All Chapters of Our Marriage, Divorce and Love: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"I understand, Tameka, and you don't have to give me an answer yet. The evening has just begun, and I still have time to convince you of my sincerity. But, everyone, including Lizzy, is under the wrong misconception, that's all." "Is it possible you are under the wrong misconception, Copeland?" "I don't think so. I know my reasons for staying by Lizzy's side. But I have a feeling; she thinks I have stronger feelings for her than I do." He said, holding his head down. "You gave her reason to think that way.""But I stayed married to you for three years, never once asking you for a divorce." "What were you hoping staying married to me would do for Lizzy?" "I was hoping she would eventually see that I didn't want to end our marriage and had chosen to make my marriage work.""Humph, if you wanted her to know that you wanted this marriage, Copeland, you would have asked me to come to be with you. Not give you a divorce. I don't understand your logic at all." "I was waiting for you

The sun had risen the next day when I opened my eyes. All my thoughts went to my wife, who was only sleeping a few away. It was the start of a beautiful weekend. I couldn't believe me, and Tameka was on talking terms. And if I didn't want it to end, I don't. I need to free myself up for the rest of this weekend. But, mmm, last night, she was so temptingly beautiful. I knew I had to buy time. I smiled. My heart felt light as I tugged up my underwear. I paced back and forth, wondering what type of excuse I could give to Lizzy as to why I couldn't be around. "Oh, my new appointment as the CEO is perfect! I'll call and let Lizzy know I will be working on moving into my new position and office." "Hey, baby, are you coming over for breakfast? I can't wait to hear about the party.""Good morning Lizzy. How are you feeling?" "I feel like I usually do. Are you coming over for breakfast this morning? I miss you." "No, I can't. I won't be able to come to your house. Since the party, I've be

Lizzy quickly began to undo her hair, combing it and making sure she looked perfect for Copeland's arrival.Lizzy paced back and forth in her bedroom as she tucked her hair behind her ear. At the same time, she waited for Copeland to come over. 'I have to be direct tonight and tell him how I feel waiting for him to get a divorce. I can't just keep sitting and waiting on him.' Lizzy pondered her words, thinking carefully about what she would say to her love. It was killing her to know Tameka was still in town. She didn't appear to be the same girl she knew from their past. Lizzy also became fearful that Copeland might have a change of heart about Tameka positively. She wondered how solid his feelings were for her. She had so many questions and concerns about this one man. Lizzy began to feel desperate about losing her chances of becoming Mrs. Morton. Lizzy knows he hasn't been at the office working, so he's spending time with Tameka.She couldn't just sit back and let whatever was happ

Copeland left feeling sad as Lizzy's words rang in his head. 'Maybe I should go back and check on her.' Copeland didn't think it would be this difficult to say goodbye. He had allowed his heart to be wrapped around Lizzy for so long. Not out of love but out of indebtedness. Now what he's experiencing with Tameka feels different from what he had with Lizzy. It felt good and right. Copeland wanted to have his heart interwoven and intertwined with his wife's. He looked one last time at Lizzy's apartment building stating in an undertone. "I will be here for you if you need me." Copeland had finally cleared up his relationship with Lizzy, and he drove away. Copeland recalled Tameka's request, so he stopped and got some ice cream. After that, there was no more miss understanding of his relationship with Lizzy. She was a lovely girl and sweet, but that was all the feeling he had for her, and tonight he was sure about it. When Copeland returned to the wedding house, feeling so good and pl

Copeland gives her a look that speaks volumes. His answer to that question was intertwined in his raw, smoking hot, sexy gaze. Tameka felt his blaze of desire through his eyes. The flames were scorching, making her fearful, yet she kept asking herself. 'Am I ready to go out on a limb with my emotions?'She playfully says to cool the sudden and unfamiliar flames scorching her heart and riling up her desires. "A scoop of ice cream coming right up," Tameka says playfully, scooping him up a big spoonful, and just when it gets to his lips and he opens his mouth, she takes and eats it. She laughs at how his sexy gaze disappeared, calming her fearful heart. But Copeland gave her a concentrated stare of disbelief! "Ah, don't look so disappointed. You look like a wounded puppy." Tameka tells him as he pouts. But Copeland was inwardly thrilled that his wife was sexily teasing him this way. "Okay, this time, I'm going to give you a taste of my ice cream for real." "Your ice cream? Don't teas
