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

    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 had kissed her before many times. He had kissed her gently, he had kissed her coaxingly, he had even kissed her teasingly—especially during those earlier times when we were on our baby moon, before the twins came. Later had come the impassioned kisses, the ones he’d struggled to keep in check because their desires had ignited so easily then. Today he was kissing me with so much anger and angst. “Nik..” I called out in fear, my entire body was shaking. The depths of the emotions I was feeling felt like it could topple me and swallow me whole “Don't…” my voice fell on deaf ears, and he looked as if he was quite set on not listening to me. “ Don't what?” He bit out tersely. “I hate you.” I rasped out, my breath now falling in short heavy pants, responding in full to the man whose weight had me pinned to the bed. “Yes, but you want me. You want me so bad that you can't even deny it.” His response was so true that the flimsy tee shirt I had pulled on when I crawled

    Elaine Nik stiffened beside me the moment he saw her and so did I. She had a small duffel bag at her feet, and when she got to where I was standing she made to hug me and I hugged her back loosely. “I know you haven't gotten back to me regarding what we discussed but I just couldn't stay in that

    ElaineI shot a quick glance at Nik and he was gripping the steering wheel so hard that fear gripped me. He hadn't said a word to me, since the ride began. I finally had time to check my phone and there were several messages and calls from him. He had been trying to reach me, and he must h

    I watched the girls get ready in the dorm room and my heart knocked over and over in my chest ribcage. It wasn't like I was doing anything majorly wrong but I still felt anxious about it. After all, I'm an adult and I don't need to report or ask for permission from him, before I go about my day

I thought of telling Elaine I was coming but decided against it last minute. Choosing instead to wait till I got home. My choice was proved right wh
