He Woke Me Up

Sound asleep when his screaming wakes me up. “Why would you do this? No decency to tell me!” Waking up I hear his words but still don’t know what they mean “Your best friend? “Oh don’t be so jealous!” he throws my words back at me. Hearing him, I understand. Did he open my email? Did he go through my phone? He stops his ranting, He looks sad and lost. His shoulders drop and he breathes deep. Sitting on the edge of our bed he looks me in the eyes. Gently he puts his hands to either side of my head. In a whisper he tells me “I could kill you, you know?” Softly he touches his nose to mine. He tilts his head until his lips brush mine. “I want you out of my house for two o’clock.” He gets up and walks out the door, dropping my phone as he goes.
