Deep, down he's
a good daddy, loves
his kids and shares
a special bond with them.
But when it comes to
monogamy, he's a crazy
man, always has been,
always will be.
So, when he left her
for his mistress, she
wasn't surprised. How
surprised can you really
be when a crazy man
naturally loses his head
completely? He was
crazy off the bat, so
no surprises there.
He called her to plead
he needed a place to crash,
and only for this one night.
Tomorrow, he'd have keys to
his new place, and a place
to crash when his girl-at-
the-moment picked a fight.
She sighed as she said,
"Your home's always here.
I'll be sure to leave the
door unlocked. That way you
don't have to worry about
waking the kids by an out
of the ordinary knock."
She hung up, took a shower,
performed her motherly duty
of bedtime hour before she
rang him back on the phone.
As expected, he didn't answer,
but she knew it wouldn't be
long 'til he wandered momentarily
back into her home.
She thought of all the wrong
he put her through, and could
taste a hint of revenge so sweet.
So when he eventually walks in,
she says, "Our son was waiting up,
but finally fell fast asleep."
She could see the twinge of regret
form on his face, because he don't
like to let his kids down.
She never even told them Daddy
was coming, instead opted to put
them to bed. Then she masterfully
manipulated the whole situation, and
played his emotions like a violin's
thread...

Well written!
Sometimes selflessness isn't rewarding enough,
so a little manipulation never hurt anyone (too much.)
I feel this is deserving of some tin. Thanks for sharing
