin', we'll be touchin', we'll be huggin', I'm in the mood for lovin', we'll get into...It's in the morning I wanna touch, it's in the morning I wanna love you...” I look at her, she looks at me, (I don't like the way this feels) so I shake my head and close my eyes, when I open them, the song is off, the sun is shining and the birds are chirping and she is laying on my chest in the back seat of the SUV and "It's in the morning"...
