Him called insistingly.I finally decided I would pick up the call.

"I'll say nothing.I'll let him talk alone,get angry and drop the phone."
I said to myself.

I was tired of being the other lady.I was always put aside abrubtly.I needed to be valued.Why was I this desperate?
Him and his family were happy.I was sitting here all alone every night and every morning.

''I will call off this whole thing.'' I thought to my sad self.

I needed to have a man of my own.It must be adorable to have a man like Him as a spouse for life.Oh how I wished Him was mine.

"That's your biggest flaw Christa.You think Him is perfect and unique.You'll definitely not see the real man when time comes.I hope time waits for you poor girl."
My mind police was never wrong.Him was my Superman.I wanted no one else but Him as a spouse.I was ready to be a seventh wife if I could.
Pure desperacy!!

What did he even think he was?
I'll not take this darling thing this time around.He did not even call to know about my travelling modalities.He did not see me the last week and just some sent vague messages of ''I'm very busy darling''.
Was Collins my new mate?
Why would he ask Collins take care of everything?
I dreamed of a memorable good bye night.All I had was a story telling night with Collins.
He told me strange Italian tales till very late in the night.Poor boy.He was so committed to his task of companion.I can't even remember half of just one of the tales.I was thinking about Him all through.

My phone was ringing on and on.Knowing my man he won't drop this soon.I picked up the call

"Baby I can't believe you're trying not to talk to me.What's the problem?"
Him asked with a very serious voice.

I knew this vocal note so well.He won't intimidate me this easily.I did not respond.

"Baby talk to me please.I know you're once more fed up by my irregularities.We can talk things out my love.I could not go home without talking to you.Please sweetheart I promise to make it up to you I swear."

My frowning face suddenly glittered at the hear of the last words.This was Him.He knew just what to say to get me melting.

''Daddy I can't believe you just left me in Italy to some family friend." I managed to voice out in happy anger.

Him was good at begging.He was not voilent nor agressive.He could cool off a volcano just with his lips.

''Darling my son had an interview and I had to help him out with modalities.Please my love forgive your daddy.Can I see your pretty face?" Him added on.

At the mention of his son's interview i grew angry again.It was always about his wife or kids. I was tired of listening to this all the time.

''No I'm in the dark you can't see my face." I retorted angrily.

''Are you kidding me Christa? I'm not finding this conversation very funny you know?" Him became very serious again.

I wanted a quarel.I needed one.I needed Him to get angry and not talk to me for like a year or so!
I did not know how to go about it.I loved Him so much that upsetting him was not an easy task for me.

''I'm sorry daddy." I replied switching in the video request.He was visibly very tensed and tired.Probably a long day at work.

He smiled again.I smiled too.That was enough for us to forget our grudges.

''I'll be coming home for christmas with my wife and kids''...
