This is a story of a wife who couldn't say no and the conversation that followed.
*
I was on a conference call around 10:30 AM and you called my cell phone and I didn't answer. You left a message for me and then you called me on my work phone. When I didn't answer my work phone you kept calling me on my cell phone until I answered. I put my work phone on hold and picked up my cell phone after about 5 minutes of calls from you. When I answered I asked (below is our conversation)
Jake
β Babe, I'm on a conference call, what's up?
Ally
β I need to talk to you about something!!
Jake
β Can it wait? I'm on a call. Is everything ok?
Ally
β UMM, I'm fine, but something happened and we need to talk.
Jake
β Can I call you back in 30 minutes?
Ally
β NO β THIS CAN'T WAIT! Your work can wait, THIS CAN NOT! Call me back from your cell phone in your car β so we can talk β¦
Jake
β OK β I'll call you in five minutes. Should I come home?
Ally
β not yet, just call me and hurry up!
About 3 minutes later I'm in my car and I call you from my cell phone. You answer and say:
Ally
: HELLO?
Ally
β OK BABE β what's up?
Ally
β SO β something happened today and we need to discuss it!
Jake
β OK β talk!
Ally
β Don't get mad and just let me talk ok? Something happened today and I don't know what to say.
Jake
β what, tell me, I've got to get back into the office pretty quickly.
Ally
β OK - I just put Tasha down and got into the shower. I was washing my hair when the door bell rang. I got out of the shower and threw back on my pink grey and white night gown and semi dried my hair. I came out of our bed room and check on Tasha in the swing (she was fine) and grabbed Doggy and walked to the door. It was Ty (from Joseph Builders) coming by to give me a new card to let us know that he took another job working for our home warranty company that covers JB and needed to stop by check on the new attic entry in our room for a final completion write up before he flies up to the head quarters in New Jersey for the next 6 months. So β I let him in and put Doggy in his crate and moved him to the Garage. After I came back in the house Ty was carrying a ladder into the house to check on the attic hole. He came in an asked if he could go on back to our closet. Sure, let me pick up some clothes real quick and then you can come back. I went into the bath room to toss underwear in the hamper when Ty peeked back and asked "ready β I have to get moving?" Yeah, sure come on back. I hid my underwear in the bathroom and asked him to come back. When he was climbing the ladder, I was about to go into the room and quickly put on some underwear and a bra when I heard the ladder fall over. Ty yelled and asked me to hold the ladder up so he could get in the attic. When I walked back the ladder was over on the ironing board so I stood the ladder up and stood there until he got in the attic. I was going to walk away and get my bra and underwear on when he said, ok, everything looks good up here. Can you hold the ladder while I climb down?
Jake
β Um, OK?!?! So no one is hurt or died or anything?!?!?
Ally
β No! But don't interrupt me babe. OK?!
Jake
β go ahead, sorry. What's up?
Ally
β This is where I don't know what to say. It was cold holding the ladder since the attic hole was open and I could tell my nipples were showing. Ty looked down to step on the ladder and looked at my chest for a second until he saw me notice. He looked away and acted like he was writing something in his journal. "It's really cold up here" he said, "Did it get cold down there?" I said yeah a bit why? "No reason" he said, smiling.
Jake
β yeah, that's weird, but what do you need me to do? That's no reason to get pissed really.
Ally
β That's not really what I needed to tell you.
Jake
β OK then what?
Ally
β well babeβ¦ he climbed down and asked me to sign the form and he could get going. So I did, but when he did, he kind of grabbed my hand when he handed me the form.
Jake
β WHAT?
Ally
β I know it was a bit weird but I thought nothing about it.
Jake
β So β do you want me to come over there and ask him what's going on?
Ally
β No, he's gone and probably not coming back any time soon.
Jake
β why β what do you mean?
Ally
β So this is what I needed to talk to you about.
Jake
