Silence stretched as the whole room stared at him.“What’s so funny, you fat old pudge?” Vivian shot at Peter who had just been caught red handed laughing at the situation.Peter straightened his posture and cleared his throat before putting the towel on full display.“Pardon me ma’m. Here are some hot towels” he said and entered the study to give it to her, Vivian snatched the white materials out of his hands.She started to pat her hair dry as Peter moved to the side and Alphonse turned to the women.“Ladies, I believe we should all settle down and talk this out. This is all a misunderstanding that can be rearranged" Alphonse said."it can be, they're both not supposed to be here. The maid and that bitch" Vivian said, still drying her hair and talking absentmindedly and in a small voice but the whole room heard her.Alphonse groaned as she finished talking, Vivian was always up for a fight and was always rude in every situation until she had someone shut her up and he was about to d
Alphonse sat going through his phone, it was finally Wednesday and the day of his first public interview. The door to his dressing room opened and he was expecting Peter but the last person he expected entered the room and his eyes widened a bit before they frowned in confusion. “You came,” she said. Alphonse dropped his phone on the counter and angled his body to where she stood. “Hello Carla. It’s my interview, I have to be here. Question is, why are you here?” He asked her, his hand on his chin. Carla shrugged and came closer to him. “To support you” she simply said as she reached him. Alphonse could not believe it and only wondered as his hand still ran across the stubble on his chin. “Or sabotage” he said. Carla tutted a bit before smiling, her eyes on his, never leaving it for a bit even as she talked. “Oh, honey. I would never do that to you.” She paused and played with her eyes “Maybe” she said with a chuckle as she joked. Alphonse laughed with her and folded his h
Alphonse was enjoying his breakfast and morning coffee some few days after the interview incident when trouble as usual came knocking on his doorstep. This time not in the form of his ex wife Vivian, who the last time chose to stay drenched in the rain waiting for him, fought with the two other women in his life and stayed the night only to wake up in the middle of the night and ask to sleep in his bed. Peter not only stopped her after he Alphonse refused to grant her such a wish, the old man finally broke character with her and threatened to throw her out in the middle of the night if she did not stop misbehaving and went back to her room. She woke up the next morning, insisted on Charlotte serving her breakfast in bed so she could insult the innocent girl further and then forced Alphonse to drive her to work so she could arrive at work in the boss's car and flaunt it in front of everybody before walking to her office. Everyone already knew how skilled she was in jumping from one
"You smoke?" Alphonse said from the shadows of the hanging flowers and bushes where he sat waiting for Carla to come home. He had not waited long and found his way to her balcony to wait for her, it was late and getting dark and he had told her house butler not to inform her he was coming since she was already expecting him which was a total lie. Truly Carla had come home Unsuspecting of the stranger sitting in her home, she promptly took off her shoes and her jacket, her trousers followed so she was only in her underwear and her camisole which also served as a singlet. She rummaged through her drawer and got out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, getting herself a bottle of water and a blanket, also before turning off the lights in her balcony and dragging a chair with her to sit down there and smoke. She had just lit up the nicotine packed stick and took two or more puffs while Alphonse watched her, waiting for when to reveal himself since turning off the lights also aided in c
“Hello Harris, you look splendid today” Alphonse came out of an office to match the fast paced walking steps of Carla as she hurried with a pile of files to her office. She looked really busy and occupied today and as soon as Alphonse talked she opened the folder and started going through the papers. “What do you want Mr. Fischer and what are you doing here?” Carla asked without sparing him as much as a glance. Alphonse shrugged, carefree and giddy with news to spill today. He had spent his night with Denver digging for information on every aspect of her life and today he was here with very interesting information that she might be interested in. “Nothing much, came here to say hi. Check up on my old friend and my opponent in the election” Alphonse said as they hurried down the hallway filled with the busy people planning her campaign moves. Carla huffed in annoyance, she still had not forgotten the stunt he pulled the other day in her house. “You should not be here” Carla said,
"Hi" Charlotte greeted the sleepy-headed Alphonse who stretched and squinted his eyes from the morning sun. "Hey" he greeted her and sat up straighter in bed, a big smile breaking on his face as he came face to face with her. "How did you sleep?" She asked and sat down on the bed, still in his shirt from last night. She had gotten up earlier to prepare him breakfast and after she came back up to meet him rising from bed. "Very well, I kept waking up at night to make sure you haven't become a Cinderella" Alphonse said and Charlotte laughed. "I saw no reason to leave," she said and bit her lip seductively. "Oh no. Don't do that" Alphonse groaned as the action sent hot blood straight to his groin. For the past few days they had been spending more and more time with each other and more nights with each other. Alphonse stretched one of his arms towards where she sat, wrapped his hand around her small delicate waist and pulled her closer to him on the bed, her giggles filling the air
Alphonse woke up in alarm, as he took in the room and realized that this was not his bedroom.The sheets were different and the bed was smaller than his and worse more he did not wake up to the warmth that he had grown accustomed to over the week.The events of yesterday came rushing into his head, the alcohol, election plans with Carla, him ignoring Charlotte's calls.Carla, Charlotte!"Charlotte, oh my God!" He exclaimed to himself and looked around the room for his phone, Carla was also nowhere to be found.As if on cue the door opened and Carla walked in, looking ready like she had already showered and had breakfast."The government is becoming weak and crazy, why did I wake up to the president giving a pardon to some criminals. They deserve to be in jail locked up, if I were him that is what I would do. I need to go check out the orphanage today make sure everything is going normal over there" she said, not paying attention to a sleepy looking Alphonse."Well good morning to you
"Everest Clinton that's her baby daddy" Alphonse said to Peter that afternoon that was almost becoming evening."Well, well, well. That's some big shocker, the son of the president? She is a go-getter, has great eyes for big things" Peter said with a big hearty laugh."He has no idea" Alphonse said and Peter stopped laughing "How come?" He asked Alphonse."Apparently she never told him," Alphonse said with a shrug, before he dropped his phone on the table and picked up his bottle of wine.He had been trying to reach Charlotte all day after he came back to meet only Peter at home but her number has not been reachable."Something about a family feud and them ruining some teenage love" he informed Peter. "Where did Everest Clinton go to school again?" He asked Peter."Uh, it's difficult to pick a place because the president kept changing his schools even during and after high school. But he went to some college in London, took a course in politics in Dubai with a private teacher I heard,
