Blue and Black

She crumpled the sixth piece of paper.

Why was it so hard to tell him that yes, it is over between them?

The ink, she thought, yes the ink, why is it blue? I always write with black. Where is it?
A fresh piece of paper, and black ink, she began to think how to start.

Dear X,

There are so many things that I wish we would have discussed face to face, but your busy schedule….
He is home on time, always.

Well, if you think I am just another maid in your house to take care of your house,….
Was he dusting the house yesterday?

I hate to be cooking for you all the time, when all you do…..
Wasn’t the chicken she had last Monday cooked by him?

I am sick of you watching TV all the time, especially the action packed movies….
No, can’t be, she just watched Dragon Island day before yesterday.

I am not a laundry guy, why can’t you do your own…..
Seems like he ironed the clothes for her a few days ago.

How long have I been telling you to get me those diamond studs, but….
He promised, they would be hers next month.

Crumpled again.

Leave it, she thought, seems like there’s still something between us.
She washed the veggies, and started to think what should she cook for him for dinner……
