TITLE: LUCY'S HUSBAND.

I watched my husband make a little run for the ball, his eyes tingling with childish excitement. Our dog bibi barked and nibbled lightly on the ball, he was playing "fetch" with our dog. His stomach has grown bigger, shaking lightly when he made any light movement. He looked tired most of these days, this making him look older. She didn't like the particular scent he had now, musky. She never noticed it, maybe it got worst everyday with him staying in that little cottage he built for himself, the smell of the cigarettes hung to his beards, seeping into every clothing he owned and even on the curtains. He irritates her, she spitted angrily, she thought about when she started hating her husband, or is "hate" too strong a word to use? Or was her pregnancy hormones setting in ? These days he loves reminiscing about the past, this makes him sound old, and the mere thought of that, sickens her to her stomach pit. The way he occupies space without any remorse or when he laughs with flashy spinach leaves stuck stubbornly in-between his teeth with his stank breathe. He's only 40 for God sake and he's already planning for his retirement. How he's gonna move to the remote part of the town and farm and buy a small "live in bus" that he can drive around, or the bus having a toilet so comfortable that he can basically sleep in. She married an engineer not a farmer or a man that drives his toilet around. Last thanksgiving the way he chucked down the turkey meat, eating like a starving pig. She's pregnant but she can't even eat like that. He has become a glutton, she realized that too late, she had found his huge appetite quite attractive and lovely but now it remain a little, she would drive a kitchen knife down his stomach and bring out the food and show it to him. "Lucy everything's okay?" Her husband shirl voice called out to her, interrupting her from her wild thoughts. That voice, it annoys the shit outta her, she sighed and closed her eyes as if to lock him out of her life. Maybe the pregnancy is really affecting her or him.
