Sasha bit her lips, that is indeed true, just how did she forget? "So how I'm I going to make it up for you girls?"
"Exactly what I want to hear" rejoiced Agatha "you see, you are married to a billionaire, so money shouldn't be a problem to you anymore right? Good, you are going to spend on us tonight girl."
"I'm so happy my mother in law is around, she will look after the little devils for me" Janet smiled.
"I'm already calling my babysitter" Agnes punched in a number into her phone and started dialing.
"Little eggroll is already out with her father and not coming back till tomorrow, so I'm free" laughed Agatha.
Marilyn sighed "Sasha and I don't have babies yet, we won't have to worry about that one, so we are good to go."
Sasha sighed, she haven't agreed and they are already making preparation "girls I..."
"No excuses Sasha, are you picking us up or should we be meeting you at the club?" Janet demanded.
Sasha bit her lip, when the girls agreed to something, there is no talking them out of it, so she better think of a way to tell her husband, that's if he will listen to her but she still got to try. She sighed, to think she had originally planned on talking to him about his rules tonight, well there will always be another night "fine, we will all be meeting at the club."
The women shouted and each blew her a kiss before walking out of the office. Sasha stared at the door after them, he is not going to refuse her hanging out with her girls right? She mean, it's something she was supposed to do even before their wedding, so he is not going to get mad when she tells him right? That's if he allows you to tell him, don't talk to him remember? The voice in her head reminded and she groaned.
Sasha closed for work and worked out of the office to see her girls giving a knowing smile which she nodded to. They all walked outside and the girls wowed when they saw the BMW "you drive a new car now?" Janet asked.
"Not really, I haven't been opportune to go home and get my car, so I just drove the first one my hand touched the keys" she replied nonchalantly.
The ladies were all staring at her "what!" They shouted simultaneously.
Sasha looked at them with a frown "what?"
"First one, listen, she said first one her hands touched the key, which means they are more!" Shouted Agatha.
"Stop being a drama queen will you?" Sasha hissed before opening the car.
"What drama queen? Girl, you are in the money" Marilyn replied and the rest nodded.
Sasha rolled her eyes and got in the car "you girls better go home and prepare or should we cancel?" She raise her eyebrow and they all shouted.
"Don't you dare!" She laughed and said goodbye to them before closing the door. She started the car and reversed from the lot, through her rear mirror, she saw them still staring at the car and she shook her head unbelievably. Yes the car is quite shiny but that doesn't mean they have to be behave like that, she thought.
Worry less about them now Sasha, worry about your husband and how you are going to tell him you are going out, he said don't talk to him right? So what is she to do? Should she write it down? "Ah" she groaned "For Christ sake Sasha, he is your husband, you don't have to leave him a note when he will be at home before you leave" she told herself "I will just tell him like a normal person" she concluded before stepping on her accelerator.
She got to her new home and parked the car in the exact same place she picked it from, a part of her was happy that he didn't return before her, do you really need to be worried? Are you actually scared because you drove his car to work? She tried to caution herself but it still didn't stop that part of her being happy that he was not yet home.
She walked into the house and decided to make dinner before preparing to go out with the girls. She hurried up with the simple dinner she made and put it in the microwave, to keep it warm. She rushed upstairs and had a quick shower. She opened the wardrobe and was glad her mother in law really thought about her well. While searching through the clothes there, she remembered he had walked into a walk-in closet that night and she decided to have a look at it.
She opened the walk-in closet and wowed, it was very spacious, and they were a lot of racks, mostly contained different type of suits and colors, damn, she thought as she got in but then one rack got her attention, all it has were lady's gowns, different sizes and lengths and different colors, there is also another one that hold different kinds and colors of stilettos, another one holds different handbags, all worth in millions.
Damn, what is Michael doing with all these female wears? She is definitely sure they can't be for his girlfriends, because she is sure he doesn't have any, now the close to ten racks that holds men cloths is understandable, maybe he gives some to his male lovers, even the shoes, she is sure in six months, he will not repeat a single one.
Her fingers caressed the suits and they all smell like him, well the whole closet smells like him. Thinking about him, a part of remind her that he might be on his way back and might not like to see her in here, stay out of my business, she remembered his last rule and turned and walk out of the closet immediately, she closed the door but not without taking a glance at the female wears, just who owns them? She really wants to know. Is Michael not gay? But then in school when everyone was talking about it, he didn't step out to deny it.
