Stay with me

It was honestly too much for me to bear up with . I need a break , a break away from everyone , l want to live alone per now . While sadly packing up their stuff , the text that Bella sent me played in my mind . " Am gonna do it , at least a weekend is enough " , l inwardly murmured to myself .

" I'm going out this weekend ,you have to take this weekend off as I'm going to spend mine at Bella's " , After gathering myself , l uttered out while looking at him . He didn't respond to me sooner but l already knew the answer . l can't remember the last time he had the kids on his own . That was a bit fine but l have never seen him take a weekend off . The business days are five but he also walked out of the house even at the weekend .

.I still didn't ask him about it . It wasn't that l don't have the ability but every time I bring up a topic he looks at me with disinterest . This is what is wrong between us . We don't speak , we live together but we are not together . " I'm sorry but I have to do this . I need a night with out you and the kids , please do this for me am fed up " , After not getting a reply from him , l added in a soft voice .

Hearing me say that , this time he sighed and at that I had a thought that he was going to accept , a little hope also bubbled in my heart as l waited for his response . " I just can't , not this weekend maybe a couple of months from now on , you and the kids can go away that will give you a little break " , l felt all my body parts breaking down when I heard him say that .

" Okay ', l whispered with no sad expression on my face . The kids were around and l didn't want to show them how unhappy l was . " Don't wait up , am gonna be gone till 11 am , be good as mothers are supposed to be " , After a few minutes he stood up , kissed the kid's heads of course Ivan and Chrissy because Jessica just rolled her eyes and walked away . With that he walked out of the house .

After his departure Jessica looked up at me knowing it that am hurt . Seeing her , I shook my head while giving her my brightest smile but of course she knew it that l was faking it . I felt honestly so hurt and at this time l felt like asking for the ground to open up and swallow me .

" Come over guys , l have to drive you to school " , After gathering myself , l carried Ivan , prepared them asap then drove my way to their school . The drive to their school was in just a blink of an eye and on my way back at home , I decided to head straight to Bella's house .

Since it was a weekend , l knew it that she wasn't at work today . " This isn't wrong , l might as well as have some adult time with her " , l kept murmuring to myself as l drove .

Since the kids are about to break up for two weeks , l really needed her advice because l knew it that it will be a non screaming mummy . Mummy we need this , mummy we want toys etc . As l pulled up in her driveway, l saw her talking to her neighbor , a devilishly handsome man .

I knew what she was doing , she has been trying her level best for years to get in his pants . She was lucky he was a young man not like Mark the one l was forced to love . I kept telling her that it is a bad idea to seduce her neighbor . It wasn't like she could pack up and move when things go wrong . Though handsome , he was honestly a manwhore but then I don't blame her ever since she broke up with his boyfriend , every one she gets with don't last .

Her ex hurt her so much but still she works hard to get her neighbor . She doesn't want to settle down . After seeing the way Mark treats me with the kids , she decided to have only one night stands , me to l now regretted it , it's not that l loved him , l was forced up by my mother and fooled by the money he had .

Now everything changed , l stay trapped in the house . I used to work but he also refused me , so am now helpless . " Morning beautiful " ,After watching the neighbor go away , l walked out of the house and made my way to her . " Oh ! Alexa finally you have come " , She spoke excitedly ?

" Yes finally " , l smiled before l pulled her into a tight hug . " You cock blocked me " , She blurted out while pulling away . " Sorry for that , l guess you my situation " , l said with a sad smile on my face . " I know it darling " , She uttered out in a low voice . With her voice , I Knew what she was thinking about , pity was also on her face . Right I hated people who felt sorry for me but at this time it was once . " I just needed to get away for a little , l now didn't want to be in that house anymore , l wanted somewhere else .

" I know it's too early for a gin , but come over and we drink some " , She continued while holding up my hand . " I can't drink you know l have to pick up Ivan in a couple of hours to come " , l murmured while following her . " Well you can watch me drink as you tell me what an asshole your husband has been " , She uttered out and as soon as we entered in her house , she instantly got her gin then sat next to me on the sofa .

" Yeah go on and tell him " , After taking a sip , she turned her attention to me . Already best friends , l didn't hesitate , l began to tell her everything , l told her everything about him coming back late , the no sex , him on the phone every time and the way he looks at me with disgust .

" I feel your pain " , After telling her my sad story , she murmured before placing her gin down on the table . Per now after telling her everything , It felt like a weight had been lifted up from my shoulders . " Leave him alone , you and the kids are welcome here , l decorated their bedrooms a long time ago , come over and stay with me " , She continued .
