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
After Johnson had departed to the hospital, Alexandrine tried to process what had just happened. She wanted to understand why and how the news about their divorce had reached the media.“ Who could have done this?” Alexandrine tried to figure out who could have done such an evil act. “ Only three of us were aware of the divorce.” As she tried to think, she was horrified and she subconsciously thought, “ Could Tina be the one who leaked the news of our divorce over to the media?”Not pondering on the matter any longer, Alexandrine clothed herself and headed straight to the hospital where Johnson’s mother was taken.Meanwhile, at the hospital, there was no news about Johnson's grandmother’s condition. Johnson was worried and blamed himself for her state. Tina tried to comfort him, “ None of what happened today is your fault. You shouldn’t blame yourself.”Tina’s words seemed to have an effect on Johnson who hugged her tightly. Tina patted the back of his head and said, “ Everything will
“ You mentioned earlier that you needed a place to move in, right?” Estrella asked her friend who nodded in response. Later, she said, “ Why look for another place when you can just live here with me?”Alexandrine was hesitant before answering. Seeing how hesitant she was getting from answering her question, she said, “ You want to be independent, am I right?”“ I’m sorry, Estrella.” Alexandrine nodded as she admitted her friend was right. “ I don’t want to trouble you by living off you.”Estrella was a bit offended by her last statement. “ What do you mean, living off of me?”Alexandrine apologized for offending her as she didn’t mean it. She told Estrella that in order to make a fresh start for herself and her upcoming baby, she needed to face the world and she needed to do that alone. Estrella happened to get what she was saying and supported her decision for doing what was best for her and her baby.“ I’ll support you in your little endeavors. I’m your friend, after all.” She chuc
“ Johnson, what are you doing here?” Alexandrine asked the latter who didn’t say anything. He simply looked at her and caressed her face. She tried to break free but he was too strong for her.Staring at her, he said, “ Why don’t you guess the reason I’m here?”Johnson dragged her inside her house and locked it. Before Alexandrine had time to react to the situation, he kissed her crazily. Throughout the kiss, she smells the heavy smell of alcohol on him, deducting him to be drunk.With great difficulty, Alexandrine managed to break the kiss and slapped him hard. “ What do you think you’re doing, Johnson?” She shouted at him. Johnson simply looked at her without uttering a word. “ I’m not Tina, so stop behaving like an ass, or else, I’ll call the police on you.”“ You’ll call the police on me, huh?” Johnson forcibly grabbed her by the shoulders. “ Were you so in a hurry to divorce me so you could move in with your lover?” Johnson was blattering nonsense after nonsense. Alexandrine knew
