weird feeling come over her as she got the plates out. Something was definitely wrong and she wondered what it was.
    ***
    “Do you want to take a bath with me and get dirty?”
    Meeka smiled, but Rick was not in an amused mood. Meeka’s smile faltered, not sure why he was so upset. He was mad about something.
    “What’s wrong, Rick?”
    “Nothing. How was your day? Busy?”
    The words were spit out and sounded sarcastic. Her thoughts went to Johnny for a second, but she pushed that out of her mind.
    “It kind of was. Had to get stuff done. Cleaned, cooked, ran errands, took Carter to the park, had lunch and that was about it. How was your day?”
    “I worked, like I was supposed to.”
    “What does that mean? Am I not doing something you think I'm supposed to be doing?”
    Meeka was catching his anger like it was contagious. She did not like where it was going and she started to feel like it was because she wasn’t working.
    “You were the one that told me not to work.”
    “I don’t want you working.”
    “So what is all this about then?”
    Meeka motioned in front of her with her arms. He was standing over her and his eyes blazed. She could see the vein in his neck throbbing and his temple jumped like he was gritting his teeth. Meeka had never seen him mad like that at her and he started to make her nervous.
    “Did you see anybody today? Any old friends?”
    The last word was spit out and his eyes nearly glowed with emotion. Her mind revisited her first thought about Johnny and had the sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. It would have been better if she had mentioned it or just turned around and walked away when she had seen him at the park. The accusation in his eyes reminded her that she had done nothing wrong and did not deserve that look on his face.
    “I ran into Johnny yesterday and then we had lunch today. I guess that is what you are all steaming about I take it?”
    “How can you be so nonchalant about it?”
    “What, that I had lunch with someone I used to work with? It was in public and all very innocent, Rick.”
    “You did more than work with him, Meeka and you know it. How about I have lunch with Marla?”
    “Go ahead and see what happens. Marla tried to split us up. There is a big difference there. Johnny and me were together when we split up.”
    “Johnny huh?”
    Meeka sighed and rolled onto her back, staring up at the ceiling fan. She noticed it needed to be cleaned, while Rick circled around her like prey.
    “So you're done talking about this?”
    “No, Rick, but what do you want me to say?”
    “Say something for Christ’s sake. You can’t just be seen with one of your ex-boyfriends and think that nothing needs to be said.”
    “I would hardly call him an ex-boyfriend, Rick, we went out one time. He was a friend for a lot longer than that. I miss my old friends. I don’t know anyone here.”
    Rick sighed and sat down next to her. Meeka sat up and looked at him. He was not so mad as before, but he was sad.
    “Out of all the people, did it have to be him?”
    “I saw him at the park. It was not like I searched him out.”
    “No, but you knew it would hurt me, didn’t you?”
    “No, I thought you wouldn’t know and didn’t see a point in telling you for you to get all mad like this.”
    “So you just kept it from me?”
    “To save your feelings.”
    Meeka wished she could have sucked the words back up. It was not the right thing to say and Rick’s eyes darkened further.
    “I can’t believe you, Meeka. You can be so damn cold sometimes.”
    “Why should it be such a big deal? You're supposed to trust me and not freak out. I knew you were going to freak out and there is no reason to. If you saw us, you should have just come over, instead of this.”
    “If I would have seen you, Johnny would be at my E.R. I got the news from one of the nurses from work. Do you know how embarrassing that was?”
    “Oh so it is an image thing? And when did you turn into
