demeanor spoke volumes. He was successful, sure of himself, and lastly a professional stick in the mud.
    How was she oh so lucky to end up with him? The man she once loved looked like a major prick now that she’s had time to sit back and take a second look. What really threw her for a loop is the person who came in with him. The main reason she came to confront him was with him at that very moment. As if she was a small insignificant being, he didn’t even notice she was there watching his every move. Finally in the midst of him ushering his female associate towards his office door, the secretary alerted him of his visitor. All the while the two women didn’t look too friendly towards one another and that alone was a tell-tell sign of Lamont’s dealings.
    “Danielle, what are you doing here?” Lamont asked sternly.
    “I figured we needed to talk.”
    “Talk? I’m pretty sure whatever you have to talk about could have waited until after business hours.” He reprimanded.
    “It’s nice to see you again… I’m sorry, what was your name again?” Danni ignored her husband and greeted the woman next to him.
    “Yes, it is nice to see you again…” Lamont cut the blonde off before she could finish her statement.
    “I will come around to your office after I deal with my wife.” He shooed her away with ease and snow white gladly bolted out of the office. “Sheri hold all of my calls and visitors until further notice.” He spoke sternly to her.
    “Yes sir.”
    Storming into his office with a bang, Danni noticed right away that he didn’t usher her with any care unlike the way he handled his female counterpart. Slowly she made her way to his door and closing it behind her. Lamont had slung off his suit jacket and even loosened his tie. From the looks of him he was ready for war, like he was stressed out. He had no right to act as if he was going through so many changes when he is the one that is in the wrong. She is the one that has been losing sleep over her marriage, not him. It’s very evident that he could careless that she was in her feelings about something.
    “We discussed this before Danielle. It was decided that you would not continue with these random visits to my place of employment.”
    “Actually you decided. I thought it was dumb.”
    “Excuse me? What has gotten into you?”
    “You heard me Lamont. The real question is why did you want me to stop coming? Unless you are ashamed of me. What is it Lamont? What difference does it really make that I come by every once in a while? I am your wife. Spouses visit one another all of the time.”
    “What is this about? Why are you suddenly nagging me about visiting me at my office? Do we not see one another at home every day? I sleep with you every night.”
    “No you sleep beside me every night. There is a big difference. Choose your words wisely.”
    “You sound like your ghetto sister the way you are running off at the mouth. Has she been filling your head with nonsense?”
    “When did you get a new secretary?” Danni chose to ignore his ignorant comment. They have always gone back and forth with their banter. Lamont calls her and most of her family ghetto.
    “Danielle, I hardly see that as any of your business.”
    “It is when she looks at you the way she does. Is there something I should know about Lamont? You seem awfully chummy with your female counterparts.”
    “You are so insecure. That is very unattractive.”
    “I wouldn’t be insecure if I didn’t suspect my husband of creeping around on me. You make me feel like property, a burden at times, and I am sick of it.”
    “You are my wife but you can be a pest as well.”
    “Excuse me?”
    “You heard me loud and clear, sweetheart. I’m a man and as a man I am not built for this girly tit for tat. When I tell you to watch your tone, I don’t expect to repeat myself more than once. Repeating myself is what one would do to a child and you claim to want one. You are not capable enough
