When Sasha and I arrived home that evening after walking around all day, we put up an act pretending to be at odds. And just as expected Gina appeared to be loving the show meanwhile I was almost dying from laughter on the inside. Oh, how easy it was to fool her.At least I was thankful that I had a friend now, some one to confide in. Ever since that day I haven't set my eyes on Ruth. I suddenly remembered that I had purchased a car that day, along with my belongings that were forgotten. I knew I would have to go back for them sooner or later, but first I must prepare my mind. I walked into the room with a yawn but was however forced to pause mid air upon finding Cameron sprawled across the bed. He eyed me distastefully before proceeding to question my whereabouts, "where have you been?" In that deep husky tone that let me know he's about to snap. I was at the verge of panic until it hit me that he was present this morning when Gina asked me to show Sasha around."Weren't you at the
I was shocked when he moved closer to me cradling my sobbing form, this caused me to cease crying and look up and him but Cameron's attention was directed elsewhere as he slowly rubbed my back. "I didn't mean to be harsh but the truth is I'm the one who got you into this mess." He admitted with a sigh, "if we weren't married neither of those women would be after you. While he wasn't wrong, I have never for once blamed him. I wanted to tell him that it was fine and we would eventually pull through this but it seemed like he wasn't done talking yet. "I'd hate myself if something happened to you."That took me by surprise and even caused my heart to skip a bit, not only was he worried about me he was also admitting it to my face. I couldn't help but notice that he seems a bit off today, but I'm not complaining it seems to be a good thing rather. "And I'm not saying this because I'm in love with you or anything." His voiced filled the air once, and I chuckled barely holding myself bac
"What would I ever do without you?" Cameron exclaimed, it felt as though he was exaggerating. I couldn't seem to understand the source of his happiness, yet I pretended to be happy with him. Done swinging me around I was released back to my position while he stared at me with a huge grin. "Why are you so excited anyway?" I couldn't believe he had forgotten our moment together, honestly it left me slightly pissed but still I felt relieved that the story turned out to be false. I don't know what I would've done if it were to be true. "You do not seem to understand the gravity of the situation at hand." Cameron spoke, "with the accusations levelled against me, no doubt my reputation would go down in smoke except you have saved me from that harsh fate."He seemed really grateful, I could tell the smile on his face was genuine. "So what will you do next?""Prove my innocence of cause!"Just as I had expected him to respond, "I would love to stay back and hear more about how you plan to a
The room was in disarray but it didn't take long for everyone to get into position. I saw a middle aged woman approach, joining us on the high table, and even though I was sitting down on Cameron's lap that didn't deter her from winking at him. I turned my face to the front pretending not to notice. Soon they commenced filming, she questioned Cameron about his recent scandal, he seemed eager to accept the question but what I didn't know was that he would push me to the war front."My wife here can explain what happened that night." He said with a proud smirk on his face, suddenly everyone's attention was focused on me. I froze momentarily trying to piece my thoughts together. Nervous as I was I knew I had to do this, in order to prove his innocence. I won't leave my husband alone to the wolves, so I wiped my sweaty palms against the skirt I had on preparing myself to speak. "We we're together that night.. at home." My voice was barely audible. The woman appeared confused as if she
Just when I thought he was finally going to bring down his walls and open up to me, he turned his face away leaving me feeling disappointed. But I chose not to voice out my thoughts, with a man like Cameron taking baby steps is what is needed. A week ago we weren't here, surely by the next one we'll be somewhere different. Without saying a word to me he kickstarted the engine zooming off in an instant. I couldn't help but notice that all through the ride he appeared troubled, it made want to give him a hug but I kept still. Suddenly a honk from the side caused me to jump in my seat, placing a hand over my beating heart. I shot my gaze outside the window to see where the commotion had emerged from. To my surprise it was no other than Cecilia, chilling in a sports red car that I found to appear oddly familiar. Upon putting pieces together I was struck with disbelief, surely that could not be my car right?She rolled down her sunglasses blowing Cameron a kiss. He had a not so welcomin
“And why shouldn’t I?” I stepped forward with my chest pushed forward as if say that I wasn’t intimidated when in reality I was trembling on the inside. “If you and your husband are being stalked by his crazy ex, I’m sure you would be curious and eventually go to do some digging.” There was no reason to hide that I had done my homework on her, didn’t she do the same thing? I trailed my eyes towards Cameron and found him staring at me in amazement.He must probably be wondering where I had gotten the courage from, I’m used to being bullied by his mother and sister anyway. I could just endure waiting for it to be over, except this time I’m not dealing with his family member but rather an ex girlfriend.Unable to take it anymore I watched as she charged toward me, but I was one step ahead of her, quick to dodge and grab her ponytail from behind. She ended up missing a step, I found that to be the perfect opportunity and let go of my hold. This caused her to fall flat on her face, smacki
By time we got home I was exhausted, headed for the bed to crash but unknown to me Cameron had other plans. He snuck up on me from behind, lifting me off the ground as he swung my tiny frame around the room vigorously.Caught by surprise I couldn’t help but scream, except this did nothing to deter him. I was starting to feel dizzy when I felt him place me on the ground. From the expression on his face I could tell that he was excited, and I failed to understand the source of his happiness. Was it truly because I stood up to Cecilia back there?“You’re probably wondering why.” He said breaking the silence. “I’ve never met someone who could make Cecilia lose her ability to speak, but you did it so effortlessly it’s amazing.” Pausing for a moment, I could see his eyes roam through my body. “I didn’t peg you to be the type.”Somehow those words managed to upset me deeply, “is it because I let your mother and sister walk over me is that why you think I’m a pushover?”I saw his expression s
I watched her hands go up as if she’d hit me again, this caused me to close my eyes waiting for the harsh sting of her palm on my cheek but it never came. Instead, I felt a presence before me, like an armor protecting me from danger, Cameron was standing there holding his mother’s hand up in the air.The reaction on her face was so priceless that I almost could not keep myself from bursting into a laughing fit but I told myself to hold it in, not wanting to create more problems.“And what do you think you’re doing?” Gina asked with anger blazing in her eyes.“I should be the one asking you that.” His deep tone travelled along the corridor, “what do you think you’re doing to my wife?”Thank god his back was hidden from me if not he’d see me blushing like a fool right now. Her confused expression soon transformed into a wicked smile as she parted her lips to speak, “I’m only teaching her what’s right and how to be a proper lady so she doesn’t go out there one day and put mud on our nam
