THUG (part 4-B)

A big fight with Angela

THUG   (part 4-B)

 

Something about women bothered Tom.  He just simply

did not understand Angela.  She drove him mercilessly.

She picked at him.  He could not make the simplest mistake

without some type of reprimand.

 

Talking to Billy about Angela`s attitude, Billy just shrugged

and said , "women"  I can`t figure them out.

 

The stress of being overworked and trying to please Angela

was becoming too much for Tom, he was approaching the

breaking point.

 

Angela pulled up in the drive with a load of groceries from

town.   Tom hurried to the pickup intent on helping her.

 

Angela slammed the door, said "what do you want "  and

stomped in to the house.

 

Later that afternoon Tom went to Angela`s room intent on

either finding out what was wrong with her or making up .

 

 

Angela had just come out of the shower, drying her hair

and wearing a light robe when she answered the door.

To Tom she was the vision of perfection.  He stood open

mouthed and was even more astounded when Angela

put both arms around his neck and pulled him toward her.

 

As Tom straightened up and stepped back Angela let her

robe slip to the floor.

Without a moments hesitation he retrieved the robe and

placed it around her shoulders.

Turning his back Tom walked out of her life.   He gathered

his things, put them in a bag that he could sling around his

neck, left a note for Ben and trudged out to the highway.

 

As soon as Tom walked out of her room, Angela threw

herself on her bed and sobbed until she thought she would die.   She wanted him, she knew that no man on earth was

as good as Tom and he was the only man she could ever love.

 

Within a few moments of standing on the highway,  Tom

was picked up by a man traveling to Butte, Montana.

Tom said that was fine with him.

He was let out as the motorist stopped for gasoline in

downtown Butte.

 

This was the big city to Tom, he had never seen anything

like this-------------------Continued (see Ch. 5)

What? Why would Tom leave her like that? Did he think she was a hussy? I thought he thought she was beautiful...I am confused. I guess I will just have to read more and perhaps the answers will come.

Gone to read more....
