City Boy Caught Cheating!
City Boy and Darling...happier times
I'm overwhelmed...stunned...shocked right down to my very core. Blinded by tears, frustrated and confused. I'm not sure what went wrong, when it went wrong or even where...
It's something I've been sensing, but couldn't quite put my finger on it. He's seemed...distracted, I suppose. And closed; not willing to share like he used to. And the shower...the shower...
He wasn't home, so I began cleaning. I know, so totally not me. And yet, it seemed like the thing to be doing. An uneasy feeling had been haunting me and I just needed to burn it off, I guess. I washed the sheets. Picked up the dirty socks. Began to clean the counter in the our bathroom.
And that's when it hit me. I could actually smell her in there! His clothes from yesterday were tossed off to the side, ready to be brought into the laundry room. I picked them up, a bit hesitantly. I slowly raised them to my face, afraid to take a closer whiff...but I did, and I could smell her. Just the faintest, lightest trace of an unfamiliar fragrance...yet familiar enough for me to know instantly that City Boy had been with someone else.
I threw the clothes into the laundry and stormed back to the bathroom in tears. The scent was still there, and I knew exactly where to find her. Can you believe he thought he could hide her right under my nose??? Fighting back the tears, I swung the shower door open, my eyes falling upon that little hussy sitting flauntingly in soap dish. Irish @$%$# Spring!!! The man had the audacity to buy a freaking bar of Irish Hussy Spring soap! And me, a soap maker!
This was always our song...I wonder if he even remembers the lyrics any more...
Soap....soap will keep us together
Think of it, Babe, whenever,
Some sweet talking bar comes along, singing her song
Don't mess around you got to be strong
Just stop, cause I really love you
Stop, I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let soap keep us together....forever...
Sigh....so embarrassing for a soap maker...
