Love Me Again

Episode 7

FAST FORWARD TO PRESENT

“Appreciate even the worse character of your partner, don’t try to change it you might lose them, its better you point it out sometimes”
It was Saturday so I knew she might oversleep like she does these days, but was surprised to wake up and Barbara was not beside me, i thought I was watching over her when I carried her in last night, Did I sleep off, how?
I asked myself I walked down to the sitting room and looked all over and there was no sign of my wife, My eyes caught food on the table, then I remembered yesterday’s experience, I decided to ignore I went to meet Ibweke my gateman and asked the whereabouts of my wife, he said she saw her going out

Her car was parked in the garage, Close to an hour she entered, the room

Babs: Good morning I hope you saw your food

Me: Yeah, but I didn’t touch it, you can eat yourself

Babs: sorry about last night, today is better, should I come feed you Darl…

Me: I quickly cut her off before she could finish, Babs I need no drama this early morning

Babs: sorry, she walked away in what seems like tears I wished I could console her, but that hatred part of me was holding me back. The day was uneventful, Babs was in doors throughout until I heard a knock on my door while I was trying to take a nap in the sitting room. I opened just to see who it was then my demeanor changed

Dr Livie: Hello Clyde

Me: I stood at the door for some time and he asked aren’t you going to let me in,
Then I heard my wife’s footstep coming down I stepped aside for him to enter and gave a fake smile

Then my wife came down to meet us, he made way to go hug Babs, And I interrupted saying come on let’s sit here,

Babs see to our guest. He followed me to the sitting area, we exchanged pleasantries Babs brought him water and a drink, I gave her a look that would have given her a heart attack if not for the fact that she understood me She sat down beside me, then I asked her to get me a drink myself Just to avoid her seeing Livie

Me: what brings you here today, been a while

Dr Livie: Can’t I visit my friends and my patient anymore

Me: yes you can, that was sarcastic, I meant is everything okay since you’ve never been to our house before. How did you even know our house address. Hope it wasn’t difficult to locate.

I asked just to satisfy my own curiosity

Dr Livie: Oh how! I have been here on two occasions, but always met your absence. It seems I always come at the wrong time.
But then, haven’t seen you guys in a while, Barbara hasn’t been to any of her appointments and she keeps ignoring my calls. Wanted to find out if everything is alright
Just when he mentioned why he was there,
Babs came in with the drink and made a gesture to talk but I interrupted

Me: emmmmmmm, we are around just that…….. I was cut short by Barbara
I was so furious within me when I heard he was here in my absence,

Then I kept playing some drama’s in my head, what could they have done. OMG!!! Babs you have killed me, I thought

Babs: I travelled somewhere with my husband for some time,I did see your calls and I definitely planned on returning them, but then wanted to do that when I get back I was impressed what a perfect lie my wife has told, I wasn’t sure if Dr. Livie believed but he left after some few minutes on an emergency call he had.

Then I became worried, does he have my wife’s new number, When did he call, was it after or before I changed her line? Immediately he left, I saw him to his car, when I got back, I saw Barbara waiting with folded arms behind the door
