By staring at the dripping rain through the window, Alexandrine remembered an incident that occurred in the past, when she had just gotten married to Johnson, her husband.That day, it was raining heavily and Johnson was working on his computer in the room. It was raining so much that it started thundering. To protect herself from the thunder and not disrupt Johnson's work, she hid under the covers, waiting for the thunder to pass." What's wrong, Alexandrine?" Is everything okay?" He asked his wife who responded that everything was fine. When another thunder relented and Alexandrine felt agitated under the covers, Johnson finally grasped why his wife had hidden under the covers.Standing up from the chair and coming toward the bed and sitting beside his wife, he slowly removed the covers from her and saw his wife's eyes on the verge of tears. By the time the whole cover was removed, another thunder relented and this time, Alexandrine jumped into Johnson's arms for protection from the
Exasperated at Alexandrine's indifference, Johnson dropped the plate on the floor, thinking it would stir a reaction out of her. Johnson went to the dining table along with his plate to have breakfast." Alexandrine, do you really not care that our relationship is falling apart?" Johnson subconsciously wondered as he remembered his wife's earliest behavior.Alexandrine cleaned up the mess left by her husband in the kitchen. By the time she finished, Johnson was done with his breakfast.As he came to the kitchen to leave his plate, he looked over at Alexandrine and coldly muttered to her, " You'll be in charge of going over to the police station and collaborating with them on the investigation." I have no time to waste over such things as I have to take proper care of Tina."Alexandrine was hurt by the tone he harbored when speaking to her, but regardless of how she felt, she said, " It'll be done, Johnson. You can head to work without worry."" I'll be off then!" Johnson left the hous
Alexandrine entered the bus but as the bus was already quite full by the time she entered, she stood. Not far away from him, a couple meters away from her, there was Nathaniel who had also taken the bus alongside her.“ Ms. Claire is so beautiful. I can't because she's still single.” Nathaniel muttered silently as he observed Alexandrine who was deep in thought and didn’t seem to have noticed him yet.Back at home, Johnson got back from work and the first thing he did as he arrived was to look for his wife.“ Where is she?” He sighed in exasperation when he didn’t find her anywhere inside the house. He tried phoning her but to no avail. She wasn’t picking up his calls or at least, she couldn’t hear them to be more precise.“ Where could she have gone at this hour?” As that thought lingered in his mind, he remembered how he asked her to go to the police station to file Tina’s case at the police station as he couldn’t take care of it himself. “ She must still be at the police station fi
Michael told Johnson how he saw his wife, Alexandrine, coming into the bar with another man who was a true beauty. The more Johnson listened to his friend, Michael's explanation, the only thought that crossed his mind was that the man his wife was currently must have been her ex-boyfriend." I never knew Alexandrine knew a handsome man aside from you." Michael chuckled through the phone. " Are you coming or what?" He added to which Johnson said annoyedly, " Why should I show up there?"Michael was seriously annoyed at his friend and asked, " Are you seriously asking that right now?" Johnson was speechless. " I know you're a jersey and all, but don't you love her even for a bit?" Johnson didn't know what to say or how to answer as his friend popped that question at him out of nowhere. He had yet to take notice of his truest feelings toward his wife.When Michael heard the phone hanging up suddenly on Johnson's side, he slightly grinned as he knew his friend would be coming to the bar a
When the morning rose, Alexandrine unexpectedly remembered the events of last night and felt embarrassed." Why are you so red, my wife?" Johnson asked, sleeping next to her with an amused grin. Alexandrine looked away and quickly muttered in response, " It's so hot in here; I'm going to take a shower."Alexandrine tried to cover herself with a blanket as she got out of bed. Johnson looked at her in amusement once again and said sneeringly, " What are you trying to cover when I have already seen everything there is to see?"" Shut up, Johnson!" How can you say such embarrassing things?" She shut the door of the bathroom with a bang." So cute!" Johnson muttered when his wife was no longer in sight.In the bathroom, Alexandrine relived yesterday's events once more and felt embarrassed." Why did I let myself go with the flow again when I know deep down his true feelings?" Alexandrine subconsciously wondered as she was taking a shower.Johnson, still very much in bed, also relived last
Alexandrine was mesmerized at how handsome Johnson was in the costume she specifically chose for him. The latter was still waiting for her to compliment him but she was too busy admiring his handsomeness. “ Alexandrine, are you there?”Alexandrine snapped back to reality and looked at him in a daze. Witnessing her reaction, he said, “ Why? Am I so handsome that you couldn’t take your eyes off me?” He came near her and whispered through her ear.Alexandrine was mesmerized once again by his breath that was so close to her. She was having a hard time pushing him away as she wanted nothing more but to be near him. When Johnson made another comment, “ Did you know I would look this handsome as you chose those clothes for me?”Alexandrine finally found the strength to push him away. Coughing to hide her embarrassment, she muttered, “ What nonsense are you spouting so early?” She sat at the dining table and muttered once again, “ Come and have your breakfast, so we can get going already!”“
Everyone in the hall regarded Alexandrine as not knowing who she was and why the hostess was so pissed at her grandson. Alexandrine looked at the scene in sadness, especially the scene her soon-to-be ex-husband was giving with his lover, Tina.“ Once again, he’s taking Tina’s side,” Alexandrine muttered silently. Alexandrine felt embarrassed showing this embarrassing side of herself in front of everyone and more importantly that she didn’t know how to qualify herself and introduce herself in front of everyone.To stop the scene that was taking place, Alexandrine approached Johnson’s grandmother and held her hand softly, “ Grandmother, let it be!” She said before everyone, questioning themselves even more as to who I was. Johnson finally noticed Alexandrine dripping wet and wondered what might have happened to her.“ Alexandrine, what happened to you? Why are you dripping wet?” The latter asked out of concern without leaving Tina’s side even for an instant. Alexandrine didn’t let her s
A couple of minutes earlier, as Alexandrine was in the shower, she thought of what happened earlier in the main hall; How Johnson got angry over her and wanted to punish his cousin Meredith for slandering her.“ He was so cool back there that I almost fell for him all over again,” Alexandrine muttered as the water was sipping through her. “ How good would that be if beneath that anger, there was some love for me?” She muttered again as she lightly touched her tummy.“ I wouldn’t have to leave Johnson and we would be one happy big family with our baby.” She muttered joyfully before thinking how she could have lost her baby when she was pushed into the swimming pool by Meredith.“ Thank God nothing happened to you, baby.” Alexandrine was grateful most of all that her baby had escaped unscathed as anything could have happened in there, but she was happy that in the end, things were resolved peacefully.Later, when Alexandrine finished showering, she looked around her and realized that sh