Then will she ask him who owns the dresses? And have him know you invaded his privacy? A voice warned her and she sighed, she definitely can't ask him, she just have to wait till when things are finally okay between them, then she will ask him. She just hopes it won't be that long, because she don't think she can wait before knowing the lady that owns the dresses, shoes and bags in her husband's walk-in closet.
She sighed and casually picked out a red gown from her wardrobe and put on, she let her hair fall, she apply mascara and also a red lipstick, she put on her earrings and a slim wristwatch, she looked at herself in the mirror and pouted, she looked beautiful, but will her husband notice that? She doubt.
She pick up her purse and phone and realized Janet had sent her a text, they were on their way to the club already. She replied that she will be soon and checked herself in the mirror again before getting out a golden stilettos and put on. She walked down the stairs and her eyes glanced at the wall clock, it's almost eight, why isn't he back yet?
She sat on the sofa, prepared to wait for him, after all, it won't be nice of her to just leave the house without his consent right? She brought her phone to call him and realize that she don't even have his number, what kind of wife doesn't have her husband's number? Just as she was still groaning, she heard the sound of a parking car and jumped to her feet, she looked at the time and it was 8:15, is that the time he often comes home? but last night... Ah, forget it, you don't even know the time he came back yesterday.
She stood staring expectantly at the door. The door opened and he walked in, his suit was in his hand and three buttons in his shirt were open, his right hand carried his briefcase. He looked at her and looked away almost immediately, he made his way to the stairs and she followed "I made dinner. It's in the microwave, should I warm it up for you?"
He ignored her and started climbing the stairs "how was work, hope it wasn't too stressful?" He still didn't reply her "I'm going out with my friends tonight. I was supposed to take them on a girls night out before our wedding but I didn't. I want to make it up to them today. We are going to a club near..." She was saying when he stopped in his tracks.
Michael turned to face her and his eyes burned into hers "I never knew you were deaf" he said in his deep sensational voice "or are you just acting ignorant or playing dumb?"
Sasha bit her lip "I'm just trying to let you know where I'm going."
"Do I look like I care? If you want to spend the night out, I don't care."
"Michael..."
"I gave you a rule, and it's your duty to abide by it. Don't talk to me, what's so hard to understand there, or are you just so stupid to not know when someone doesn't want you?"
His words slammed into her heart and she tried to hide how hurt that feels "should I warm up your food for you?"
Michael snort "Jesus I'm married to a dumbass" he looked at her again "I don't want your food, clear enough?"
She sighed and nodded "okay, I'm I allowed to go out with the girls?" He just turned around and continued climbing up the stairs "I will take that as a yes" she added but he pretended not to hear her and made his way straight to the bedroom.
Sasha stared after him and sighed, just as she was about to think her brains out, her phone ringtone blew up, she rushed and picked it up and it was Janet "hey baby girl?" She tried her best to sound lively.
"Where the hell are you? We have been waiting for twenty minutes!"
"I will be there, just give me ten minutes" she replied and hung up. She grabbed her purse and ran out of the house.
She was lucky enough to see a cab immediately and she stopped it, got in and they drove off.
Upstairs, stood a man near the window, his crystal blue eyes followed the cab's light before he dialed a number in his phone "find out the club Mrs. Brown is going to, you have ten minutes" he hung up and his eyes still followed the cab, even though it was way out of sight.
