I packed my bag and followed Carl to the suite, since I had taken a shower I decided to just sleep so I would not look stressed for the wedding tomorrow.
The suite had only one bed, but it was large, large enough to have Carl on one end and myself on the other end without any of us touching each other.
As much as I wanted to stay away from him, I wanted him to make a move, to touch me, to make me moan for him.
I was disappointed, he made no move, he simply unpacked his things and went for a long shower, and before he got back, I was already asleep.
I woke up the next morning feeling energetic; I decided to play on Carl. I got up from the bed, although he was up, I did not acknowledge him. I did not even say good morning,
I just took off my sleep dress and stood naked in the room, I then walked to the bathroom swaging my hips, and I made sure Carl saw me. I took my time in the bat
"A penny for your thought" Carl asked bringing me back to consciousness"Where is the penny?"I asked trying to hide my worry behind a smileWe checked out of the suite and set back to Texas, on our way back I simply wished the car would yet again develop fault so we will be stuck together again for one more night,However, against my wish, the car drove in perfect condition, without even a stop.We arrived safely and the driver helped moved my bag to my apartment,Carl did not even alight from the car, neither did he even give me a good night kiss,"Thanks for the trip, and the dress, Good night" I said"Good night, you are entitled to a day rest after a trip, so you don't need to show up at the office tomorrow" Carl said to me in the most boss like voice he hadYet again I was hurt, whom was I deceiving
I wasn't feeling any better after the sex, as I lay down on my office floor, all I could think of was that in two weeks Carl will no longer have me to please him,He will wake up in the arms of Floral, he would explore her body as he had done with mine, he would love her, support her, cherish her, make love to her and most importantly he will forget me.It will be as if I never existed."Why did you come to the office?" Carl asked bringing me back to realityI got up and started putting back my clothes on, "I came to ask you about my debt to you""Are you dumb Melanie?" He asked me not looking annoyed but amused"I'm dumb because I want to pay my debt?" I asked"How can a small frame like you crash the side mirror of such a car?"What do you mean?" I asked confused"Earlier that day, the dri
Carl's POV (point of view)My life is so messed upI dropped by the office to pick up some paperwork I wanted to look into at night, only for Floral to show up and start spitting rubbish about we getting married in two weeks, she stomped out and that's when I saw a sight of Melanie, standing by the door, I wanted her to come in and hold my hands, but she didn't.She went to her office and I was not sure what she was doing there, I wasn't sure how much of the conversation she heard.I stood outside her office and heard her sobbing, I didn't know if I should leave her alone or go in and console her.I was having my own troubles but I couldn't just leave her in pain.I entered and she was giving me excuse of having something in her eyes.When I held her as she cried, my heart broke into a million pieces. I didn't do love, so I was sure I didn't love her, but I cared about her.We had nerve
I did all Carl asked me to sort out before my trip and was ready to retire home,“I have done all necessary task, I’d love to be on my way now” I said dismissing myself from the office.“After the meeting on Friday you can take the following week to be with your mom and step dad, I’d be giving myself a break as well so there won’t be any urgent work for you to do at the office, besides Andrea will resume next Monday and would have all urgent task handled” Carl was explaining but I was calculating the days in my head, if he was taking a week off, it was definitely for his honeymoon.Probably he would go to Paris the city of love or maybe the beach“Did you hear all I said Melanie?”Carl asked bringing me out of my thought“Yes sir, I heard you and properly understand all you’ve said”“Great, you ar
"Hello Melanie" Mark said making us aware that he was awake"Mark, how are you doing?" I asked smiling at him"It took me to be down with a terminal illness before your mom and I could set eyes on our daughter" our daughter? Mark saw me as his daughter."Don't say that Mark" I said not having an excuse to give"Andrew could you please see the doctor?I want to spend my last days in my house, with the people I love and not in the hospital" Mark said"You'll get proper care here Mark" my mom was trying to counter his decision"Come on dear, proper care or not, we know I don't have much time left, besides I know you will take perfect care of me, I was also thinking maybe we could go on our last vacation together before you start traveling the world without me"With the mention of vacation, mom burst into tears, I u
“I love you, I love you Carl James Mason” I declared shamelessly“You don’t love me Melanie, believe me you don’t, so stop saying rubbish”“I know when I’m in love, and I love you Carl, can’t you see it? Can’t you?”“Melanie I don’t do love, I am not capable of loving anyone, I can’t love you back, so stop loving me, stop please”“I can’t stop, I have no control of how I feel towards you, I have no control, if I do I would have stopped loving you a long time ago, I would have stopped loving you when I was on my internship. I would have stopped loving you when I saw you making out with Amy, I wouldn’t have loved you again when I crashed into your car, but I can’t, I can’t stop loving you Carl, I just can’t”“What internship? Who is Amy? What are you talking about Mel
THIRD PERSON’S POV (POINT OF VIEW)"Don't you dare touch me, I need air, and by the time I get back I don't want to see you in this room," Melanie scolded Carl for the first time since he has gotten to know her, no one has ever spoken to him that way except his dad.She was hurt, he knew she was, he had hurt her real bad, but he needed her to see that she couldn't love him, because even if he wanted to love her, he couldn't, his dad was going to ruin everything.As she headed out of the room, he looked out of the window and saw it was getting late, “she shouldn't be walking on the streets of San Antonio alone.” Carl said within himHe raced out and followed her at a distance, he didn't want her to know he was following her, he didn't want any harm to come to her because he was the one that led her out at this hour.He followed her until she got int
"Melanie are you feeling well?" Andrew asked bringing me out from my thoughts"I'm fine, just tired, I need to get some rest" I said covering up my hurt with a smile"Alright, finish up your meal, and I'd drop you off at the hotel""You don't need to drop me off, you've done that today already""Allow me take care of my kid sister" I laughed at this statement, I was glad Andrew considered me as a kid sister, thinking about it now, mom married into a wonderful family"I'm glad mom got married to Mark, he's a good man" I said, I won't have been able to help her get over grieving dad"We are glad she got married to us, really she changed dad, dad was this proud annoying man, but your mom melted him, that was something my own mom couldn't do, dad loved my mom but she was very submissive and always allowed dad have his way. But your mom is different, I remember wh
