A week goes by and Ellie is still upset with me and this means no sex. I ignore her at times and rather leave to go to the bar and drink till I forget my name. Sue isn’t online, I call her but there’s no answer. It makes me angry as she already belongs to me even though our relationship is still new. She calls me back after more than 5 hours. I am starting to think she has someone.
“Maybe you can make a way for me to visit you,” she suggests.
“I am busy with work, September maybe? But I will let you know,” I think, lying to a good woman like Sue is not easy. I want an honest relationship with her without this deceit.
I promise to send her money to visit me, but she can’t come here while I am with Ellie. I can feel that she loves me, she is very patient. She has a good heart and I can see her loyalty. She is always laughing when I am talking with her and I take it as a sign of happiness.
She suddenly starts to show a lot of interest in me. It’s been three months and all we do is chat. We chat all day without a break except for when Ellie gets back from work. So I just tell Sue that I am going to sleep and send a good night kiss. She can’t know I live with this damn woman.
“Don’t worry, I will let you visit me when I am free,” my guilt is eating at me.
“OK I will wait,” she chuckles.
Days pass and I hate myself more and more for what I am doing to Sue. If she finds out it will break her heart and she won’t trust me again. I am sure if she knew she would break up with me.
A month later Sue begins sending me love poems. I am love-struck, I look like a teenager even though I am turning 41 I’m behaving like a little boy. I am totally smitten. There are always butterflies in my stomach when I hear from her.
Loving you makes my life sufficient and complete
In the game of love, touch me, kiss me, romance me
My happiness is lost without you
Love is like a flower
It will grow and blossom showing its beautiful nature
Become a fruit which one eats with passion
Love is like the sun and the moon, it shines all over the world
The more you love the more the heart grows fonder
You will wish to embrace the one you love with open arms
That what is love is
This poem makes me want Sue more. I should make a plan to be with her. She is a good romantic poet. When she loves, she gives it her all. I can see she love me truly and honestly.
Due to Ellie’s unbearable shouting I spend my days away from home. I eat at the bar and Ellie has taken my phone again and confronted Sue and persisted on fighting. Home is a warzone and I get no peace. If I could be free I would.
