RE: STACH Short Story Contest #16: 199 words, 10SBD prize pool!

"The last day of the month" Femi thinks to himself. Pay day. He picks up his pay check smiles down at it and as the thought of his pay day tradition floods his mind. He grabs his coat slings it over his shoulder and waltz out of his work place, he hums a feel good tune, as he walks to where his car is parked.
As he drives out, wondering what this night of adventure has cooked up for him, as he steers his car to his favourite club house.‎
His pent up joy crashes almost immediately, "darn it! How could I have forgotten" as he stares at the wedding band on his finger wrapping the steering.
He makes a sharp U-turn heading home to his one month old wife, he couldn't help but realise how he could no longer live free, no more allowance to do or spend as he pleases, stay out late with the boys clubbing, all the pleasures of a bachelor.
But then I, Femi, would rather stay home and spend time with the one i love... I guess if you're going to be stuck be stuck with the right person.‎
