The Husband Loves Her More, And I Do Too

"Jeez! Are you blind now? The one in black shirt is only 7, that in blue is the 9! Com'on!" she hissed. Whilst I wanted to argue, I felt it's best to just stop or it will go on and on and who knows who would win. I was in the car and noticed two guys not so far away and me thinks the guy in black is so good looking. She on the other hand, thought otherwise. Yes, we still do that rating like we used to in our youth.

She can be really annoying at times, but very lovable. At least the husband's actions say so. She has her own charm and wickedness that even I couldn't deny. She's daring, loud, free spirited, spontaneous, adventurous, frank, wacky, unpredictably witty. Oh she has just enough confidence and I'm quite jealous to be honest. Wouldn't be surprised when men will pick her when we are pitted against each other, lol! _{Only if I let her.}

Me? Mostly her opposite - diffident, introverted soul. I've been called sheepish, timid, demure, very shy etcetera. Boring? Yes, admittedly. But I can be fun and silly too. Oops, now that just made me think if it's really me or her! Perhaps, we're both? I'd like to think so.

I often suppress her because she can be provocative and playful but there are times when she gets loose and comes out in the open. And it seems the husband senses her presence and he'd be asking, "what have you eaten today that I didn't know of?" He gets surprised by the radical change in my behavior but loves it anyway. "Would you carry me please?" Oh the tease! When those times happen, he'd take advantage of it and we usually end up having so much fun - laughing, hugging, mostly being wild and silly.

But come to think about it, she had been with me all along. For if not, I wouldn't have survived in the field where I had been thrown into during my working years especially abroad. Traveling, saying "Hello" and laughing with strangers, trying out new and exotic dishes. Presenting and negotiating with people, debating with some in Marco Polo then making them sign the deal in the end. Singing in a KTV bar and what have you. There was no way I could have done those things if she wasn't there. I think it's because of her that my former boss still loves me until today.

Did I mention she's strong-willed too? Thanks to that, I've been freed from the prison I unknowingly created on my own. She's so good at scolding me and often says "to hell with it!" then just go do things her way. Little to no inhibitions. No "what ifs." There's no doubt, most of her is writing this so don't be surprised if you noticed something different.

This is my participation to the 5th topic of this weekend's writing prompt by Galen. Check it out and send in yours too!
