Quotes: TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT
YOU, MISSING YOU IS SUCH A WEIGHT
VAST:ONE MORE DAY
"Babe you are home so early "
(No answer)
"Babe"
"Marco am talking to you" I said to Marco who seem to be lost in thought.
"Hmm" was all he replied as he tossed a letter at me.
I picked it up opened it as my eyes glance through it only to discover it was a sack letter.
" oh my, marco am so sorry how did this happen?"
"Are you okay, what did they said the reasons were" I asked not giving him chance to answer as I inspect him looking for any form of hurt and when I found none, I hugged him.
" I don't know Alice ,they say company development ,but why did it have to be me "
" It okay honey ,shit happened , but not to worry you will get a better job in no time ,you will see,after all ( i pause thinking of what to say to cheer him up ) you are my super mario " i said as I pulled his cheek and planted a kiss on his lips.
And like I predicted he smiled.
"My name is Marco and not mario" he said before he took my lips in a hot kiss . And when we broke the kiss to catch our breath , I could only smiles because the worried, lost look I saw was all gone and now replaced with lust and love and I could only shake my head I will never get enough of him.
Days turned into weeks and weeks into months and still Marco hasn't gotten any job. I had to take a part time job at a store because we had already eaten off Marco savings and my salary wasn't enough for the bills and feeding, couple with my pregnancy it was getting bigger and stressful by the day
"Useless" followed by the sound of glasses shattering on the floor. I rushed to the kitchen noticing the cut on his hand and the broken glass on the floor
" Marco, what was that for"
" our water has gone off, clearly because we can't pay the bills" he cursed and punched the cabinet above him
"Enough Marco , or you will hurt yourself"
"Exactly Alice, of what use am I , I can't even help out with simple water bill, am not happy having to see you work yourself out
"Come on , marco am not complaining, I still have a little cash left from my previous salary tho not enough to offer set all the bills but will be enough to pay and have them give us water" I said as I make my way to him avoiding the broken glass on the floor while rubbing my tommy which has become a hobby of mine.
" isn't that the money for your check up" he asked sounding frustrated
"Yes but not to worry I will call aunty Lucy to lend me some money, I know she will never say no"
" oo Alice am sorry I , couldn't give you the life I promised "
"Stop it now marco, we love each other that all that matters and we will surely get through this" I said as I planted a kiss on his hurt finger bring me in contact with his blood.
And we stayed that way taking comfort in each other hands not minding the broken glass around us.
He was my everything and I was his.
After that day the peaceful atmosphere that covered my home turned cloudy, we disagreed on the littlest of things, from one argument to the other it could be over food, air condition, fuel, car or even space in the wardrobe, I would call aunty Lucy sometimes after some of the fight . she will always tell me to be patient and calm with him that he was depressed , true but she forgot I was pregnant and depressed too. I got tired of listening to her that at some point I stopped calling her.
The fight continued sometimes he was the one to start it , while other times it was me. I took a third job as a housing agent I know it wasn't easy for me but I really needed the extra cash and most importantly I needed to stay away from all our fights I was getting sick of it, and as if he felt it too he stopped doing things to provoke me and spent most of his time when he wasn't out looking for job in the garden and playing game. Luckily for him his friend who moved to the down side of Chicago gave him ,his car and ps5.
