Last night was barely eventful. Although we had sex three times, it wasn’t the sex I was used to having with him. He barely made a peep, and although he gave me aftercare of a bubble bath and washing my hair, it wasn’t the same.

This morning he was up before me, which isn’t unusual. He made breakfast and fed me, but I could tell it wasn’t because he wanted to but more so out of routine. And that’s that shit I don’t like. We had angry sex after breakfast, and although the juice box still got wet, I was not here for the disconnect between us.

I felt like I was walking on eggshells and tiptoeing around him because although he said nothing was wrong, his body language screamed that there was. Like right now, he was being stubborn. Instead of laying on the longer couch with me, his too-mad ass was all bunched up on the loveseat.

“Marcellus, come lay with me.”

“I’m good,” he said unenthusiastically as his left leg dropped from the arm of the loveseat. “You leaving tonight or tomorrow before work?”

He usually got our Cozy Crib from Friday to Monday just in case we decided to have a lazy Sunday of love making and a late dinner.

“I haven’t decided yet. What about you?”

“Same.”

We were quiet for a minute while Blacklist played on TV. When I grew tired of the silence, I turned the TV off and dropped the remote on the coffee table.

“You weren’t the only one watching TV, Temperance.”

I shrugged. “Can we please talk about whatever this is and clear the air? I hate the space we’re in, Roman.”

He sighed. “There’s nothing to talk about, Temperance. I’m good.”

“No, you’re not. I’ve been ‘Temperance’ since yesterday. We don’t have to have the threesome.”

“Nah, it’s what you want. Stand on that.”

I sucked my teeth and threw my hands up. “I’m going for a swim.”

Not bothering to allow him a chance to reply, I got up, walked into the room, grabbed my bag, and went into the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind me. I turned on the faucet to drown out any crying that I may have done.

My emotions were all over the place, and I hated this shit. It was supposed to be no feelings and just sex, but mine were definitely hurt, and I know I hurt his. Why can’t he just admit that? The same reason you won’t admit how you feel. Feeelllinnngggss, so deep in your feelings.

After I got myself together, I put on the royal blue two-piece, put on my swim cap, and left the bathroom. I was glad that there was a patio door in the room, so I wouldn’t have to walk past Roman to go to the pool.

Instead of sticking my foot in to test the water, I just dived right in. I swam to the bottom of the deep end and did a few laps back and forth before coming up and taking a forty-five-second break before repeating the same thing until I was too tired to lift my arms or legs.
