"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,
"Please make sure you vote for me. For a better tomorrow for the state of Oklahoma" Alphonse said, almost ending his speech. "Vote democracy and vote freedom. For a better life and bright future for your kids and unborn children choose freedom. I am by the name Alphonse Jacob Fischer and I am the representative of the Democratic Party. In a few weeks you will all be gathered to make the biggest decision that determines your tomorrow, make the right decision" he said and dropped the mic, the crowd started cheering him on and some security personnel started to assist him down the stairs. It had been like this for the past two months, Alphonse going out to campaign, and giving out freebies to the people for the election. He repaired a lot of infrastructures and re-arranged some things that had been neglected by the present mayor. As of the moment he was gaining favor in the sight of the people. His relationship with Charlotte had been blossoming and they have been happier than ever, s
Alphonse stopped abruptly in his steps as he closed the door to his study. He stopped almost scared to see her there and surprised but more so he was shocked and worried. She was here in his house where Charlotte was and he quickly saw his relationship hanging on a really thin thread. "Carla?" He called her name to be sure he was not seeing things, it's been months and a week after she sent Carina to deliver those pictures to him. He quickly remembered that he had not gone through those pictures since he hid them and lied to Charlotte. "Hello Mr. Fischer, you have been away for too long. Did you miss me?" She said, her crossed legs swinging as her shiny red heels gleamed against the bright light. "Uh, hi. What are you doing here? I have not heard from you in a while" he said and closed the door to the study. "Did you get my message?" She asked and her legs stopped moving, Carla looked extra beautiful today. She had a new haircut and her skin shone extra bright today, if his h
“You kissed her, there's no way you can say you love me and go ahead and kiss another woman" Charlotte said, the different ways Alphonse held her, treated her and made her feel special for a while ran through her mind. It broke her heart even further when she imagined that he gave Carla the same treatment while she stayed at home awaiting him like he had wanted the first time. "Charlotte hold on, you're jumping into conclusions, that's not what happened" he tried to explain but Charlotte only chuckled bitterly. "Did you both kiss or not?" She asked before she quickly raised an index finger to shut him up from answering her first question. "Did you both kiss while we were involved?" She rephrased her question and Alphonse knew there was no way he could reply that question without hurting her further. Silence stretched for a tad minute before he nodded "Yes, but baby it's not..." Charlotte did not let him finish before she scoffed bitterly and bit her lip in pain to hold in her tea
