I stared at the phone as it continued to ring for several times and yet, i couldn't being myself to picking it up.I want to, i really do. But some part of me is telling me not to slide the green button, not to answer the phone because nothing good would ever come from it. Especially after she'd called me to tell me to leave her alone a few weeks ago. I just can't do it.The ringing stopped and the caller id once again went straight to my call log.Seven missed calls.I was tempted to shut my phone again and ignore the rest of the world."You okay?"Karl's voice snapped me out of my daze and i gasped before looking over to him. His concern was clear as day, an expression he has been wearing very often these days."Yeah. I'm okay."Karl sighed before walking over to me. He sat next to me and reached for my left hand."How did things go with Stuart?" I asked, to which Karl nodded his head."He'll be fine. He's just a little freaked out about what happened a couple of weeks ago.""Is he
The entire night, i was constantly stealing glances at my husband, wondering when would be the best time to start sharing.The dinner table was not an option as Ethan and Stuart were there so, i had to wait until we were alone.When we got to out bedroom, Karl went into the bathroom and i waited for him, sitting with my back pressed against the headboard and my lower half under the covers.I hugged one of the three books to my chest and waited for him to finish showering.I heard the water stop running and a few minutes later, Karl walked out with a towel hanging around his waist. He's drying his hair with a smaller towel like he always does.I watched his stand there and use his right hand to dry his silver blond hair. His thick muscles flex with every movement he made, forcing me to stare at his tattoos move with his arm."Like what you see!" Karl teased me and I quickly looked away as my cheeks warmed up.I heard Karl chuckle before he moved into the walk-in closet. It doesn't take
"Are you nervous?" Karl asked after he took a sip of his black coffee.I sighed before leaning back on my seat and pouted a bit."Just a little." I answered.Picking up my fork, i stabbed a large egg and stuffed it in my mouth. To be completely honest, I'm really nervous. Today is the first day I'm getting back to work after two month. January and February went by in a blink of an eyes and all i managed to do was hide at home and rest in the loving arms of my husband. But that ends today.The first of March is the day i go back to the Davis Company and I'm excited but also a lot nervous. I have a lot to catch up on and the last thing i want to do is mess up on my first day back.My boss didn't have a assistant before me so he would do fine without me so my spot as his assistant can be revoked at anytime.Princi had called me yesterday and asked if the rumors of my return were true. I haven't seen her since i got out of the hospital the day of Kaily's presentation even though she had
I sat on my chair, tapping my pen against the top of my desk as i remembered my conversation with Karl.Our lunch was perfect. Except for Brownie glaring at my husband once or twice, everything went without a hitch.Karl loved the food so much that he constantly complement Brownie until he softened her up and by the end of lunch, they were quit friendly.The one thing that made me sad was when Karl mentioned the Sunday family dinners.In the last two month, i wasn't comfortable enough to go out let alone join the family i have wronged and Karl refused to leave me even for an hour to visit his family.We've missed eight family dinners and Karl was wondering if i would like to go this Sunday.I realized how selfish i have been.The Thompsons are a really tight family so it must have been hard for Karl to miss all of those dinner and to tell his family members to not visit as to give me more time.Karl said that i shouldn't rush myself and if I don't want to go to the dinner this weekend
I looked down at Karl's sleeping face and hesitated.Should i wake him up and do it?I hugged the year book closer to my chest as i contemplated on my decision.Today, I'd spent the entire evening with my year book.As soon as i got off work at Lunch, i called Ethan and came home right away. After i had coffee ... Chocolate milkshake with Felisha, I'd been wanting to get back to my year book and keep on making mends. So, that's what i did.I came home, had Lunch with Ethan and a very moody Stuart - because he's quiting smoking - and i went upstairs to get some privacy with my year book.I'd called about a dozen of people, some were tougher than others but by the end of each call, I'd checked a little right mark on the side of their names.I'd stopped for a few minutes when Karl got home. He didn't want dinner and because he was exhausted, he immediately went to sleep.I, on the other hand, went back to making my calls.And now, with one last name to check off the year book, i have th
I held on to Karl's hand real tight the closer we got to the Thompsons Mansion. Just a few more minutes in the car and we'll be arriving there."Relax, Wife." Karl whispered into my ear.I bit my bottom lip as i glanced at him."Would they want me there?" I asked, feeling insecurity rear it's ugly head in my way.Karl pulled me closer and draped his arm over my shoulder. He kissed the top of my head and moved his hand up and down my arm.He doesn't dignify my question with an answer, he just holds me as an encouragement.I sighed as i ran my hand down the front of my red dress. The nerves were about to drive me crazy."We can turn the car around and go back home, Lucy. You don't have to go through with something you're not ready for." Karl said but i was quick to shake my head."No, I do want to be there. I'm just a little nervous is all."Karl looked at me for a few seconds before he nodded his head and looked out of the window to check if we're any closer to his childhood home. Kar
"This was your room?" I asked just to be sure and Karl nodded his head."Yup. This was where all the magic happened." He replied with a laugh.I chuckled along with him as i looked around the room.The walls are painted light blue with a darker shade going around the corners. It was also decorated with posters of professional wrestlers back in the day, most of them being Stone Cold Stevie Austin.I waled closer to his posters and admired them. One of them were a woman wrestler by the name of Beth Phoenix."I was kind of obsessed with professional wrestling." Karl commented as he stood beside me and looked at the posters. "She was my childhood crush." He said as he pointed to the female wrestler with a little laugh."I honestly couldn't have imagined."On the other side of the wall, there are multiple cups Karl won at different things, mostly sports."You were a pretty active child, weren't you?" I asked as i looked at Karl over my right shoulder.Karl nodded his head as he followed me
I looked at Karl's side of the bed only to find it empty. I pressed my palm on the sheets to realize that it was cold he it might have been some time since he left.My heart started to race and i shot up to frantically look around me. And right there on top of my nightstand, i saw a little piece of paper with Karl's hand writing."I got called in really early so i had to go. Don't forget to have your breakfast before you leave for work, Ethan will drive you. Good luck on your session today, Wife. I'll call afterwards. 'Husband'The instant relief i felt made me drop back down on the bed with a loud sigh.I don't know what the hell i was thinking would happen, that he would just up and leave after we shared an intimate night for the first time.He just had work to do so he left early and made sure to leave me a note. How sweet is that?I looked at the clock on Karl's nightstand and sighed again when I realized that i need to start getting ready fo
