After being given the Bentley, Gavin drove to a spot near the plaza he had planned to take Meghan to. He called her on his phone to come meet him. She told him she was coming, but with the same level of skeptism that she had always had concerning the things he said. Even if she did not outrightly say it to him that, it was quite clear that she was struggling to believe him. So when she came to the location and spotted her husband in front of a blue looking expensive car, she could do nothing but frown and wonder what sort of antics he was up to this time around.Gavin was waiting, his back resting on the Bentley. He had a gentle smile calmly sitting on his face. He was waiting for her, but did not know she had spotted him from a reasonable distance away from him. He looked particularly annoying to her, because he still wore his dirty worn out uniform that seemed as though it had been scratched and torn by a thousand rats fighting for food. It was a distasteful thing to see on him,
In Gavin's head, he had prepared well to make the trip a memorable one for he and his wife, who still frowned profoundly beside him, not exchanging a word with him at all. In Meghan's head Gavin looked nothing different from a fool. He could cover it up by renting an expensive car, but not having the sense to at least change his clothes into something better showed how lacking he was in his fashion sensibilities. And she could not say anything other than to be ashamed of him.He was going to embarrass her, wherever they were going, she predicted and was sure of her predictions."This the place," he said confidently, stopping the car and coming down from it, while she hesitated, even almost pinching herself to convince herself that what she was seeing was just a dream and it was nothing she should take seriously."What are you doing?" He asked her, noticing that she was taking time to come down from the car. "I know what I am doing," she said. "You do not have to rush me. I am not a k
It got to a point that Meghan had to seize Gavin by the hand and drag him outside. Her eyes were almost on the verge of tears as she did. Her eyes carried a weight that she wanted to dispel at that moment, at that time."What's going on?" Gavin demanded for an answer, still oblivious of the women's taunts causing a distress on his wife. "Come on, they are just laughing. Why should that bother us?" He was so used to being laughed at and scorned, that the women laughing at him took nothing away from his pride. And that itself was enough reason for his wife to be angry. He did not care for fashion. He could wear anything at any time, and he would not be bothered by the perception people would have of him. This was not a thing to be proud of to her. It was a ridiculous social trait that would only have her embarrassed time and time again, just because she was legally married to him.They were now outside the place. "Why did you take me outside here?" Gavin asked, his voice aloud."Don't
They both got into the car once more. Meghan had stopped crying at the time, and was begining to think more clearly than she was able to, while crying. "Where are we going to?" She asked him, her voice still cracky and choky as she had just stopped crying. Her eyes were pink in color. She rested her head on the soft leather of the car's chair. "Which mall would you want us to go to?" He asked her, a smile on his face."I don't know. You should pick one. Anyone you pick I'll follow you to." From her voice he could tell that she was tired and just needed rest to set things straight with herself. After all, he was also tired of arguing everytime they met. The last few days of both their lives had been filled with nothing but disagreements, quarrels, and arguments. He did not want things like that to define their relationship anymore.He decided to pick the the most expensive clothing store he could find. There was one he particularly liked for its name."Babe, you would not mind me ta
"That there, is my wife, you fucking dogs," Gavin said, preparing to transfer all the anger that he had amassed in himself, to the security men whom he had grown to dislike so passionately within moments of meeting them."Will you shut up?" One of the security men clapped back at him. "I think we might have mistaken you. You are not an errand boy, but must be one of these mad stalkers who hide behind beautiful women.""How can a woman as beautiful as that be married to a street urchin like you?" Another one asked. "We will not let you in if you don't give us good answers to our questions."What th—" Gavin paused in the middle of swearing, to look up at the sky, as though he was trying to peek for God up there, and ask Him to grant him patience in order to deal with the security men without resorting to violence and treacherous words."Look," he continued, "I am telling you that I am her husband.""Well then, I am the president, and my partner over here came from the future where he g
Meghan's hands were now littered with a few bags of clothes. She was done shopping and and was supposed to be moving to the counter to go pay for the things she had picked. She could not go because she had no money. She was filled with dread of what was going to happen since she knew exactly what was in his account, and was merely shopping out of faith, that perhaps a miracle might have happened, to have given her husband money to pay for everything.She took a peek at the entrance and saw him, Gavin, still arguing with the security guards sprawled at the door, who had decided that it would be their job to cause more trouble for Gavin that evening.She did not want to interfere, as she believed it would just cause more mockery to herself and an unnecessary attention from everybody else around her. "Dear lord, have mercy," Meghan whispered a prayer, even though she was not in particular, a very religious type. She wished she was with a rosary that she could hold and count with her han
"It does not change anything," one of the security guards said. "We are still not going to let him in.""Look at him," another one said. "It is already obvious that he does not deserve such a woman in his life. I could even see it in her eyes when she got in, that she is tired of him." Gavin was surprised, shocked, and angry at the same time. "Look at me," he said to the men. "Do you people know even the tiniest bit about me? Why this much disgrace from mere security guards like you?" "You are the disgrace here, Mr. Who ever the fuck you are," one of the security guards clapped back at him. "How and why are you tying down a woman as that when you know you are not capable enough to take care of her? Are you not supposed to be ashamed of yourself? If you don't, then you need us to shame you for you. Bastard."Sophie laughed, cackling in awfully mocking manner that sent chills down Gavin's spine. "Look at you," she said to him. "This is where you belong. The security guards are smarter
"Hello James, are you nearby by any chance?" Harry asked sharply into the phone. "I am at Drew's Wears with Sophie, and we were wondering if you could show up. If you can, by the way.""Yeah," James answered, a little bit flustered. "I see... this is luck. I am really just close by. Not so far from there. What is going on? Is there a problem?""Not a problem perse, but Meghan needs your help." James was surprised, but still thought that this was a good opportunity to clear his conscience since he was unable to help Megan on her first request of him, and had been lying to himself, her, and her family ever since. He was sick of it himself, but would not dare spill the truth to anyone."Okay, man. I'll be coming there immediately," he said eagerly.Meghan heard the conversation and melted in her heart. Things were truly about to go south, she thought.Meanwhile Gavin was still outside with the security guards. His face had grown redder than they had been before. His jaws were tired and
