Day Eleven – Rainbows and Watercolors

A SMALL RAINBOW PEEKED over the edge of the crest, reminding both Zeke and Tameka of God’s promise to never flood the earth again. However, the constant onslaught of rain made them both start to wonder if there was any human life left in the valley at the base of the mountain. The downpour had finally stopped, but the constant drizzle maintained the outside dampness and slushy red clay walkways. If the weather was not so ugly the surroundings would have been serene.

“Tameka, I made some grits and eggs for breakfast,” Zeke told her, doling out a large serving of white ground corn.

“I hate grits,” she said, coming to the kitchen and looking at the plate with a frown.

“It’s the fastest way to pack on the pounds. Two bowls a day and by the end of the week, we can have a few more pounds on that thin frame,” he said.

“Zeke, I wasn’t really that big before. You also have to remember, I ran barefoot through woods in a torrential downpour while in labor,” she said as his facial expression registered an ah-ha moment. “I never really eat much, which is why his attempt to control me with food and water didn’t work,” she added as a point of interest.

“Control you?”

“Yeah, men like that are all about control. I took his away by never reacting or responding to him,” she said flatly, sitting at the table, frowning at the meal before her.

Zeke’s eyes went to the baby sleeping peacefully, quietly wondering, but afraid to ask. At some point he must have had some kind of control. There is evidence by way of that child. She knew what he was thinking.

“I was not conscious when she was made.”

“Michelle, her name is Michelle,” he emphasized, touching her hand. Tameka didn’t pull away from his touch.

“He drugged me at least three times. Twice there was residual evidence of what he’d done. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the deposits, I wouldn’t have known he’d been there,” she said, spooning in a mouthful of grits. “It really makes me wonder how men with such tiny penises regard themselves and their manhood.”

He didn’t want to react, but he let her hand go. “Tiny?”

She looked up at him. “Yeah, like a hardened Vienna Sausage. He had the nerve to show it to me that first day of my captivity and I actually laughed at him before I kicked his tiny little wiener,” she said.

“We don’t have to talk about this if you don’t want, Tameka.”

“It’s fine, Zeke. He touched my body, but he never touched me. I kind of hid in my own head whenever he would come around. Sometimes he would be gone for an entire week, but when he noticed the changes in my body, he tried to bring me better food. I didn’t trust him. I ate very little, but enough to sustain...Michelle’s life,” she said.

“I...I’m so sorry this happened to you,” Zeke said, looking at her with an open-heart filling with all sorts of emotions.
