Diana and I were in our dormitory watching a comedy video on my phone when a message notification popped up on my phone. It says, " Your husband is sick and has been hospitalized for a week" The message was from Pete, Greg's assistant. Diana and I both looked at each other at the same time after reading the message. She was looking at me to see how I would react to the message. Truth is, I felt something I couldn't explain in my heart. It's been two months since I've heard from him. The only bit of him I see is on the news about him and Rose. " You have to go home and check up on him" Diana said" You think so? He has people around him, I don't think my attention would be needed" I said" It doesn't matter, and this is the best time to put all I've taught you into practice. This is the best time to apply them" Diana repliedAfter our last conversation about Greg, she has been teaching me for months thinking I'd start applying for them after our semester's break when I'll get to
Greg's pov" Babe let's go home"The word kept ringing in my ears after she said it. What is wrong with Sophie?She had only left for school for two months but she looked like a new person entirely. Her outfit was totally different, she wore a short blue gown with a slit on her left thigh. Her hair was down and the bag she was carrying? Isn't she a student?She had added weight and looked a bit matured than her age. What has she been feeding on? Now she's calling me babe? What has gotten over my wife?"Babe" her soft voice brought me back from my thoughts without thinking I replied."Hmmnn" " Let's get you home" she said with a concerned look on her faceI obliged to her request because I was tired of my mom and Rose. I didn't want to send both of them away because I couldn't bare to see their tears and bikerrings. I don't know what mom is planning with Rose knowing I was married already but whatever it is, it's not going to happen.Sophie called Pete and asked him to support me af
Sophie's povAfter I was done feeding him, I carried the plates and left the room. I saw his gaze following him but I ignored it.In the kitchen, while I was washing the dishes, I couldn't stop thinking about everything I did earlier."Sophie you have gone too far" I thoughtMy phone rang and it was Diana." Hi Sophie" she said on the other lineShe asked me about the trip and how Greg was doing. I replied to her and told her what transpired between us and how I had done too much.Diana couldn't stop laughing." You tried, you even did more than expected, girl. " She commended me" You think so?"She assured me that everything I did was fine. After talking for a while, we bidded each other bye and hung up. I was already done washing the dishes, so I made my way towards Greg's room. Before I opened the door, I sighed before finally entering his room. I thought he was already sleeping, so I laid on the left side of his bed where he was facing with his eyes already closed. As I lay on
At the realization of what I had done, I knew I had gone overboard. Rather than admit what I had done, what I did next surprised me. I didn't know I could act like that! " Hmnnn… hmmmm…" I said scratching my head pretending to be sleep talking and wasn't aware of my surrounding. After I had done that, I pretended to go back to sleep while muttering rubbish I myself didn't understand.I could see Greg confused at what just happened. I smiled under the duvet and was embarrassed at same time. I was quite happy with the stunt I just pulled, it would save me from explanation and embarrassment later. After thinking for a while, I slept off.In the morning, I woke up to sounds coming from downstairs. I sat up on the bed and realized Greg wasn't on the bed.Wait, that voice sounds like Rose's own. I quickly went to Greg's closet and wore his robe from last night. My my hair still disheavealed, I went out of the room. There's no way I'd let her have her way!" Who is she to you? You said
After the call, I took a shower and freshened up. After I was done, I brought out some of my assignments and started working on them.When I checked the time later, two hours had gone already. I stood up from Greg's study space and went downstairs to prepare lunch for him. I hadn't left the room before it crossed my mind that Greg hadn't taken his morning medication. I went towards his shelf by the bed and saw his medicine there. It was where it was yesterday, he hadn't touched it I took the medications and went downstairs. Greg was seated on the sofa still working on his laptop! " You know you should be resting," I said, walking towards him.He didn't reply" You didn't take your medication this morning, you've not rested since" I said to himI was met with great silence. He continued with whatever he was doing on his laptop. I left him and headed towards the kitchen. I made lunch for both of us. After I was done, I walked towards where he was and informed him about lunch. He st
" But, you can go out with other women?" I asked looking at him" You have no right to question me. I'm warning you, don't test my patience" he said and left." I'm going to do whatever I like. Just so you know, Sheila is starting on Monday" I said behind him making my way to my room too.He suddenly stopped walking and replied, " I'm not responsible for her or her salary, you take care of that since you're capable" he said and leftHe knew I couldn't afford it. What's with him and his ego? Wouldn't it be beneficial to him if she starts working? I went back to my room and went straight to bed. I have a flight tomorrow afternoon.The following morning, I woke up late. I rushed downstairs to prepare Greg's food. I quickly prepared something very light. I went to his room to inform him about breakfast. I knocked the first time, he didn't answer. I knocked the second time, while waiting for his reply, the door suddenly opened." What is it?" He asked, still in his pajamas and dark circ
I became mute. His eyes were cold and serious, I knew if I didn't clean it, he'd do it with his lips.Pete cleared his throat noticing the tension between us. None of us paid him no heed because we were in our own world. I gently and obediently brought out my napkin and cleaned everything. After I was done, I gently asked," Can I leave now?"He didn't say anything, he just smiled and moved back to his seat.I accepted his silence as a yes.Wanting to leave his dominating presence, I quickly opened the door, my legs haven't touched the ground before I heard ,"Wait, and close the door" he said with a commanding toneI didn't know what to do between coming down from his car or just waiting like he said. While I was contemplating on what to do, he added" I know you don't want the whole school to know I'm your husband. If you don't close the door like I said, don't be surprised at what I would do next" he said with his tone domineering without a glance towards my direction. I obedientl
Greg's povSophie is making me lose my mind. Why would she care whether have eaten after the stunt she pulled earlier?She walked out on me, now she wants to be the caring wife? She knew I was sick but she left me alone because of Tony. I don't even understand myself anymore, I think I'm losing it. All these started that night when I kissed her.I woke up that night and saw her sleeping face closer to mine. I looked at her face down to her brows and lashes. "She caused me trouble earlier, now she's sleeping peacefully" I thoughtMy gazed moved to her lips and I couldn't take my eyes off it, felt a nudge in my body and without thinking, I moved closer and kissed her, I thought I was going to stop at a light peck, my body wanted more. I left my mind and followed what my body wanted. I continued to kiss her till I saw her slowly opening her eyes. Caught in the act, I immediately got back to my senses and tried pull back, I didn't know when she pulled me back and kissed me back. For th
