His Work Wife Read Free Page A

party with Keisha and Kadeema. Oh, it got even better. Keisha had not shown up. So, he actually spent the day with Kadeema! My mind was racing! He spent the day with another woman? Even knowing how I felt about her and he still spent the day with her? While I was home playing Susie-fucking-homemaker to our kids, he had the audacity to be spending the day with some bum bitch? I wondered what the hell was going to happen next.
    We argued all day about that shit. He tried to persuade me that nothing was going on and that I was just overreacting like I did last time. But to me, one time was one too damn many! We shouldn’t have even been going through this. If I told his ass once that I didn’t appreciate his friendship, or whatever it was, with this bitch, then that should have been the end of it. He damn sure shouldn’t have been spending the fucking day with her. Besides, if it was nothing, why didn’t he tell me? Better yet, why didn’t he invite me? A damn block party! He never wanted to go anywhere without me. Hell, we would argue about me wanting to stay home. I used to tell him to go and have fun with his boys because I trusted him.
    This was all wrong. Until recently, nothing much had changed besides nine years of marriage and two beautiful kids. There was a time when women would throw themselves at him and he would ignore their advances. He would even come and tell me about it. However, I never questioned it until now. Something was different this time.
    I knew damn well he knew I was smarter than this. I could see his lies a mile away. I didn’t take too kindly to him looking me in my face and lying to me about this chick. I hoped I wouldn’t have to act a fool with this chick. This was my family and I was not about to let it slip through my fingers. I didn’t trust this chick. Scratch that, I didn’t trust NO chick, where my husband was concerned. If I had to, I was going to go hard for what was mine.  All I could say was that Kadeema wasn’t going like me if we had to come face to face!

Chapter Three: Presley
     
    The next two weeks were tumultuous at best. Ty and I argued day and night after the block party incident. Catching him in various lies and having to dissect his excuses had grown tiresome very early. To make matters worse, Tyrone’s birthday was vastly approaching and I just wasn’t in the mood.  Generally, I went all out for his birthday, but the tension was way too thick right now.  This was my responsibility to make sure he enjoyed his day because I was his wife. I got the feeling that didn’t mean shit to him. Honestly, since he was attending block parties with Kadeema’s mangy ass, maybe she could get him a gift. I mean since he couldn’t seem to do without her!
    Ty was on vacation the week prior to his birthday. I hated it. Our lives consisted of arguing every damn day. I couldn’t WAIT for him to take his ass back to work. Ugh!
    The day of his birthday, Tyrone and I were watching television when his phone rang.
    “Hello?” he answered.
    “Hey, you at home?” the woman asked.
    “Uhh, yeah.”
    “Okay, call me later.”
    Now, I know this idiot doesn’t think I am deaf! I KNOW he knows I heard that shit! So, here we go again with this shit!
    “Uh… who the fuck was THAT asking you if you are at home?!” I yelled, looking at him sideways. “Before you answer, I heard the bitch’s voice!”  I actually had to keep myself from laughing because the stupid look on Ty’s face was priceless.
    He looked at me as if he was surprised I even said something. He knew better. Wouldn’t you know he had the nerve to catch an attitude?
    “Umm, that was Kadeema calling to tell me happy birthday,” he responded. “I mean damn, Presley! Why do we have to start my birthday weekend off like this?”
    “Because NO bitch, especially Kadeema, needs to be calling you! Not only that, but this chick feels comfortable calling you on a fucking Saturday? When she knows you’re at home with your
