"Daniel!?"
"What Patricia! What?!"
"You're my stars...I'm your sky...and I love you more as each day passes by. Our sons and daughter are our world...but did you know that I'm bearing another girl? I don't need anyone else but you....our hearts are forever stuck together, tighter than gorilla glue."
"Patricia....*sigh*...I don't want to talk about this anymore. I love you, I just don't love the things that happen."
"Ugh! That was my best material. Sigh. Well, I don't like the things that have happened to you either. But I've always forgiven you. Plus I don't have anyone putting things in my head to think otherwise of you. Cause its us and ours against all odds Daniel. If it weren't, then we wouldn't be Mr. & Mrs. Lomaz now would we? I trust you more than any man I've ever known, so when you don't trust me in return it hurts, cause I do everything to remind you that there is you and only you! And Lamar for goodness sake!? After all the fighting and striving for us, you'd think you'd realize that Daniel. It's like I could make one mistake to your 20 and I'm the worst person ever right? But I don't and won't hold grudges and don't care about the 'what ifs' anymore Daniel. Cause I love you regardless. I trust you regardless. I continue to give my all to you.....regardless."
Patricia walked over to the stereo in their bedroom turning on a classic rock song by Chicago "Hard to Say I'm Sorry"
She swayed back and forth, singing the song to Daniel, as he furrowed his eyebrows even more, pushing himself not to smile. He heard Patricia become even louder as she sang to him with a hair brush in hand. He watched her make her way to the front of his eyes. Patricia held his face and stared in his eyes, feeling the intensity rise between the stare, Patricia kissed Daniel and continued to sing.
"You're not allowed to be mad at me cause I'm Patricia Lomaz, and don't even think about trying to get rid of me," said Patricia as she jokingly snapped her fingers three times in a sassy manner.
Daniel sighed and rolled his eyes. "Nobody is in my head"
"You are in your own head, looking for reasons for me to be wrong, and those other little 'friends' want you to be single with them. But when they get married, they'll understand the truth about love. Its beautiful, its forgiving, its kind, it endures all, love never fails. Even the Bible says that Daniel." Patricia continued to sing to Daniel as she talked.
The lights in Daniels eyes shined forth, as though a realization had hit him. "You're right..."
"What?
"You're right. Ok. You mean the world to me Patricia, you and the kids. So its hard when someone wants my wife ok? I'm just happy you quit that job. I guess I still felt some kind of way, cause you're MINE! No one can even act interested."
"How do you think I feel Daniel?! You're mine, and I'm yours! Period! I'm your wife!" Said Patricia as she smacked the whiskey out of Daniel's hand.
"You aren't suppose to be drinking this mess so cut it out before it messes with your mind further. See go out there with your air force, marinal soldier friends, they'll let you drink and mess you up all because you're stressing over a nobody that TRIED to mess us up. I learned my lesson. You've learned yours numerous of times as well Daniel and I looked pass that cause you're the one I'm spending my life with. My legs did not ever open for anyone else, nor did my heart or even my mind to the thought of being with someone else. You're my heart. You don't even appreciate my song!"
Patricia, now slightly agitated threw a pillow at Daniel and then laid down in the bed, with her back turned towards him, in an attempt not to cry.
Daniel sat there in thought, standing up, walking over to the stereo and sliding in Luther Vandross, turning to "I'd Rather Be" singing and walking over to Patricia's side of the bed, kneeling down singing to her. She held the pillow tighter, and he released the grip she had, holding her hands and standing her up, slow dancing with her. "I'm sorry baby," Daniel whispered in her ear.
"I'm sorry too babylove. No one is going to get between us and ours. Not ever."
"Baby thank you for telling me. I just, don't want anyone trying to get to you. You're like my porcelain doll, meaning if there's even a tiny fingerprint on you, I'll probably flip out, and find that fingerprints owner. I love you so much and no other man loves you like I do not the way I do. If its not our mutual friends, then I would rather you not talk to them. I know you try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but start doubting, cause I don't ever want to be in this situation again. I know you can handle it, and I'm proud of you. But I'm your husband ok?! Either I handle it, or the situation never existed."
Patricia nodded and pressed her body on Daniel's even more, like a form fitting glove. Softly saying "I love you" to him and he said right back to her.
The power of love truly does conquer all, true love that is.
