I was clearing my desk for the day when Jessica's message came in

..... 'Don't forget our appointment with the therapist by 4pm... Kisses dear wife'

We had  switched from our marriage counselor Rev Clark to some specialist in Washington...
Imagine having to travel down to Washington just to see a marriage specialist twice every month

That didn't last more than a month because the specialist was a young lady and my wife thinks she was always staring at me in a seductive manner and ignoring her in the sessions so she picked up a fight with her and we had to stop seeing the specialist

So two weeks ago when she told me she had found a new therapist in town... Whom we should be seeing, there was no point throwing tantrums because as usual she would always have her way

This was our thrid session and I was really not looking forward to it
We've been going in out of different relationship workshop and nothing seems to be working

To avoid another day of endless arguments.. I decided to show up early, I got there fifteen minutes earlier and my wife showed up forty five minutes later flaunting her nail polish obviously she was coming from a spa and she was the one reminding me not to forget our appointment

Dr Jane was an older woman in her mid forties and also married, so am sure Jessica won't be accusing her of batting her eye in my direction

"Its really nice to have you both here.. Mr and Mrs Harper"
She ushered us to the usual couch in the middle of her office

"Thanks doctor Jane.. Am really sorry for keeping you waiting.. My apologies "

"Its fine... Shall we proceed"

"Yes doc "
Jessica answered chirply

The doctor glared at me for confirmation and I nodded

"So how has this week Been for both of you "

"Great..... "

"Fine "

"Good.... Did you get each other presents like we suggested last week "

"That' was quite inventory.... So I got my husband the newest model of Rolex wristwatch and he... He got me a mouth wash"

Okayy.. Truth I forgot we were suppose to exchange gifts so when she gave Me the wristwatch... Instead of saying I forgot and dragging another issue.. I just gave her the mouth wash I got from the mall earlier on

"And You don't like the mouth wash "

"Of course I don't like the mouth wash.. Do you know what means, that I have mouth odor... Can you imagine "

"I didn't... See it that way"
I replied quickly in my defense 

"Oh yeah... Maybe a cheap lingerie or some flowers for the kitchen would have done the trick if you were so low on cash"

"Doctor Jane said think out of the box and that's exactly what I did "

"Are You kidding me right now... So of all the things you could have gotten. You choose to gimme a mouth wash... Unbelievable "

"Mrs Harper.. Pls relax, ..... Why did you buy her something of a lesser value "

"I.... I.. I"
I was caught in a tight corner and I didn't know what to do
I got the mouth wash for myself and I know if I told her I forgot to buy her a present that could have led to another pointless argument
