Abigail watched as Hailey plastered a fake smile on her face. She took a quick glance at the blonde woman standing before them. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she was dressed in a black mini dress. "Fancy seeing you here Racheal" Hailey said still smiling. "Yeah, you too. Uh what are you doing here?" "Oh, I'm just here with my boss" Abigail looked between both women quickly realizing that the blonde woman was Marcel's ex. She was beautiful with beautiful eyes. And perfect bone structure..she approved of her appearance but there was something off about her that Abigail couldn't quite place her hands on. Rachel took a quick glance at Abigail who was also starung her up and down and waved. "Hello miss" Racheal stretched her hands for Abigail to shake. "Mrs" Hailey corrected her eyes boring holes into the poor woman's head still smiling. Abigail hesitated before taking the woman's hand. "I'm Racheal" she smiled "A pleasure" Abigail said simply and withdrew her hand
Abigail's hands connected with Marcel's face in one swift move. The slap resounded in the open space. "Don't you ever do that again!" She said, staring down at Marcel even though she was shorter than him. Marcel looked down at her. There was a moment of realization in his eyes . He took a step back as the pain of her slap registered. "Shit." Marcel cursed. Abigail did not look amused. she had a look that made Marcel kick himself for what he did "I'm sorry, I didn't meant to…" "Just Leave my presence please." Abigail regretted the slap immediately but didn't show it. Quickly she pulled her hair back up in its usual bun. "I said I'm sorry." "I said leave," she grinded out. Her hands were balled into a fist as she glared at Marcel. Marcel nodded and left. Marcel went upstairs to his room and immediately kicked himself mentally for pulling such a stupid stunt. Why did you that? He face palmed himself.. He knew it was a risk to take down her hair but he didn't think it was tha
Dinner time was over and the kids went to do their homework as their mother had instructed. Marcel stayed behind to help pack the dishes."I'll help with that." He tried to speak to Abigail who was in the sink about to put the dishes in the dishwasher, but she put up her hands."I don't need your help." Marcel's lips thinned. He knew he had lost the battle."Alright. Goodnight then." He said walking out the door of the kitchen Abigail did not reply.************The next morning Marcel was at Abigail's door with a tray of french toast, scrambed eggs, orange juice, coffee and a rose bouquet.He knocked on the door."Come in!" A muffled voice said from the other side of the door.Marcel opened the door and strolled in.Abigail was staring at Marcel like he was holding a katana and he was coming for her head. Marcel looked around as it was his first time entering her room. He whistled audibly out how luxurious it was."What are you doing here?" Abigail's tone was cold enough to freeze t
"So, where are you taking me to? Any Restaurant in mind?" Abigail questioned Marcel as they stepped out of the building.Marcel chuckled as he glanced at her."What's so funny?" Abigail asked in confusion"Restaurant? Who said anything about a restaurant?'"Uh, you did remember when you came up to my office unannounced trying to make it up to me by saying you wanted to take me out to eat, even though I blatantly refused then you proceeded to go down to my lobby and create a scene? Or was that all some kind of hallucination?""Don't worry, you'll see"Marcel opened the car door for her, immediately they got to the parking lot. Abigail nodded as she entered the car. He drove them both through a street corner where Abigail did not recognize. She didn't realize there was some kind of restaurant around here but she was willing to try.As they moved Abigail couldn't help but notice the amount of street vendors standing by, selling all types of fake, knock off jewelry.Marcel stopped t
"Anyway, we'd like some tacos, can you believe she's never had tacos in her life.” Reggie glanced over at Abigail."Yes, I can.” Reggie said."I mean look at her. She looks straight out of a disney movie. But for real tho, who is she?”"Tacos man.” Marcel pressed laughing at his friend."Lady, I'll make you the best Taco's just for you. Everybody deserves to eat tacos!"Abigail smiled at his enthusiasm.Marcel turned over to Abigail who was looking around."Relax, no one's gonna eat you here.”"I'm relaxed! Who told you I wasn't relaxed?" She said sounding very unrelaxed. The place was crawling with weird people and some people she thought were shady, visibly she tried to look relaxed."Don't worry, we are safe here.” Abigal nodded to his words but felt very unsafe."Two tacos ready.” Reggie announced fifteen minutes later.Marcel took the Taco's from Reggie and paid. He turned to face Abigail. "Here"Abigail tentatively stretched her hands and took it from him. "Why does it look like
Denise stood watching the birds through the window in the living room. He was deep in thought when he heard footsteps behind him."There you are!" Elise exclaimed."You are it." She touched her brother and ran the other direction expecting Denise to chase her but when he didn't, she stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him"Den?" She tried to get his attention but he said nothing. She looked over at Maurice, as if to ask her if she knew what was wrong with their brother, who shrugged.."What's wrong?" She walked up to Denise with Maurice in stride. Denise sighed turning to face his sisters."Just thinking.""About what?" Maurice asked."About mom and Dad.""What about mom and Dad?" Elise asked. Her expression was one of curiosity."Yeah, what about them?""Haven't you guys noticed mom and dad have been acting weirdly lately?""What do you mean?" Elise asked, tilting her head to the side in question. Maurice's hands were folded across her chest."You know, strange. Remember at
"I brought dinner.” Mrs Weston sing-songed, showcasing two topperwaares Eustas carried. One large and the other a little smaller."Yayyy!" The kids yelled happily."Uh, thank you.” Abigail rushed to take the topperwaares from Eustas."That will be all Eustas." Abigail dismissed him, immediately she took The topperwaares containing lasagna from him."I didn't know you were coming.” She said, confused at her grandmothers abrupt and sudden visit."Well my grandbabies called and they wanted to see me, so of course I couldn't refuse my lil angels.” She said smiling down the triplets.Abigail turned to look at the triplets who were looking anywhere but her direction."Is that so?" She gritted out.The kids stood looking sheepsish."Yes and they said they missed my cooking, so naturally I made some food on my way.”Some? Abigail thought. This was a whole buffet of food. There was lasagna, Mac and cheese, fried rice and apple pie."Well, thanks Gran, I was about to make dinner but I'll just q
Abigail paced the floor of her bedroom with her head down. Marcel stood leaning against a wall watching her. She had called Marcel into her room after her grandmother had finally gone for the night and the kids had gone up to bed."I think you need to calm down." Marcel finally said, tired of seeing her go back and forth without so much as a word."Calm down?" Abigail suddenly stopped.Her voice was laced with annoyance."Did you not see what just happened, the kids almost exposed us to my grandmother. If she had found out that we weren't sleeping in the same room it would have jeopardized all of my plans. Do you know what that means? It means I'll no longer need your services*"Well, The good thing is that you stopped them in time.” Marcel tried to encourage her."And what if this happens again? Oh my God, is that why they moved your things into my room?" Abigail suddenly stopped as she came to a realization."Uh, what are you talking about?" Marcel asked. His brows furrowed in conf
