Diana’s pov.
#the next day.
~Morning.

I gently removed John’s hand that was wrapped around me away and laid it on the bed, while being as careful.
I slipped my legs into a pair of flip flop and chuckled.
It’s an oversize.
But it looks pretty good on my legs though.
I glanced back at him and got lost in his sleeping face.
How can he look so cute even when asleep?
I quickly looked away when I felt my cheeks were burning up.
I shook my head vigorously as I sauntered towards the door.
Six months, yeah, six months.
We are getting divorced after six months..
I shook my head vigorously as my hair bounces forth and back.
I grabbed the knob of the door and twisted it and it creaks opened.
I stepped out stealthily and closes the door surreptitiously also.
I can’t afford to let it make a noise, else he will wake up, and he seems to be enjoying his sleep and I don’t want to disrupt that.
Argggg… Diana, you’ve got to be kidding me.
Why do you sound like you care so much about him, huh?
“Of course, I don’t.”I reassured my inner self while heading towards the kitchen.
*You don’t?. Then, why are you heading towards the kitchen?*
“To make food for him of course.”I descended the staircase.
*Tsk.. t-tah.*my inner mind mocked.
I stopped when I was just about to take down the last step.
I said I do not care about him, so why prepare food for him?
“No, no. He is sick, so I have to cook for him.”
My inner mind snickers.
*How sure are you that he won’t yell at you when he wakes up?. What if he just mistook you for his former girlfriend last night?*
I grinded my teeth in anger.
“I would be very angry if that’s the case.”i balled my fist.
*You don’t even know how to cook.*she taunted.
“Ah, I guess you don’t know much about me. Although it’s been long since I last cook, but he would manage it however it comes out. Amor fati!”I jumped over the step and snapped my fingers as i slides giddily to the kitchen.

Writer’s Pov.
The sun light seeps through the broken window and darts forth his beams on the faces of the three young man.
They were tied to a huge pole which was in the center of the room and they were still unconscious.
Outside the room, two hefty men stood in front of the room, standing watch over them.
Their eyes were puffy as it was very obvious they barely got a wink of sleep the other night.
One of them lighted a cigar and struck it inside his mouth and releases wisps of the smoke in the air after removing the cigarette from his mouth.
He suddenly huffs and tossed the cigar away.
“Not helping.”he gruffed, impatiently.
“How long do we have to wait for these fvckers to wake up?.”
The other just sighed without uttering a word.
His face looks calm, but dangerous.
The other guy snapped his fingers in his face.
“Hello?”
“We wait for boss, not them.”he replied without blinking an eye.
The other guy smirks and took his eyes away from him.
Back inside the room, Ralph squinted his face repeatedly while trying to get over the sun’s blinding light.
His throat felt dry and he feels extremely thirsty.
When his eyes finally settled, he looks around the room.
Everywhere was dusty and he could barely breathe.
He coughs and threw back his head but it hits against a metallic surface.
His eyes twitched a little, out of surprise.
He glanced back and saw that his back was resting against a huge pole.
He looks down and saw that his hands were tied, same with the others.
And the reason he couldn’t breathe properly was because their mouths were gagged with a hard tape.
His eyes widened in horror.
Oh, no.
He analysed the situation they were in and his eyes grew wide the more.
The strange man…
Were they kidnapped?
Sh! t.
He kicked the others on their legs and they both snapped their eyes opened.
“What the?, you?, why I’m i seeing you early in the morning?”Snow frowns.
His eyes were half – closed.
“Sheesh..”Ralph kicked him again and his eyes went fully opened.
Duvall suddenly chuckles.
“Hm, this must be a dream. Let me go back to sleeping.”he tried to shut his eyes but Ralph landed a blow with his leg on his head.
“Fvck! Jesus!”Duvall exclaimed while holding on to his head.

Diana’s pov.
“How come you’re around this much today?”I questioned my inner self.
She didn’t reply.
I stopped stirring the soup with the wooden spoon and frown.
“I asked you a question.”
“I am more around because you seem to want me the most today.”she replies.
Hmph!
I rolled my eyes with a giggle.
“I thought you left.”a voice sounded behind me.
It’s john.
*See?, I told you!*my inner mind uttered, sarcastically.
A silent scoff escape from my lips and I turned my head back at him swiftly.
My nose got filled with a strong but unique and alluring scent and I paused and sniffed it in.
He stinks of too much cologne!
“Did you use perfume early in the morning when you haven’t taken a bath?”I asked out of curiosity.
“Why?, you wanna bath me?”he smiles mischievously. He was resting against the door.
“Pervert.”I muttered under my breath.
“I just woke up tho, so, I am yet to take a bath, except, of course, if you bath me in your dream.”he sent a dirty wink to me.
“It’s a good thing you’re still here. My heart almost jumped out at the mere thought of you having left.”
I quickly pressed my lips together and kept a frown on my face in order to conceal my blushing face.
“I’m leaving once I’m done preparing your breakfast. And, oh, I’m sure Mrs Robinson wouldn’t be very delighted to know that you didn’t ate the food she sent last night.”
“Why Mrs Robinson?, I thought that’s suppose to be ‘mother in – law or mother.”he stated.
I narrowed my gaze at him and blow out some air.
This man is doing a perfect job in getting my insides excited!
“Why don’t you move in with me?”He said abruptly.
What?
Move in with him?
*What?*my inner mind snickers.
*You’re going to accept that?*
“I’ll think about it.”
*Cheap!*my inner mind chimes.
“Nothing to think about. We are married so shouldn’t we be living together?”
I tilted my head to the side.
“Married?”I repeated.
His eyes bore deeply into mine.
Those eyes seems dissuasive.
“Didn’t you said you like my cologne?. I was going to get you one but.. I don’t think I might be able to do that again since you don’t wanna stay here with me.”
I stifled a laugh.
“Are you trying to bribe me over with a cologne?”
“You could say that.”he grins.
“And, I don’t even remember telling you I like it!”
“Your facial said it all.”he circled his face with his left hand in demonstration.
“I’ll go get my things later then.”the words rolled out of my mouth.
*Cheap! Miss.*
*Divorce after six months! Are you forgetting that?!*
“No need for that. You can always order for new ones.”
Huh?
He nodded.
“Oh, look, the food is burning.”he pointed to the pot and my eyes widened as I stared back.
Oh, no.
I can’t believe I forgot totally about this.
I didn’t even notice the smoke that has filled the room.
I quickly turned off the cooker and carried the pot down from it with my bare hands.
“Ouch! It hurts.”I pouted, while shaking my hands in the air.
John laughed and I glared back at him.
“I wasn’t laughing.”he said.
I seethed in anger.
“But, oh your facial expression is giving.. it’s causing me to laugh..”he went into another round of laughter.
