... Antwone really wanted. The camping trip, watching him in the garage, the way he looks at me. Put it all together and it is pretty clear what he is going to ask for. How do I tell Jim that Antwone want his wife. But that is crazy, Antwone would never ask Jim for his wife. Plus, I really don't see Antwone graduation from high school with a 4.0 gpa. High school seemed to go by so fast. Antwone kept getting more and more A's, it became pretty clear that he was going to do it. He was going to get straight A's. However, he was involved in so much his senior year, he hardly had time to himself. I was really hoping he would slip up just once and get a B. He still came by often and spent time with Jim. Several times he asked about the "deal" and Jim reassured him that it was still on. Antwone even double checked that he could ask for anything Jim had and Jim would give it to him. "Promise," he would then ask. Jim would smile and reassure him that he would hold true to his word. Once, after Antwone had gotten the promise from Jim, he then looked at me and asked if I was onboard with this promise. It was just so obvious that I couldn't believe Jim didn't see where this was going. Maybe I was trying to teach my husband a lesson about being more careful what he promised. So I assured Antwone I was OK with "The Deal." I remember telling Antwone, "Yes, I am a part of this deal." At that point I was sure what he wanted.

I had a prime rib in the oven so I invited him for dinner. It was about eight o'clock. Jim was working late so I wanted to have dinner ready for him. Serval things kept running through my mind. Was Antwone really going to ask Jim for me? What did he have in mind? I wanted to ask Antwone what he was going to ask for, but I just couldn't get myself to talk about it. Guess I was afraid of the answer. Plus I wanted to act surprised, like I had no idea when he did ask. These were the thoughts going through my head when Jim got home from work. Right in the middle of dinner, Jim acknowledges that Antwone had graduated with a 4.0 gpa. Then asks him if he remembers "the Deal." Antwone answers, "Of course, I have been thinking about it ever since you made me that promise. It motivated me to push myself, alway finishing my homework, always studying for exams, always asking the teachers for extra work so I could get A's." Then he paused, looked at both of us and asked, "Now you are not going to 'renege' on our deal. You both promised and your word is your bond. Right?" Jim smiled and reassured him that he could have "anything." My husband is so naive, could he not see where this was going. Funny thing was, I let it happen. What was going to be Jim's reaction when Antwone asked to have his ...
