Henry: you okay?
I ignored him as I search of what I would really like to eat. I thought about the peanut butter, I have always wanted to eat the butter plain but when I grew up I actually thought it was stupid and unhealthy which is actually funny because right now, I am feeling the butter. I take out and close the fridge then I went to the unit and I open up the liquor shelf and take out a bottle of whiskey and then a spoon. When I turn henry is staring at me and I can’t help but wonder if he is judging my choice of food.
Henry: a night to remember isn’t it.
I ignore him because I am not talking to him right now. I head upstairs and seat on the bed eating the peanut butter and it tastes so good. It sticks to the tongue making it heavy. I fill up my mouth with three big spoons and chew the butter with so much anger as I think about henry and what’s going to happen after this.
When I start feeling like my chest is filling up with too much oil I put the peanut butter bottle away and drink half the bottle of whiskey at one go. Then I catch a breath and finish up the bottle. I can’t remember ever drinking whisky this fast and is there anyone who ever did that. I sign as I realize that I was realizing all my frustrations with the food.
The fact that I am questioning my marriage right now makes me want to scream and cry and literally kill someone. I threw the bottle at the bottle at the glass wall screaming and the bottle smashed into small pieces but the wall didn’t even register a small scratch.
I lie on the bed and cry myself to sleep.
The next day I was woken up by a throbbing head headache and the urgent need to throw up. I get of the bed hurrying to the rest rooms. My stomach turns over everything I ate last night over to my mouth. When I feel better I stand up and take a shower.
I had some painkillers but my head is not giving me a break right now and I know that it’s the results of drinking the way I did last night. I quickly clean up and make breakfast for henry and Emily before I head out to see Tracy at the airport.
After I say my goodbye to Tracy I head to the nearest coffee shop and order the strongest coffee they had. I sat down there for hours thinking about what Henry told me last night. I keep on ignoring the incoming calls from henry. He should know that I am really pissed off right now and I really don’t want to talk to him.
When I finally decided on how to handle the situation at hand I stand to leave only to see henry stomping in to the coffee shop. I sit back and wait for him to sit down.
Henry: why did you leave without telling me?
He is angry now…. Oh for heaven’s sake, he should be begging for my forgiveness right now. I roll my eyes at him and call the waiter for a refill because I sense that my stay here is extended.
Henry: don’t you dare ignore me Trisha
Me: I don’t report to you henry… just like you don’t report to me.
How closes his eyes for a brief moment and seat across me
Henry: look I said I am sorry
Me: I feel like you tricked me into marrying you.
Henry: what do you want me to do?
Me: I feel like you don’t trust me at all
Henry: baby I trust you completely
Me: then you would have told me henry… where is Emily right now?
Henry: with mother
Me: Emily’s mother… was she really a one night stand?
Henry: no actually
Me: she was your girlfriend
Henry: no baby, she was my personal assistant
Could this get anymore worse?
Me: you used to f--k your PA
Henry: it was just when I needed to relieve some stress
Me: oh God…! She really assisted you personally.
The thought made me want to hurl… what do some ladies take themselves for?
Me: I want to meet Emily’s mother
He widens his eyes and then leans over to me.
Henry: are you sure
Me: henry… I want to meet Emily’s mother and now, call her or go and get her I am sure you know where she stays
In the next fifteen minutes a lady enters the restaurant wearing shorts and a V-neck top looking very gorgeous with her styled extra-long kinky hair and flats. She comes straight to us and nervously smiles at henry.
