Secret affairs

Chapter 28:

There are times that I miss Tammy so much. I wish she could just be ok with her mom and I. I know it is weird but she didn't have to end our friendship. We have been bestfriends forever. You would think she would want both her mom and I to be happy. I guess in a way she does. She just doesn't want us to be happy together. I know her siblings and mom miss her too. She could just punish me but she doesn't have to punish her blood. Blood and friendship used to mean a lot to her. Now she acts like it doesn't mean shit.

I get out of bed and go downstairs to cook dinner. Wendy's sister walks up and says, " Can we talk?"

I nod and sit at the table with her.

She says, " I'm sorry for how I acted. I don't agree with my sister and your relationship. A part of me says it's not my business but I love my brother in law. I have grown up with him. He may not always be the dad and husband he needs to be but he is fighting in a war for his family."

" He chose to leave. Wendy makes so much money that he didn't have to. Dylen doesn't know him. According to Reese his dad never taught him anything. I just want the kids and Wendy happy ."

" You do make them happy. Do you love her?"

" Yes I do."

" Ok then all I have to say is hurt her and I will hurt you."

I nod. She leaves.

****

After Wendy gets home Zack comes over. He says, " I wanted to say that I am sorry that Lucy got into her aunt's hands. Lucy just went out for a second that night and that's when it happened. I tried to fight her but she won."

" It's ok kid I forgive you." Wendy says.

He nods and then runs off.

Wendy looks at pictures of her husband with the kids. She look sad.

I will fight for her no matter what. He can not have her back. His kids love me more then they do him. I will always be a better dad to them then him and I'm not even a dad. Ugh I hate the fucker. Wendy doesn't help by looking at his pictures with sad longing. She better not break my heart.

I put on a song and have Wendy dance with me. I sing it to her,

" Hey girl, what's up?

I know it's late, but I knew you'd pick it up

Naw, I ain't drunk

Okay, maybe I do have a little buzz but
That song came on and I just thought what harm could come from one little call?

I know you say you're taken, but I say girl you're taking too long

To tell him that it's over

Then bring it on over

Stringing him along any longer girl, it's just wasting precious time

Girl, you know it can't wait
Rip it off just like a band-aid

The way you look at me, girl, you can't pretend
I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him

I know, you don't wanna break his heart, but that ain't no good reason to be keeping us apart

look,
just tell him, it's you, it ain't him,
and maybe you can lie to him and say you'll still be friends

Whatever you got to say to get through to him that you ain't in love

C'mon you can't deny that you and I kinda fit like a glove

So tell him that it's over

Then bring it on over

Stringing him along any longer girl, it's just wasting precious time

Girl, you know it can't wait
Rip it off just like a band-aid

It ain't my business to be all up in, but I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him

I know that you're so done with him, break up with him, break up with him

You would've hung up by now if you weren't thinking it too
No pressure, whatever, just do what you gotta do, but if I was you

I'd tell him that it's over

Then bring it on over

Stringing him along any longer girl, it's just wasting precious time

Girl, you know it can't wait
Just rip it off like a band-aid

Yeah, I know I said it, but I'll say it again, I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him

The way you look at me, girl, you can't pretend,

I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him, yeah
Just break up with him."

I dip her. She smiles at me and I smile back.
