Love on Aisle Five - Chapter 20 by Sam
When I woke up I was cuddled up to Todd. He was already awake.
"How is my beautiful wife this morning?"
"Wonderful. How is my handsome husband?"
"Ok. How are you feeling about me calling you my wife?"
"You've called me that ever since our wedding. Except for last night when you wanted to call me your husband for some reason. Why wouldn't I like it?"
"Just checking."
Todd started kissing me all over then went down and rimmed me. Once he was done he lubed up and got on top of me. He looked into my eyes as he entered me. He started thrusting as he made love to me. It was wonderful and I started to moan. After 10 minutes he talked to me.
"Sam?"
"Oh... Yeah?"
"I want you... UH... to call yourself my husband."
"But... OH... I'm your wife."
"No babe... UH.... you are my husband."
"Yes Todd."
"Good... UH... Don't forget it."
"OH... Yes Todd"
"Also... UH... You don't have to change your name.. UH... unless you want to."
"But I already told you... OH... I was going to when we got married."
"No... UH... It is your choice to do it or not... UH... You don't have to."
"But... OH... I already told you I want to... OH... When we got married."
"Fuck! I can't fix this one."
"What?"
"It's nothing... UH... just thinking out loud."
I went over the edge and came on us as Todd continued thrusting. I was looking in Todd's eyes when I saw a tear.
"Todd are you ok?"
"I'm fine babe." He started crying.
"Todd, stop. You are not ok. Are you hurt?"
Todd stopped thrusting. "I'm not hurt babe, but I hurt you."
"No you didn't. I'm used to your size now so there is no pain anymore."
"No babe." Todd pulled out of me and sat next to me. "I took something from you and can't fix it." He was really crying now.
"I don't understand. What did you take? We're married now so what is mine is yours so whatever it was you could have it. What was it?"
"A choice. A choice of whether to take my name."
"I made that choice long ago, remember? I just haven't gotten to the lawyer yet."
"I'm so sorry babe. I didn't know. I was just having fun. I swear I didn't know."
"You are confusing me. Are you sure you are alright?"
"I'm alright. It is you who isn't. And I can't fix it."
"I'm fine Todd. Maybe you should see a doctor." Todd had tears streaming down his face.
Todd just sat and cried. I tried to comfort him but nothing I did seemed to work. I wanted to stay with him and comfort him, after all that is what husbands do, but I had to go to work. I really couldn't take any more time off. I had a wedding I was trying to pay off still. So I went to take a shower. When I got out, Todd helped me with my head bandages but was still really crying a lot. I was sad I had to leave him, but I had no choice. I talked to Laura to tell her what was going on and she went to check on him. When she came back out I told her I was sorry but had to go. She said she understood and to go, she would take care of Todd. I left and went to work.
At lunch I called a lawyer and got an appointment for Saturday morning to get my name change and me and Todd's wills. When I got home Laura was there. She said Todd hasn't come out of the room all day. I went in to talk to him.
"Todd?"
"Yeah babe?" He was lying on the bed with his face in a pillow.
"Are you ok?"
Todd turned and looked at me. "I don't want you to take my name."
"What? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, I did, and I don't know how to fix it. But I can't let you take my name."
"I don't understand. I've been planning to take your name ever since you agreed to marry me. I have the lawyer's appointment set up for Saturday. Why can't I take it?"
"I did something horrible babe. I didn't know it would happen, but it did and it is my fault. I can't fix it because I don't know what choice you would have made. I took it from you and can't give it back. I can't even tell you what it was because you won't believe me. But I can never forget what I did. And I would be reminded of it every time someone called you Sam Anderson."
"What did you do?"
"I can't explain it to you because of what I did. If you knew what I did to you, you would hate me for the rest of your life. I wish I could fix it. All I want is to go back in time and not do it in the first place. But I can't. I shouldn't call myself your husband, not with what I did. You should just leave me and throw me out right now."
"Todd, you are really upsetting me. I don't know what is going on in your head, but you will listen to me. I do not hate you, nor would I ever. And you are my husband, whether you like it or not. And I am taking your name and that is final. Whatever you did to me, or think you did to me, I don't care. I love you and whatever it was, I forgive you. Now come on, dinner is almost ready."
I dragged Todd out to eat dinner. He didn't eat much and then we turned in. Todd got on top of me and I felt him enter me. It was only a few minutes before he started talking to me.
"Sam?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"I love you too Todd."
I heard a sniffle and saw Todd was crying again.
"Stop, Todd."
"You want to leave me."
"No."
"You don't love me and want to leave me and kick me out."
"No."
"Yes, leave me and kick me out!"
"No!"
"You hate me and want me gone."
"NO!"
"Kick me out, I'm scum!"
"NO!"
I pushed Todd off of me and pulled off of him. I ran to the bathroom and locked the door. I then curled up onto the floor and cried. I didn't know why Todd was saying these things, but I didn't like it.
