Didn’t he realize that in order to have kids we needed to at least have sex? Maybe at least once a year!
We were midway through June and I couldn’t remember the last time he touched me. A simple kiss on the forehead was all I had to look forward to these days. Well, not tonight. I pulled myself together, picked up my phone, and called Rachel, my best friend.
She’d told me that marriage would change things between Jake and I. Never in a million years did I think the man who couldn’t get enough of me in and out of the bedroom, three years down the aisle wouldn’t even notice me.
I’d intended to spend my Friday night on the town. That was my plan, to be followed by a romantic evening with my husband. That was obviously far from reality. Jake had only one thing on his mind: a case. If it wasn’t a current case, it would be a future case. Or one that one of the partners was working on. It was always something, ever since he was made partner.
“I’m doing this for us. So when we have kids they will be able to have anything they want.” These were the words that he would repeat whenever I questioned why there was no time for us. I didn’t even think I could conceive anymore. My eggs were probably dead. They had hardly seen any action in the last few months. I’d even stopped taking the pill, as it felt like a joke. The first year of a marriage was hot, the second year was lukewarm, and the third year was just stone cold.
“Rachel, hey, what you up to?” I sighed as soon as she picked up. I had lost all my friends the first year of marriage. It was Jake and I against the world. As soon as I tried to reconnect with them last year, well, let’s just say they didn’t take too kindly to me trying to connect, because of my issues with Jake. Rachel told me that all I did was moan about Jake. If they were in my shoes, they would do the same. That was the problem, none of them could relate. They were all happily married or happy being single, apart from Rachel.
“Charlotte, is that you?”
I was just about to open my mouth to confirm it, but she kept on talking. “Great. I’ve got a problem. Thought you were having a romantic night with Jake, so I never bothered you.” I had sent her an email from work last night saying that Jake was on a trip and Friday night I would make it a night to remember. I was so wrong. Rachel talked like the world was about to end and she had to get everything out of her mouth there and then. “So, my brother’s in town. Dwayne’s here and we’re all ready to go out. It would have been three is a crowd sort of thing. If you’re game, we’ll be there in fifteen.”
With her last words she hung up. Rachel didn’t even wait for me to respond. Typical, I thought as I got up and looked in the mirror and saw the mascara running down my cheek. I needed to clean up and get out of to paint the town and not with my husband. Yet that was nothing new. Nothing new at all....this book is in
