When Nichole noticed that they were looking at her, she playfully rushed to Carmela's side. “Nichole…” Carmela called, surprised. It was supposed to be a family dinner, why was Nichole here? She was never considered part of the family, only the best friend to Carmela. Who invited her? “Carmela! You’re here, didn’t know you’ll come this early.” Nichole arched her brow, pushing Carmela's shoulder playfully. Carmela felt a sudden rage towards Nichole and she slowly removed Nichole’s hands from her. Her breath coming in hot. “Didn’t know you’d be here, either.” she replied with a straight eye.“Surprisingly your dress looks PRRRRETTY.” Carmela's words lagged at the end of her statement as her eyes walked back to her husband. He coughed, throwing his face the other way. “Awwwn. Thanks. Yours looks pretty as well. Where did you get it from? I’m jealous.” She slapped Carmela's hands playful and all Carmela could reply was a serious face. “You don’t have to be.” “Why though?
“Max doesn’t have to answer that. Carmela what has gotten into you? You were not like this before.” As Nichole continued to ramble on, Max could feel his patience wearing thin. Finally, he had had enough. "Nichole," he said, cutting her off mid-sentence. "I need a moment alone. Excuse me." With that, he turned and headed for the bathroom, not bothering to look back to see if Nichole had followed. As he closed the door behind him, he could hear her voice, still talking, muffled by the bathroom walls. He leaned against the sink, running his hands through his hair. What was going on with her? Why couldn't she just be quiet. While Max made his way to the bathroom, Carmela remained seated at the table, a morsel of meat halfway to her mouth. Her eyes followed Nichole as she stood up and hurried after Max, and she felt a knot of worry forming in her stomach. Mrs. Atom, who had been quiet up until now, suddenly spoke up. "What's going on, dear?" she asked Carmela, her tone full of concern
Carmela was sleeping silently on her bed when her eye went open abruptly. Something was wrong, with her stomach. She was feeling nauseous. She stood to her feet and huskily rushed into the toilet. Slamming the door from behind. Max was also sleeping on the bed, opened his eyes. He sat on the bed and from afar heard Carmela coughing her whole intestine out. “Carmela, are you okay.” He called out. His hands sliding down his face, trying to keep himself awake. “Just a second.” Carmela replied back, washing her face quickly in the sink. “I’ll come out now.” Carmela clean her mouth with her mouth and sat on the closet sit. She ran her hand through her hairs and held the back of her head. She frowns. ‘Im pregnant.’ She whispered inwardly. ‘This is too early.’ She look around the bathroom and immediately she grabbed hold a tissue. She pulled a a wrap and lightly cleaned the top of her lips. “What’s wrong with you?” Max was already standing beside the door. He knocked on the door
Nichole screamed her way, pulling her clothes to her chest in embarrassment as seen naked. Carmela closed her eyes with her hands in a rush, holding her bag with her other hand. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you’d be busy.”Carmela apologized glued to the same position she was stationed. “I came by to check on you and apologize for the other day.” As Carmela was speaking, the man whom Nichole had just finished having sex with approached her with his trousers and other of his undies in his hands. “Sorry, Ma’am.” Carmela excused him and he rushed by, exiting afterwards. Carmela brought her hands down from her face and looked at Nichole under the white sheets. “You should have called Carmela. How did you even enter into my apartment? It was supposed to be locked from behind.” Nichole complained, slowly picking up her undies on the floor. She pulled it into her clothes and wore it on. “I knew your passcode.” Carmela looked back at the door. Nichole had told Carmela the passcode to he
The light in the room lightened slowly. It has been that last night was a hassle for both Carmela and Max. They were both sleeping peacefully on the comfy bed. Suddenly, Max rolled with a muffled sound. His eyes went open and he moved to the bedside table and looked at the time. He returned back and sighed briefly then turned to Carmela sleeping close to him. He didn’t know why she was this attractive now she was sleeping. They had been married together for more than 5 years, and even though he knew she didn’t have a child for him, he still loved her. He hated the fact that his family members didn’t like her after all she sacrificed just to please them. Soon, Carmela began to wake as he was still lost in thoughts. “Ohh…” When Carmela's eyes met with him, her heart skipped a beat. Her hands ran to her chest. “you scared me. Why are you up this early? And why are you looking at me like that? It creeped the hell out of me.” Carmela adjusted back away from him, a concerned loo
“What? Are you not happy to see me?” Nichole exclaims covering her mouth with her hands. She flings her randomly. “Why are you looking like you’ve just seen a ghost?” Well, Carmela wasn’t expecting her assistant to be Nichole. Why was it that Nichole was just everywhere in her life? How could Carmela completely remove Nichole? “Well because I’ve just seen one.” Carmela rolled her eyes. Not only was she surprised but also was she startled a bit. “Stop with the silly jokes. I did all this for you, you know…” Nichole opened her hands to hug her but was stopped halfway, Carmela frowning her lips a little disgusted. “when you were in that bed, I felt really bad and I couldn’t bear to see your spot taken away from you.” Nichole wrinkled her face like she was about to cry. It was all pretense and Carmela knew it. She could not be deceived once more. She knew all Nicholes's tactics and wasn’t going to fall for it once more. “So you stepped in,” Carmela speaks nodding her head towards h
Carmela's eyes scanned the bustling office, her gaze darting from face to face, searching for a familiar feature or a hint of recognition. She clutched the letter in her hand, the words blurring together as her mind raced with possibilities. She swept her gaze across the room, taking in the laptops and lattes, the hushed conversations and casual laughter. Her eyes lingered on a lone figure in the corner, typing away on their phone, but they seemed oblivious to her presence. She turned her attention to the couple by the window, holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes, clearly lost in their own world. Carmela's heart raced as she wondered, could it be a friend, a stranger, or even an enemy waiting to reveal a secret about her husband Max? The anonymity of the letter only added to the mystery, and Carmela's sense of urgency grew with each passing moment. Carmela stood up, her heart still racing from the anticipation, and made her way towards the lady who had delivered the
Carmela approached the Sunday Night Cafe, her heart racing with anticipation and a hint of trepidation. She had dressed carefully for the meeting, choosing a simple yet elegant black dress that fell just above her knees. A pair of dark sunglasses perched on her nose, and a lightweight scarf was draped effortlessly around her neck, its ends fluttering in the gentle breeze. The outfit was designed to make her blend in, yet still exude a sense of confidence and poise. As she walked towards the cafe, people milled about on the sidewalk, going about their evening routines. Some cast curious glances her way, but Carmela kept her gaze fixed on the cafe's entrance. She pushed open the door and stepped inside, her eyes adjusting to the warm, cozy atmosphere within. The cafe was quieter than she had expected, with only a handful of customers scattered about the room. A few sipped coffee or tea, while others typed away on their laptops or engaged in hushed conversations. Carmela's eye
