Chapter 1- Mondays
Present January 2017
"FUCK!" I yell as Tina my assistant drops a heavy document on my desk with the words Divorce Forms, my chest aches a little looking at the yellow envelope on my desk I mean it's a divorce? From someone that's supposed to love you no matter what? How could it not make your heart hurt? I pick up the envelope and mutter to myself "I don't have time for this shit Tina" as I drop the folder back on her desk. "Ms. Lopez your wife says-" Tina tries to say but I cut her off there "No Tina she is not my wife and I don't have time for this crap I have to get my daughter from school" I storm back into my office and pick up my bags getting ready to leave. I love Mondays I know it sounds weird but I do mostly because I get to pick up my daughter from school she literally helps me get through my week she's my perfect thing. As I grab my phone from my desk I leave for the door when Tina blocks my way "what Tina! I'm gonna be late" I try but she doesn't move instead she waves the yellow folder waiting for me to take it, tapping her foot on the ground and smirking at me. she waits. "I'm not taking it Tina" she shakes her head and refuses to move truth be told I know she's only doing this for my own good but damn she's so annoying with her 'I'm only trying to help attitude' I huff and give up as 10 minutes go by I snatch the
folder from her hand and she makes a walkway for me as she leans out of the way "damn Tina why do you always do this?" I say as I storm by her. "I'm only trying to help Ms. Lopez" she yells as I run out of my office and out into the city streets, New York has always been beautiful for me especially coming from Lima, Ohio this city is a dream come true I like the fast paced nature its more my style then boring Lima but my wife begs to differ.
Ugh my wife just that word stings my ears, don't get me wrong I loved my wife I still do but this whole divorce crap is really irritating me I don't have time for it running a record company isn't all fun and games. I totally agree though that our marriage just wasn't working all we did was fight yeah sure in the beginning it was fun and all lovey dovey but shit happens I guess.
I shake my head of these thoughts as I see my daughters school I run up to the door way to eager and suddenly I'm greeted by a thousand screaming kids I look left to right trying to find my little princess but I can't and instantly I become worried I frown a little wondering why I cant find her but thinking to soon I see her little blonde head peak through the crowd. She runs through the crowd and I crouch down to her level as she embraces me in the best hug ever she smiles and says "Mom! Mom! Guess what we learned about love in class today!" "oh really?" I say in complete interest although the topic of love is kind of touchy for me "what did you learn about love?" I ask as I grab her little hand and walk out of the school. "just that love is special and one of a kind and that there's different kinds of love there's family love than there's love love" she says, my eyebrows furrow as confusion takes over "love love? What's that?" I ask as we walk up to my apartment building "well" she starts "love love is the kinda love you have with someone special like what you had with mommy" I cringe at the word had giving it a past tense love I still loved my wife it just wasn't working. "Anita sweety I still love your mother we just decided it was better this way" I try to explain the best I can to a 9 year old about what divorce is " I know mommy" she says in the smallest voice my heart breaks a little hearing how much pain she's in seeing her parents like this "look" I start "nothing changes alright? We still love you just as much as we did before we split up okay? So stop the pouting and let me see that shining smile" I say while tickling her. "okay mommy okay!" she yells as I pick her up and take her to the apartment, as I open the door I put her down and go straight to the kitchen all of a sudden I hear little feet coming up beside me
"hey mommy?" she whispers as I get some glasses "yea hun?" I say waiting for her reply which doesn't come until after a very long pause which worries me. "Can you tell me the story about you and mommy?" I smile a little confused about what she means "What do you mean? Like how we met?" I ask "yeah! But I don't wanna know just about mommy I wanna know about the other girlfriends before you and mommy got married" still a little baffled by her question I say "I don't know hun I only had 2 serious other girlfriends before me and your mom got married I don't find the point?" her smile falters a bit "mommy please! I wanna know about all three of them! Please!" she cries as she grabs my arm. I think for a while before I answer and I decide on a little game to play with her "okay you want to know? I'll tell you but I'm changing all of their names so your going to have to figure out which one your mom is deal?" her smile grows wide at my little game "OKAY OKAY A GAME YAY!" she yells as she jumps up and down I smile a little still wondering how this came about.
After about 10 minutes of her being excited and jumping up and down I cut in "Anita what made you want to know about this?" I ask she smiles even more and says "Our teacher today told us about how she met her husband and the people she was with before him to 'elaborate' on the meaning of true love and how it always finds a way" I smile at how smart she is "alright go get ready for bed and I'll tell you all about it okay?" I say and she scampers off to get ready I suddenly become a bit nervous telling her about this not because of my wife which is weird maybe this wasn't such a good idea…
