Our Marriage, Divorce and Love

On their wedding day, a handsome groom and his beautiful bride said, "I Do." Their hearts were fluttering with pure joy! They had married the love of their life! Is this what I experience? No, this is not that story. Here is the other version, Tameka Morton's version. You see, love didn't become apparent until after my divorce. I can't wait to tell you from beginning to end how it all transpired. The day I said "I do," I thought I would be floating on cloud nine, right? But, instead, my heart fluttered, not with pure joy but with fear! Because my rose color glasses had been removed and I saw the man, I had made my vows to love and deeply respect in a different light. He was my one true love. But I found out he didn't feel the same about me on our wedding day. Okay, to be perfectly honest with you and me. I knew he wasn't head over heels in love with me. But ladies, you know what I thought. I thought he would eventually fall in love with me because I'm sweet and love this man s

"Copeland, did you hear her? I know I heard her loud and clear. She's still a married woman, humph! I thought you told me she wanted this divorce! It doesn't seem that way. I felt so humiliated sitting there listening to her brag about her marriage to you and how she takes her vows seriously." "Lizzy, I told you she was going to divorce me. If you had been willing to wait, you would have heard for yourself." "I don't believe you! All she was going to do his flaunt her marriage to you in front of my face. I know how women can be Copeland! I don't want to talk anymore. Bye!" Lizzy got out and slammed the car door! "Man! Women!" Copeland frustratedly answered his ringing phone. "Hello!" He answered firmly. "Hey man, whatever women problems you have, don't take it out on me." "Oh hey, Joel, What's up?" "I should be asking you that. But, instead, do you want to talk about it over a drink while I prepare to open the nightclub?" "I'll see you at King's shortly." Copeland pull

I came home from shopping for the party all alone. If you paid Copeland Morton Junior to do so, the man couldn't keep a promise to me. I had only an hour to get dressed and head out the door. When I finally looked in the mirror one last time. I was proud of how everything came together. I must admit. I look pretty good. I knew I didn't have the traditional look of many cute girls. I have one of those faces that look mature but very pretty. My figure looked terrific in this gown. The sales lady helped me pick the perfect evening gown to accent my body type. Since I had curves, the dress fell in just the right places on my slender frame. I like that I wasn't too tall but not too short either. Nothing was out of place on me tonight. From my hair, makeup, nails, and the beautiful gown I had chosen to wear tonight, it all was perfect! I left the bedroom, picked up my clutch, and walked to the living room. By the time I reached the sofa, I had started feeling overwhelmed. I guess Copeland

I couldn't stop thinking about my pain. "Where is he keeping those divorce papers? If a divorce is what he wants, I will give it to him!" The more and more I thought and imagined Copeland and Lizzy laughing about how he humiliated me tonight in front of everyone by causing a scene and then spilling champagne all over my beautiful gown. It infuriated me to no end! "Where are those stupid papers?!" I shouted.I want to get this over with now! I broke down crying. All I wanted was to devote tonight to openly weeping-deep, heart-wrenching sobs that begin to unleash on their own. "Tomorrow, I'm heading home to my job and life in Paris. I don't have to stay here and be humiliated this way!"Unexpected Visit _ Copeland (POV)I pulled into the driveway, parking the car at the side door entrance leading directly to the kitchen. I came into the house, which was dark, calling out. "Tameka! Are you here?" There was no answer to my call. "I guess Tameka went to Lynette's house. I can't believe

Of course, I was dressed and ready with five minutes to spare. So I sat on the sofa waiting, drinking a glass of water. Copeland finally made his way down the stairs. I pretended not to notice him, but how could I not? Copeland walked before me, tucking his shirt down in his jeans. 'I can't believe I'm married to this man!' He's even more handsome now than he was three years ago. But, then, his early twenties only touched the surface of what he has become today. My goodness! Copeland had the perfect butt, and his jeans seemed to take pleasure in cupping it just right. A well-fitted T-shirt that showed off those broad manly shoulders. Copeland's hair is perfectly combed and in place. I sank into my chair, sipping my water as I shifted my eyes in another direction. "I see it still takes you forever to get dressed?" I uttered. "I still have a minute before I'm actually on time. Thank you very much, Mrs. Morton!" Copeland smiled as the feeling of freedom eased it's way back into h
