that damn house. So, what does Darrius has to say about it?” Sam asked.
    “I tried to wait up for him last night, but he came home too damn late,” Lizeth answered.
    “Oh,” Sam said.
    “I tried talking to him this morning but he was in a rush so I sent him a text explaining what I wanted to do,” Lizeth said.
    “Damn girl, you’re serious,” Sam giggled.
    “Whatever girl, I am just so ready to get back to work,” Lizeth sighed.
    “Well hopefully he will understand,” Sam said.
    “Yeah I hope so too. I have been out of work for almost two years.”
    “Damn it’s been that long?” Sam said.
    “Yes too damn long,” Lizeth said.
    “Well I am on my way to your house,” Sam told her.
    "Okay, see you soon,” Lizeth said and hung up the phone. I love the way I’m feeling,’ Lizeth thought and smiled to herself.

    “What is this long ass text from Lizeth?” Darrius said, looking down at his phone as he sat in the parking lot at his job.
    “Darrius I have been doing a lot of thinking and I think it’s time I went back to work. I understand that I said that I would stop working and become a stay at home wife because you said you didn’t want me working, however that is not what I want anymore. I have been out of work for too long and I really want to get back into it. I supported you when you started up your company and all I ask is you support me with my decision to go back into the work force.”…
    Darrius stopped reading the text as he was becoming angry. Has she lost her damn mind? She’s still going on with this bullshit? Darrius thought. Darrius yelled in his car as he punched the wheel. Not today, I do not need this today, he thought to himself. I will have to deal with her later.
    Darrius took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and just sat in silence for a few minutes. I have to be on point today, Darrius thought. Darrius then shot a quick text back to Lizeth. “The answer is no, we will talk later.” He got out his car and headed into his office to prepare for his meeting with Mr. Carter.

    “I cannot believe he told me no.  I am not some damn child!” Lizeth said to Sam as they were leaving the gym.
    “He got some damn nerve, he wouldn’t be telling me no,” Sam said.
    “Yeah you right, I didn’t go to law school to let it go to waste,” Lizeth said.
    “I know that’s right girl,” Sam agreed.
    “He needs to stop trying to make me be like his mother,” Lizeth said.
    Sam gave her a confusing look. “Wait, what? What do you mean like his mother?” Sam asked, grabbing Lizeth by the arm.
    “Well when Darrius was growing up his father was the breadwinner in the house and his mother was the housewife.  Darrius has always wanted that,” Lizeth explained.
    “That explains why he doesn’t want you working,” Sam said.
    “But now it’s not what I want.  In the beginning it was okay and I didn’t mind, but I was hoping that it didn’t have to be forever.  I would like to get back to work. I was just starting to make a name for myself,” Lizeth said.
    “Well if it means that much to you, then you should go back to it no matter what,” Sam advised.
    “After our little confrontation it did get me to thinking that I have changed. I do not want to be a housewife,” Lizeth said.
    “Just like me to cause trouble,” Sam said with a grin.
    “No you didn’t. It just made me realize how I’ve been asleep for too long.  I’m wide awake now,” Lizeth said.
    “I agree with you, do what makes you happy,” Sam said.
    “I want to be able to move without him knowing my every move. I am sure there are things he does that he does not tell me,” Lizeth said.
    “You think so?” Sam asked.
    “Hell yeah,” Lizeth said.
    “So now that you’re sure on what you’re going to do, let’s head out to grab some food,” Sam said, quickly changing the subject.
    “Yeah, I am hungry and clear on my choice,” Lizeth said. Change is in the air, Lizeth thought
