At first she acted like she was going to ignore it ever happening but with each passing now moment and as the memories of the night flooded through her mind it was more difficult for her to comprehend whatever all of this was, she was right there in the middle of this just because of Laura, she had chosen to walk through her that moment-
It as just like yesterday when she had her first sniff and slowly as the effects had sipped through her soul , she apparently enjoyed every thimg it came with and so had returned to doing it again and again.
She was at the moment about sniffing again when a knock had sounded through the room, as the echo drifted so did her heart.
She was confused as who it could be as he hadn’t heard the sound of a car driving in that moment-
Driven to that blank shift In he was minf she stepped to the door and opened.
Looking up, she noticed Laura watching her with knowing eyes that. seemed to say ‘Don’t
worry, I know what you did.’
She obviously couldn’t turn her away as the woman had just offered her help just the previous day-She nodded. Possibly it was all for the best. At least now she didn’t have the fear of any one knowing, all she wa scared of was Christian finding out that she still did drugs after the therapist and all, and other than Laura else no one else did
“So,”Laura spoke out loud.”Just came to check if you are fine, you know after what happened the other night.”
“If I am fine.”She asked.
“Yes, you know did you get to talk things out with him, look am just being kind kind and worried here.”
“Oh, him.”Rolling her eyes, she explained what had happened, she knew deep down she didn’t like the womanand might but something in her just wanted to talk and it did.
She chuckled.”Reminds me of how he can be at times .”Laura spoke without thinking
Something In Tonia chimed in as she heard that word.
“Oh, it’s good…”
Antonia tries all she could not to look stern but ended up shaking her head and allowing a smile to creep onto her face.”Thanks for checking, I am fine.”
She Sounded two tunes higher and Laura heard it, it was her clue to leave .
“oh, I leave them … take care.”She walked out.
****
Whwt had she just done?
She couldn’t get the thought out of her mind, she was more confused by it with every passing seconds and thought of why.
It was the exact thing she can’t get out of her head , she questioned why she was acting this way, and didn’t seem to be able to find a way to the reason.
Should she blame it on jealousy?
It was all she thought about even as she walked to her room leaving the other woman there Standing in awe-
“That was weird.”She shut the door after Laura had left.
ntonia ever since that night and been looking for a way to get him to speak, it didn’t look like she was feeling concerned about it in any way but still she can’t avoid the glances he gave her in a frequent, whatever reason that could amount to it was obvious that he was angry about something and it had a lot to do with what had happened
Hai cologne fills up the room immediately as he arrives from work as well, as usual he was going to kiss her and act like all of these didn’t matter but she ws quick to call him back on it
“Why do I feel you want this at something but isn’t.”She spoke just as he was unknotting his tie.
He nodded. She’d regained he courage for that part, she knew she had his attention and needed it at that moment.
Christian looked away for a moment before speaking.”What are you trying to say?”
He paused and then met her eye.”i am not keeping anything from you the last time I checked.”
“What I am saying…What are you keeping, you know she was here right.?”She sat bolt upright, then grimaced.
Though too shocked at this news, he knew he couldnt play to her game he needed his sanity.
At that Moment, it was constantly tiptoeing through his head.”She picked at his thoughts an if he stated this way without thinking of a way to diffuse it, it would most definitely blow up right there in his face.
Sitting down beside the bed, he stilled his agitated fingers and gently rubbed his thumb
back and forth over his palm.
Was she only teasing. He squeezed his hand, but then lifted his brows in inquiry.”What are you talking about”
It would mean a serious digging if she was getting this, she would have to go back to why she hadn’t usef his car that night.
She wasn’t ready to deal with that yet, it was a topic for another day morever it was just a thought in her head
“Let just say all of this is because you are seeing another woman, you are seeking comfort in another’s arm.”
Christian’s mental disquiet. Deciding to grab the opportunity of either run or duck, or the last bit of grabbing the bull by it horn … he went for the latter.
“I saw you were talking to Laura that night. What’s wrong?”
He glanced towards the window obvious she heard the question he countered. He quirked an eyebrow at her.
“does this have to go with you fucking another woman?”
His jaw tightened.”It’s all my fault. I should have believed what you told me-what everyone tried to tell me over the years-but I guess I didn’t want to hear it. In some ways, I know you can’t chang you will continue to be insecured.”
Uh-oh! he looked upset. This couldn’t be
good. She had been sure that since she had just brought you this topic the animosity between them two would cease. Apparently, she was wrong.
After a few more verbal exchanges, he left and she stood watching him go, shaking her
head.
She ran her finger through her hair while , staring at the sky and exhaling gustily- She braced herself for what might come.
For all she know she wasn’t losing this man!
