HE WAS NOT THE PICK OF THE LITTER....A SMALL LOVE STORY

It was at my older sister's engagement party
That I met him.
He was a complete jerk 
He found me sitting in the garden
Half lit with too much wine. 
And moping with self pity. 

There I was 
no further along in a relationship 
Than when I left school ten years ago. 
No one even in sight.
But he saw my vunerabilty and hit on me. 
I told him he had a bad reputation
That it was said he would fuck a snake
If it wore a skirt. 

But he hung in
 after four more wines
I went to his room 
and I slept with him. 

 weeks later I found out I was pregnant. 
It was his, I had not been with anyone else
I called my sister  and told her of my condition 
She demanded to know who the father was
I was so ashamed I could not mouth his name. 
But she guessed it
Oh my God Susie. Alex!! 
He's a moron 
I nodded in agreement. 

When I told him three months later. 
He just smiled and softly said
never mind honey
Let's get married. 
I  said are you crazy. 
He said yes I am crazy about you. 

I was 8 months pregnant when we got married. 
We had an outside reception by the river. 
Opposite the castle. 

He married me and then
The he sang a love song to me in spanish
He learned fucking spanish 
His voice was horrible 
But I swear I think it was then most beautiful
 thing I have ever heard. 

When our little girl was born a few later
He became the best father on the planet. 
And he treated us both like gold. 

Six years later
We have four kids now
And our house is a disaster 
But I have think that he is the 
second happiest person in the world. 
That is after me of course.
