"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
The sun light peeked through the curtains, shining on my face and forcing me to crack open my eyes.I rub my eyes before fully opening them up and looking around the sitting room.I'd spent the entire night waiting for Karl and must have dozed off.Rubbing the back of my neck, i got up and made my way to the stairs. I glance over to the open kitchen and saw that the plates were still out and i didn't put them in the fridge.With a sigh, i claimed up the stairs and went into our bedroom.The bed is still made from yesterday morning and there were no signs of my husband.After Karl had sent me the text last night, I'd tried to call him but his phone was immediately switched off, completed confusing the heck out of me.With another sigh, i got ready for work and went downstairs. The whole process was completely different from the previous day.Yesterday, i was riding a buzz and I was on cloud nine. But today, i just felt really grim.I walked into the Kitchen to fine the cousin twins pu
Karl Thompson... "He's gained another two percent, sir." Anderson said as he handed me the charts."Son of a bitch." I cussed, not believing the havoc Garzei Chaw was trying to create.I slammed my hand down on top of my desk before leaning back on my seat and closing my eyes."Prepare another meeting, Anderson. I need to speak with the rest of the board members.""Yes sir. But, if Garzei Chaw demands to be in the meeting, then there is nothing I can do to stop him."I glared at my assistant for stating the obvious."Right. I will get straight to it, sir." He said before turning around to leave the office."Anderson?" I stopped him. "Yes?""Is Lucy gone?" I asked, hating myself for even caring for a chaw at a moment like this."Yes. She left immediately before I walked in here." He said and stopped hesitantly for a while before he continued. "Mr. Thompson, I believe it is best if you speak with your wife about this matter. I think she might help. Maybe sh
