3: The dream

Jessica shook her head in the bathtub, as she knew that Dylan usually made love to her in the bathroom whenever they bathed together as a couple, and now he was avoiding her.

 

She resumed bathing in the white bathtub with her sponge, soap, and water. And after she was through with her bath, she rinsed her body and finally walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom to dress up.

 

Dylan had already worn his white night robe and sat on the bed to sleep, feeling tipsy from the alcoholic drink that he had drunk at Rosie's house.

 

He saw Jessica step out of the bathroom, and he immediately stared away from her and to the wall as he laid on the bed to sleep.

 

Dylan turned his back on Jessica and faced the wall. She frowned at her husband's behavior and knew that he was truly avoiding her.

 

Jessica walked up to their wardrobe to take out a nightgown she would wear there. She tried so hard not to cry because she didn't want to divorce Dylan.

 

She knew that he had been behaving strangely lately before he was absent from home for two days in a row, and she wondered in her mind, "Who's the new woman in his life now?.'

 

Jessica stood searching for a single nightgown that she would wear for hours. Even though she has touched the white nightgown she wants to wear, she should take it out of the wardrobe and put it on.

 

She stood beside the wardrobe and got lost in her thoughts as hot tears freely streamed down her eyes.

 

Jessica finally snapped out of her trance and took out the white nightgown that she had been holding since she selected it, which she wore as she stared back at her sleeping husband on the bed.

 

Her gaze returned to the divorce papers on the headboard, and she shook her head in sorrow before finally walking up to the bed to join her husband in his sleep.

 

Dylan was already fast asleep on the bed, but as Jessica climbed on the bed, he felt her heavy weight press on the bed, and his eyes subtly pushed open a little as he stared at the pretty yellow woman's face that was on the bed with him.

 

Seeing that the pretty yellow woman was his wife, he was about to divorce, and she's sobbing too. Dylan sat up on the bed and sleepily asked, "What's wrong, babe?"

 

Jessica snuffles and wants to reply to her husband, but Dylan sleepily lays back on the bed again and falls asleep. The alcohol hadn't cleared of him yet, and he was already tired and exhausted, as he had spent half of the time since 5 p.m. when he had closed from his office work with Rosie in her room, and he needed to rest.

 

Dylan turned his back on Jessica again, adjusted his pillow properly underneath his head, and rested his head on it.

 

He resumes sleeping, and Jessica blinks her teardrops away as she sits on the bed, looking at her sleeping husband for a moment.

 

Not wanting to accept the fact that they were going to divorce the following day, Jessica thought to be the good wife that she was, so she wrapped her left arm around Dylan's waist and moved closely to him on the bed, as he had his back on her. 

 

She cuddled up beside him closely, inhaling his manly scent as she hugged him to find warmth from him.

 

She rested her head on Dylan's left arm to caress his face and jawline, but Dylan inhaled Jessica's sweet blossom scent, and his eyes subtly pushed open as he sprang up from the bed, even in his drunken state, and pushed Jessica's arm off from hugging him on the bed.

 

Dylan looked at Jessica angrily and asked her, "What's wrong with you, Jessica? Why don't you want me to go to sleep tonight?

 

Dylan was seated on the bed with Jessica, seeing that she didn't wear any bra underneath her big breasts, and her white nightgown was almost transparent, revealing her big boobs to his view.

 

Dylan stared away, and Jessica replied, "I want you, Dylan."

 

"But I don't want you anymore, Jessica. I want a divorce, and you should sign the divorce paper tomorrow and leave! As I'm not joking about it," Dylan abruptly removed his pillow from the bed, stepping down drunkenly in his black slippers to exit their bedroom. He snatched the pillow from Jessica's hands as she attempted to prevent him from leaving by holding onto it.

 

Dylan immediately walked out of the room, leaving Jessica all alone in their master bedroom, and she cried out, "No, sweetheart! Wait! Where are you going too??."

 

Jessica hurriedly stepped down from the bed and chased after Dylan as he exited their upstairs sitting room and went downstairs to the guestroom to sleep.

 

"Dylan! Open this door!!" Jessica stood in front of the guest-room door and banged on it heavily for Dylan to unlock the door from within, as he had locked the door from inside.

 

Dylan ignored Jessica's response and went to sleep in the guestroom, since Jessica wanted to seduce him in their bedroom.

 

"Dylan! Please open this door now! I'm your wife." Jessica cried out as she stood in front of the guestroom door, banging heavily on it.

 

She stared at the corridor clock time in passage and saw it was already after 12 a.m. at midnight. 

 

Jessica shook her head and finally went back upstairs to their master bedroom to sleep alone, as she didn't want to wake their kids up from sleep. The master bedroom is the biggest room in the mansion, and she walked towards the king-sized bed that was covered in a white bed spread and climbed on it slowly to sleep.

 

She laid on the bed and tried to sleep. 

 

It was Wednesday night. Jessica knew that her kids would be going to school the following Thursday morning as they attended a day-to-day school, and she knew that she had to sleep on time so she could be able to wake up very early the following morning and prepare her two kids for school.

 

But sleep was very far from her eyes as she kept crying on the bed and thinking about the new woman that had come into her husband's life and now wanted to destroy her marriage by breaking her previous happy home too.

 

Jessica continued to think about how she would lose weight to impress Dylan and be the slim woman that he wanted again.

 

She knew that she had tried losing weight before, but it wasn't easy for her because she loved eating a lot of food and sleeping, and she was always at home instead of going out to work.

 

Jessica had spoken to her best friend, Esther Friday about her plans to lose more weight. Esther had advised her that the best way to lose weight was to hit the gym.

 

Yet she has been exercising daily, but losing weight hasn't been easy for her.

 

Jessica snuffled on the bed again and fell asleep. In her dream, she saw a beautiful yellow short woman walking into her home with a large black traveling box of clothes in her hand. However, this short woman was not the same as Jessica in the dream, as she was taller. The short woman looked at Jessica irritably and told her to serve her meals.

 

Jessica saw herself serving this beautiful slim woman in her dream as the woman sent her away from her husband's home, and she tried to plead with the woman: "Please, you cannot send me away from my husband's house." "Leave Dylan alone so that he can look at me; that's his wife."

 

But the short woman replied, "No. "I have known Dylan for a long time before you do, and your time here is up in his life, so go away."

 

Jessica witnessed Dylan toss her box of clothes outside their marital home, and he showed no concern for their children's presence. He told her, "Leave my house, Jessica; this marriage is over between us." "Go away and get out of my life!"

 

"No Dylan! Please... Don't send me away. I love you. Please Dylan.."

 

Jessica continued struggling on the bed and in her sleep as she was still laying on the luxurious white bed in the master bedroom and dreaming.

 

She continued pleading with Dylan in her dream: "Please, Dylan, don't send me away, please."

 

Jessica watched as Dylan rushed to her in her dream and dragged her away, using her left wrist to throw her outside of their mansion. She cried out to him again: "Please, Dylan! You cannot send me away, Dylan! Dylan! Dylan please!."

 

"I'm here, Jessica! Wake up!" Dylan shook Jessica vigorously on the bed to wake her up. He sat down on the bed beside her, and he shook her again and again to wake her up from her nightmare.

 

Initially, Dylan awoke from slumber in the guestroom he had occupied the night before. He was suffering from a headache and recalled that he had returned home the previous night, carrying the divorce papers Rosie Andrew had given him for Jessica to sign at home.