The cab stopped her in front of the club, it was one of the biggest and widely known club in Los Angeles, she got down, paid the cab and turned to walk in when she saw her girls walking up to her "what the hell took you so long?" Questioned Agatha, she was dressed to kill in a short black gown, her hair in a ponytail.The rest all glared at Sasha and she clasped her hands together in front of her chest "I am so sorry, I had to wait for Michael to get back, that's what delayed me. I'm so sorry" she pouted."Oh I see, you guys didn't rush to have a quickie right?" Agatha asked and the girls all shouted her name "what?"Janet shook her head and said to Sasha "you are here now, so let's go in. I'm dying for a dance.""And some booze" the rest added."Sorry girls I don't think I should..." She was saying but then, why not? She thought "yea, booze" she added and the girls laughed before they all walked in, they showed their I.D cards to the bouncer and he let
A tall man in black suit walked into the club and all the bouncers there rushed to greet him. His crystal blue eyes searched the whole dancefloor but he seemed not to find what he was looking for, he reached for his phone to dial a number as his eyes roam around the whole room before settling on a blonde sitting at the bar with four extra women. She looked so happy as she was downing her glass content.He furrowed his brows, if she continues like that, she will get drunk. He cursed and walked up the stairs to the VIP lounge, they were tables around and people were sitting and drinking. He walked past them into a private booth where he sat, two bouncers followed him and each stood beside him.There were a lot of people in the club but his eyes were focused on one particular blonde in red skimpy dress. It's been long he had seen her that happy, there were a lot of clubs in L.A but she actually chose he's? Well he can't blame her, he owns about sixty five percen
Sasha felt the sunlight on her face, she frowned and wondered in her sleep how the sunlight was able to seep through into the room with it's drape always closed. Her neck hurts just like her back, she noticed she wasn't laying comfortably and her eyelids fluttered open. The first thing she noticed was the windshield and her brows creased, how can they be a windshield in their room?The sunlight shines through the window and that was when she noticed she was sitting. She tried to get up but noticed the seatbelt strapped on her body, her frowning face turned uglier and she looked around her surrounding, only to notice the steering wheel, the driver's seat, the gear and for her to make up that she is in the car.Why would she be in the car? She wondered and details of last night came pouring in, she had gone out with the girls and they had gotten drunk, she had gone to the ladies room and then she had seen Michael. He had carried her on his shoulder after shouting at
Michael watched her from the stairs, he wanted so bad to go to her, to pull her in his arms, to hug her and tell her he is sorry to make her cry, to tell her everything is going to be okay. He took a step and stopped himself, hell no, why will he do that? She started it all, she hurt him first, back then in the school, she hurt him first, why should he apologize to her? She brought it upon herself, he is only paying her back, let her feel the pains she made him feel. He knows it won't hurt her like it did to him after all, she doesn't love him. But he is going to make her life a leaving hell.Thinking to that, he shut his eyes and when he opened it again, all the compassion was gone, all that was left there, was coldness, cold enough to freeze even a Yeti, he turned and walked into their room.Sasha walked into the bathroom fifteen minutes after Michael left the house. She stepped into the tub, the hot water sooth her aching bones. She shut her eyes and held
A young man knocked on the office door before going in "yes boss?" Gary asked while looking at the cold man sitting on the chair and going through a document. He lifted his head from the papers and looked at the man standing before him."Cancel the contract we have with the minister, his son is in charge of it right?" He asked coldly."Yes boss."The cold man nodded "good. If they ask why, tell him next time when he goes to a club, he shouldn't touch any woman.""But boss, the contract is almost at the end. If we call off now, we have to pay five million dollars as compensation for canceling on them.""Transfer it to them then" he ordered."Boss, don't you think you should reconsider?" Gary tried to stop his action.Michael looked at him "he touched my wife, nobody touches my wife. If they refuse the compensation fee. Ask them to come meet me.""Boss ...""Don't Gary" he ordered and Gary shut up immediately, he values hi
Sasha stepped out of the bathroom while thinking of what to wear, she rummaged her wardrobe but wasn't satisfied with any of the cloths there, her eyes kept drifting to the walk-in closet and the rack filled with lady wears. No no, Sasha, don't go there, she cautioned herself. She opened one of the boxes she came back with and brought out some of her old wears but none of them seem to be the right thing to wear. Her eyes drifted to the walk-in closet again and she bit her lower lip.Of course, this will be the right time to get him to talk, why should she be afraid? She is his wife, why should he be keeping female wears and she is not allowed to touch them? How possible? After seeing through her reasons, she got up still wrapped in a towel and walked into the closet. She reached the rack and wowed again, she strongly believes there is only one piece of each gowns in the world, she touched a red long gown and immediately fell in love.She brought it out and walked to the
