chapter 2 Address only my son as love

Linda Roberge's point of view;

   The sun was streaming into the room and I could hear voices outside my room.....my God....... what time is it? Eleven-forty-three. I jumped out of bed and quickly had my bath and prepared for work. 

     I pray my boss don't issue me the sack for coming so late to work. I opened the door of my room and found my in-laws and hubby at the door. 

    "My daughter....are you okay?, you scared the hell out of us ...I was thinking something bad happened to you overnight,my husband just called someone to  help break open the door of your room now,are you really okay? "Charles momma asked worriedly touching my face before breaking down in tears. 

    "I'm alright mom , I just slept late and could not wake up early" I answered feeling mad at myself for putting the whole family in panic . Charles dad had pulled his wife who still kept on sobbing into an embrace urging her to stop crying that I was alright and that's the most important thing. Charles on the other hand was leaning on the wall concentrating on his phone all the while as if all what happened didn't concern him at all. He didn't even spare me a look. How annoying!!!.

    I helped mom to a chair in the living room and sat down beside her consoling her to stop crying.

    I reached for my phone and put a call through my boss "hello love.. I'm sorry for being late....I just woke up not quite long..am not kidding...okay....yeah,spare me an hour or so....am so sorry.... thanks a bunch... don't worry, I'll make it to you....yahp ... I promise.... alright,gadbye dear....am also missing you..see you ASAP..okay take care.

     I ended the call and the air in the room dropped. The atmosphere changed as my mother-in-law asked me who I called.i smiled at her and told her it was my boss. It seems she's feeling bad for her son thinking I called my lover but I wasn't pissed at her because there's no mother that would want her child to be cheated on .

I quickly added that me and my boss happens to be best friends so I had to drop all formalities when talking to him except when we're at work. We had attended the same University then , I could remember us attending classes together. He'd be so lazy to do projects then and would be begging me to include his with mine . I'd comply knowing he's at my mercy and bully him a lot before handing him his projects. Sometimes,he would have to do my laundry for almost a month before I give him his projects....."still, you know you are married to my son now. It doesn't make lots of sense if you address your boss as love and my son as nothing;it doesn't work that way dear , don't repeat such thing"my mother-in-law scolded me interrupting my sweet thoughts. I nodded and she smiled at me patting my back.

    I gave Charles a sweet look and he shrugged at me. Is this the person am to call love ?, I don't think God himself will allow that.

    Dad had pecked mom on the lip before going to work and gave me a fatherly pat on the shoulder. He ignored Charles and went outta the house after waving us goodbye.

    It seems Charles dad is such a good man but what was wrong with the son that's always behaving like a drug addict?. He's the total opposite of his dad ,I must say.

   Mom urged me to have breakfast of plantain omelette and scrambled eggs together with lemon juice before going to work and I agreed instantly. I love plantain omelette a lot and could not turn down the offer .

   I pounced on the dining chair and tasted the meal,it was sooooooooo sweet . I was busy savouring the taste, moaning at intervals telling mom how delicious the food tasted when I gat struck with the fact that Charles gaze was on me . I almost coughed out the meal and had to quickly sip my drink,his gaze was penetrating and fierce. I quickly finished the food and complimented mom that the food was great when I got hit with yet another fact!. Charles was the one that cooked the meal. Little wonder he was giving me a fierce look,I would not have eaten the meal if I knew he was the cook. "Who knows?,he might poison me to death "I snorted in total disgust. I picked up my bag, gave mom a kiss and threw a mushy kiss at Charles who responded with an annoyed intense look.

    Mom told Charles to give me a ride to work since he was going towards the same direction but he declined. I was glad he did cos it would have been so uncomfortable to sit beside him in his car for almost fifty minutes.

    My phone rang and I picked up when I realised it was my boss. He said he is in my neighbourhood and would love to pick me up if am set for work already. I said a big YES and he pulled up at the gate after few minutes, I was in no good mood to drive so I was glad when he talked about picking me up.

    Charles was also about to leave when my boss arrived so I introduced them to each other. My boss had scooped me up in his arms and settled me in his car whilst Charles was watching. He waved him goodbye and off we went to work. We had talked randomly and laughed most of the time which made the drive to office kinda interesting.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^        Charles Williams Point of View

     Sunshine flooded the homey, comfortable bedroom. Soft ,cozy warmth permeated my body as I snuggled deeper into the bed.

    The sun shining through the huge windows told me I'd slept through the night.

     I stretched in the bed and pushed myself up. I settled back against the pillows and reached for my phone to call my P.A . She said I didn't have lots on my schedule except a meeting at 1pm and I grinned.

    A light tap on my door and Anna poked her head in"Good morning Charles, what should I prepare for breakfast?"

