Kathy PovI woke up to his touch, I had slept off waiting for him, I opened my eyes and there he was, his hands in mine and the other on my face, I just kept looking at him."Why did you take so long to come back home? I have been waiting for you,"I finally said sitting up."Sorry baby, I needed to clear my head,"He called me baby, does that mean we are cool?"I thought you weren't going to come back home today because of what happened earlier,"I said as I stood up, rubbing off sleep from my eyes, when I saw his missed call that afternoon I had called back but he didn't pick up, so I felt he was mad at me for not taking his calls."Why won't I come home,""Are you drunk?""No,""You sound like you are though,""I am not, I just had a few drinks with Dean,""Oh,""Yeah, are you still mad at me?""I was never mad at you,""But earlier today,""I am sorry about that, I promise it's not you, it was all me,""Uh, I thought I said something to piss you off,""You didn't, I am sorry I rea
Cross Pov"Wakie, wakie, birthday boy,"Was what woke me up from sleep the next morning, we got to our cabin in Skaneateles lake, yesterday early, and had time to explore before we retired for the day, we went to the Charlie major nature trail on a bicycle, Katherine had complained all through the way, and kept cursing at me for making her suffer, I had a feed day laughing at her being angry because she was cute, I expected her to sleep in because even after we came back I didn't let her sleep until the early hours of today, she was an early riser which I wasn't, I hated waking up early."Are you going to get up or do you want the candle to burn out"She asked and I opened my eyes to see her holding a cake, wondering where she got it from, I sat up on the bed."Good morning princess, where is the cake from?"I asked rubbing my eyes to clear off sleep, I glanced at the time and it was already past nine am.,"I went out and got it from a shop down the way,""What? That's risky, you don'
Kathy Pov"Oh my God,"He said looking down at my legs, I tried to move them away from the trap but it caused me more pain."Don't move, it will only get worst, you are just gonna have to bear the pain while I pull it off,"He said bending over to my foot, he gently started to move the metal of my leg it was hella painful and I bit down hard on my lips to prevent me from crying out."Okay, done, now let's get you inside and see what we can do about the bleeding,"He said as he gently carried me up and made his way back to the cabin with me in his arms, I held on to him holding back the tears that threatened to drop any one moment."I will be right back,"He said as he dropped me on the chair, he was being extra careful and I felt thankful to him, he went off into the room in the cabin and came back with a first aid box."We are lucky there are supplies inside, so I am going to dress your wound and by tomorrow morning we will go and see a doctor,"He said. I nodded in agreement not lik
Kathy PovI stared at him, and he stared right back, he looked different, but in a good way, not like I expected him to suddenly be less good-looking or attractive in fact he was even more handsome now and like always he had great fashion sense, he looked well mannered too, no wonder he could fool me. like no one will ever believe he is a scammer and a thief, not when he looked that clean and handsome, but like the saying always goes, 'never judge a book by its cover,' I made the mistake of judging by how he looked and paid for it.It's was like we were having a staring contest or something, he neither acknowledged nor said any words, for a moment I thought he would pretend not to know me but the fact that he was standing there and looking at me, the initial shock on his face were gone and he didn't even look sorry or regretful, remembering how he left me stranded about four months ago, I clenched my hands into a fist and approached him, he smiled, the mudafucking son of a bastard sm
Cross Pov"Sir,""Yes?""You have a dinner party with the executives this evening, Mr. Andrew's party, it is already past six pm, I was wondering if you forgot, you have to be there by at least seven pm, the party starts at six pm which means you are already running late,""Oh, my bad, I did forget, I didn't even remember it was today, thanks for reminding, could you get me a change of clothes while I freshen up?""Sure sir,"She said and left, I quickly drop the file I had been working on and closed my laptop, moving over to the restroom in my office, I took a cold shower, by the time I was done, she was back with the clothes I needed for the party, it was more of a small get together and meet up, like I hoped she made the best choice, not to brag, I had a whole ass wardrobe in my office and it comes in handy in times like this when I forget an important event, not like this was really important, it was just the executives, I would give anything not to be there, but sadly I had to."
Kathy PovI woke up the next morning, with a startle, I had fallen asleep while waiting for Cross, I didn't even know when he came in, I looked over on the bed and he wasn't there and the bed didn't look like he has been there, I got up from the bed and rubbed my eyes, I looked around the room and there was no sign of him."Maybe he is downstairs,"I said out loud with a yawn, but then the possibility of that being the case was low because Cross was a late riser, I can count the few times he had woken up before me, and even those few times I always wake up to find him our room, to confirm my thoughts, I went downstairs to look for him, I didn't find him, I decided to go check the car park for the car he took to the office yesterday, I left home before him but I knew the SUV was his favorite, and like I expected the SUV wasn't in the parking lot, which means he didn't come home.He could have just called to say he wasn't coming home, I thought as I walked back inside to look for my pho
Cross PovI was finally able to finish all the get off work by after eight in the evening, my dad that went on about me having assistants and all, he needed to see the number of works that were left for me in just a short time that I was away, I stretched my body in tiredness, Katherine still didn't call me, I wondered if she did everything she had to do and got back home okay, I wanted to call her but I remembered I told her to call me if anything goes wrong since she didn't call means everything was okay, I didn't want to appear clingy, I hated the thought of that.I picked up my coat and laptop bag as I made my way out of the office, it was already so late that almost everyone else have left the building execpt for a few people that were pulling an all nighter, I said hello to all and wished them go night before leaving the office complex, I was so tired and feeling jet-leg compound with the fact that I haven't gotten up since I got to the office, I stretched my legs more as I got
Kathy Pov"Cross? Who is she?"I asked and waited for his answer, I want to see how he is going to get himself out of this, he lied about being at work the photo already proved that to think I was going to apologize to him for overreacting but then this said it all, he was a lier and by the picture a cheat too, the fact that his expression didn't even change, he didn't even appear to be sorry for being caught, he just kept staring at the photo."Are you going to answer me or are you going to keep staring at the photo? Are you doubting if you are the one in the photo? It's you, and a woman going into a hotel room and also you and her yesterday, now let's talk about being at work all day,"I said my anger increasing with each word."I owe you no explanations,"Was all he said, I actually knew that's what he was going to say, yeah that and also the mind my business part."Cross, really? That's what you are going to say? You owe me no explanation, my husband pictured going into a hotel r