Michael parked in front of his parents mansion. He turned of the engine and sighed, he wanted so badly to talk to the woman beside him. He knew he had hurt her tonight and heaven knows he didn't want to, if she hadn't shout at him or talked back at him, he wouldn't have done it. He is used to shouting to people and they would stand there with their heads low, none of them dared to look at him, let to talk of to shout at him. But she did and it annoyed him.He glanced at her and saw her sitting with her head bowed, obviously waiting for him to get out of the car first, he felt the impulse of reaching out to touch her and when his hands wanted to obey, he clenched it to stop himself, why should he console her? What he did tonight is not up to a quarter of what she did to him. The law of nature said that thou shall reap what thee sow and she is only reaping hers, so why should he feel bad? The main reason of marrying her was to get back at her, the pain she had made him live in f
They got home and Michael parked the car, got down and walked into the house. Sasha sighed as she watched him, of course he was only putting on front for his parents, did I think he actually cared? Like he is gonna change in a minute, she thought before getting down from the car too. She went up the stairs to their room to see him undressing. She walked to her dressing table and dropped her purse before turning to face him, he already has his shirt unbuttoned "I'm sorry...I'm sorry for walking into your closet and taking something from it without your permission. I will have the dress washed and returned just the way I saw it."Michael snorted as he removed his shirt before reaching for his singlet, he pulled that off too and feasting his well built body to her eyes to which she gulped "return it just the way you saw it. How do you think that is possible?""It's possible, I will just have it washed.""When you took it out of there" he pointed at the walk-in closet
“I don’t get it, what would it take you to tell her how you feel?” Sapphire asked the man beside her, staring at the windscreen of his eighteenth birthday car at the young girl with dark brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes. A girl she had known all of her life and has known that her brother was crushing on big time but will never tell her.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Christopher answered, tearing his gaze away from the girl even though it was so hard to do.Sapphire sighed, shaking her head softly, “this thing they say, like father like son, I think it’s true.”Christopher groaned tiredly, “please don’t start with your lectures about dad and mom relationship, please.”“I only use it because it the truth, I mean, look at you, you have been in love with Cindy for as long as I can remember, but tell her? Hell no,” she shook her head again.“I don’t love her.”“Yeah, keep lying to yourself,” she folded her arms on her chest, “it’s your birthday tomorrow, if you want, I can
“Happy Anniversary,” Michael whispered to Sasha in the ear and she turned to him, staring at the small box he was handing her.“What is this?” she asked with a smile, taking the box from him.“Open it, who else asks what was given to them for anniversary?” Michael rolled his eyes, then kissed her forehead.Sasha chuckled and opened the box, she was surprised to see a key and she looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, “I don’t understand.”“Let’s go,” he smiled and grabbed her hand, leading her out of the house.“Where to?” Sasha asked, getting into the car.“To see your anniversary present, duh,” he laughed softly, getting into the car.They drove for twenty minutes and seeing the neighborhood they were driving through, Sasha frowned. “Are we going over to your parents’ house?”Michael chuckled but said nothing. Another ten minutes drive, they pulled in front of a massive gate. Michael glanced at Sasha and she raised her eyebrow at him. He smiled and turned to the windscreen, in seco
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Christopher, happy birthday to you,” Everyone chanted as Sasha walked out pushing a cart with a big creamy cake with seven lit candles.Chris was all smiles and Sasha noted that she hadn’t seen him smile so much since they left home over two months ago. And deep inside, she knew the reason and she was happy that she and Michael were able to sort their differences before his birthday came and in a way, she was able to keep her promise of celebrating his birthday as a one big family without compromising anything, nothing could make her any happier.“Alright Chris, make a wish,” Vanessa said and Chris gingerly walked over to the table that holds his big cake, closing his eyes, he blew out the candles.“What did you wish for?” Sasha asked with a smile, ruffling his hair.“I didn’t make a wish,” Chris replied.Everyone frowned at that, “why is that?” Michael asked.“I sent an appreciation prayer,” Chris replied facing every