     "Morning dear, I thought Linda is supposed to prepare my breakfast. What's up with her?"I questioned Anna. She told me that Linda haven't opened her door this morning and it seems that she's still asleep.

     I checked the time and got alerted. Linda doesn't sleep this long, something must have gone wrong with her. I quickly jumped out of bed and headed towards her room only to find it locked. I pray this girl didn't hurt herself,my heart shrank and pain pierced through it.

   My parents joined me there in no time and we all were panic stricken. I started blaming myself for saying horrible words to her yesterday hoping with all my heart that she's okay. I had quickly called her parents and siblings,her younger brother promised roast me alive if anything is to happen to his sister and her parents were telling me to keep calm and take hold of the situation like a man.

     Dad called someone to help us break open the door and mom instructed me to cook breakfast of plantain omelette and scrambled eggs which is Linda's favourite meal on the basis that she might need to something when she's awake and for the first time in many weeks,I didn't say no. "Who am I to decline?, not in the kind of situation"I murmured to myself as I went into the kitchen.

    I served the meal and my parents had breakfast. I couldn't eat and was picking at my food ,father Lord please keep my wife safe. I promise not to misbehave again, have already learnt my lesson.

    We waited patiently at her door after having breakfast for the person dad called to help us break open the door, it's already twelve-eleven and there's no sign of..... the door opened interrupting my thoughts and I sighed in great relief. Thank God she's alright or I would not be able to forgive myself.

     Mom rushed towards her and asked her if she is alright before breaking down in tears. I do pity my mom one of these days, she's been thinking a lot.

     Linda said she was okay and had woken up late because she could not sleep last night but my mom still kept on sobbing. Dad called Linda's family to tell them that their daughter is alright before embracing mom , patting her back lovingly to console her. I hated scenes like this so much,it's one of the reasons why I don't wanna get married yet.

     I didn't want Linda to think I was worried because of her so I concentrated fully on my phone when I noticed that her gaze is on me.

    Linda sat down beside mom in the living room and wrapped herself around her in an assuring manner. I took my sit opposite theirs  still wondering whether I should go and prepare for the meeting my personal assistant told me about or sit down with these ladies when Linda called someone and addressed the person in a really sweet manner. 

    If I wasn't her husband, I would have thought she called her husband, how dare she address another man that way. I was raging with great fury and felt so hot .

    Mom asked her who she called and she said it was her boss and that they were friends so she could not address him formally unless they are at work. Dad tapped my shoulder gently in a reassuring manner and I smirked at him. Her boss my ass!!, I'm not a fool , it's obvious she is in a relationship with that chick she calls her boss. It's high time I set rules for her in this house.....I would not tolerate her cheating on me.

   Mom told her not to do that anymore and she gave me a sweet look after nodding to mom. I shrugged at her and concentrated on my phone again.

    Dad gave mom a farewell kiss on her cheek and patted  Linda shoulder. He ignored me and left the house after waving them goodbye.

   Mom urged Linda to have breakfast before going to work and she agreed to it to my very distate.

   She moaned when she tasted the meal,it seems she loved it. But then, what's wrong with me?... Linda's moans is actually getting to me and my body is responding to it in a way I don't think am pleased with. I could feel my erection pressing against my zipper,I can't believe my little wifey could make me lascivious with her moans. She almost coughed out the meal and had quickly drank the lemon juice when she noticed I was giving her a lecherous look. She quickly finished the food and complimented mom that the food was great. When I told her I was the one that cooked the meal, she snorted in disgust. I'm so sure she would not have eaten the meal if she knew I cooked it . 

   She picked up her bag and gave mom a kiss throwing me a mushy kiss and I responded with an intense look. I feel like taking her to bed right now but I can't lose to her so I controlled myself.

    Mom asked me to give Linda a ride to work and I declined immediately. I might end up doing the unthinkable if I have her close to me. I'm hanging on a really tiny thread of perseavance which might cut lose at anytime, I don't wanna risk anything at all.

     Her lover who she called her boss called to pick her up at home if she was set for work that he's in our neighbourhood and she agreed to it immediately with a smile plastered on her face not caring about me and mom's feelings. 

     I was about to leave , after taking a cold shower of course when he pulled up at our gate so Linda introduced us to each other. He's so Daring and bold to carry my wife in his arms and carry her into his car in my presence. He even had the guts to wave at me before driving off. Who the hell did he think he is?,am richer than he is and manages three top companies whilst he manages only one yet he is that proud and uncultured. If he keeps on messing around with my wife,I will have his tongue and legs cut off . "It's not like am jealous, I don't love my wife at all,I just hate it when people tamper with things that's mine, that's all !s! .I assuring myself that am not falling for Linda.

   Shit!, only God knows what they would be doing together right now. I gashed my teeth as I gat into the car ,I will make sure Linda apologize for the insult her boss threw at me !!!.
