SWEET DREAMS--My Best Friend 5---In search of......

Now I had two young children and an abusive husband that I despised.I learned that Daddy was renting the downstairs apartment out to a thirty one year old single guy.He was very tall and not too bad to look at.I was starting to notice other guys quite a bit around this time.He was about 6'2 and had a golden brown complexion.He was the brother of one of Daddy's other tenants.Daddy owned five houses himself,including my childhood home of which he and Momma still resided in.I would see this new downstairs tenant occasionally passing through my parents yard to get to his apartment.We would lock eyes briefly and I could feel his attraction to me.I always took pride in my appearance back then even though I was in this controlling and abusive marriage in name only.I would not allow him to take that from me.I just couldn't go out anywhere,but I did try going places a few times when he would come home and pass out.Somehow he would always wake up and sense that I was gone and come looking for me and he would beat me when he found me.So I quit trying to go out anywhere,it was wasn't worth it and it was far too embarrassing.So sometimes when I would hear the new tenant leave his apartment,I would go out onto our porch and pretend to be busy dusting the rugs or sweeping off the porch just to get a glimpse of him.He could always feel my presence.He would always turn around and catch me looking at him and our eyes would lock briefly.I suppose this went on for a couple of months and Daddy told me that the new tenant had been inquiring about me.His sister told Daddy that her brother was asking about me.So Daddy was aware that his new tenant was peeping out his abused married daughter.
This became like a game for the new tenant and me,whenever one of us would hear the other close the door or come out of our apartment we would race to catch a glimpse of one another.And then one night when I was laying in bed drifting off to sleep,I had a premonition of the two of us kissing in his front doorway.I yelled out "ooooooo nooooo"!!! My abusive husband heard me from the next room and asked me "What's the matter with you?" and I immediately said "nothing."I've always since childhood had these unexplainable dreams and such that would have meanings and sometimes would come true as shown to me.I've never to this day understood them.But I knew something was going to happen with this guy but I just didn't know when or how. It was to happen sooner than I thought too because my abusive husband left home one night and didn't come back at all.While being relieved that he didn't return I knew something had happened,something was very wrong.He had lost that job with the Glass Company because one day he had pulled a no call,no show and when he went in the next day his boss told him to go back home and take all the time he needs to get better.Apparently he had told his boss that he was sick.Anyway around 9:00 that morning Daddy knocked our door and told me that my abusive husband had been arrested for burglarizing a nearby local tavern.The police had searched for him overnight and found him hiding in a manhole.He told me it was on the local radio news.I turned the radio on and listened to the next local broadcast and sure enough it was true.I was in shock and could not believe that my abusive husband had did something so stupid,but little did I know he would BLAME me even for this.I needed to see my best friend Bernice.I had to talk to her about everything that was going on in my life.My prayers had been answered maybe I was about to be rescued from my abusive marriage........
