ELAINE.

I press my ears to the door to be sure that there is no sound of anybody walking before opening the door and peeping before padding softly to the room.

He was outside on the balcony leaning over still in his robe.

A cold shower must have reset my brain a little because I somehow had my senses more put together.

I got dressed quickly, choosing a white shorts and a floral top from the selection packed for.

My stomach rumbled, reminding me that I had barely eaten since about 14hours a

    Nik. My eyes roved lazily at the woman who was dressing up in front of me in appreciation. It is still a wonder to me how almost 18 months married and the attraction was almost instant. Especially seeing her perform mundane tasks and after birthing our babies. “I am not coming back into that bed with you, so you better forget about it.” Elaine rolled up her skin coloured fleece tights up her thighs and my eyes were fixated on the motion. I folded my hand under my head so I could watch her better. “How are you preparing for the re-opening?” Her face creased in frown and I chuckled, “it’s not easy to run a business" she sounded so exasperated that it was cute. “Tell me about it.” Running one restaurant was driving her crazy. I had tons of establishments across two major industries. Her eyes lit up in excitement, something that happened whenever she was emotional about what it was that she wanted to say. “Do you know how insane it is managing workers? Do you know how difficult it

    Words are like barbs. Sometimes you don't know when they sink in and stick. The moment the ladies left the room I got out from where I was hiding and finally let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding. The secrecy from earlier between Nik and Serena and the way they were discussing them gave me an inkling that something was up. The thin lady must be an ex, or someone who was once interested in Nik, in whatever capacity I don't know. I managed to rub my wet hand over my straight hair to make sure that there was no fly always and finally stumbled out of the toilet. Just outside Serena had come to the lounge also, probably looking for me and we almost bumped into each other on my way out. “Babe,” she called out in her soft voice and I managed to croak out a smile. “You look like you have seen a ghost, are you sure you're fine?” She followed her initial question. “Hmn hmm” I nodded rapidly, and made to leave when I noticed that the men had moved to the lounge too. Serena grunted

    Somehow standing here in his embrace was a statement he was trying to make and it made me feel uncomfortable because what exactly was he trying to prove.I didn't need to wonder any more when the group of ladies troupes to our booth all four of them. The smell of the cigar and their strong perfume all mixed together and it just made me feel more nauseous. “Serena,” the tall lady who was smiling at me in the mirror earlier greeted. “Eva.” She answered in return. The men were ignoring their presence because nobody acknowledged their presence for a while. “Nikolas,” she called out, in a softer, sultry tone that made the hair on the back of my hand stand out. Very few people used his full government name. Fewer people called him in that tone which he allowed. It suddenly made sense, I had seen her before. Several times, and at every meeting, the hostility slash weirdness between them was a thing. The way they switched to Greek and the Spanish in between it only served to ice me o

    Where the hell did you put your phone?” He yelled in my face and I clammed up straight away. “What?” Confused at how he had the audacity to be mad at me, when he is the one who had gone on another silence war. “You called me. Four times, you haven't called me once in two weeks and all of a sudden you're calling me four times. Do you know how worried I was?” He yelled and grabbed the edge of my shoulder so that I could see the variety of emotions being displayed. “You sent me a text..” I stammered. The text had made me so mad, and I wanted to give him a piece of my mind then. “Okay, and? So why did you switch off your phone? Do you have any idea how worried I was? I thought something had happened to you again.” He yelled and the fight drowned out of me. The fear in his gaze made my heart squeeze in hurt on his behalf. It was clear that he was thinking of the time I got kidnapped, but earlier in the day I wasn't thinking about him or wanting to be reached when I switched off

    Babe are you sure you're fine?” Serena asked and reached out to hold my hand and I nodded. We were all seated at the court side of a basketball game. The men had decided that since the New York Knicks made it to the playoffs this year that they were going to watch it live. Serena and I were sitting side by side and flanked on both sides by our husband. I shot a quick glance at Nik, whose entire attention was on the basketball court, and his careless hand which was squeezing my thigh. Serena, who was now facing the court, gave me a brief relief from the concerning looks and glances she had been shooting at me all night. I had on thigh high leader boots tucked into equally leather pants and a cropped white Jersey too. The goal was casual, yet cute. Unlike me, Serena was putting on stilleto heels and a mini bubble skirt, with a similar jersey of her all time favourite player. Nik was tense, and I could tell it was the game because every time the knicks threw a brick shot, or when

    Nik“Why not?” She asked and I could hear the bitterness and anger seeping through. “I have to work, and I have some projects I'm presently overseeing” I answered gently, trying not to escalate the matter, and spoon some of the delicious dessert into my mouth. The night had been going so well, a
