This morning, I woke up, again, expecting to be in someone’s arms, when I knew better. I was all alone. After my disastrous date with Bobby last night, and then coming home to an angry King who drew me a bath and then made love to me, my head was pounding and my heart hurt.

I can’t rationalize that a man I grew up with, that I have known almost my entire life, would speak to me so callously. I had thought that he could be the one. Not necessarily the love of my life, but the one who could give me a good, honest life.

And the man who I can’t seem to stay away from, the one who makes my body sing late at night in a way no one ever has, the one who takes care of me and protects me, is the one who will also never love me.

It’s quite a dilemma.

But maybe the solution is simpler than I thought. Maybe the lesson is that, in the end, I’ll have no one. Maybe there is no one who could love me. It feels selfish to have everything in the world that I could possibly want and be desperate for love, for passion, for companionship. I crave the one thing I don’t have—a partner.

So I got up and brushed my hair and teeth. I washed my face. I pulled on soft cotton panties, the kind no woman wants a man to see, and a matching bra. Maybe the ugly utilitarian underwear will keep me from getting naked for King. But there’s also a voice in the back of my head shouting Maury says that’s a lie! I slid buttery soft leggings up my legs and layered baby blue and lavender ribbed tank tops. I slid my feet into a pair of worn Chucks and pulled my long hair up into a ponytail on top of my head.

I walked down the stairs, unsure of what I was going to find. If the status quo held, King would be rude and surly by the time I found him, and that made me feel irrevocably sad. He was nowhere to be found, and it made me hope that maybe I could get out the door before he found me. I needed out. I needed away from him, away from Bobby, the track. I needed to be in my car on the road with the wind in my hair and the sun on my face.

I feel at peace when I’m behind the wheel. Before the death threats, I would often go for a drive when I felt the pressure weighing down my shoulders. Now, I can’t even remember the last time I was able to drive myself.

I walked through the first floor, and he was nowhere around. Could he have left me? Usually Manny or Eric were nearby when King needed to be away from me. The thought of him finding me so unbearable that he had to physically leave my presence burned. It hurt.
