“What were you thinking?." He shouted. I shifted in my place and I removed my eyes from his and I placed them somewhere else. I didn't want him to see that I was sacred so I decided to go and take a seat in one of the couches." Now I'm the one that's the bad guy?. “ I said adjusting myself so I would feel more comfortable “Everything that happens you shift it and make me be the bad guy and you've been doing this for years and I just had it figured out, I'm not the one that's meant to be apologizing, you are, you're angry at me for catching you having sex with another woman and you expect me to remain calm?."“Are you crazy?." He asked me.“What do you mean by that? Are you still trying so hard to make me seem bad for catching you cheating on me, you should be begging me." " Leave my house. “" I can't leave, I'm your wife. “ He started to laugh. He laughed harder than I've ever seen him laugh my entire life.“What did you just say, you say you're my wife?."“Yes." I said stiff
I was waking up, I could smell something sweet in the air. I opened my eyes to see Kai dropping some plates on the dinning. As if smelling me he looked up from the table and his eyes met mine.“You're awake, good, I was about to wake you up, breakfast is ready."“ Their mother walked out of one of the doors and she stood there, resting her body against the frame. She didn't look a day over thirty, she looked like she was their sister and not their mother. She still had the darkness of her hair, she still had a nice figure. She turned to me and then she smiled." Good morning. “ I told her." Hope you slept well. “ " Yes, I did. “I told her, she smiled some more and then she turned to Noa that was walking into the house." Hey baby, how are you?. “ She asked him." I'm fine. “ He said, he turned to me and tuned to Kai. I watched him take a seat at the table. " Come on, the food is getting cold." Kai told me. Nobody spoke till we had finished eating." Your food tastes great. “ I
“No."“What do you mean by no?."“We're not calling the nanny back you're going to take care of Kai, you're quitting your job."“Solo, look at me, I like this job, we actually need it, one gig is not enough to keep the family going, imagine I'm earning and then saving the money and you're providing more, we will be able to put Kai in one of the best schools, we'll get a better car, a nicer house, it's like a win win..."“The both of us know that ever since you started working in that company you've been different."“Different, in what way?."“All round."“I don't believe you, you're just trying to make me feel bad and guilty Solo but it's not going to work, I've been the same, I feel the same only that I feel happiness and joy and peace... aren't you glad I'm looking better?."“You no longer pay attention to me." He said.“What do you mean, it's not true, that's not true, I give you attention." “When was the last time we had sex? ."“Christ, solo, you can't be serious."“I'm serious.
Solo's car was in the compound, he was in. I climbed the stairs and I stood in front of the door. I wondered what would happen if I confronted him, what would be the outcome... I turned open the door and I walked in. He was in the sitting room looking at some blue prints. Immediately the door opened, he looked up at me and smiled. I didn't smile back. “Hey honey, how was your day?." He asked me shifting the papers aside." It was good, at least. “" You don't sound so good, any news?. ““I almost broke my leg."“What happened." “It's not important though, I was walking and I wasn't watching where I was going and I just tripped but someone caught me, if not I would have a limp. How was your day?."“It was really, really good."“You met Mr Kurtis huh?." I said dropping my purse on the couch. “Yes, I did."“What did you both talk about?."“The construction."“And?."“Nothing else just the construction, he handed me this blueprints to preview." He was flatly lying to me, that'
I opened my eyes and saw that morning had come. I looked at Solo, he was still sleeping, he looked peaceful now, like a child. He was laying naked under the cover, so was I. I shifted in my position before I finally decide to lay flat on my back. I looked at Solo again, he had stirred and touched the bed till he found me and he drew me closer to him, I thought that he would wake up, but now he was going back to sleep. He felt warm, his grip on my body was strong but bearable. I closed my eyes and I tried to envision my life from here. What would the future hold, would I ever get a job, ever again?. I had quit my job just to settle the fight that I and Solo had. I had to give up. He felt threatened, he felt his family could fall apart and when a man like Solo sees a threat he won't stop till he eliminates the attacker, even worse when they threaten his family. I didn't remember when I had opened my eyes, they were now open and I had been staring at the thin air bu
“Sweetheart, I'm leaving." He said.“I love you. See you in the evening."“See you too, I love you." He told me and I heard the door open and shut. After about an hour, I went to my bedroom in search for my phone book. I remembered that I had the contacts of some of the people in our company, I also had Mr Kurtis's office telephone number. I opened the top drawer and I saw my phone book, it was laying there in the top drawer. I open the phone book and I skimmed through it and I found Mr Kurtis's number. I went to the sitting room, took the phone and I dialled Mr Kurtis's office. It rang once, twice and then I heard the ding from the other end.“Hello, Mr Kurtis O'Malley's office, how can I help you?." I could almost recognize the voice, it sounded familiar but it couldn't click for a reason....“Good morning, this is Gael Garcia speaking, can I speak to Mr Kurtis?."" He's not in. “ She said like a bot." Who's speaking?." I asked. “This is Molly Pierce, his
I heard a knock on the door, It shook me from my seat. Had Kurtis left and realized that I wasn't in the same class as him and he wanted to tell me that he didn't know what he was doing when he asked me out. The knock came again. I went to the door and turned the locks, I opened it. It wasn't Kurtis, it was Solo.I smiled, relief washed over me.“Hey baby. “ He told me." Come on in, how was work?. “" Work was fine. It's going super great, things are turning out as planned, you know how stress free it is when things turn out as planned. “" I'm happy for you. “" You're glowing, what's happening?. “" I don't know, I'm out of the sun, I'm not longer walking in the sun or guiding people, maybe that's the reason why. “" Honey, of course I understand but you're glowing, your eyes are twinkling. “" Do you mean literally?. “ I asked touching my face." No, I mean in a beautiful kind of way, and your voice... What happened in here, why are you looking psyched, where's Kai?. “"
I thought about what he said. “Just once?." I asked him.“Just once," He said smiling. " Thank you. I promise call you tomorrow. Will you be free tomorrow?. “" Yes, I'll be free tomorrow. “" Thank you for the opportunity. “ He said Smiling." Jeez, you don't have to thank me. “ I told him." I want to. “" I'll give you a call and I'll tell you the location, I can send a car to pick you up tomorrow. “" You don't have to. I'm trying to keep this as discreet as possible. “" I understand. “ " See you tomorrow. “ He told me." See you tomorrow. Take care of yourself.“I heard the knock on the door. I looked at the time, it was evening. I opened the door, solo was standing there Smiling.“Good evening." I told him.“Guess what?."“What?."“I said Guess."“I can't gues, you have to tell me."“Okay, I got something for you."“What?."“Do you remember the time we went to Miss Liz's store and you wanted a dress."“Solo, why are you bringing it up now?."“Because I couldn't get
