I sat in my usual table near the back of Brownies. The place was packed, as usual, mostly because it's lunch rush but also because brownie makes some mean ass food.Glancing through the menu, i waited for someone to waite on me. It might be a while before i can get a waiter, so , knowing what i was going to order, i set the menu to the side and pulled out the new magazine i bought from the book store next door and opened the fashion page.The magazine is from MWD- Magazine weekly delight- and i feel like they are on of the best magazine company in the city because their items are really highlighted.Flicking through the pages, i stopped at the one that showcased a very tall supermodel wearing a black skin tight dress that is completely see-through. The model is wearing black underwear underneath the see-through dress. The black fabric sticks to the models skin and runs down to her ankle and is also full sleeved. The dark skinned model pulls off the look while she pushed her hips out
The week passed by in a blink of an eye and the day i have been dreading is finally here. Sunday.In the last couple of days, Karl and I have some how got ourself a little routine. I wake up every morning and make both of us breakfast while he showers and gets ready for work. Then, he comes down, looks at the plate i make for him, scoff at me and make his own coffee before he walks into the sitting room and read his newspaper. At least he didn't throw the plates at me so that's a change.Then, I'd rush to the bathroom and get myself ready. Afterwards, a forty-five minute silent and awkward ride to work with Karl ends our morning routine.At night, he would come late and wouldn't even bother to come to the dining room and because he comes in late, and sometimes even stays the night out, I don't bother to make dinner. I had to settle fo dry toast ever night because our fridge is pretty much a deserted island.When Karl does make it home, he take a short shower, changes into his sweats a
After lunch and a very flustered guards who appreciated my cooking, i was doing the dishes when Karl walked down the stairs with the tray in his hands.For a split second, i was scared that he didn't eat the food or worse, he was about to throw it at me. But to my surprise, Karl placed the empty dish in the soupy water before he stared down at me. The movement of my hands stopped as i waited for him to say something. After a shot seconds of silence, Karl reached out to open the cabinet above my head to reveal the morning cereals i bought.His large figure loomed over mine from behind me and his tick arms hang above my left shoulder. I can feel his calm breath fanning my head as he closed the cabinet and opened the cup board that was next to my right hip.I stood stiff as he assessed every cupboard around us with his body still very close to mine. Karl then proceeded to move over to the fridge and opened it up to see that it was fully stocked. He stared at ever lever of the fridge bef
I look around the brightly painted room as April looks for her drawing book under the pile of papers she has on her desk.The room was painted Hot pink and so were the carpets on the floor. It looks like the room came straight out of a Disney princess movie."I'm gonna go on a limb here and say you're favorite colour is pink."April chuckles as she pushes more papers off her desk until she final found a small black drawing book."It's not my all time favorite colour but it's what I'm feeling at the moment. Two months ago, my hair was bright purple and so was the walls and the carpets. Here." April pats the bed and gestures for me to sit next to her.Handing me her drawing book, she opened the cover to show me her first design."I came up with this a couple of years ago. I have more books but this one is very special."I looked through her designs and i was more than impressed."Wow... April this are really good."April beams at my comment as if she had never heard them from anyone els
Karl Thompson Drumming my fingers against my knee, i looked out the window, trying to ignore the woman sitting next to me.Tonight's dinner had been ridiculous thanks to April and Kaily. What was supposed to be another punishment to Lucy, might have turned out to be a good night for her. But not for me.Taking her to dinner was supposed to show her the family she will never be accepted in to, a family that will forever despise her for what she did to my baby sister.I pursued this marriage for one purpose only. But my own sisters are ruining it. But they're not the only ones ruining it. So am i.This woman confuses. I know who she is and what she's capable of, but in the one weeks I've been married to her, i am yet to see her ugly side, maybe if i push hard enough, she would show her true colors.I couldn't resist the urge to glance over to her direction. Lucy's looking out the window with her palms pressed against each other.I quit looked away with a frown when i r
Lucy ChawI looked through my boss' schedule and squeezed in a meeting with a potential investor before lunch.The Davis Company has been growing even more and stock price has shot through the roof. Stretched my arms above my head, i tried to relax my soar muscles. Last night had taken a tool on me. And even though the two tubes of ice cream i emptied helped, i still felt bad for eating so much.The dinner had really upset me. After the forced meal, we'd all collectively sat in the large sitting room in total silence. April tried her best to comfort me with a smile or by sitting next to me. But after a few minutes later, their parents asked to talk to April alone.They'd made their way to the room next to the one we were all at. Their voice was muffled but i could still guess that they were having a heated argument.After they returned, April had kept her distance from me and refused to even look at me. That moment had been unbearable. But just as Karl an
11:30I sighed as i watched the hours tik by and there is no sign or Karl. I wanted to take Dr. Goodman's advice and talk to Karl, tell him everything then see if he would understand or rub it in my face. But he still hasn't come home.I looked over to the dining table and another sigh escaped my lips. The dinner i made for him is now cold. The Creamy Steak Fettuccine i made following ever direction of a YouTube channel sat pretty at the middle of the circle table.I decided I'll wait a couple more minutes and then I'll leave it alone. when the clock hits midnight and i was getting up to put the dishes away, i heart the front door open and close, followed by Karl's slow footsteps.I waited for him to appear in the hall. Karl had his suit jacket off and hanging over his right arm as he used the left to rub his eyes. He looked pretty exhausted with how his always tense shoulders are slumped down."Karl?" I called out and saw his froze. After a couple of seconds, Karl turned his pale bl
The car was filled in silence as Karl drove me to work the next morning. Last night, after sharing dinner with Ethan and Stuart, i had made sure to stay downstairs a little longer to make sure that Karl would be asleep before i join him.I can never know what could set him off and he is harmless in his sleep so it was the best choice.I'd sat on the bed for about ten minutes and watched him sleep. With all the glare, scowl, the pushed together eyebrows and the angry curl of his lips, Karl looked like an angel. He seemed as gentle and as soft as a giant Inc-ed teddy bear that i couldn't help but stare. This morning, instead of just making toast for myself, i made some eggs too, just like i did the day before, but Karl refused to look at it, let alone eat it. Lossing my appetite, I told Ethan and Stuart that they can have their breakfast.I've learned that those two have a live-in job. Which means they live with us and stay in the guest house. From what I've seen when i first moved in
