LAWRENCE.
My woman.
Stella.
The only name that mattered to me more than my very own life, funny how some pretty dumb ass neighbor gave herself the mere thought or rather a dream of comparison.
How dare she?
“How long have you been standing out there?.” Stella asked, a smile glued on to my face as I drew closer to her and took my seat by the poolside.
“I'm hungry, wanna grab anything? I'm thinking about French cuisine. How about you?.” I asked fondly and easily, while the same frown etched to her face.
“Lawrence!That is not an answer to my question.” she chirped in once more and I nodded, my eyes glanced back across the yard in the direction the lady had walked off to.
“Long enough to see how much she disrespected you my lady, and you on the other hand still had not responded t
LAWRENCE.I passed her a knowing look across the room, a smile trickled down from the sides of her lips to the corner of her eyes, she scanned through the content of the menu happily.“a pleasure of mine to meet you both here.” we both raised our gazed and met with that of hope, she looked rather chirpy and happy,“common, say hello to the neighbours Julian.” she chirped in hastily, her husband scanned our surroundings slightly and scoffed.“I'll be by our table.” he answered hastily and walked across and away from us, his voice filled with pride.“oh, pardon me, he is somewhat allergic to peasants and I should call it a fair trial seeing how you both are just the lucky ones, how can you even afford to get a dinner here. You don't want to wreck the poor souls who decided to have you both funded do you?.” she asked, her eyes ha
STELLA.The continuous banging of the door in an irritable manner caused me annoyance.“Who the fuck is that?.” I yelled at the top of my voice as I sat up in bed, my first glance settled on Lawrence who had a coffee mug in his hands and a wide smile on his face.“There is someone by the door,” I asked and stood to my feet, somehow worried, I glanced about and it seemed like he knew about it as well.“I know, I was waiting for you to see this yourself.” he added, there was something about him, he looked so relaxed.“Would you not like to check?.” he asked once again, and I was not the worst person to deal with yet I knew he was up to nothing good, at least not in the way I expected.“you've been up all along and you didn't seem bothered enough to check so what's the difference?.” I aske
STELLA. “Julian had a striking resemblance, last night he had not recognised me however I knew I saw him somewhere once, turned out he was one of those who distributed the plastic and rubbed from my industry, he had somehow cooked up a plan, I do admire his courage and smartness, even the cameras Missed him. Yet like a fool he outed himself last night, he stole some goods and had them sold at a cheaper price times without numbers, somehow they kept going on for a long time. Anyway, one thing after another he helped me find out who the thieves were and he was sacked. Yet the interesting thing I still admire was simple, I learnt a whole lot just from his bickering, either way he got punished for it and that's all, I Don't think you have much time to spend here either, there should be a call in about a few…..” His words were cut short as a call came from her phone just on cue, she shook and mumbled inaudible words as she shot me a glance, hastily she rose to her feet and sprinted acr
STELLAS POV.The wind howled in my face as I took a sip off the coconut drink placed by my side, a frown settled on to my face with my shades over my eyes while I stared up at the sun hoping it could just melt on to me.“What is wrong? More tan?.” Lawrence asked as he laid by my side, I raised my glass down to the bridge of my nose as I stared along his perfectly oiled up body and then ran my tongue over my lips. I wasn't sure what it was but I was not fine.“no, not really,” I responded trying to hold in my anger, I was not sure what should be done about it anymore.“what's wrong?. '' he asked almost immediately, caught me off guard, I had not expected him to catch on so quickly but then again it was Lawrence he never lagged behind on anything.“Nothing, just not feeling so fine, a little bothered that's all.” I admitted, he didn't look too great and hot up a questioning gaze at me as soon as I spoke.“that's all I needed to hear you've been quite gloomy but I did not want to test my
STELLAS POV.HE said nothing to me all through the night and I held my peace, I had no reason to get myself worked up into things that bore no sensible reason, for all I cared was that things were well between us.“good morning love.” he greeted me as I walked out of the bathroom, a smile sat on my face as I gave in totally. I was not prepared to get myself stuck between the occurrences id the previous night, it was no right, I could not keep at it anymore.“morning.” I answered, slouching my shoulders, I was tired and somehow it didn't end well with me, I walked on towards the mirror tugged at my towel as a knock came on the door.“It's just the cleaner love, I'll get the door for you.” he answered and I wasn't bothered, but then again I hastened my steps and opened the doors to the room before he did.“you can rest in.” I chirped in unsure of what it was he wanted to hear,I pushed opened the doors and a slender looking lady with a basket in her hand and a vacuuming sort of machine
STELLA.Reluctantly I pushed open the doors, a frown on his face as I walked past him, my eyes darted across the corridors, it was not cleaned, I walked back into the master's bedroom and I had never felt so content and to walk in on a scattered room, he had not allowed the maid in either. “Now you tell me, what the hell is it that went wrong with you Stella, is everything okay?.” he asked and still held hard to my arms while I stared back at him, he wasn't happy and I understood.I barely could give an explanation for what I had done as well because I knew I was left with little to no choice.“can't you at least talk?.” he called after me and pulled closer to me, closing in all space between us.“you didn't want to talk last night as well and now I'm sorry but I do not feel that much of energy within me anymore and please do not bring it up.” I complained about what he was thinking, that he could stand me up and then walk around me just as he deemed fit.“okay, I'm sorry, for lashin
STELLAS POV.Air closed in on me as my vision became blurry, I could barely stand on my feet anymore, I rested against the table, had my hands placed over it, I was a mess, a complete mess.The noises increased and the chatter continued, it was like a never ending sort of bicker amongst rich folks, when Lawrence spoke of a party he eased it up, I never knew it was going to be something so huge.It looked and felt more like a red carpet sort of event for a met gala and event for celebrities. He shifted himself away from me and into the crowd a few minutes ago. I had tried searching for him but I could not bear it anymore.He excused himself with the little line that he knew what it was that he wanted, a whole lot other had little or nothing to do with me to be precise, it was business talks and he offered to have be taken along but it was certainly going to bore me to death and I decided the stay back , behind however thinking about the decision I made it had not seemed to be the smart
LAWRENCE.“Just relax, okay, don't get all worked up for no reason, Stella, you are fine, I've had the doctor run some tests, everything Showed up well so would you please stop whatever bickering you have all planned out already?.” I knew I was quick to speak, at least at the moment but still passing out twice on me at the moment only registered me as an irresponsible person..I could not let that happen, I needed to start paying more attention to her state of health, we are married for fucks sake and I was just not getting why she kept keeping things from me.“really?, I'm fine? Nothing else?.” she asked, batted her eye at me in a questioning manner, I really had stopped understanding her after the whole issue of a miscarriage, I understood it was hard for her to have lost a baby but it fucked up her mental health a whole lot.“Yes, that is what the doctor's report says and I believe we both understand what it means, I do not run the test they did.” I answered, I saw the manner in wh
