29It had been many years since Michael Bower Had dared to enter His old house. He couldn't believe how Much it had changed.
tony and Angela Obviously looked after The garden.
But as much as he loved Angela
, He knew it would have been Tony's handiwork ,
more precisely ."green thumb" As Angela never had one ,
Or had THAT Changed Too?
. To Michael, it was "obvious, "
Tony , tended his "Garden", With the Love he Gave his "Children"
. As he approached the front door, It opened of its own accord.
A pair of the most , chocolatey Brown eyes, And long black eyelashes Attached to the Cutest little face Appeared on the other side,
Her voice sounded, Very lyrical And her Appearance Neat and tidy
. She had long Black hair And a smile to outshine The stars.
"Yes sir, may I help you,?"
"My Mummy and Daddy, Are just coming, if you're Here to see them".
AT that moment, Michael couldn't Even Remember his name
he was floored and transfixed, all at the same time.
The little girl was Beautiful
and he could see Sam in her Countenance.
"obviously,her little girl"
he thought
.
"sweetheart, who is it"?
And there she was, The woman who Stirred his Heart like No Other could
,As she appeared in front Of him He Eyed her with A lust he thought Long gone.
With two steps toward Michael, Angela froze, Transfixed to the floor. She warily surveyed her Surroundings, Knowing he was present Unable to breathe Let alone say a word.
All he could say was "Hi"
Angela was feeling the same. "Hello Michael".
The little girl in front of them Begging to be heard, Cried out "Hi daddy"
With that, Tony came Bounding down the stairs Curious, who or what Could be holding up Life in his "Happy Home".
"Daddy, there's a man at the door talking to mummy, Who is he? Do You Know"?
As Tony stood in front Of his little girl, He saw a sight that made Him both angry And insecure,
For there was the man Who broke his wife's heart, Who left her to raise, Her little boy alone.
He'd remarried, Without a second thought For the wonderful Family he'd abandoned.
Well Tony had seen to it That Angela and Jonathon Felt loved again!
When Tony came face to face With Michael. His first reaction Was to slam the door, But when he had done so, Realised that would Only cause dissension In the family.
For her part, Angela loved to see The jealousy ,Michael Could inspire, .
Although she would Never act on it At that point in time, She had never felt More Loved.
When Tony reopened The front door, He did so with An abject apology, "Sorry, Michael the wind Blew the door shut". Tony said, Nonchalantly.
"What brings you here, After all these Years"?
"That's okay, Tony, That's some frosty weather we have out there".
Micheal said, sarcastically.
"Good to see you Too"!.
Tony gave him an insincere smile,
then said,
"You still haven't answered my question".
"Oh really?, What question was that"?
When Tony noticed Michael, staring at Angela,
He tried to keep his anger in check.
"I asked you , what you're doing here, Michael"?
"But if you insist on playing games,
whilst staring at MY Wife,
this visit will be very short lived".
Sensing Tony was feeling very tense,
around him,
did wonders for his confidence.
For no matter how hard he tried
or how many times, he told himself not too,
he still felt a strong connection,
and admiration for Angela.
And he now realised, maybe for the first time,
in a long time,
how much he loved her, and wanted her back in his life.
When Michael had gained his composure, he stated.
"When I came here today, I realised it might be abit awkward,
but I want you both to know, I'm not here to cause trouble,
of course I can't wait to see Jonathon, and his fiancée,
Rita, is it?, but I also have some news of my own,
and I needed to break it to both You and Jonathon in person".
When Angela heard the trepidation in his voice,
all she could say was,
"What do you mean, Break it to us?
it can't be good, if you have to do it in person!"
Feeling the odd one out, in his own house,
Tony stated, "Angela don't fall for any of his sob stories,
You and I both know, he's probably playing
on your sympathy, Boo hoo Michael Bower,
has some problem,!, don't fall for it sweetheart,
when you married him he, caused you nothing but misery,
and now he has the audacity to come knocking,
at our door, looking for a shoulder? GO find it on your wife, why don't you'?
By this time ,Michael was getting very tired
of this Brooklyn born, Italian,
Who in his eyes, had Stolen his wife.
He looked at Angela and simply said,
"Angela, could I have a word with you outside please"?
Not knowing what to do or say,
And feeling caught between , a rock and a hard place
she decided to let her head take control
and told Tony, she'd only be a minute.
Not wanting to upset Angela,
Tony decided to let them have their talk,
He knew this was going to be a long day,
and she'd get her way, she always did when it came down to it
Because one thing was for certain,
SHE could control him like a puppet ,
on a string,
And after all, he thought to himself,
Michael Bower, can have as many words with my wife, as he likes,
Because at the end of the day, that's what she is,
MY WIFE!.
