"If you say you made a mistake to me you can take your stuff and get out of my house!" yelled Reba as the tears rolled down her face.
"I'm not going to say that Reba cause I've lost all feelings for Barbra Jean." Being with you these past two weeks made me realize how much I missed having you as my wife."
"No you haven't lost all feelings for Barbra Jean because I can see it in your eyes." you have that I should have ran after her look!" taking a seat on the couch.
(Sighs) "I don't want to run after her but I do want to fight for my son." said Brock taking a seat next to Reba.
Reba could feel the guilt inside her begin to rise like wildfire knowing that Barbra Jean might not be her best friend more like a enemy who she wished would jump off the face of the earth. Knowing she was hurting like she did when she took Brock away from her was really leaving a bad taste in her mouth an she didn t like it.
"Brock I'll be right back." getting up from the couch as she grabs her coat an heads to the front door.
"Where you going?" asked Brock
"Going to meet with a friend." walking out the front door.
Reba walks up to Barbra Jean's front door an pauses as she lightly knocks on the door.
"I want to talk to you."
"Why?"
"Can I come in?"
"Sure." motioning her to come in.
"Listen Barbra Jean I'm not sure how to say this because I'm not good at these kind of speeches, but here it goes." "Don't take Henry away from Brock just because you re mad at me."
"Me mad." grabbing old picture frames as she breaks one accidently putting them in her suitcase.
"Barbra Jean! would you stop it!" I feel bad enough as it is!" I hurt you like you hurt me!"
"Hurt you?" You don't know hurt Reba!" I had a child with this man an his baby boy is always asking me where is Daddy?"
"I have to lie to him Reba do you know how much that hurts!"
"Hold it right there Barbra Jean!" I had three kids with Brock!" and I know how it feels to tell your child that daddy is not coming home!" I was lying to them too!" So yes I know how it hurts!"
Barbra Jean sighs as she realizes she made her best friend feel the same way she does now." Reba I'm sorry I got mad I'm just not as strong as you I guess that's something I'm going to have to work on."
"Oh believe me I'm not strong at all, but enough about that just do me a favor don't take Henry away from him just to try to make him hurt more than he already is." said Reba as she walks out the front door leaving Barbra Jean at the dining room table with a half bottle of white wine.
Reba opened the front door to see Brock asleep on the couch grabbing the blanket from the arm chair as she wraps him up in it while she goes upstairs to bed turning out the lights.
Brock was sitting at the kitchen table drinking his coffee as he reads the morning newspaper looking up to see Reba walking in. "Morning Honey."
Reba ignored him as she poured herself some coffee an notices he left the toaster out again. "Brock!" I have told you a thousand times to put the toaster back!"
"I left it out because I wanted to make up with you." Relax an have a seat." pulling out her chair "I'm sorry that I made you mad at me."
"It's okay." I was kinda mad at myself last night." taking a seat next to him
"Why?"
"Because I hurt Barbra Jean like she hurt me." I went over an talked to her an tried to make her not take the custody papers to the courthouse."
"Reba I can fight my own battles but thanks for being there for me."
"You welcome." smiling up a him.
Brock puts the toaster back as he pours himself another cup of coffee. What do you say we go out to dinner tonight just the two of us?"
"You paying?"
"Yes."
"Good." Then I get to pick the place we go to eat at." smiling as she walked
"Your wish is my command." smiled Brock as he cleaned up the kitchen while Reba got dressed for work.
It was about five O clock in the evening as Reba walked through the front door ready to take off her high heel shoes that she had been wearing all day. "I hate high heel shoes !" throwing them across the room "Hey honey." Rough day at work?" asked Brock walking into the living room carrying two glasses of wine dressed in a tux "My don't you look handsome." said Reba taking her wine glass from him an giving him a gently kiss on the lips "Why thank you." said Brock smiling "I better get dressed." Give me fifteen minutes." said Reba walking upstairs to her bedroom Reba put on a little black dress kinda like the one she saw in Reba Mc Entire's video for Strange. Dabbing on some perfume before heading downstairs to show Brock her dress. "So how do I look?" spinning around "You look beautiful." So what did you pick my lady?" "Italian." "Mmm.." sounds good "By the way I love you." smiling as she walked out the front door "I love you too Reba." closing the front door behind him. Chapter 11 is coming soon...
