The Husband

"Babe, I'm going out with the boys." Jim said, putting on a shirt. I looked at the clock and it was 8:30. He has been doing this for weeks now.

"Are you sure you going with the boys tonight ?" I whined. He sucked his teeth and began to brush his hair.

"Why you keep doing this to me everytime I tell you this ?" he asked, sitting down on the foot of the bed.

"Because you keep leaving at 8 or 9 every night but you don't really tell me where you are going. I'm sitting here worried everytime you walk out that damn door." I sighed and laid under the covers. I felt the bed move and the door slam. Oh it's on now. I walked downstairs as Ramona was still there.

"Ramona ?" I called, looking for her.

"Right here." she was sitting there, eating ice cream on her phone.

"Let's go it's time to do some investigation on Jim." she put her ice cream away and slipped on her shoes and I changed my shoes also.

We snuck out the house and Jim car just pulled out the parking lot. Just in time too. We got in our car and followed him. He made a turn but it wasn't where the club was.

He drove to the freeway and began to speed. We changed lanes and acted like we wasn't following him. He was turning out the freeway and I slowed down and turned off my headlights still following him.

His car pulled up to a stop and we parked cars behind him. I turned off the car and watched from here.

He knocked on the door and some short girl came out and hugged him and they walked in.

I snuck out the car with Ramona and we tip-toed to the bush in the house. We watched and she sat in his lap and he was talking about something.

She smiled and kissed him and he didn't even push her back. He picked her up bridesmaid style and they walked upstairs.

I sniffled and cried and ran to the car. I laid my head on the steering wheel and began to cry and Ramona rubbed my back in circles, comforting me.

I turned on the car and drove home. I woke the kids and my mom up and they got dressed. I took off my wedding ring and wrote Jim a note.

I got everybody suitcases and put them in my Hummer and we drove to my dad house. Sasha and my dad didn't have a problem with mom staying. Thank God.

"Dad thanks for letting us staying here. And for not having a problem with mom staying here." I sniffled.

"No problem. I don't have a problem with Brianna no more she changed and so should I." I gave him a hug and I pulled back and we talked about why I was there.

"Alright, dad I'm sleepy and I'm going to bed. Goodnight Sasha." I waved.

"Night, sweetie." then I got under the comforter and looked at my swelled belly. It's gotten big. 5 months down, 4 to go.

Jim

I came home, tired as hell ready to see my wife and kids. I quietly walked upstairs and seen the bed nicely made up. Maybe she left.

I walked to Brianna room and she was gone too. Huh ? I walked to the twins room and no one was there and same for Raniah.

I walked back to my room and seen a note on the bed.

Jim,

This is all your fault. You messed up and played with my heart. So I took the kids and my mom with me and we left. I will send people to get our stuff and I will not show up. And you will be getting the divorce papers.

I sighed and punched the wall. I f****d up badly and it's no way I'm getting her back. I blasted some Tupac and sat there and did nothing. There was nothing that I could think of doing. She's gone.
