"I thought you've sleep." Iyi said as he changed to his pyjamas.

"Actually I was waiting for you ."

"For what?" Precious was amazed at the tone of word her husband used.

   "Iyiola you've been avoiding me, you don't joke,you don't play,you don't talk to me, what's going on?" Iyiola turned and look at her,he knows she called out his full name whenever she's pissed .

  "Excuse me,I don't understand you?"

"You don't understand the fact you do come late from your workplace nowadays,you come late to bed and leave early." She stopped to catch her breath. "Why this sudden change?"

"What sudden change? " Iyiola said disgustingly. "If you don't know what to say just keep quiet,am not in for talk talk tonight."

   "Iyiola, you've not touch me for a week."

  "The one I have been touching what's the gain,you better don't push words out of my mouth tonight." He hissed and climb on the bed and sleep backing Precious.

"Iyiola there are other ways to punish me over my wrong deed than this,no matter what have done I don't think I deserve all this ."

    Iyiola shouted at her

" Could your stop nagging and complaining? Someone here needs to be in the hospital by 6 tomorrow and I need to sleep." Precious opening her mouth to talk but nothing came out she was so surprised her husband could talk to her like that.

"But Iyi, no matter....."
