Unconditional

Within Love's Arms

"Babe we all make mistakes, sometimes hurtful, sometimes repeatedly, sometimes unknowingly. But babe, we move on from them and don't keep account of all the mistakes made. Instead, we remember that we ALL make mistakes cause nobody is perfect. Besides, we're supposed to forgive even the mistakes, big or small, 1st time or repeated offender ha ha. Just think if God didn't forgive mankind for they're mistakes, way bigger than the ones we fuss about nowadays, then He wouldn't have ever sacrificed His son on behalf of us. Not to be all preachy on you but that's just for you to see the bigger picture of it all.," explained a worried Patricia to her husband.

"I know, but I know I hurt you and that's the part that gets to me. I'm a married man and no woman should've ever been that close to me, co-worker or not and I made you physically sick..." Daniel was still having nightmares about his incident with another woman, feeling as though he betrayed Patricia's heart.

"How did you know I became physically sick?"

"Because, whenever another was touching me in a way that you would, have their body on me, made too much contact with me, you always winded up sick during or right after the act. I just didn't speak on it, but it was as though you ALWAYS knew when something physical or even on my part, mental, had occurred. For the longest I thought it was from the pregnancy, but then I noticed the pattern and it made me want to do better for the sake of us."

Patricia just watched Daniel as he spilled out his heart. "Babe remember how I let you just do what you wanted as a "single" man, even your heart wasn't single, you would tell me the things that would happen and I would already know, I always wanted you to be mindful of my feelings but then I had to remember that you were a "single" guy so I couldn't dictate how you ran your life. But you always came back to me, and always told me and regardless of how I felt I respected and appreciated to have been and still am, the one you ran to. Even when the guy at my old job, attempted to come onto me during lunch, I felt like I had made the biggest mistake in the world, yet you still forgave me. And if I recall correctly, you were sick too," Patricia had made Daniel smile after saying that last sentence.

"I don't want to make you sick anymore Patricia. You know that all of me, especially my heart is yours and only yours. I just have to put up my guard more because these promiscuous females have their own agendas especially as a married man, it's as though they leech on even more so. How did you know my heart wasn't single woman?" Laughed Daniel as he playfully questioned Patricia.

"Don't worry about all of that ," laughed Patricia, "but ever since the day we met, there was something different about you in every sense of the word. The connection and attraction was there in seconds. And as we continued to talk, I realized that you were the one for me, but I had to wait to the time was right, I knew your heart before I knew you. Anytime my heart would yearn for something more or I would randomly get sad, it was cause of you, cause I knew your heart, and when I finally met you, oh wow the accomplice of these feelings ha ha. So that's how I knew, cause I knew you pretty damn well love.," a comforting Patricia had explained to Daniel.

A sense of relief came across Daniel's demeanor and face. He seemed more relaxed knowing that through anything, Patricia would always be there as his wife, his shoulder to lean on, his best friend and always willing to forgive, despite the mistakes made. After that ephipany, Daniel had fallen in love all over again with his wife, which was everyday.

"How about you be the "mistress" tonight," said Daniel, seductively.

"You sure you won't beat yourself up over this vouluptuous "mistake" since I'm not your wife?," Patricia giggled

"Oh no, my beautiful, loving wife, understands mistakes, and will always forgive me"

"Then you have a good wife Mr. Lomaz."

"I have a great wife," Daniel pulled Patricia closer and whispered..."I love you."
