A Woman's Flight Chapter 10

Her bedroom had a single twin sized bed with immaculately folded sheets and a single wooden desk set with a chair sitting underneath it. There was a single window leading out into the parkway and let in a little bit of the light from the sodium lamps outside as they explored each others bodies for the first time in the her bed. They didn't need to turn on the light. All they needed was their touch and their hand and their senses as he pleased her like she had never been pleased by any single man. It was at that point that she decided that she wanted to be with him while for him he was thinking how lucky he was to have gotten such a hot woman to sleep with him and how soon could they do it again.

It was soon after their first date that she began planning for their wedding. Looking back she knows she should have seen the warning signs coming but she was so blinded by the physical passion and deep physical attraction she had for him that she let certain things slip. More importantly she was trying to prove to herself more than anyone else that he was nothing like her father and that he would always be with her.

She imagined them growing old together with 2 or 3 kids and raising them in Tyler until she finally had grandchildren of her own. She saw the whole image in her head. She could even envision the house they would live in for the rest of their lives. She wanted so bad to believe in this illusion of him and her future that she lost herself and her sense of reality.

The very next day that he came over should have been her clue that they were from completely different worlds and wanted completely different things out of life. When he came over to her house the first thing that came out of his mouth was, “Geez woman this place looks like an old folks home. I didn't want to say anything the first time that we were having sex but it just darn near turned me off coming in here and seeing just how this place is. It reminds me of my old grandma's house and the last thing I want to be thinking while having sex with anyone is my grandma.”

If this had been anybody else she would have said, Well if you don't like the way you see my place than you can kindly leave the door the same way you came in.” but she wanted so bad to impress him and to keep him that instead she said, “ Well if you don't like it maybe I can make some changes. We could work on it together if you want. It could be like a project. I just don't want you to leave. Not after our last night together. I have never felt anything like that before and I feel like we are forming a strong connection with each other and I can see us living with each other for a long time”

His next response should have told her everything she needed to know about him and his intentions but she was so wrapped in not wanting to lose him that she was willing to do whatever it took to keep him. When she looked up into his eyes he looked back at her and said, “ Well I know at least I had a good time and it seemed you had a good time as well but I am not sure if I am quite ready for all of that marriage and family stuff yet hun. I have got too much going on in the back burner if you know what I mean and even as pretty as you are I am just not the settling type for nobody lil miss. “

At that point something in her chest sank and she felt as if all of her hopes and dreams of being with him for a long time had fallen out the window and that she was a fool for allowing him into her bed so soon without truly knowing his motives and what he wanted but there was another part of her that was thinking in the back of her mind,” Well I will get this man yet. He is going to marry me whether he knows it or not. We have too strong of a connection to let him go. I am sure I can change his mind. I am sure that if I just do everything for him and he sees how good I am as a wife he will have to settle and accept.

It took about 6 months for to them to officially get married. About 5 months into the relationship she asked him if he wanted to get married. His look of shock should have said it all but he figured since he was shacking up with her and she was at least cleaning his clothes and making dinner and the sex was still great might as well just throw her a bone and at least see if he could marry her just for the sake of appeasing her and to keep her on his good graces.
