popped up out of thin air.
“Oh nothing honey. Do you want me to fix you a plate?”
“Yes please. Thank you honey.” Lamont kissed her so tenderly that put a bright smile on her face.
“You’re welcome.” She walked away feeling thankful for her husband even if he never had time for her. Reminding herself that she could have a bum for a husband and then what would she complain about?

Returning home from the barbeque, Danni had planned on seducing her husband. Her own needs hadn’t been met since their anniversary. Only a fragment of it was met then, now she craved a man’s touch. Her hormone level was atrocious. She was like a humping frou-frou dog. All she wanted was for her kitty to be petted. Lamont stated he had some business calls to return in his office so Danni went to their room to turn up her seduction.
Like so many times before she was soon doused with a cold bucket of reality. A bucket of ice cold water was dumped on her plans when Lamont came in claiming he had a business trip he needed to attend to. For the first time in a very long time, Danni blew up. She had been holding in her loneliness for far too long. He was going to feel her frustration, this she was sure of. How he reacted was not what she expected.
“Lamont this is bullshit!” Danni exclaimed.
“Who are you yelling at?” Lamont stopped what he was doing to face off with Danni.
“You are the only one in this room. I am sick and tired of you neglecting me.”
“Neglecting you. Woman I have work to do.”
“That’s all you ever do is work. Hell, work me for a change.” Danni countered. “Make love to me. Lick me. Fuck me. Screw me. Anything!”
“You know how much I despise that vulgar language. What has gotten into you? I can’t believe you are throwing a temper tantrum because I have business to handle. We have the rest of our lives to make love. I need to be on the road soon, we can make love when I return.”
“Making love sounds all fine and dandy but how long does it take to fuck me? We used to grab quickies all of the time. Are you not attracted to me anymore? What is it? You couldn’t keep your hands off of me in the beginning.”
“That’s what this is about. That I won’t screw you like some common whore?” Danni remained silent. “Are you a common whore?”
“Of course not.”
“Why would I screw you like one?” Lamont didn’t even give her a chance to reply as he was steadily packing as they bickered. “I don’t have time for this. I have a plane to catch.”
“You’re just going to leave in the middle of this.”
“Yes because this is silly. I love you. Committed to you. Most women would be overjoyed to have a hard working man like me and here you are complaining.”
“Lamont…”
“Save it. Use this time to think about the mess you have caused.” He left Danni questioning herself on whether she was being too hard on him. Now she was confused about what her true argument really was.

Currently she was finishing up with a client when she got another anonymous email. Choosing to ignore it for the time being and focus on the little girl in her presence. It was the same girl that Beejay wanted her to counsel. In the beginning she came off as a hard case. Angry with everyone that got near her but she was slowly warming up to Danielle. By allowing the little girl to call her Danni it seemed to get her to come around a little better. It didn’t go unnoticed the sympathetic look that crossed her baby face when Beejay stuck his head in to let her know he was around. Even the mention of her father sparked some emotions that Danni hoped to delve into over a period of time.