Two weeks gone by, Sasha knew she has no grievances against Michael anymore, if even asked, she just wants them to be a family again but for some reason, she didn’t want to bring it up and was prepared to wait for him to do so. Her phone’s ringtone disrupted her thinking and she picked it from her desk, seeing the caller, she smiled and answered the call.“Sasha, how are you?” her voice drifted out from the phone.“I’m okay, Sharon and you?” Sasha asked.“I’m good. Are you in your office?”“Yes, why?”“I’m close by; you think we can grab lunch together?”“Definitely.”“Okay, I will wait for you at the restaurant.”“I will be there in five,” she answered and hung up the call. She closed the file she was supposed to be working on but instead was thinking about Michael and the time they spent in Paris. She grabbed her handbag and was out of the office in no time, bumping into Agatha. “Sorry,” she grinned, “what’s up?”Agatha glared at her while rubbing her nose, “I know you want to meet
Michael entered the restaurant where he hoped to see Sasha according to her text message. He scanned the room and saw her sitting and sipping a glass of what appeared to be Robert Mondavi, he smiled and walked up to her. “Excuse me ma’am, can I join you?”She glanced up at him and smiled, “I’m sorry but I’m waiting for someone.”“Is that so, could it be your husband?”“No, just some douche-bag that wants to have lunch with me,” she grinned.Michael placed a hand on his chest, feigning hurt. “I’m sure if you give him time that you will discover that he is not a douche-bag.”“Oh really, you must be a Good Samaritan if you are speaking well of him without even knowing him,” she placed her hand under her chin and stared up at him, a smile playing on her lips.Michael couldn’t help but notice how angelic she looked in her casual white top and blue jeans, her platinum wavy hair was falling down her shoulders like waterfall and he was gripped by the urge to lean down and kiss her, but instea
Michael got ready for his meeting that was starting in the next hour, he quickly grabbed his files and left his room, hoping to catch a quick breakfast with Sasha before he left. He already made orders in the restaurant and he hoped it would be ready by the time they got there. He heaved a sigh and knocked on her door softly, but after waiting for some seconds and there was no answer, he had to knock again, louder this time. Few seconds later, the door was thrown open by a really sleepy Sasha. He chuckled and raised an eyebrow, “late night?”Sasha yawned in a really not lady like manner and she showed that she didn’t give a damn what he thought, “some of us found it hard sleeping even after turning in. I Face timed with the kids and mom can be you know, something else.”Michael smiled, “well, since clearly you still need sleep, I will leave you to it.”“You are living already?”“Not till the next hour.”“I guess I really slept in didn’t I?”“It doesn’t matter, I will let them know to
Time flew by with Sasha and Michael getting closer than they ever thought they would, Sasha couldn’t help but feel that agreeing to start from the very beginning with him was the best decision she had ever made.She drove over to the Brown’s Villa where Vanessa had asked her to meet her. Arriving to the Villa, her children ran out to meet her and she was surprised, they have been staying with her mother for the past week now because she refused to let them leave, so what were they doing there?She kissed both their cheeks and they went inside together where she saw her mom and Vanessa laughing really hard at something. “Wow, that’s a sight you don’t see every day,” she smiled, walking up to them.“Sasha dear,” Vanessa smiled, “you are here.”The kids left her hands to go continue with their play. She kissed her mother on the cheek, “hi mom,” and then she kissed Vanessa as well, “hi mom.”“Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes dear,” Angelica said.“Oh, why wouldn’t she be, when I don’t kno
Sasha opened the door to the man standing outside dressed in a black blazer and white polo underneath and blank pants. He looked so different from the always in suit businessman she has come to know and she couldn’t not notice how handsome he looked.Michael was struck by the beauty of the lady in white in front of him; the gown she was wearing was among the recent things he bought for her during the time he got something for the kids. Never in his life had he imagined that she would wear anything from there anytime soon. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with few tendrils dropping at her cheeks, she smiled at his perusal, slowly biting her lower lip. “Wow,” was all he could say.“Wow what?” Sasha asked, feeling all giddy inside. This wasn’t the first time Michael was taking her out to eat but it was the first time he was picking her up to go on a date. She had sent the kids and Hannah to her mother’s place because she has been complaining that they don’t spend time with her enough t
Sasha parked in front of Friendly Zero, the new club that Janet insisted that they must attend as she has always wanted to check it out but didn’t want to go alone. She pulled down the visor and checked herself one more time on the mirror and pushed it back up. Then grabbing her clutch and phone, she killed the engine and climbed out of the car.She was the first to arrive among her friends and she loved that, for once she would be the one complaining of them keeping her waiting. It wasn’t long, she saw Janet pulling in and she grinned at her. Janet laughed seeing that and immediately after parking, she got down and went to her. “What is the matter Sash, why are you here already?”“Do you know how long I have been waiting?” she pretended to be angry.Janet laughed, “good for you, at least for once, you will be the one waiting.”Sasha grinned and glanced at the club door where two bouncers were attending to the long queue, “are you really sure we can get in there?”“Of course, why can’
